We’re waiting on ourselves to bloom
And finding that there’s no room but these
Insecurities will rot with all our worries, so what
And I hear that old bell ring
Come so far to see
In the waiting room while the future’s beaming
Filling up my eyes

Longshot
03:39
|
|||
One day you’re on the upswing
In turn it’s really nothing
Behind the curtain of a purgatory mind
And a world that’s just leaving us all behind
On a pale horse outrunning the clock
In this beaten path we run we’ll never stop
One day I’m beat down, one day I’m rising up
And I’m hoping that what’s left will fill our cup
We’ll start today, as I feel you slip away
Won’t be left wondering
And I hear that old bell ring, it’s a longshot
Come so far to see it’s a longshot
In the waiting room just plotting our demise
While the future’s beaming filling up my eyes
Is there something left to stall the
Patience of a fly on the wall
Racing through a ride
That keeps coming unhinged
While the fire’s burning every single bridge
I’m climbing on this carousel
Spinning through these thoughts I know too well
While on one hand I’m preparing for the end
Still I’m praying that the wounds I made will mend
We’ll start today, as I feel you slip away
Won’t be left wondering
And I hear that old bell ring, it’s a longshot
Come so far to see it’s a longshot
In the waiting room just plotting our demise
While the future’s beaming filling up my eyes
I know we can’t cross it
We had it, and we lost it

Walking on air, but it’s getting thin is
Complacency so permanent
Leaving my well wishes by the stairs
Motivation so hard to find
Your sympathy’s no friend of mine
Over now but was it ever there
My veins are running empty, but the emptiness feels right
Sunken faces staring through the glass, not meant to last
This constant headache, constant fear, constants ringing out from year to year
All as we wore clothes not made to weather
Creature comforts of my time all paved the way to leave me blind
Remnants of the era all taste bitter
No perfect swan song, no defiance
Nothing left that I can say
No perfect swan song, no defiance
Lay me down and turn the page
My veins are running empty, but the emptiness feels right
Sunken faces staring through the glass, not meant to last
I’m letting go

Eat The World
02:06
|
|||
Every day you’re afraid of nothing
Following the way the wind blows
On this path of most resistance
Far too kind to these xenophobes
Soon we’ll wrap this up
And it eats the world
As we come unfurled
And it eats the world
Coming back again
And it eats the world
As we come unfurled
And it eats the heart from your chest
Don’t watch while it eats the world

Hurricane
03:08
|

Summers’ bringing that cold feeling
Constant ringing
Heads in the clouds, something else amiss
Now decaying, let’s get it started
Can’t take the first swing
Lost my hand in a pinky promise
It’s been a hard week, can’t tell if this is more or less sleep and
I got bricks tied to my feet, can’t tell if this is more or less sleep and I
Have I lost all meaning, is there doubt
Summer’s bringing hurricanes
It’s been a hard year, can’t tell if this is more or less sleep
I got bricks tied to my feet, can’t tell if this is more or less sleep and I
It’s been a hard life, can’t tell if this is more or less sleep
I got bricks tied to my feet, can’t tell if this is more or less sleep and I
A locomotive losing steam
Begin and ending, lost in the pages of a storybook dream
It’s been a hard year, can’t tell if this is more or less sleep and
I got bricks tied to my feet, can’t tell if this is more or less sleep and I
It’s been a hard life, can’t tell if this is more or less sleep
I got bricks tied to my feet, can’t tell if this is more or less sleep and I
It’s been a hard week

Take This With You
02:49
|
|||
Don’t forget to take this with you when you go
Cutting ties before
Ties that binded our way
Stretching thin before
Now there’s nothing left to say
Regret has been left on display
All that’s left is leaving your own way
Your heart of hate, well I can’t relate
Gaslight and bait, well I can’t relate
Your presence is too much to take
I can’t relate, I can’t relate
Cutting ties before
Ties that binded our way
Justify my concern, caverns of void remiss
Stretching thin before
Now there’s nothing left to say
Nevermind to unturn patterns of malignance
Don’t forget to take this with you when you go
Don’t forget to take this with you I’ll let you go

Witch's Streak
03:24
|
|||
Running on crow’s feet
A victim of self-scrutiny
And time keeps ticking by
Never know which face I’ll put on that day so
I’ll grab one from the closet and go out today
A doll dressed for display
And I keep shoveling, and I keep shoveling
But the damage is done
Never felt worse than when I looked my best
I’ve missed out on 100 years of beauty rest
But time’s still ticking by
Unexpected architect, always rebuilding
The scenes in my head they are always unyielding
And it’s never “one size fits all”
And I keep shoveling, and I keep shoveling
But the damage is done
Why don’t you speak for yourself
Don’t you speak for yourself?

Long In The Tooth
05:20
|

This old argument, this same old fatigue
I’ve been stumbling, wishing my way through these weeks
This old apartment, this same old belief
I’ve been hoping and wishing you well
A caricature so benign
I’m feeding you patience while you feed me lines
Tomorrow’s ahead standing tall
We’re long in the tooth but we’re short in our crawl
Just one more hour, then just one more week
Silence so loud that I can’t get to sleep
The train rattles my bed and it rattles my brain
My intentions are pure but I feel so deranged
Watching, empty, pendulum swings
We’re all moving underground
And nobody turns around
Feet on the ground and I’m feeling each day
I repeat, I repeat, I repeat
So steel yourself for the fall, with our backs on the wall we know
Nothing but nothing’s complete
Bleed to meet demands, tethered to your precious grains of sand
Pleading with a motionless heart, beating seamlessly
If only going through motions I’ve learned
Feeding endlessly these parts we’re forced to play
Silent, binding
We’re all moving underground
And nobody turns around
Feet on the ground and I’m feeling each day
I repeat, I repeat, I repeat
So steel yourself for the fall, with our backs on the wall we know
Nothing but nothing’s complete
With no will to break
In chasms we bloom
Harvest the moon

Pinwheel

I know it’s not worthwhile, I know that you’re vile
The only constant is the voice inside my head
This wasting time, no friend of mine
The only constant is the voice inside my head
And I can tell by the way you smile
You will torture me a while
I’ve got nothing left to prove, yeah
I’m gonna break on through

Axe To Grind
00:56
|
|||
Misdirected hate to aid, abet you for a day
Disregard and sick contempt leaving others with nothing
And now I’m giving up, can you feel it
I guess you got a new axe to grind
You know I can see it in your face, what’s on your mind
Burrowed down again and drained to the core
Baring teeth and the smile that you wore
And now I’m giving up, can you feel it
I guess you got a new axe to grind
You know I can see it in your face, what’s on your mind
You know I can see it in your face what's on your
Face what’s on your mind

Run Away
01:57
|
|||
Take the hint, I’m not giving up
I can’t operate this time
One blink and barrel to demise
As we let this push and pull connect our broken stride
These cold hands giving their reprise
You run away when things start to change
So run away and I’ll rearrange
Try to talk through pain and strife you abdicate alright
It seems you function out of spite
Try to talk through pain and strife you abdicate alright
It seems you function out of spite
You run away when things start to change
So run away and I’ll rearrange
You run away when things start to change
So run away and I’ll rearrange

Sunflower
03:33
|

Just wait to see what’s in store
But I’ve heard that one before so I don’t see
All the time I’ve wasted coming back to me
These insecurities will rot with all the worries of what
You never told me, just goes to show
All the worry on your mind, on your mind can’t erase
All the problems that you face, that you face so well
We’re waiting on ourselves to bloom
And finding that there’s no room for treating yourself badly
But the mirror’s laughing back at me
These insecurities will rot with all the worries of what
You never told me, just goes to show
All the worry on your mind, on your mind can’t erase
All the problems that you face, that you face so well
And with my last reason to stay
Stage dressing dropping in its wake
Sunflower left to turn and face
The burning end to a new day
All the worry on your mind, on your mind can’t erase
All the problems that you face, that you face so well
That you face so well

Dyad
03:24
|
|||
Each hit and ache, the ground it shakes
Reality slipping
Each push and pull I can’t seem full
Barely gripping
Silent, read between the lines and you'll find
Curse the dyad we couldn’t find
Breathing fumes, and checking in
Hit the ground and back again
List of dates pinned to the wall
Wonder if they care at all
Worse than you’re letting show
More than we’ll ever know
Worse than you’re letting show
And I won’t stay silent
Read between the lines and you'll find
Curse the dyad we couldn’t find
Back again it feels the same
Back again it feels the same
Looking back I won’t play this game
And I won’t stay silent
Read between the lines and you'll find
Curse the dyad we couldn’t find
