Bad Dreams
02:57
|

Languid silence
I couldn't break away, no, not fast enough
Trapped and timeless
Muscles in molasses, it felt so real
When you shut down
Why would you let go just to plug back in
I had no choice
I let go awake and I found myself
Far away
Far away
I recognize
But I don't, where am I, where do I go
Time amplifies
By myself, but I felt a shiver go
Down my spine
Down my spine
But I wasn't alone
He at least had my clone
Where I had to fend for myself
He wasn't real
But you know how it feels
Note for my brain
It read, hello, I love your back tattoo
You think you're sane
Then you can't help but feel the dread
No one listens
Then more notes came, I felt the panic
He saw it all
Eyes everywhere, and I just couldn't find
The faceless man
Faceless man
He described my room
Was it the way it was because he said it, or because he saw it too
Would you believe that I don't know and I still look
Past my shoulder

Endless Words
03:03
|

See the red light
Sun shines on you
We are all blinded
Nothing is new
If you are afraid
Don't ask me what to do
I'll never tell you
I'm afraid too
Endless words, overthought
Resonance, noise and sound
Quiet romance, sad and not
Here and now
Rarely found
Leave the blue night
For renewed time
Shining light as footholds
For a wearing climb
But if you really had to leave without saying your goodbyes
You know that I would see right through your eyes, and I would see your lies
And I just can't apologize
I cannot admit that you tried
Endless words, overthought
Resonance, noise and sound
Quiet romance, sad and not
Here and now
Endless words, overthought
Resonance, noise and sound
Quiet romance, sad and not
Here and now
Rarely found

Teeth
03:54
|

Don't try to mourn a life that you never had
Start living it
Because you're down for the weekend
Those little voices in the back of my head
When I'm listening
They tell me I'm already dead
I can hear them scratching
On the inside of the walls
Burrowed holes in my stomach and my skull
Give us teeth that we may rip and shred
Give us claws and all the rest
Marry me that we may fix this mess
Joint account, fixed address
This train is running on a one-way track
Take a breath
You'll never see this shade of green again
You're holding onto what you're certain about
It draws it out
Cause now you know there's no such thing
And it feels too early
To be screaming at the void
Blackest black, it can't talk back, then what's the point
Here's what you get for your hundred years
A gold watch and a package of fears
Here's what you get for your promises
Sixteen tons on the back of your neck
Give us teeth that we may rend this flesh
Give us straw to build a nest
Marry me that we may right this ship
Give us more than we can stand

Fight Yourself
02:51
|
|||
I never let it go
A taste of repute came my way
The feeling had to stay
I used to be a lover
I never let myself turn away
A phrase so often overplayed
Now I'm so fixed forward
And always ready to fight to win
Fight so hard, your muscles wear thin
Oh, what a lonely journey
To only cherish what you've been
Fight yourself
The room spins the crowd screams and yells for round two
But alone in my head, this ring is askew

Unfeeling
03:58
|
|||
Our hands, met free
Take this, find me
Your time, slowly
Breathes with the sea
Actions betray
Just do as I say
Your glance, ice cold
I do as I'm told
Thoughts as colours, could have been a bright summer
Left without one another
And I was left to discover
It's not as bright as I thought
Even after all we fought
I'm under fire, I'm a simplifier
I'm under fire, I'm a simplifier
I don't want what's healing
I can't be unfeeling
I don't want what's healing
I can't be unfeeling
I don't want what's healing
I can't be unfeeling

Virus
03:20
|
|||
You drove us out when we tried to stay quiet
But the friends we made there sure didn't buy it
The lies that fill you aren't as bad as the rumours
They grew and grew, we couldn't have left sooner
Enough people love you every day
So why would you need us anyway
Sent out your swarm like we were
A virus
We fled until another did acquire us
Travelers cannot see inside of you
But I know your beauty can't hide the truth
Views remain, adventure awaits
Majestic green and rocky past the gate
Oh when I left, I was weary
Of the undertone of hostility
I had my theories, but none of them could be
Certainty
When people like me, I'll have
Authenticity
How many souls do you need
To feel you've completed your feed
You broke us until we had to leave
And made us feel that we left as thieves
Enough people love you every day
So why would you need us anyway
Sent out your swarm like we were
A virus
We fled until another did acquire us
We fled until another did acquire us
We fled until another did acquire us

Honey
03:50
|
|||
Honey, don't leave us for paradise
Don't leave when we close our eyes
Honey, you're set on the ocean views
We're set on keeping you
I know that you might pack up and go
And staying here reminds you
Of who you know
Let you down
When you said you were fine
And you tiptoed the line
Honey, the city makes you strong
And to vanish isn't wrong
Honey, you've got your sense of love
But in truth, it's a little rough
I know that you might pack up and go
And staying here reminds you
Of who you know
Let you down
When you said you were fine
And you tiptoed the line
I know that you might pack up and go
And staying here reminds you
Of who you know
Let you down
When you said you were fine
And you tiptoed the line
You said you were fine
And you tiptoed the line
You said you were fine
And you tiptoed the line
You said you were fine
So you go

I Built Myself
03:45
|
|||
I had a different vision
Of how to perform, function
Oh let me sing for you
So I can satisfy
No one has a single maker
And every piece is true
All components come from somewhere
Let me take from you
Take my words far from my zone of influence
So I can live with myself again
These days always a challenge
With a simple, little fix
But simple never showed so easy
Lost in the mind's tricks
Take my words far from my zone of influence
So I can live with myself again
I built myself
I couldn't change what I'm made of
I built myself
I couldn't change what I'm made of
I built myself
I couldn't change what I'm made of
I built myself
I couldn't change what I'm made of

Bushed
03:41

I remember the year I barely pulled through
Being young and stupid means
You don't have to think about what happens to you
I remember the year I saw you the most
Being young and in love means
You don't have to justify the paths you chose
I'm still grateful
Not that graceful
Still a bit faithful
To the upbeat
I think I'm bushed
Worn out and beat
And it's adorable
Looking back at what I wanted
I remember the year that it fell apart
Being young and reckless means
You don't have to go far to get back to the start
I remember the year I felt so alone
Being young and hopeful helps me
Get through when I feel so low
I'm still grateful
Not that graceful
Still a bit faithful
To the upbeat
I think I'm bushed
Worn out and beat
And it's adorable
Looking back at what I wanted
I'm still grateful
Not that graceful
Still a bit faithful
To the upbeat
To the upbeat
I think I'm bushed
Worn out and beat
And it's adorable
Looking back at what I wanted
I think I'm bushed
Worn out and beat
And it's adorable
Looking back at what I wanted
