Circa Survive Blue Sky Noise Lyrics
1.Strange Terrain

We read the signs completely backwards
no one could see if we ended up
where we needed to be
to find out how it all works with
so many partners
so many artists and nobody wants to sit
behind the wheel, behind the wheel

Who's the one pounding the gears
avoiding the crowds
keeping their ear to the ground?
Oh I've made a mistake
I never learned how to get back to the place, ohhh

Where have all the signs gone?
I don't know where I am without them in our lives
Where have all the signs gone?
I don't know where I am without them in our lives

We made designs completely backwards
and nobody knows if we're even close
to where we need to go
to find out how it all works with
so many artists and nobody wants to sit
behind the wheel, behind the wheel

(Get your own map)

Who's the one pounding the gears
avoiding the crowds, keeping their ear to the ground?
Oh I've made a mistake
I never learned how to get back to the place
where all our confidence kept us behind a shield
Only light could get through
where all our confidence kept us behind a shield
Only light could get through

Where have all the signs gone?
I don't know where I am without them in our lives
Where have all the signs gone?
I don't know where I am without them in our lives


2.Get Out

I can't get started from the part
Where I left off yesterday
Shoulda spent my time a little wiser

I sat alone guilty as sin
Waiting for words to come
From out of my head
Still making sense to anyone

I can't wait to understand the reason
I've yet to translate any meaning besides
It's not worth it to try
Get out, get out

Lock myself up in a room without a window
Just to see if it was any easier to breathe (I was lost)
Never underestimate the daylight
There is so much easier to breathe

I can't wait to understand the reason
I've yet to translate any meaning besides
It's not worth it to try
Get out, get out
Get out, get out

There's no meaning besides
It's not worth it to try
Get out, get out
Get out, get out, get out


3.Glass Arrows

Stay as still as you think you should be
Your stolen memories will find you
in the last place you would think to look
All the time that it took to locate

Maybe it'll just pass by you
or rip right through your heart
Underneath the surface
we break apart

Disappeared from public places never seen again
How long has it been?
How long has it been?

Underneath the surface
None of us deserve this
Underneath the surface we break apart

Disappeared from public places never seen again
How long has it been?
How long has it been?

I don't want excuses
I don't want apologies

Disappeared from public places never seen again
How long has it been?
How long has it been?

Disappeared from public places never seen again
How long has it been?
How long has it been?


4.I Felt Free

Nothing new to say
Nothing to report 'cause the future happened yesterday

If I could tell the truth
I could make you stay
but forever seems so far away

I fell apart in your arms for the last time
And I felt free to do what I want
because of the things you told me,
because of the things you told me, you told me
I felt free

You could be the end of me
Too many shades of gray
It's just another pointless game that we play

I couldn't tell the truth
I'll never make you stay
because tomorrow always happens yesterday

I fell apart in your arms for the last time
And I felt free to do what I want
because of the things you told me
because of the things you told me, you told me
I felt free

I will learn to live again for now I'm breaking
all the things I couldn't mend without escaping
I will learn to love again
I will learn to love
I will learn

I fell apart in your arms for the last time
And I felt free to do what I want
because of the things you told me
I felt free


5.Imaginary Enemy

You're so careless, careless
How did you get so ungrateful?
You treat me like I'm a disease and it's been killing me
Chances are, you never even cared at all
I'm sure you had your reasons but I'll never get to hear
The truth disguised in all your alibis
It's a tradition practiced
Every time you say goodbye

I've tried so hard
to be what you needed
your imaginary enemy
I've tried for so long
to make you believe it
that I am not the enemy

Slipshod cavalier
I can't stand to see those things that
you have taken for granted
thrown away everything you've been handed
Too much all at once that's how you got so ungrateful
All you saw was the burden
standing beside all your blessed truths
disguised in all you alibis
It's a tradition practiced
every time you say goodbye

I've tried so hard
to be what you needed
your imaginary enemy
I've tried for so long
to make you believe it
that I am not the enemy
imaginary enemy

I've tried so hard
to be what you needed
your imaginary enemy
I've tried for so long
to make you believe it
that I am not the enemy
imaginary enemy


6.Through the Desert Alone

Sadly, I walk around this place on the shells of eggs
My shoulders are cold
I put it off for so long,
I put it off and know I've got to live with what I made
forever

What was stolen from us
now is forever lost
just because we'll never pay the ransom
What was taken from me
I will never regain just because
We'll never pay the ransom

I'll become like the desert wind
and I'll drink all the gin
Shriveled up under desert lights
eaten up in the night
I can't keep this up much longer without
needing more from you
I need more

Wasted with the rhythm
angry at the melody
How did you stay so sweet?

Cause you were my ally once
You were my confidante
I need somebody close
to be close to
forever

What was stolen from us
now is forever lost
just because we'll never pay the ransom
What was taken from me
I will never regain
just because we'll never pay the ransom
just because we'll never pay the ransom


7.Frozen Creek

Upon a pebble driveway
There sits a house
And it's the loneliest place
I haven't spend much time there
It wasn't alowed
It just didn't feel right

Cos it's all built upon a burial ground
It just doesn't feel right
It just doesn't feel right

On top the frozen creek
I would love to take you there
It's where it flows through me
On top the frozen creek

If I open both of my eyes
I still see an empty space
So empty
But if I keep them closed
Then there's still a chance
Something is out there

Cos it's all built upon a burial ground
It just doesn't feel right
It just doesn't feel right

On top the frozen creek
I would love to take you there
It's where it flows through me
On top the frozen creek

I made a promise to you long ago
I'd do the the best that I can
I'd try to keep it
I made a promise to you long ago
That I'd do anything to keep this home

On top the frozen creek
I would love to take you there
It's where it flows through me
On top the frozen creek

I would love to take you there
I would love to take you there
I would love to take you


8.Fever Dreams

Sinking into my awareness
realizing what's been done
I've taken a life and mine for granted
Neither planned or in passion
riddled with guilt and crazy panic
my body tells my mind to run
into the forest towards the mother
though I've destroyed her favorite son

All the things I should have done,
All the things I should have done

Execution style in the courtyard
where everyone awake can witness
the cowardly shot into the temple
all because I lost my temper
Burn the evidence, flee the scene
always keep those fingers clean
Devil eyes stare into mine
they say there is no place I can hide

Now I must compare the consequence
end my life or just confess
I won't last a minute in confinement
Either way I'm going to hell

All the things I should've done
All the things I should have done
Either way I'm going to hell
Either way I'm going to hell

All my life
passing
before my eyes
All the time
I was awake ...

You were alive and just arriving
I couldn't see your eyes
All that is love is ever lasting
I didn't realize
I was awake ...


9.Spirit of The Stairwell

Scratched out a note I wrote for you to wake and read
to know that I was there once
I knew that there was nothing
that I could write to assure you of my return

But all the paper said when I was done is
'do you still want me?'
because I'd be terrified if I had to leave this place today
We haven't saved the baby

As I said
my darling
spring is constantly calling me
and there's no place that I'd rather be

I won't be angry if you have to leave,
but I won't be waiting for that day
So don't say you're sorry
because I won't believe you

Didn't see a sticker on the door when we walked in
but I know it's going to cost us
the same amount of love it takes to get you through
but it never moves you

I'd be terrified if I had to leave this place today
It's where I threw my love away
Then we saw a different side of 'Annie' nobody saw
She tried to kill the baby

and the earth and its skin will open up
and birth out a perfect mirror
that makes all our reflections clear

I won't be angry if you have to leave,
but I won't be waiting for that day
So don't say you're sorry
because I won't believe you


10.The Longest Mile

You'll retire with some well deserved space
that you needed years ago
it's not the same as if you pushed it away
unescorted through the longest mile
now that it's over

I have some regrets
but I can just forget them

I must admit now going down within this ship
I couldn't have a better crew to travel with
If I make it in one piece back to land
I will never sail again
never !!!

Peace and quiet start to interrupt,
your life is not the same as you had hoped
Living up to all the things that you played down
If you don't get a hold of it, I wont be around
now that it's over

I've made mistakes
it's all I have to learn from

I must admit now going down within this ship
I couldn't have a better crew to travel with
If I make it in one piece back to land
I will never sail again
never !!!

Now that it's over ...

I can't help but think that
we're coming to the end
If that is the case then
I know we can't pretend
to never make a sound again
Never make a sound

I must admit now going down within this ship
I couldn't have a better crew to travel with
If I make it in one piece back to land
I will never sail again
never !!!


11.Compendium


12.Dyed in the Wool

It's so sad for us
When we find ourselves
Giving away
Giving away
And it's a shame for us
When we find ourselves
Going to waste
Going to waste
So throw away the love that we made.

(I know I know)
And nothing's going to change that hopeless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't

There's no reason to be here
We should pack up and leave
I have never felt that way before totally alone
There's no reason to leave
There's no reason to leave
I have never seen you act that way before
Totally exposed.
As you throw away the love that we made

(I know I know)
And nothing's going to change that hopeless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't

The longer it takes the more it goes to waste
I want to believe you but I can't feel a thing
The more that you get the less you are

And nothing's going to change that helpless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't

Get out, get out, get out

15.Dyed in the Wool (Acoustic)

It's so sad for us
When we find ourselves

Giving away
And it's a shame for us
When we find ourselves

Going to waste
So throw away the love that we made.

16.Every Way (Acoustic)

I will find a different way to say
Your gonna have to change everything you made
Your going to have to reword every metaphor you've used
So that people who are hearing are confused

If that's the most important thing you do
Detail every ounce of pain that you went through
Make sure you leave something down to show the way back
Make sure you leave something down to show the way back

Every way you wonder if you're wrong
Every way you wonder if you're wrong
Inaccurate and inprecise
There is no gift without a price

I'm so mistaken, lost my direction
My souls been shaken

I would find a different way to go
There's no signs in life to guide you on that road
And if its the most important thing you'll say
Make sure they understand

Every way you wonder if you're wrong
Every way you wonder if you're wrong
Inaccurate and inprecise
There is no gift without a price

I'm so mistaken, lost my direction
My souls been shaken

Every way you wonder if you're wrong
Every way you wonder if you're wrong
Inaccurate and inprecise
There is no gift without a price
