01) Breakerfall
Ah.
There's a girl on a ledge who's got nowhere to turn.
Break her fall. Yeah, only love can break her fall. Fall.
It's like she lost her invitation to the party on earth and she's standing outside hating everyone here.
Break her fall. Only love can break her fall. Yeah.
Yeah fall. The world is her fall. Break her fall.
It's out of my hands making your hands meet.
Designate my luck. Uh resignate.
This power has no roots to guide. No role.
Designate my will.
My will is crashing. Synapses flashing slow.
Roll them high. Throw them again. All god's dice.
Monkey driven. Call this living? Ha.
Ah, designate my life.
The sirens scream wanton attention.
Evacuation. Evacuation.
Time to take leave all formal functions.
It's like your waiting for a diamond shore to wash your way.
Time for evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation.
There was a solemn man. Watched his twilight disappear. In the sand.
Evacuation...
I've used hammers made out of wood.
And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go.
With heavy breath awakened regrets.
And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go.
And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go.
Don't feel like home. He's a little out.
It's nothing as it seems. The little that he needs. It's home.
One uninvited chromosome. A blanket like the ozone.
It's nothing as it seems. All that he needs. It's home.
Saving up a sunny day. Something maybe two tone.
It's nothing as it seems. The little that he needs. It's home.
There's a light, when my baby's in my arms.
Byzantine is reflected in our pond.
It's not in my past to presume.
Take it on, on, on, on, on.
There's a light when my baby's in my arms.
All in all it's no one's fault. Excuses turn to carbon walls.
The full moon is dead skin. The one down here's wearing thin.
Bombs dropping down overhead. On the ground.
"Turn the jukebox up," he said. Dancing in irreverence.
The plates began to shift. Perfect lefts come rolling in.
Bombs dropping down overhead. Underground.
Feel like resonance of distance. In the blood the iron lies.
It's instilled to want to live.
Oh he deals them off of the top. Ties them off.
Oh he left it alone drilled the pain with money to buy.
How he makes his getaway. How he makes his getaway.
Oh he chose a path. Heavy the fall. Quarter to four.
How he makes his getaway. How he makes his getaway.
Have a drink they're buying.
Big guy. Big eye watching me.
Pull the innocent from a crowd.
For every tool they lend us a loss of independence.
I pledge my grievance to the flag.
Progress taste it invest it all.
Break the innocent when they're proud.
Pledge your grievance to the flag.
Have a, have a drink, drink. Have a, have a drink, drink.
I want to breathe part of the scene.
(dog playing tug-of-war)
All my rivals will see what I have in store. My gun.
You're disciples are riddled with metaphors. Well hung.
??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???.
How's our mother to damn these contributors. With mud.
Routine was the theme. He'd wake up wash and pour himself into uniform.
He was okay but wondering about wandering.
Mondays were made to fall. Lost on a road he knew by heart.
On a line of his own. Off the line of the side. Bye the by.
When he reached the shore of his clip on world he resurfaced to the norm.
A time to dream to himself. He waves goodbye to his self.
Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette.
That's one more time around. The sun is going down.
Counts his money every morning. The only thing that keeps him horny.
Sorry is the fool who trades his love for hi-rise rent.
That's one more time around and there is not a sound.
Behind her eyes there's curtains and they've been closed to hide the flames. Remains.
Standing like a statue. A chin of stone a heart of clay. Hey.
Drifting away. Drifting away. Drifting away. Away. Away.
(typewriter keys: "Writers Block")
Time: 2:19
Vedder
Cause all the love that she had was just wood that she burned.
Now her life is on fire it's no ones concern.
She can blame the world or prey till dawn.
But only love can break her fall.
Yeah, she's her own disease, crying to her doll.
But only love can break her fall.
Love, love, love can break her fall. Who?
Now only love can break her fall.
Love, love, love can break her fall. Fall.
Love, love can break her fall.
Only love can break her.
02) God's Dice
Time: 2:26
Ament
????? rises crumbling out of reach.
It's in the cards of destiny your sanity in tow.
Trust me. Rusted minds refuse to go.
Unwillingness is meaningless to walk away in vain.
Ah, designate my fill.
Ah resignate.
Ah, days like frame by frame. Where do they go?
Ah yeah, why fight? Forget it. Cannot spend it after I go.
Ah, too much thought it's overwrought a hole.
Yeah, minding yours what's mine not yours.
Will finish us off.
Ah, designate my view.
Ah, resignate my will, my will, my will, I will.
Resignate my god.
03) Evacuation
Time: 2:56
Vedder, Cameron
Time to take heed and change direction.
Time to take stock and make omissions.
Time to plant seeds of a reconstruction.
No time this time to feign reluctance.
Bets put aside you're evil. Lets crawl into your face.
A vision vague or not raising a frightful wake you up.
Evacuation. Evacuation.
Altered by a falling eagle. A warning sign. Sign.
He sensed that worry could be strength with a plan he said, "Time for evacuation."
04) Light Years
Time: 5:06
Vedder, McCready, Gossard
I have played games with pieces and rules.
I undeciphered tricks at the bar, but now you're gone.
I haven't figured out why.
I've come up with riddles and jokes about war.
I figured out numbers and what they're for.
I've understood feelings and I've understood words but how could you be taken away?
It don't seem fair. Today just disappeared.
Your light reflected now. Reflected from afar.
We were but stones. Your light made of stars.
Back pages and days that could have been spent together but we were miles apart.
Every inch between us becomes light years now.
No time to be void or save up on life.
Oh, you got to spend it all.
It don't seem fair. You seam to like it here.
Your light reflected now. Reflected from afar.
We were but stones. Your light made of stars.
It don't seem fair. Today just disappeared.
Your lights reflected now. Reflected from afar.
We were by stones. Your light made of stars.
05) Nothing As It Seems
Time: 5:27
Ament
And all these words elope. It's nothing like your poem.
Putting in. Inputting in. Don't feel like methadone.
A scratching voice all alone it's nothing like your baritone.
The little that he sees. Is nothing he concedes. It's home.
The little that he frees is nothing he believes.
Anything of his own. A chip off the corner stone.
Who's kidding? Rainy day. A one way ticket headstone.
Occupations overthrown. A whisper through a megaphone.
The little that he sees is nothing he concedes. It's home.
And all that he frees. A little bittersweet. It's home.
It's nothing as it seems. The little that you see it's home.
06) Thin Air
Time: 3:32
Gossard
There's a light, when the window shades are drawn.
Hesitate when I feel I may do harm to her.
Wash it off cause this feeling we can share.
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
There's a cloud, but the water remains calm.
Reaching in the suns fingers clutch the dawn to pass.
Even out, it's a precious thing to bear.
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
Yes I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
Love can keep on moving in both directions.
How to be happy and true is quest we're taking on together.
Take it on, on, on, on, on.
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
Yes I know she's reached my heart.
07) Insignificance
Time: 4:28
Vedder
Blame it all on chemical intercourse.
The swallowed seeds of arrogance breeding in the thoughts of ten-thousand fools that fight irrelevance.
So set up the ten pins as the human tide rolls in.
Like a ball that's spinning.
It's instilled to want to live.
Bombs dropping down. Please forgive our hometown in our insignificance.
Play C-3. Let the song protest.
I was alone and far away, hey. When I heard the band start playing.
On the lip they take off.
It's instilled to want to live.
Bombs dropping down. Please forgive our hometown in our insignificance.
Bombs dropping down. Please forgive our hometown in our insignificance.
Oh, in our insignificance, oh.
08) Of The Girl
Time: 5:07
Gossard
Fills it up with his past. Gets carried away.
Oh half his life a hand me down wasted away.
Oh he fills it up with the love of a girl.
Fills his night with the thought of a girl.
How he makes his getaway. Get away.
09) Grievance
Time: 3:14
Vedder
Bottom of bottle of denial.
Have to wonder what it sees. ???.
Progress laced with ramifications.
Freedom's big blur. Oh.
Raise those sticks them bring them down.
If they fail to obey.
Ah, if they fail to obey. Yeah yeah.
Cause you don't give blood then take it back again.
Oh we're all deserving something more.
Champagne breakfast for everyone. Everyone.
Raise those stakes then bring them down.
If they fail to obey.
Yeah, ha, if they fail to obey.
Cause, don't give blood then take it back again.
Oh, we're all deserving something more.
I want to taste everyone I see.
I want to run when I'm up high.
I want to run to the sea.
I want to life to be.
I just want to be.
I will feel alive as long as I am free.
10) Rival
Time: 3:38
Gossard
I've been harboring fleets in this reservoir. Red sun.
And this nations' about to explode.
Better pony up and bring both your barrels full. Not one.
As we release this unspeakable toll. Woh.
??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???.
How will the man who made chemicals difficult. Shed blood.
How's our father supposed to be told.
I don't. Woh.
11) Sleight Of Hand
Time: 4:47
Vedder, Ament
Something he hadn't imagined being.
As the merging traffic passed he found himself staring down at his own hands.
Not remembering the change. Not recalling the plan. Was it?
Was it age by consequence or was he moved by sleight of hand?
It was like a book he read in his sleep. Endlessly.
Sometimes he hid in the radio watching other pull into their homes.
While he was drifting.
As dirt turned to sand. As if moved by sleight of hand.
Organized his few things. His coat and keys.
And he knew realizations would have to wait.
Till he had more time. More time.
I'll see you on the other side.
Another man moved by slight of hand.
12) Soon Forget
Time: 1:46
Vedder
Thinks he'll get the girl he'll only get the mechanic.
What's missing? He's living a day he'll soon forget.
The moon is out but he's drunk and shouting.
Putting people down. He's pissing. He's living a day he'll soon forget.
Locked in a giant house that's alarming.
The townsfolk they all laugh.
Seem the more you make equals the loneliness you get.
And it's fitting. He's barley living a day he'll soon forget.
He's lying dead clutching Benjamins. Never put the money down.
He's stiffening. We're all whistling a man we'll soon forget.
13) Parting Ways
Time: 7:17
Vedder
She know their futures burning but she can smile just the same. Same.
And though her mood is fine today there's a fear they'll soon be parting ways.
And thought he's too big a man to say there's a fear they'll soon be parting ways.
Drifting away. Drifting away. Drifting away. Away. Away.
