Let me in [Redux]

Oh won't you please let me in
I got something I wanna shout about
I've been spending too much time
Soaking in the remnants of
The hate, the trace they left behind
And the trees the begin to sway
From the weight of all this rain
Since before we lost our way
Can't promise not to make a mess
Unbolt the door and let me in
Let me in let me in
Where do you go
When the thunder and rain
Keeps on crashing down
We can't keep hiding
The water is rising
We slowly drown
Oh won't you please let me in
This fist is strained from clenching
I don't even know how it begins
The wall is coming down
The rain is pouring
As we reach beyond our limits
To higher ground
Is beyond our reach
Let me in before we're
Lost and then our bodies
Plug the breech
The promises we made
Open the door and we
Might have a chance
A chance of being saved
We can't keep surviving
The water is rising
The machine is broken
Intentions unfolding
We need agitation
And new information
With our fists we're hopin'
But the door will not open

The Kraken
03:26
|

|
Luck is the residue of your design
Faded to yellow and then lost in time
This ship has sailed on a tide of words
Written down but then tossed and burned
And we got problems but we don't have time
You don't have problems then you don't know your mind
We're sent to corners but we don't know the crime
Our volition is what makes us cry
The press has shut down
And the Kraken awakes
You'll drink to the drop to be sure of your faith
The glass is half empty and sorrow's asleep
As he sits there and spins me the tales of the deep
Look at the pages blowing down the street
A cold reflection of our darkest deceit
And check the corner of your minds eye
Your intuition is what makes you blind
And we got problems but we don't have time
You don't have problems then you don't know your mind
We're sent to corners but we don't know the crime
Our volition is what makes us cry
The press has shut down
And the Kraken awakes
You'll drink to the drop to be sure of your faith
The glass is half empty and sorrow's asleep
As he sits there and spins me the tales of the deep
When you're going
When you're going home
When you're going
When you're going home
When you're going
When you're going home
The press has shut down
And the Kraken awakes
You'll drink to the drop to be sure of your faith
The glass is half empty and sorrow's asleep
As he sits there and spins me the tales of the deep

Walking the straw dog
03:29
|

When you thought you knew yourself
When you got it figured out
When you thought you knew your place
And a question tears it down
Tear it down, tear it down
And start again
And a label don't help
And a label don't work
But it makes a little sense
And it's better than before
You're not alone, there's nothing wrong
You're not alone
Look across the room from behind your mask
As the drinks go down for the final act
You show yourself
But just one side
If no one knows
Then we'll survive
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Looking back across the years
You start to figure out
There's a pattern in the madness
There was method in your doubt
You see the colour
Of the lens
You viewed the world
When you found the right words
But you didn't even look
When you petted straw dogs
And the ego that it took
You robbed yourself
Of the dignity
Of your words
Look across the room from behind your mask
As the drinks go down for the final act
You show yourself
But just one side
If no one knows
Then we'll survive
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
