    Lyrics with repeats and sing-scream part:
    Can you see what's following you
    It has a mind of its own
    Steps so quiet you can't hear it
    A parasite without a home
    It's got a smile but you don't trust it
    Concrete reasons unknown
    Put it behind you in the space of your day
    A parasite without a home
    Can you see what's following you
    It has a mind of its own
    Steps so quiet you can't hear it
    A parasite without a home
    Leave her to sing her withered songs
    In tunnels painted like the dawn
    Bring me the echo 'til it's gone
    Nothing escapes this hold
    Desperate against the cold
    Its flesh made out of stardust
    Iron oxide into rust
    To write a letter to the night
    This songless, sightless, silent giant
    This feeble plea
    A speck of dust
    A drop of sea
    It's locked in you and me
    Rip it out and feel its heat
    Forget the way things seem to be
    Meaningless to the one and only
    Leave her to sing her withered songs
    In tunnels painted like the dawn
    Bring me the echo 'til it's gone
    Nothing escapes this hold
    Desperate against the cold
    Its flesh made out of stardust
    Iron oxide into rust
    It's got a smile but you don't trust it
    Concrete reasons unknown
    Put it behind you in the space of your day
    A parasite without a home
    And she'll be standing strong
    Her hair is lost in storm
    Open your mouth, let air rush in
    To get a sense of her form
    And she'll be standing strong
    Her hair is lost in storm
    Open your mouth, let air rush in
    To get a sense of her form
    She'll be standing while you suffer
    Her hair is lost in the storm
    Open your mouth, let air rush in
    To get a sense of her form
    But if the audience is imminent
    And if your parasites come home
    Remember the old adage
    Deep roots are not reached by frost
    Leave her to her withered song
    Tunnels painted like the dawn
    Write your letter to the night
    Sightless, songless, silent giant
    Leave her to her withered song
    Tunnels painted like the dawn
    Write your letter to the night
    Sightless, songless, silent giant

      Jesse Lapham I agree, at least that it doesn't work with CoL. I'm actually dumfounded that this album was so well recieved. It seems to me that it flies in the face of all the advancements the band made to be unique. The instruments weren't really all that special either
