LYRICS:
. THE WILLFUL SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF

You're setting sail, never thought you'd get wet, regret, the rise and fall of every slippery breath, instead. And I believed it all.

You're on a high, staring down at the blue sky, deny the slight of hand, covers over in gray, a stay.

And I believed it all The devil and the dawn It all, the wicked and the rise and the fall of it all.

Took out a sign, you cant miss it from the highway, the skyway It rolls at night over the passers by inside

And I believed it all ...the dog and all the bones It all, the wicked and the rise and the fall of it all It all, the devil and the dawn It all, the wicked and the rise and the fall of it all

Don't wanna set you right, I want a drag of that cigarette. Don't wanna see you around, I wanna live on your front porch steps. Give in , yeah, give in yeah, give in.

Pulp and science fiction, it takes a special skill to keep conviction Still running round the city caped in bed sheets , you wouldn't take off for any reason. 
a light to catch your eyes on, they only ever fix on one horizon

And I believed it all ...the dog and all the bones It all, the wicked and the rise and the fall of it all It all, the devil and the dawn It all, the wicked and the rise and the fall of it all

LYRICS:
Sold all the space in my head All the sounds I had left And I never got gone so long

Tracing back my steps muddy right then a left never cared about making sense

And I'll always shake it off (Ink to new skin) And I'll always shut it down (Ink to new skin)

Are you melting in the ice caps? Another citizen of "done but not complete" And you're sleeping in those white gloves Selling pieces of your bones off one by one

I want a reason now I wanna figure you out Keep on looking never take your eyes off Keep on looking never take your eyes off me

Tearing down the sheets window covering, all the motion of the river outside its the sound of cracking under your feet In a dead strong silent hall

And I'll always shake it off (Ink to new skin) And I'll always shut it down (Ink to new skin)

Are you melting in the ice caps? Another citizen of "done but not complete" And you're sleeping in those white gloves Selling pieces of your bones off one by one

In the middle of the street there's a sound that's pushing up from your feet and it's "good sad". In the middle of the night there's a highway running through your head, and you're sitting on your hands
