“My favorite song is ‘11/26.’ Sometimes there are songs on our records that I just put my everything into, and it has happened on just about every record we’ve written. ‘11/26’ is that song.

[Verse 1]
We stray, learning balance between time
Your innocence emanates but wisdom still ignored
Quiet and calm, a wordless devotion you share
Our thought like wind
Remind us of what we were
[Refrain]
We're killing the purest
In disbelief we often lie
[Chorus]
And when you bloom, will you leave her behind?
Or use your light to shine the way?
Caught in the doom, innocence left behind
Your words give us sight
We live (We live) to feel alive
Untethered (Untethered), controller of worlds
Still gilded and bright
Teach me your ways
Unlock (Unlock) the doors I shut so long ago
[Verse 2]
Can you hold onto the innocence, as the universe toils and turns?
Or can you call upon the gods and radiate the way you do now?
[Refrain]
We're killing the purest
In disbelief we often lie
Will you stay untethered
Where now your innocence is left behind?
[Bridge]
(And when you bloom will you leave her behind?
Caught in the doom, innocence left behind)
[Chorus]
We live to feel alive
Untethered, controller of worlds
Still gilded and bright
Teach me your ways, unlock the doors I shut so long ago
I find color in your words, beguiling ghosts in your eyes (Your eyes)
Untethered (Untethered), controller of worlds
Still gilded and bright
[Guitar solo]
