ATLAS GENIUS Inanimate Objects LYRICS

The Stone Mill
So is this what you waited for
I can't help you figure it out
To break into the heart of the expectation
It takes a night to figure it out
Know we're in this one
We're not really in it until we've given it all we've got
The setting sun
We can still admit that's there's a chance that we might have one
So we collide and falls and rises up again
Still we decided falls and and rises up again
Within the city of grey
The patterns appear
And all the rest of our fear
The spaces inbetween
Where we want to be
Is there a forest in the trees
And is it what we waited for
We could never figure it out
To break into the heart of the expectation
It takes a life to figure it out
Til we collide and falls and rises up again
Still we decided falls and and rises up again
Til we collide and falls and rises up again
Still we decided falls and and rises up again
So we collide and falls and rises up again
Still we decided falls and and rises up again
So we collide and falls and rises up again
Still we decided what falls and and rises up again
So we collide and falls and rises up again
Still we decided what falls and and rises up again

Molecules
We steal the molecules from the dead
We liberate inanimate objects
Is this a path of will up ahead?
Or are we just destined to get what we get?
True to your face like never before
Even the mistakes aren't really mistakes at all
I wanna confess that you own me
And we don't rest if we're lonely
There's innocence in the moment
Maybe now's the time to be alive
We steal the molecules from the dead
We liberate inanimate objects
Is this a sign of will in our head?
Or are we predestined to get what we get?
True to your face like never before
Even the mistakes aren't really mistakes at all
I wanna confess that you own me
And we don't rest if we're lonely
There's innocence in the moment
Maybe now's the time to be alive
We're just fragments of a great collide
I wanna confess that you own me
And we don't rest if we're lonely
There's innocence in the moment
Maybe now's the time to be alive
There's innocence in the moment
Maybe now's the time to be alive
Maybe now's the time to be alive

Stockholm
Won a moment, lost the bet
Saw a mountain, went to bed
Paid a ransom for a ghost
For the thing I want the most
So I left to find a home
For a place to call my own
Even if you think we're not
We're close to close in love
It's an end to end the start
We're moving from the ground floor
Rising tide
Push us out more
How we climb
As the water's pouring in
Like it always should have been
We can crawl or we can run
Towards the sun
Take it all, I'll keep the rest
Burn the wheels and pound your chest
In the days before the cold
All the houses oversold
It's an end to end the start
We're moving from the ground floor
Rising tide
Push us out more
How we climb
As the water's pouring in
Like it always should have been
We can crawl or we can run
Towards the sun
And although we just begun
We can go until we've won
We can crawl or we can run
Towards the sun

Refugees
Roads of gold are forever dulled
Taking stock of what you lost and what you want to take
Roads of time will be straight again
If we stop we can see ahead
The mountains desecrate
So as we caught ourselves astray
We floating on our own
Hoping to reach tomorrow
The ghosts of ours, we sent away
Like refugees no where to stay
On the carasell of fallen days
Like refugees no where to stay
Tried to cross at the quiet edge
Fell asleep at the shallow end
The hours turn to grey
I want to feel like you meant it
I want to think that we held it all
As the fever starts to take
So as we caught ourselves astray
We floating on our own
Hoping to reach tomorrow
The ghosts of ours, we sent away
Like refugees no where to stay
On the carasell of fallen days
Like refugees no where to stay
I put my thoughts through a metal sift
To sepereate my truth and illusion
And what I find I will forgive
Cause there aren't really any solutions
You said you felt so alive right at the summer's edge
This moment never resolves there is no end
These ghosts of ours we sent away
Like refugees no where to stay
On a carasell of fallen days
Like refugees, no where to stay
This road is unknown
We let go of these ghosts
This road is unknown
We let go of these ghosts
This road is unknown
We let go of these ghosts
This road is unknown
We let go of these ghosts

A Perfect End
There’s always time to start over again
‘Cause if we’re done with this, all of this
Let’s wash away everything that we’ve been
I know you’re done with this, all of this
It’s time to hit the ground
So let it fall
And watch it break into shards of light and gold
A perfect end
All eyes fixated on new dreams
Cascading
Yeah we got stuck in between
The act and just what we need
So rally up, gather round
It’s time to hit the ground
So let it fall
And watch it break into shards of light and gold
A perfect end
All eyes fixated on new dreams
Cascading
It all starts again
Cascading
Oh don’t wait
We’ll get it right this time
Oh don’t wait
We’ve all been up for days
So let it fall
And watch it break into shards of light and gold
A perfect end
All eyes fixated on new dreams
Cascading
It all starts again
Cascading

Friendly Apes
I'm losing you in lust
See it
Strangers sleeping in my bed,
it should have been you instead
All alone in the sweats with eyes I've never met
I've been losing pieces of your face
I'm losing you, I'm losing you in lust
Once distinct but how the memory fades
I'm losing you, I'm losing you in lust
It's just an option not to stay
Not a phase
It's just a chance you'll have to take
Not a phase
Strange to sleep in this bed
I wonder what the lines of the ceiling meant
Sign me up for a grant that's you or it's
I've been losing pieces of your face
I'm losing you, I'm losing you in lust
Once distinct but how the memory fades
I'm losing you in lust
It's just an option not to stay
Not a phase
It's just a chance you had to take
Not a phase
And now love isn't right
And now I'm fucking time
Not a phase
It's just a chance you had to take
Not a phase
We're all born as friendly apes
We're all born as friendly apes
We're all born as friendly apes
We're all born as friendly apes
*******************************
Friends With Enemies
Lies that imply the space
We will be friends with the enemies
Lost in your sense of taste
Did you know you were next to me
Labor days, wounded hearts
How we fake, how false we start
I'm stuck on this long island beach
We all making army for my enemies
A faint disarray of intention
And I'm a guest of your invention
What's the rest of this dance
Does the promise of this just ends
As we get what we can
Well there's too much within your head
Labor days, wounded hearts
How we fake, how false we start
I'm stuck on this long island beach
We all making army for my enemies
Cut the lost, cut the time
I don't ask, behind your eyes
Shadow bonds can make a friend
(How I nest?), the shadow games
Labor days, wounded hearts
How we fake, how false we start
I'm stuck on this long island beach
We all making army for my enemies
*******************************
Where I Belong
If I pretend like you forget
That it's not as real as real can get
Time can be bought if you regret enough
If this isn't all over just yet, our stuff
I hope the cracks open up and swallow me whole
Down and down in it I go
Right where I belong
I hope the cracks open up and swallow me whole
Down and down in it I go
Right where I belong
Right where I belong
I'm trying to mean what I can say
But it's only sound that disappates
Why all my actions lay in states
I try to hide them but they just won't go
I hope the cracks open up and swallow me whole
Down and down in it I go
Right where I belong
I hope the cracks open up and swallow me whole
Down and down in it I go
Right where I belong
Would I forgive me from above
I don't plan on giving up
I'm stuck here right where I belong
I hope the cracks open up and swallow me whole
Down and down in it I go
Right where I belong
I hope the cracks open up and swallow me whole
Down and down in it I go
Right where I belong
Right where I belong
time can't be bought if you regret enough
If this isn't all over just yet, our stuff
Right where I belong
Would i forgive me from above?
i don't plan on giving up
i'm stuck here right where I belong
Right where I belong

Balladino
If there was one then there's the rest
Those who belong and then the guests
We've been safe inside what once was the frontier
Take a moment to remember that you were here
Hold the remote control across the battle line below
Command to what you ought here
The mediator it's drawing close
We're losing heart but holding on
Soft is weakness
We're coming in low and way too fast
So there is one and there's the rest
We never lost but in duress
I wouldn't raise alarm just yet
All though we're hanging by a thread tied to what we might get
Hold the remote control across the battle line below
Command to what you ought here
The mediator it's drawing close
We're losing heart but holding on
Soft is weakness
We're coming in low and way too fast
Trust that we don't crush
We're coming in low and way too fast
I believe that there's light up ahead
I can see it through the words that you said
I believe that there is light up ahead
I can see it through the words that you said
Soft is weakness
We're coming in low and way too fast
I believe that there is light up ahead
We're coming in low and way too fast
I believe that there is light up ahead
We're coming in low and way too fast

The City We Grow
I've been thinking the same as you
We could try to build this place again
We could start with a motion
I know you can feel the emotion
Let's not act like we've got the time to waste
To thow into this game
We're not that far away
We walk the sun as we go
Into the city we grow
Become the love we sow
Into the city we grow
Now we're on the same paths
There's a reason to cross this great divide
We're driven by the emotion
I know you feel this emotion
Let's not act like we've got the time to waste
Throw in this game
We're not that far away
We walk the sun as we go
Into the city we grow
Become the love that we sow
Into this city we grow
We walk the sun as we go
Into the city we grow
Become the love that we sow
Into this city we grow
We walk the sun as we go
Into the city we grow
Become the love that we sow
Into this city we grow
Into this city we grow

Levitate
Put our time in a frame
And the ink on a page
You bridge the distance
And it's close as you stand
Give me hope without a plan
To bridge the distance
That you just levitate
Above it all like there's nothing to say
As I could only wait
For as long as you wanted to take
That you just levitated away
As the stones to sand
The island breaks from land
And becomes the distance
And pride is all I have
in time there's nothing built to last
You become the distance
Cause you just levitate
above it all like there's nothing to say
As I could only wait for as long as you wanted to take
Then you just levitated away
Cause you just levitate
above it all like there's nothing to say
As I could only wait for as long as you wanted to take
Then you just levitated away
Thoughts roll in slowly crashing down
As you're high on the traps and the hatches down
Thoughts roll in slowly crashing down
As you're high on the traps and the hatches down
