This is the Inland Empire calling Feelings only allowed This is the Inland Empire calling Feelings only allowed The empire strictly forbids you from sleeping All night drinking prescribed But now I'm driving by But now I'm driving by This is the Inland Empire speaking Have you made up your mind? Is this some kind of a cruel joke? Where did they get those scythes? Come right in sit right down Walk the streets in the night Inland night Nothing to see here now Come back later when you decide When you see tide But now I'm driving by But now I'm driving by

Think It Out 04:07
Have to think it out before speaking Sill I don't say what I'm thinking Cold and real is what you are preaching My body's rid of these stitches You're wrong on that Account, is all Oh no I've run All out, all out Have to think it out before speaking Aaaa aaaa I'm just gonna shout without blinking Aaaa aaaa Have to think it out before speaking Still I don't know I don't know yeah I realise you're the pretense And I'm the one you've been seeking In my throat's a stone that is creaking I don't know what I was eating My problems are ones for keeping But not unlike all those creeping They are under My house, my mind Oh no I know I was, I'm not Have to think it out before speaking Aaaa aaaa I'm just gonna shout without blinking Aaaa aaaa Have to sketch it out before painting Aaaa aaaa Fill in all these lines, no mistakes here Aaaa aaaa

Foul my mood Gone for good The sense that I'll, I'll be seen, probably I just know, that is not happening Punch the truth On the moon Yeah I know, I'll just leave it alone Ask me twice still I'll stay right at home Mornings are weird for me Sometimes I'm missing my mind Stories keep happening And reappearing at night Just include One or two clues Make it fun, make it smart, real thought out Left behind, never heard, it's a start Trust the new New is blue Just this time, do the thing that you want Close your eyes, and your ears, yeah real smart Mornings are weird for me Sometimes I'm missing my mind Stories keep happening And reappearing at night Boring as it may seem I like to watch you be fine Evenings they seem to be Small bubbles stuck in our time Punch the moon With the truth Here they come, singing of the red empire The knights they ride bringing greed, bringing fire

Fancy Gun 04:12
Fancy gun yeah nasty gun Broken fool a nasty gun Treason have my days become Broken fool a fancy gun More and more is said not done Broken fools and nasty guns Fight them with the scorching sun What will our days become? Sometimes I go on and off With my life I don't mind Following what you say Closely But tonight I wasn't myself I swear Hunt me down I know you must Waving 'round that fancy gun A broken track, in god we trust Make it up the day is lost Finally the bell is rung Muddy is the fancy gun Push it down Muddy is the nasty gun And I'm Scared of mountains down Way down there They don't care Kings are well aware Watching And I Saw the sea only once In my life I don't mind I remember the smell Again Again I remember the smell

Missing Link 03:47
I will stay Out of sight Out of mind I want you to stand With me there In the fire With you there It's not so bad Not so dire We'll prevail Anyway Anyhow We know how So soon back next to you Is there soon when it's you? So soon back next to you Is there soon when it's you? So soon back next to you Is there soon when it's you? So soon back next to you Is there soon when it's you?

Hero 04:27
Simple makeshift living Information living I never had a goal Never really had that much control Pity isn't giving? Is this worth reliving? Does it have a soul? Never really had that much control Mangonels on walls Charred remains befall on us Seeing as if whole Never really had that much control Seeing as if whole Freeing as if whole Dying for forgiveness Are the forests missing? Never hurt a soul Never really had that much control Make another window Bar the exits hero Are you getting bored? Isn't really what you've bargained for? I am so prepared to hear you telling lies To hear you telling lies Tell em far tell em far and wide I am so prepared to hear you telling lies To hear you telling lies (Bar the exits hero) Telling lies I must go Under the sun Over the mountains Either one I must go Over the sun Eagles rising Being one Either one Simple makeshift living Information living Make another window Bar the exits hero Dying for forgiveness Are the forests missing? Pity isn't giving? Is this worth reliving? I must go Under the sun Over the mountains Either one I must go Over the sun Eagles rising Being one Being one Either one Being one

Far away, I must sail alone All the way, far away Honestly, if I lose my way Send the fray, and a blue jay Foolish like a train wreck Foolish on the rails Soothe this, like the wolfsbane Soothe this no more pain You've already thought of that yeah Already thought of that Already thought of that by now Far away, I must sail alone All the way, far away Honestly, if I lose my way Send the fray, and a blue jay Punished with the boat deck Punished on the rain Are we really out that far man? We really out that far? Already past the last red flag I really fear for us now Oh really, motion-sick The sea makes my hair stand up Far away, I must sail alone All the way, far away Honestly, I would rather die Then let them stay, make them pay

Shadow of doubt Shadow of doubt in my head There's a shadow of doubt Shadow of doubt about it That the knights of yore Will come for more And revolving doors Won't stop for sure Shadow of doubt Shadow of doubt in my head There's a shadow of doubt Shadow of doubt where I am And the knights of yore Will come for more The greed they see They bleed for more Shadow of doubt in my head Shadow of doubt in my head Shadow of doubt about it Shadow of doubt in my head Shadow and drought Shadow and drought in my land And the empire calls The empire calling my name And the knights of yore They took with gore Fevering And left alone Emptiness is on the rise Where will you go all alone? Doubt and drought and empires call Stepping on the stepping-stones Emptiness is filling up Emotions left unchecked unfold Inland way's a mystery They write the days of history, yeah Shadow of doubt in my head Shadow of doubt in my head Shadow of doubt about it Shadow of doubt in my head

The Siege 04:22
One from before Emerges for This exit song And he knows And he knows He'll get to shore One and no more Stays on shore He knows the score Go on forth Grab you swords And attack the fort I'm unsure Of our lord Is he with us towards Fire-balls Travel north End of the inland foe Just a fight It won't hurt Over in a Single flute But the ruse Is the fuse Kept it short but Ran out, true Simple lives Riding high Falling low like A man might A man might

Missed You 03:28
Monday Where'd you go last time? Missed you Maybe try to not go Missteps As I try to climb My mind Free me when I reach my mile Friday Where'd you go last time? Missed you Maybe try to not go Passion Is a different tune Misplaced words I try to find them in you Sunday Where'd you go last time? Missed you Maybe try to not go Was there, Something to desire? If not Maybe pick the other path Monday Where'd you go last time? Missed you Maybe try to not go
