Lots going on in this song musically, it didn't stand out on the first listen but I'm enjoying its layers.

God damn it Jeff needs to write more songs. Or more of them need to be on the album. This ones a beauty.

Beat me to it. Yes, this is going to be this tours opener and to me....it gives Quick Escape a run as best song of the album.

You can’t hide the lies
In the rings of a tree
If your heart still beats free
Keep it for yourself

When you want to run
And leave some part unrevealed
Like the flight of the bee
Keep it for yourself

It’s alright to be alone
To listen for a heartbeat
It’s your own
It’s alright to quiet up
To disappear in thin air
It’s your own

Should your living truth die
Could be an acid trip
Leave the eucharist whole
Keep it for yourself

If you tire of the game
Hit the road towards the clouds
Find the groove in the sound
Keep it for yourself

It’s alright to say no
Be a disappointment in your own home
It’s alright to turn it off
Ignore the rules of the state
It’s your own

It’s alright to shut it down
Disappear in thin air
It’s your home
It’s alright to be alone
To listen for a heartbeat
It’s your own

You can't hide your eyes

I dunno, see some complaints on this thread but I think this is one trippy tune. I’m really digging it...and the transitions are beautiful.

Such a great album so far!

This feels like it epitomizes the "now" of this record.

"It's alright to be alone
To listen for a heartbeat that's your own"

Ed, you mean to tell us you didn't write that this morning??!
