5MAN LYRICS

1. Bear The Weight

It was in our hands and all we had to do was give it life.
But betrayed plans cut us right back down to size.
It’s a crying shame and it’s yours and mine.
If it feels like a lie, before we’re used to wearing it lets bury our disguise.
It’s about time to get things straight or bear the weight of living in denial.
It’s a crying shame and it’s yours and mine.
We both know how this should go.
If you give it away (that’s right) that’s the price you pay.
It’s a crying shame and it’s yours and mine.
We both know how this should go.

2. Report To Eden

Around the board we move, shining in the sun.
Whether here or there it's the same name that parts the lips.
We are all faced with the broadest stroke so I move like you..the pawn, the hand.
And wonder why hearts don’t reach out. Still we try to tell you that this is the way.
Get ready to lie, steal, cheat.
This is our time.
Lie, steal, cheat and you know why.
They say it’s all for us so beneath the mighty wing we sleep wrapped in a dream.
Smooth like honey poured from noble rights of birth.
If they tell you this is the way then who are you to doubt?
Slow and sly, hegemony rights your way (it’s our way).
But in awhile we’ll show you that this is the way.
Look in the eyes of the ones that bear, for all, the weight of light.

3. Some Substitutions Should Never Be Made

Faceball junkie makes all the rules to the game again.
Taste’s gone, bland doll. Whatever happened to innocence?
I’ll have my pain right now instead.
I can’t sleep with all of this hate that lies in bed. Can’t we just
KISS MY FACE. LICK AND SHOVE.
What do you think you know about love?
I’m curious what you think you know about love.
Abel kingdom is waiting for the day that they’re going home.
‘Till then come sit, my pet. Candy Cain for sour girls and sour boys.
All of the games in which we find ourselves have become so undivine..as are we.
KISS MY FACE. LICK AND SHOVE. YOU ARE MINE. THIS IS LOVE.
What do you think you know about love?
I’m curious what you think you know about love

4. Student Driver

Rise.
I’m everything I am and everything I have been brings me here to stand against you.
I bled my heart, these sleeves stained red.
I don’t think it matters anymore.
I have made my own decision…you should leave this alone.
You say you want the best, but in whose best interest?
I don’t want conflict. I made my choice.
I walked away from who I was, and it brought me further from you.
I have made my own decision…you should leave this alone.
Leave it alone.
As you admire what you’re trying to do…hanging ‘said’ beautiful pictures in sullen rooms.
As if your hand can shelter me from the night.
A shadow’s a shadow, but in yours resent hides.
And she blooms, shifting foundation core, shifting the poles, bringing life…the newest we’ve ever known.
Blow out the candle, the vigil ends, the splinters mend.
Look in the face of a dear dead friend.
I will be raised up and I’m not looking to oppression for a cause.
I read the braille of your unwritten laws, breathe in the exhale of all things lost so I can see myself without the tint of your vision.
Bad architects’ fetish throbs for collision.
And in the wake of disasters so small you could walk by them and not notice at all, the ripples will inherit the earth.
Rise
I have made my own decision…you should leave this alone.
Leave it alone.

5. Ultimate Actor

So perceived as ‘outside of the now’… punching clocks and feeding the sorrow.
Life is gone…NO, life is ON.
We’re hinging our movement on digital waves.
“I will buy what you’re selling as long as you promise to make me attractive again.”
Religion is so inconveniently strict…we’re hinging our morals on digital waves.
Today I am lost on an island…
This afternoon I will heal the sick…
Tonight I will walk as an idol… death in the sands with no blood on my hands.
There are lives in my T.V. set.
I take them and make them my own…never leaving, never bleeding… the manifestation of bodies of stone.
Deep down I fear the side of the window that you call home.
Though this pane I can touch you again.
Through this pane I can nurture a soul.
This is the best I can do (mantras are made to be true)
I feel I’m finally home.
Judge not while I judge you.
Selecting a vessel through which I’m growing whole.
I survive another night of Ménage à Trois and perilous fights and all I ever wanted was that life.
I sit and dream my life through a silver screen.
Reflections aren’t the same as ‘reflecting’ which bodes well for the part of me that’s raining down judgment…the co-host to apocalypse.
Everybody shake your hips, everybody lick your lips.
I’ve got salvation on queue, it’s the latest.
When I fall down I’m back on top of the world in 30 minute segments.
Lights so bright so you can’t see, but if the night is dark enough I promise
I’ll make you believe.
