The album is so lyrically beautiful. And I know it won't be their most popular album, but I am so ok with that!!!! They even said that this album was less about making songs that would be popular and more about what they wanted out of the album.
Some of my favorite lyrics:
The Black Market:
"I just wanna let you know
I am falling on my knees right now
Covered in the mess I made
The colors use to wash right out
But now they are apart of me
I've been searching for a remedy
But all along it's been in front of me
I need you here, I need you now"
"We traffic in the blackest of markets
Trade misery like diamonds and gold"
The Eco-Terrorist in Me:
"When it all comes down
Will you say you did everything you could
When it all comes down
Will you be able to say that you never gave up
Were you standing by to watch it all fall away?
Will you hold on or let it go?"
Tragedy + Time: (like the whole song

"On the edges of the sharpest of knives
In the middles of the darkest nights
Always knew that I'd find you here
In a puddle of the bravest tears
I've seen enough to know
It's lonely where you are"
"And the bravest of face
Are the ones where we fake it"
Sooooo yeah!!!!!!!
