Wearing the name on my body
Painting the faith on my soul
Baring my teeth just to hold on
Practice the art of control
Emblems of cavemen they taught me
The importance of typing in bold
The weight of a simple depiction
As the days unfold
As the hour grows
As the hour grows
I know that I can keep the voice of doubt from speaking on its own
Cuz I’ve always been a silent figure
And I’ve never been a man of stone
I sure don't have eyes like an eagle's
I couldn't be waiting for war
Why should I think that I'd have survived
In the days of yore
But the gifts of the Greeks oh they taught me
Radio favors the bold
The key to survival is pleasing your rivals
Till the days unfold
As the hour grows
As the hour grows
I know that I can keep the voice of doubt from speaking on its own
Cuz I’ve always been a silent figure
And I’ve never been a man of stone
Yeah the fevers of Wallace they taught me
That wisdom began with a cold
So let me grow feeble and fragile
As the days unfold - Track Name: The Running of the Bulls

Close your eyes and hold our Spanish world
Keep it nice, just beneath your auburn curls
What you keep inside when the ceremonies fail
Like the sand in an oyster, oh I hope
Cuz now I’m running for my life
Would you try to tame the running of the bulls?
Would you have combed through the streets in the strife?
Would you try to brave the pushes and the pulls?
But the dress you wore is red, so this is how we say goodbye this time
They were coming fast and the plane was fully-manned
Couldn’t make it back to the rendezvous we planned
Now a scene remains, and I will not soon forget
Just a lonely breeze and you where we met
Would you try to tame the running of the bulls?
Would you have combed through the streets in the strife?
Would you try to brave the pushes and the pulls?
But the dress you wore is red, so this is how we say goodbye this time
When the mobs amass and take us forth
We’re all off to the race and swept away
To the running of the bulls
Should I have blown through the streets to where you are?
I’ll always try to blame the running of the bulls
But honey the dress you wore was red, so this is how we say goodbye
The dress you wore was red, so honey this is how we say goodbye
This is how we say goodbye in this life
And this is how I say goodbye this time
This is how I say - Track Name: I Don't Know, I Don't Know

Oh no here it comes again
Those words aimed at my chest
See I’d like to steal a ‘dozer
I would level out my past
And just leave what I’ve done best
But you’d bring me straight back to my darkest day
When words rained down so hard
I must’ve fallen asleep just riding on the train
Awoke to find a dark rail yard
See I never meant to come this far
I lost myself
Lost myself in it
Lost myself and I
I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know my heart at all
Lean close, all this history in the way
Still there’s more you’d have me say
How love can be a leech
The doctor said would do you good
But it drains your health away
I just never thought it’d bleed me blind
It’s like it never even crossed my mind
That I had I lost myself
Lost myself in it
Lost myself and I
I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know my heart at all
Time’s an easy thing to regret
As if you could have better rationed it
Given one more go - Track Name: The Precipice

I walked two worlds on traveler’s feet to spots concealed in fog
Not salt, nor stone, so endlessly could tease my catalogue
Till I fell asleep on the cliff side and woke to the sound of the wind chime
It spoke, “you’re alone son.” Oh what now?
Cuz I don’t know the future like the cliff-edge does
Some small change just bought a past that never before was
While I don’t know the future, yeah
Yours were those that held me back as I toed the precipice
I’d fall like stone, no I’ve never flown, but I’ve always dreamed to try it
If falling shows, while facing it grows, am I standing here the wiser?
When I fell asleep on that cliff-side, and woke to the sound of the wind chime
It spoke, eyes wide open, saying “don’t look down”
While I don’t know the future, like the cliff-edge does
Some small change just bought a past that never before one
While I don’t know the future, yeah yeah yeah
Yours was that which echoed back when I sang to the abyss
Yours were those still looking back when I felt another’s kiss
Yeah yours were those that held me back as I toed the precipice
