THREE MILE PILOT LYRICS - ANOTHER DESERT, ANOTHER SEA

way of the ocean

they slept for 12 hours across from the burning sea - the night will never let them go - way it's the way
of the ocean - way there's no way through the ocean - they reached for the same ladder and fell into the
waves that brought them there on the sea of red - I'd better stick to your advice - I'm only asking that you
hold the reins - on day one the wind stole their map - by day four we had bought a sword from the sky
can't see six feet - summer heat - can't breathe - I'm going west whether land or sea - by day nine no
land in sight and for years there's still no light and I'm going west whether land or sea - way when there's a
way through the ocean - I'll be living on an island by myself - I'll be surrounded by all my failed attempts of
escape - I'm just waiting for the ocean to freeze up on me - there's no way through the ocean


if you cross

curiosity calls the siren that turns you back again - these forces are not easy on you - they say focus and
choose - don't look don't watch too close - you might see what you want to find - and it ain't the answer to
what you had in mind - nowhere you go - nowhere to go - nowhere you go - this is what I sell - it's too
much he said I'm too far in debt - I need a clear way to be weaned of you - it's an unsteady leaf you cross
- there's still unseen cold sorrow and griief - there's nothing to show - this is what I took fortitude to wean
me off you - though I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen - don't rely on me to follow you down - I fill my
hands - I fill myself - I need an end to the siren


the year of no light

I stopped believing what's inside of me - I was set on taking everything and making waves destroying the
day - the world around went dark I saw it disappear as the colors turned gray - oh oh oh oh - I'll play the
devil - you can be the light - you can save me from the sea - where I'll be the devil - you can play the light -
they took the best of us and sent it on - now we search to fill that void - the world around was dark I
saw the light appear just as I turned my head - the waves --- the waves -- can you stand the waves -
cause you know I'll be gone so long - I've been living with your devil too long and I've been living with these
eyes closed - the world around was dark I saw - I was floating in the salt and sun for a year - starting to
fade I felt you pull me aboard - I opened my eyes to see the world I'd left behind - and it became so clear


bolivia

Bolivia's burning down tonight - down by the cove it's the way you called them over the cliff - step from the
fort we'll be there - down by the tollway you tried to call me away when I've seen what it means to them -
you can say you warned them to stay down tonight - but I can't wait - are you down for the ride or will you
crawl back before they die - sympathy is tied to the ground - cause sympathy now is not what they need --
whether rise or fall -- remain - Bolivia's burning it's burning down tonight -- (in memory of Ernesto Che Guevara) --


kill the race horse

he swam for 28 days and 12 nights of rain - you sent me your fear on a thousand waves - and if I could
walk (my legs) - can't you see them burning over and over - and this ain't no tragedy (travesty) - across the
land of broken hearts - (from) what you're caught in between - forever always - and is this what you came
home for did it satisfy the quest - cause in the end no one loses no one wins - the horse is old the horse
is tired but are you with him - he swam for 28 days and 12 nights of rain - intrepid saviors they lie still at
the end - and is this what we came home for did it satisfy the quest


eastern wave

this is for the days that I fear - this is for the way my legs fold - this is for the days that I feel too
close to my home - from that start it's easy to say they want it all but they won't change and still they remain
chained I've seen the dead walk - and miles away our plans to be replaced seem so clear and they remain fastened
and chained to this anthem and to that view - at least I'm brave - on an eastern wave - through the western
grave - I could sift through what's left - keep it fresh to let it sting - and just when you thought to leave
this crass season fell - it's a legend of fire and pain - where then were sharp teeth - I can't imagine all the
things you say you've seen - with too many eyes on the door - there's too many hands in the jar - and miles
away our plans to be replaced seem so clear and they remain fastened and chained to that view - I've seen
the dead walk


ruin

don't slide away if you want it - you can taste it on your tongue and you know it - but all things aside you're
losing control of your mind if you let it - you listen but what do you hear - you look but you cannot see -
don't avoid the sign that it's coming - cause you can feel it in the air and you know it - we can taste it in
the water and it's moving - all around the world and we're just waiting - but nothing you say that could make
me feel why I shouldn't ruin you ya I oughta ruin you - you believe but there's nowhere to stand - you feel
but that it's too late - don't slide away - you know they want you to go so far their way


mending king

they said they'd pay for an even decay - across the landslide of our sacred crest - even though they're alive
there's no time for the mending king - is this painful how luxuries slip and if this is forgiveness they're sure
to dilute the scent - given time to seal - where they've gone a dry lake remains - and here the sky cast no truth
but that that is ours - even summer would be better than this - for the mending king - but I keep up hope for a
better reason - I left it there for you to dismantle - when born in fleets the ladder leans - given time to seal
(it will reflect us all) - and here the sky cast no truth but that that is ours


city of bones

city of bones - city in ruins - the village labyrinth - it'll take you there - like china in the water - and still
attached to the sea - like china in the water - city of bones - keep the censor on - sweep the village clean
- it'll take you there - this one so coy -- they're void of seam - they'll find a storm for every one - this is
the last of the fog - the swarm of bees that surround your fasting heart the last of the echoed streets
- the standing back - the last of the emptty lots to face these great plans - to leave home - I am the last
to know - away from the burning towers - and where are you


south (the opera circle south)

amongst the ghosts there is a secret to life - over buildings they brought to you their souls of the dead -
could volcanos lie so still - I could never replace you - no matter how many times I kill you - you find these
ways to live through the end - all of them pushed to the side - in the sands - I was cut from that seed -
that's why I am blind - and I'm not saving for that day and I don't care who reigns - in my grave I'm showered
by these things you cover - in my grave the shadows pin two houses wide - it's overwhelming how they want
it all back - the devil's always red - do you see - from a city inside the earth as outside volcanos cry my
brother I must kill - now I see - to win the game - on a sure foot - all of them - in the sands - and I
was cut from that seed - that's why I am blind - and I'm not saving for that day - and I don't care when it
rains - the southern fever calls to the opera circle south


glitter wave

red sea - red tide - black liver - glitter wave - I'm on the glitter wave - it's not for me
black channel - silver dreams - white will freeze as red needs to believe - realize up on the cold front -
from a dead spring now a lava sheet - swarm school deliver - I'll stay where time stands and channel relief
- are we all aware of what we see inside?<


longest day

she said I'm the one who painted out the stars in the sky - they say it's all the same a spring to drink of or
bounce back from - they say I don't believe in no one but I just don't think they understand - cause it's the
right time to leave - as this becomes the longest day that I know - and it's the right time to fall - I must
be leaving on this day - on the same train that brought me here and if I was to say all's been great well
I think you'd know the truth - cause it's so hard to leave - as this becomes the longest day that I know -
it's when all things must close - you gave all these things and you made all of them ----- vanish away ---
you made all these things and you gave all of them to -- vanish away ---


one false eye

I feel ashamed to show no grace - I feel all sides cave in on me - I wait my turn - I wage no war - through
the crowd he walks with nowhere to go and there's nothing there to show with one false eye - forcing him
to miss - and in the end what will he see - with one false eye - on beyond the pitch of night he walks till
something new starts - when free to fall I am no more - when I feel the descent start in on me - I'll
wait my turn - then wage my war - on a ship through the snow he will go and when he loses sight one day
he will return just a little taller - with one false eye - and in the end will he see that things are not what
they seem - one false eye -forcing him to miss - for seconds in the day one false eye - one false move -
one day he will return
