Lyrics:
Well, I might have to diffuse this one.
Call the listeners but they don't speak the same tongue.
Send me away. You laugh and scoff and spit out false intellect.
Guess I'll let you have your way this once for the greater goal of us.
Sometimes it's better to let them win to escape the mess.
Just let it go, you already know my faith now is swayed.
Can trust be remade?
This silent fight is worse than a scuffle.
The same violent night and we both share the struggle.
Amiss, dismissed.
You might be right so take your own advice, just let it go, you already know.
Don't write about love, no more cliches!
No more delays. Glass-wristed grasp of my surroundings and dizzily shuffling forward;
that's where I'm found, pulled to the sky from the ground and spun round
in an aerial court of my peers and stripped down to only skin, bones and tears.
And the ever-chugging monolith, my inner voice, is inviting me to stay here for years.
I'm wired weird, I've grown wrong.
And sing the same damn songs to the ever-nodding audience, until my body is gone.
Quiet your open thoughts and turn the other way to make grimacing actions.
And if it's not possible, okay. Just stay that way.
Just let it go, you already know my faith now is swayed.
Can trust be remade? This silent fight is worse than a scuffle.
The same violent night and we both share the struggle.
Amiss, dismissed.
You might be right so take your own advice,

just let it go, you already know.
Like frantically rifling through all of your keys.
There's no wind behind you but something's moving the leaves.
This place is familiar.
You used to call it your own.
Now there's nobody home.
No, there's nobody home.
Once a room is empty it has no need for a name
or title and when a glass is empty someone fills it up or puts it away.
But when the glass broke, the room spoke in dangerous tones,
"If it's broken just leave it alone!"
We have to go! We have to go!
Let the passenger take hold, let the stranger drive you home.
We have to go! We have to go!
May this song fill up a hole.
May the room with no purpose forever be closed.
Although we left in a panic,
I took a look back at the house,
saw it turn on its axis and vanish.
The dust enveloped the sky, the splinters fell to the earth,
swam deep in the soil and came back to life.
It survived! It survived! It survived.

it saddens me knowing that only a small amount of people have heard this masterpiece

[michaelbeaudo]

I always get close to tearing up whenever cory says "we have to go" because every time i listen to this album i feel like im going on a journey and its so sad when it ends.This is probably the most emotional album ive ever listened to.

[salikhan]

I remember when Kurt signed my shoe back in his DGD days. Awesome moment

[Afromentioned]

Teared up in the library. Ppl looking at me crazy. They'll never understand. RIP Birds

[Pierorocks]

I have literally lost count of how many times I have listened to this album. Pure poetry, meaningful lyrics, great musicianship, and it all comes together perfectly.

[tman]

this bands give me the most chills. like, it's insane. 

[mikes]

God damn, this is deep!  I got this CD a week ago, I've been crying for 7 days straight.  I only have one wish in life, that's to come back reincarnated as Kurt Travis's notebook.

[devinblair]

I swear, I listen to this song at least 7 times a day

[williamwallace]

This is what real music really is. After hearing so many bands these days its so great to hear something so original and so powerful as ALLB

[artisdead]

4:22 through 5:23 is the best part. Been repeating this for days.

[SkatasticBam]

This song, nay this album, has filled a hole

[elask]

Although I'm late I still want to say this song is an absolute master piece

[decemberonthedate]

these dudes are one of the main torch holders keeping experimental post hardcore alive! THIS SHIT WILL NEVER DIE!!

[abc_chillmix]

I come back to this song for many years now and it always makes me tear up. Masterpiece.

[barnicoleboy]

Wow. I am so moved by this entire album. I don't want it to be finished here. It's almost like I want it to be eternal. It's stunningly put together, and has caused me to cry many times. Incredibly inspiring <3

[xoskele]

3:22 - 4:22 needs a place in musical history. I can't even describe the feeling, but its incredible.

[betaqwest]

Every time i listen to this song, i am reminded of a world that used to be... and how much more empty it feels without these men coming together to give us such beautiful music. Divisi was great, but nothing tops no place

[khfan]

This song is beautiful.
This band is life.
<3

[JohnSmith-thlx]

Listening to this song at 3 am and mildly drunk feels like insanity... It's so beautiful and painful, making you think of so many things in your life, past, evaporated things, mostly, and it's making you have a love-hate relationship with who you were back then...

[WonderinWonderer]

Hope everyone hears & listens to this album.
