A Subtle Dagger (01:48)
Thrice • The Illusion of Safety
it infiltrates,
insidious,
it feigns at love,
betrays our trust
in what we've known,
since we were born.
the truth we've found in all we see

points to design,
still our chests swell,
we'll never find
true answers from a wishing well.

so feed us all
another lie,
to still our thoughts,
appease our pride,
so we wont have
to change the way we see, we live, we love, we die,

our lust precede
our blasphemy,
our logic reads
like notes from tainted autopsy.

(solo by Teppei)

our souls they speak of something more,
but we cant look beyond ourselves.
we implore empty skies because
our hearts hold room for no one else,

we extend our
claws to grasp at shadows of the
ideals we have,
lost causalities of a subtle dagger,
buried to the
hilt in our hearts, blood on our hands.

See You in the Shallows (02:35)
Thrice • The Illusion of Safety
i hear the waves crash far below,
the rocks are leaping for the sky,
they're starving for the air,
for a bone to break , a dream to smash apart,
but i don't care.

it looks deep enough from here, I'm diving
this cliff has been well worn by ignorance.
it looks deep enough from here, I'm diving
they float face down they all look so content.

i don't know why I'm even here.
guess I'm afraid to be alone.
and down below i see my crew they look okay
that cant be blood the water here
is far too blue

and gravity
seems far away
but i can hear her call my name
its so comforting to know ill never have to think again

it looks deep enough from here, I'm diving
this cliff has been well worn by ignorance.
it looks deep enough from here, I'm diving
we float face down, and don't we look content?
it looks deep enough from here, I'm diving
this cliff has been well worn by ignorance.
it looks deep enough from here, I'm diving
we float face down, and don't we all look so content?
it looks deep enough from here
it looks deep enough from here

Betrayal Is a Symptom (02:49)
Thrice • The Illusion of Safety
faith,
is not something that i grasp
its something that i fake,
as I'm slipping, as I'm falling through the cracks,
faith
without actions is a mask,
for making the same mistakes
as I'm slipping as I'm falling through the cracks.

somehow i find beauty in our failings,
somehow i find meaning in these lies
somehow I'm made perfect in this fracture,
your back is begging sweetly for my knives,

I'm spilling blood,
glancing down to hide my face,
i walk with eyes closed tight through monuments of grace,

somehow i find beauty in our failings,
somehow i find meaning in these lies
somehow I'm made perfect in this fracture,
your back is begging sweetly for my knives!

my faith is a front, I'm spilling blood,
glancing down to hide my face, I walk with eyes closed
through monuments of grace, I'm spilling blood
glancing down to hide my face i walk with eyes closed
through monuments of grace

isn't it sweet how,
trusted with angels,
and how so quickly
i break my promises?
isn't it sweet, isn't it sweet, isn't it sweet, isn't it sweet?

Deadbolt (03:00)
Thrice • The Illusion of Safety
When deadbolts awake you from deja vu dreams,
At four in the morning you know where I'll be
Out running red lights asleep at the wheel
The sirens feed my nightmares

I just close my eyes and I'm already there
Its already too late
I know its nothing but lies
But they sound so sincere
I find them too hard to hate

And she calls from the doorway "stolen water is sweet,
So lets drink it in the darkness if you know what I mean"
And she calls from the doorway "stolen water is sweet,
So lets drink it in the darkness if you know what I mean"

And I'm almost sure
That I've been here before,
That this is not the first time I've stood in front of this door
With an overwhelming feeling that I shouldn't go in
But it seems this is a battle that I never could win

And you
My true love
You call from the hilltop
You call through the streets
"Darling don't you know,
The water is poison"
And I say
"Come on and give me my poison"

What have I done?
Is it too late to save me from this place?
From the depths of the grave
We all are those...
Who thought we were brave
What have I done?

In Years to Come (02:16)
Thrice • The Illusion of Safety
i want to take the bullet,
the one aimed straight for your heart,
i want to meet the wolves halfway,
and let them tear me apart.
this is the way they do it here.

i want to lay on the tracks,
feel hot steel screaming at me,
expose the bones on my back,
let me show you what i mean.
yeah its a different kind of love,
i want to climb barbed wire fences
and warm our hands in blood.

and this is my gift,
asking you to fix
my ruined hands.
and its a gift that keeps on giving,
its a gift that keeps on giving,
its a gift that keeps on giving,
and right now its all i have to give.

i want to lay on the tracks,
feel hot steel screaming at me,
expose the bones on my back,
let me show you what i mean
i want to lay on the tracks,
feel hot steel screaming at me,
expose the bones on my back,
let me show you what i mean

i want to write the perfect song,
and play it just for you,
while you are tangled up in sleep.
i need you more than ill ever know
until i stop breathing
my lungs will take you for granted.

Where Idols Once Stood (03:08)
Thrice • The Illusion of Safety
Where Idols lay in ruins
we'd have saved them if we could
but we still choose to worship
the places where our idols stood.

still believing
they can save us,
I've lived this way too long to turn back now

Presuppositions set in stone
this coffin sealed by my own pride,
and though it seems the sun will shine,
ill draw the shades and stay inside.

if we've learned anything at all,
its that the ghosts of idols will do just as well
we all see what we want to anyway (screams anyway)

some things
are better left unsaid.
you know what's at stake
something's are better left unsaid
as long as we keep it
in textbooks, then well be untouchable, untouchable
we hate to lie to children,
but after all its all
for their own good.

Trust (02:54)
Thrice • The Illusion of Safety
mix the chemicals right dear, mix the chemicals right
yeah the margin of error is slight
mix the chemicals right dear
mix the chemicals right
yeah you know that you could
save my life

there is a risk, there's a risk when your dealing with love
you could snap my neck
any speed you drive can be dangerous

mix the chemicals right dear, mix the chemicals right
yeah you know there's a fine line between
mix the chemicals right dear, mix the chemicals right
cause i know what betrayal can mean

when this frame fails me
will i trust you to carry me through?
i know there's no such thing as safety
but i know what a promise can do.
will i trust you, will i trust you to carry me through?
i will trust you, cause i know what a promise can do

To Awake and Avenge the Dead (03:06)
Thrice • The Illusion of Safety
Old friend they told me you were dead
The news broadcast the funeral
500 channels focus in
Your love was
Ravished drawn and quartered,
The soil was swift to drink your blood.
This violence in the name of love!

But i still feel you,
Despite your tombstone,
But i still feel you,
Despite your tombstone,
So friend you must still walk among us,
In places we don't dare to glance
I saw you killing aristotle
I know its all part of the plan

Old friend they told me you were dead
The news broadcast the funeral
500 channels focus in
Your love was
Ravished drawn and quartered,
The soil was swift to drink your blood.
This violence in the name of love!

Old friend they told me you were dead
The news broadcast the funeral
500 channels focus in
Your love was
Ravished drawn and quartered,
The soil was swift to drink your blood.
This violence, this violence, this violence in the name of love!

To, awake, and, avenge the dead!
To, awake, and, avenge the dead!

The Beltsville Crucible (04:37)
Thrice • The Illusion of Safety
True friends stab you in the front
keep you from getting what you want
when one more fix could kill you
they help you realize that

you're more and
less than you first had believed
you've so much to give and there's so much you need
shortcuts through graveyards and a brand new way to breathe
three thousand miles just to learn,
all that's gold does not all shine...
and helping words aren't always kind,
when one more kiss could kill you,
they help you realize that

you're more and less than you first had believed
you've so much to give and there's so much you need
shortcuts through graveyards and a brand new way to breathe
three thousand miles just to learn

(bridge)

how to let my guard down
accept the fire that has spread among us.
and if you're feeling all right,
you've got to play it again,
you've got to play it again.
