Everything I wish would change, I know won't change
And since the fracture, I have been the same but not the same
Now this world seems but a room, winter now a time of day
This will be the longest night, ending the shortest three years of my fucking life

I know I need to understand, I just don't know if I can
I know I need to understand, but I'm just not sure I can

When your new and novel world grows tired and gets old
I wish you would have let me say that I told you so
You can crash back to this place with arms wider than distant space
But when you look around, and scour this ground, you'll find I'm nowhere to be found

I know I need to understand, I just don't know if I can
I know I need to understand, but I'm just not sure I can
I know I need to understand, right now that's just not the plan

To Understand

I've always held my hands over my eyes in the scariest part of stories
What am I scared of? The realization that I'm not in control
And letting go has never been my strong suit
But if I can't see, then I can't know
My hands are made of stone, that's a form of control

East of anywhere, east of the setting sun
If I don't look back now, are we really done

So I think it's pretty easy to explain my current state of mind
But I realize the futility of waiting for the world to stop its spin and stand in place

East of anywhere, east of the setting sun
If I don't look back now, are we really done
East of anywhere, east of the setting sun
If I don't look back now, are we really done

With hands of stone, are we in control

Whoa x3
Control
Whoa x3 
Control
Whoa x3
Control
Whoa x3
In control

Titanic

There's no more light amidst this darkness
Stolen sister's left a trace
Now my family to your family
Now her courage on your face

No more wounds to spare for all this salt
Or battered brother's low demands
Now my family to you family
Now his blood upon your hands

We've worn this season without longing
We're still compelled to skin and bone
There's been a settling of this flight now, honey
But we're still so far away from home
All the answers have their justice
All the questions, perfect gold
And this fear is stripped of all it's force
But we're still so far away from home, no no no
Still so far away from home

No more oil left to bait these flames
Of frightened father's deep descent
Now my family to your family
Now his strength completely spent

No more kin to comfort, nor comforting
Near our mourning mother's breast
Now my family to your family
Now her tears run with the rest

We've worn this season without longing
We're still compelled to skin and bone
There's been a settling of this flight now, honey
But we're still so far away from home
All the answers have their justice
All the questions, perfect gold
And this fear is stripped of all it's force
But we're still so far away from home, no no no
Still so far away from home

What space won't you profess a church?
What ends won't justify your means?
What blessings won't absolve your sins of hungrily waiting in the wings?

We've worn this season without longing
We're still compelled to skin and bone
There's been a settling of this flight now, honey
But we're still so far away from home
Every answer has its justice
Every question, perfect gold
And this fear is stripped of all it's force
But we're still so far away from home, no no no
Still so far away from home
Oh will we ever find our home
Still so far away from home

So Far Away From Home

There are monsters in the moonlight
Still as stone and cold with rage
Maws forever craving concrete
Stalking steel and stolen space

And as the sun breaks
We brave their backs
See the safety as they may
We can have one
But not the other
So we take numbers 
And shout names

There's cold water in these canyons
But there's hot air near the sands
And there's a remembered course 
Of an old spring source
Where a new cash flow now stands

And as the sun sleeps
It stains its home
In a gold that shines all day
But they cut the heads off
Those sunken snakes
To bar the darkness anyway

Millions of crawling creatures
Moving one at a time
White eyes glowing in the front
And red ones from behind

Millions of crawling creatures
Each one inching down that line
White eyes glowing in the front
And red ones from behind

Yeah, there are monsters in the moonlight
