Iron, Water, and Wood

Refrain:
Out of our hats we pull magic surprises
Wisdom is beauty, it comes in many disguises
Out of the earth: Iron, water, and wood
Lend me your strength
My intentions are good
x2

We stagger through life and get beat to the ground
The heavens above pointing which way is down
All the while mocking that pain has a sound
Fear crushes in, treachery is abound

And just as we’re breaking down

Refrain:
Out of our hats we pull magic surprises
Wisdom is beauty and the tide always rises
Out of the earth: Iron, water, and wood
Lend me your strength
My intentions are good

We break from the crowd to evolve on our own
Only to find we were always alone
Tempered and tested and turning to stone
Please take all my flesh and my blood and my bones

And just as we’ve lost the tone

Refrain:
Out of our hats we pull magic surprises
Wisdom is beauty, it comes in many disguises
Out of the earth: Iron, water, and wood
Lend me your strength
My intentions are good

Cosmonauts

I’ve accepted all of the conditions
Of my role as the fool
because the founder of the conscience
Is the king of something cruel
And we can do shots like cosmonauts
In outer space and leave the world behind
I told you I was sorry if
your fall from grace
Was all my fault this time
I Need to know
If I were yours
I couldn’t be mine again

I began this trip with visions
Of a Shangrala of fuel
But the founder of this vision
Is the Jack of all that’s mute
And we can do shots like cosmonauts
And bombardiers with bandoliers of hope
That cross their hearts and hope to die
With honest eyes
And dignified reproach
I need to know
If I were mine
I couldn’t be yours again

I’ve accepted all of the conditions
Of my role as the fool
because the founder of the conscience
Is the king of something cruel
And we can do shots like cosmonauts
In outer space and leave the world behind
I told you I was sorry if
your fall from grace
Was all my fault this time
I need to know
If I were yours
I couldn’t be mine again

Falling Stars

Waiting patiently for me
I see that you haven’t lost faith yet
Someday our wishes will all come true
see if the falling stars would like to dance
the romance a tragedy provides
see if the falling stars would like to dance

Breaking her will so she’d believe in me
I hurt her I hurt her
breaking my will so I’d believe in her
There, but for our grace, we go

The shadowy hand that held the light is gone
and wisdom can’t be memorized
I see the changing has already begun
See if the falling stars would like to dance
the romance a tragedy provides
see if the falling stars would like to dance

Breaking her will so she’d believe in me
I hurt her I hurt her
breaking my will so I’d believe in her
There, but for our grace, we go

Waiting patiently for me
I see that you haven’t lost faith yet
Someday our wishes will all come true
see if the falling stars would like to dance
the romance a tragedy provides
see if the falling stars would like to dance

Breaking her will so she’d believe in me
I hurt her I hurt her
breaking my will so I’d believe in her
There, but for our grace, we go

Letters to Earth

This is not empathy
this is not love you’ve known before
this is not destiny
this is not fate immovable

This is not empathy
this is not love that you’ve known before
this is not destiny
this is not fate immovable

In all the years you’ve known me
my ship has never run a ground
now shallow waters leave me low
Letters fall to earth

This is not empathy
this is not love that you’ve been taught
this is not destiny
It’s not the fate that you had fought

In all the years you’ve known me
my ship has never run a ground
now shallow waters leave me low
Letters fall to earth

[- – -]

Then when you came to me
It was not love you had in mind
that was not destiny
that was not fate, we both were blind

Then when you came to me
It was not love you had in mind
that was not destiny
that was not fate, we both were blind

In all the years you’ve known me
my ship has never run a ground
now shallow waters leave me low
Letters fall to earth

This is not empathy
this is not love that you’ve known before
this is not destiny
this is not fate immovable

In all the years you’ve known me
my ship has never run a ground
now shallow waters leave me low
Letters fall to earth
