Rest your head and still yourself tonight
Make your bed and walk into the light

Your wind has gone, carried from
The valley to the sea

Break your bread and drink, as is your right
In your stead we'll take up for your fight

Paul

I felt a chill come to guide me
I heard the open door
He took my hand down to lead me
Across the golden floor
He said, “My child, represent me
The open road is yours
Into a world turned against me
Yourself you’ll lay down for”

I kept the Word square beside me
I set my demons first
Their songs were sweeter than honey
Their breath was winterburst
I tried to beat back the moonlight
I only staved the dawn
I watched the fire touch the inside
And so the night was long

So long so it takes you in
So long 'til I'm home again

I walked a mile down the south street
The end was drawing near
I passed from marble to concrete
The ending disappeared
I asked of roads I have ridden
They said to linger on
I asked if I’ve come unbidden
He said to carry on

Carry on though your will may bend
Carry on ’til the bitter end

So I’ve come so far but where we are
Was never any better than where we’ve been
So I’m spinnin’ ‘round in the clouds
And everything just pulls me back within

Ooh ah, coming down again
Ooh ah, let me down again
Ooh ah, I am lost again
So let me start again

I heard the open door
He took my hand down to lead me
To where I was before

The Open Door

Rest your head and close your eyes
Dream a dream of a world gone by
Once upon a time
Settle in for another day
There’s so much you want to say
If you could find a way

Lift your eyes for all to see
Raise your ears to the melody
Of all you still could be
You don’t have to walk alone
Venturing in the great unknown
Waiting for someone to bring you home

Life’s a blessing you just have to choose
Just know that I’ll be standing right with you

Life’s a blessing you just have to choose
Just know that I’ll be standing right with you
Your days grow brighter when time starts to move
Just know we’ll all be waiting here for you
Life’s a blessing you just have to choose
Just know that I’ll be standing right with you
Your days grow brighter when time starts to move
Just know we’ll all be waiting here for you

Life's a Blessing

Wake up, it’s time to open up your windows
Let the light shine through from the twilight view
Save up every penny that you made from
Selling shares of you when they asked you to
They sang the sweetest of love songs
They held your feet off the ground
They set the greatest of fires
Then left you deaf to the sound
Wake up, the sun is setting and you’ve missed out
On the light it’s left behind 

But all you say is
“Let it be, let it be, let it be
Oh why can’t you just
Let it be, let it be, let it be
Don’t you see I don’t
Wanna leave, wanna leave, wanna leave
Won’t you let me sleep”

Wake up, you’ve been drinking of a poison
With the taste of god in the noble rot
Make up with your brothers and your sisters
From the wars you’ve fought, see the scars they’ve wrought
I offer you pain and struggle
I offer blood, sweat, and tears
I know it’s hardest to follow
I know I don’t feel your fear
Wake up, the bed you lay in is slowly breaking
From the weight it’s holding up

I hear you saying
“Let it be, let it be, let it be
Oh why can’t you just
Let it be, let it be, let it be
Don’t you see I don’t
Wanna leave, wanna leave, wanna leave
Won’t you let me sleep”

Won’t you please let it be, I’m afraid of the dark
Those voices deep inside laugh at me from far behind
You won’t be there for me, I’m not seeing what you see
There’s no other way to be, so let it be, so let it be
Don’t make me wake up, there’s a comfort in this reverie
I don’t wanna lose, I refuse, I refuse
I won’t wake up, close the curtains on my window
There’s no light for us to find

Oh please don’t tell me
“Let it be, let it be, let it be”
You know I can’t just
Let it be, let it be, let it be
Come with me ‘cause I
Wanna leave, wanna leave, wanna leave
Don’t go back to sleep

(Let it be, let it be, let it be
Let me sleep)

Let It Be (Wake Up) (feat. OPHELIA ANADYOMENE)

Rain
Come pull me up again
Come pull me up again, oh
Rain
And wash away the blood

Let it come, let it come
In a flood, oh a flood

The last time we talked was a thousand years
We built us a bridge made of gold
When night came, the darkness played tricks on our eyes
The fire couldn’t scare off the cold
The last time we saw we turned down the lights
We spoke through our savers of souls
When sun broke the sky, our bridge was long gone
There’s something in the water, I know

Rain
Come pull me up again
Come pull me up again, oh
Rain
And wash away the blood
Oh, come down on me
Rain
Come pull me up again
Come pull me up again, oh
Rain

Rain

But I'm not down
I'm okay
Yeah I'm not down
I'm not running away

Interlude (I'm Not Down)

Seventeenth of June
I’m all alone with you
You’re going much too soon
There’s nothing I could do
I know I’m not a lover
I know I’m not a friend
I know I’m much too clever
To let it be the end

Break away

I’m breaking all the rules (Oh you never cared for ‘em anyway)
I’ve bet it all on you (That you did, that you did)
I’m stranded in this room (Did you think this far ahead)
It’s colder without you (But anyone would do)
I know it’s long been over (Oh don’t you start with me)
I know you’re out again (I’m moving on, I’m moving on)
I know it’s left you broken (Whose fault do you think that is)
You never could pretend (You don’t know anything)

Break away

I’ve never scratched your picture (Oh it’s easier if you did)
I’ve never bent the truth (But sometimes I wish you would)
I’ve never left your corner (I don’t want your kind of sympathy)
No matter what I lose (Ah)

Break away

Break Away

I think there’s something wrong
Think they’ve found out about me
Feels like they’ve finally sent the whole world out to change me
I hear their siren song
That they’ve put out to catch me
But I’ve been listening far too long to let it get me

I hear them coming down hard
Searching every cornerstone, will they ever leave alone? Never
I feel them raising their guard
Trying not to hear me, don’t let them hear me

Because I’m dangerous
The border’s breaking down, I’m ready to burst
The word was made for us
I’m not going down without a fight
You know I’m dangerous
If they don’t bring me down, they’re ready to burst
You know their hate for us
So come on, come with me, come on, come with me

They’ve got me on the run
They’ve got me hide-and-seeking
They’re doing everything to keep me from ever speaking
I’m Wanted Number One
I’m whispered conversation
I’m hanging on the edge of everything you’ve ever held

I hear them playing their noise
Drowning every paradigm, don’t you read between the lines ever
I keep from raising my voice
So they don’t hear me, don’t let them hear me

Because I’m dangerous
The border’s breaking down, I’m ready to burst
The word was made for us
Life out from underneath their heels
You know I’m dangerous
If they don’t bring me down, they’re ready to burst
You know their fate for us
So come on, come with me, come on, come with me

Don’t let them tell you your world
Listen with your lying ears, made for facing down your fears, yeah
Scream if you wanna be heard
So you can save me, won’t you come save me

Because I’m dangerous
The border’s breaking down, I’m ready to burst
The word was made for us
I’m not going down without a fight
You know I’m dangerous
If they don’t bring me down, they’re ready to burst
You know their hate for us
So come on, come with me, come on, come with me

Dangerous

I’m drowning in the silicon, I’m breathing in the rust
My lungs are tarred and feathered with the dust
I gaze up to the motherboard, its highways overrun
It fills me with a shame to speak its tongue

You’re on the edge of Labyrinth, I’m pulling you away
The Minotaur’s been digging you your grave
But you’re off in search of ecstasy inside the scrolling feeds
To hear that what you want is what you need

Yeah, so I tore that chip out from inside my eyes
Yeah, so I’d know that I could trust what I see
Yeah, and I swore that I would bring you back alive
Yeah, don’t give up on me, don’t give up on me

You’re lost beyond the Perlin sea and washed upon the shore
Where dreams are made and catalogued to tour
The lotus eaters beckon you, their faces hazed and stoned
The table is prepared, your seat is shown

I strip the wire to the core, connect it to the sun
To take you off the grid and on the run
But your head is burning to the touch, a heat sink for the code
Programming you into someone I don’t know

Yeah, so I tore that chip out from inside my eyes
Yeah, so I’d know that I could trust what I see
Yeah, and I swore that I would bring you back alive
Yeah, don’t give up on me, don’t give up on me

All she's got is the way he looks
Many miles on the other side
He had overheard her choice
And he delved off her cliffside
Sacrifice, he just wants to help
Holds the world like a baby
Takes his mask off and lulls his head
Then she sees him in his screen

They both see the traps
No fool, oh
They won't go back
No fool, oh
They've got a mind track
No fool, oh
It's all a mystery
Let it come and let it be

All he's got is the way she looked
As she broke from her tether line
She had sheltered in his voice
And she caved to the inside
Discontentment, she paints her smile
Roams the world like an oak tree
Lets her hair down and lulls her head
Then he sees her in her screen

They both see the traps
No fool, oh
They won't go back
No fool, oh
They've got a mind track
No fool, oh
It's all a mystery
Let it come and let it be
