No Shadow
04:19
|

|
well it may be a long time
before we see the sun again
drifting out across the sky
as the darkness descends
let’s leave this old world behind
like a flicker in the haze
let all we were and all we’ve known
fade with yesterday
no shadow
backwards from the sun
you’re the only one
no echo
distorting all we hear
our minds are free and clear
well all we want is to escape
from this rock in outer space
let’s rocket to the farthest one
where we’re going there’s no days
how we live is all our own
let’s discover who we are
and measure out our years
by the slowest burning star
no shadow
backwards from the sun
you’re the only one
no echo
distorting all we hear
our minds are free and clear

Imposter Spaceship
03:31

sometimes I feel like a stranger in my clothes
sometimes I feel like I don’t belong here
sometimes I feel like I’m drunk behind the wheel
alone at the helm of my imposter spaceship

Broken & Abused
02:26
|
|||
|
how many times have we been broken and abused
how many ways have we been lied to and misused
don’t talk about it
repress it more
let me touch
your open sores
it goes on and on and on
but maybe one day we will find another way
to overcome the pain
from our years of scars
if I could take away your memories of harm
maybe we could start
in the open darkness
every time I find I’m fighting off the rage
I know the icy tears have frozen to your face
don’t think about it
it hurts too much
drown your sorrows
in my touch
we’ll escape the light of day
but maybe one day we will find another way
to overcome the pain
from our years of scars
if I could take away your memories of harm
maybe we could start
in the open darkness
BROKEN
ABUSED
LIED TO
MISUSED
but maybe one day we will find a better way
to overcome the pain
from our years of scars
if I could take away your memories of harm
maybe we could start
in the open darkness

Rebound Girl
02:43
|
|||
|
disrupt my vision
inject your stare
fatal expression
from the back of your head
your touch is hollow
limbs turning blue
asphyxiated
but what can I do?
be my rebound girl
I don’t love you but I will
be my rebound girl
let me show you
what I’m made of
inside I’m wicked
inside I’m dead
inside I’ve got nothing
but hot molten lead
well you’re no angel
that look in your eyes
like you’d torment me
just to see my surprise
be my rebound girl
I don’t love you but I will
be my rebound girl
let me show you
what I’m made of

Slow Decrescendo
02:58
|
|||
|
she insists she take the wheel
needs music she can sing to
and her voice becomes the taste
I spit into the sink
the blood with mint
did I bite my tongue
as you began to steer?
the passion and the fear
what am I doing here?
submerging emotions in the boiling bathwater
evaporating patience, shaking to the cadence
of our slow decrescendo
can this be the end though
or will we fade
until our dying day

Down to the Bottom
04:26
|
|||
|
the spiral staircase we descend is dimly lit
our voices echoing the sound of wet cement
the outline of your body like porcelain
stumbling forward into the blackness
take me down to the bottom
let me feel your scorn
take me down to the bottom
let me feel your warmth
take me down to the bottom
let me feel your scorn
take me down to the bottom
let me feel your warmth
down in the basement with the placement of police men on the chase ticketing the weak men
we don’t give a shit, just throw it in the waste bin, every time I fake belief that a ghost can
haunt with a vengeance in the absence of a reason to pursue fate to the end ascending to heaven is
the worst penance just to get sent back down to the bottom
take me down to the bottom
let me feel your scorn
take me down to the bottom
let me feel your warmth
take me down to the bottom
let me feel your scorn
take me down to the bottom
let me feel your warmth
I prod you like a child fingers mud
with some twisted dirty glee so curious
and deep inside I know that it’ll take
more than soapy water
to get you off
take me down to the bottom
let me feel your scorn
take me down to the bottom
let me feel your warmth
take me down to the bottom
let me feel your scorn
take me down to the bottom
let me feel your warmth
take me

Something Missing
02:59
|
|||
|
I had a dream that you had died
went up in flames with victory cries
I had a dream that you were gone
long before your time
someone said you snuck away
with a giant grin, well you’d say
you never cared about
how things were ‘sposed to be
well you set before the sun
and now you’ve got me wondering how to move on
left us all at 21 and now there’s something missing
well you set before the sun
and now you’ve got us crying
all alone
waiting for you to come home

Good Enough
04:05
|
|||
|
it was a bright cold day
I reached my hand to you
all I could see
was your white teeth smiling
and happiness it seemed
was easy to achieve
and for a moment with you I thought I knew
who I wanted to be
why weren’t you good enough
good enough for me
why weren’t you good enough
good enough for me
why weren’t you good enough
good enough for me
nobody’s good enough
good enough for me
and I’ve seen too many tears in my rearview mirror
to think yours will be the last
and I’ve lost count of departing cars and
promises that I’ve broken in the past
and I’d say I’ll change my ways
but we’ve both know that’s a lie
I just wanted you to know I still remember
everything you said
why weren’t you good enough
good enough for me
why weren’t you good enough
good enough for me
why weren’t you good enough
good enough for me
nobody’s good enough
good enough for me

Hey Depression

Hey Depression,
can I address you as a person?
you’ve been lingering around again
reminding me that we were friends
Hey Depression,
how did you know it’d be so soon
that I’d come crawling back to you
on hands and knees and so confused?
Hey Depression
Hey Depression
Hey Depression,
have you been waiting all this time
on the shore of my subconscious
as I sailed out to the wind?
Hey Depression,
were you watching as I laughed
through all those years of happiness
knowing that it couldn’t last?
Hey Depression
Hey Depression

Resonance
05:11

no echo distorting all we hear
our minds are free and clear
no shadow backward from the sun
you’re the only one
no echo distorting all we hear
our minds are free and clear
no shadow backward from the sun
you’re the only one
that I’ll ever know
no echo distorting all we hear
our minds are free and clear
in this atmosphere
and now it’s over
like supernova
celestial shattering
and now it’s over

Back of the Sun
03:25
|
|||
|
I feel it burning from within
our potential fusion
magnetic pulsing disease
erotic gravitation
and we could outshine galaxies
with the velocity of sunshine
expanding in the night
like a stardusty horizon
all we say and do
and everything we know
when all is said and done
doesn’t matter at the back of the sun
all we see and feel
and all our hesitation
when we’re all dead and gone
doesn’t matter at the back of the sun
And now it’s over
like supernova celestial shattering
And now it’s over
like supernova celestial shattering
And now it’s over
like supernova celestial shattering
And now it’s over
like supernova celestial shattering
all we say and do
and everything we know
when all is said and done
doesn’t matter at the back of the sun
like a shockwave through the cosmos
in our devastating wake
when we’re all dead and gone
it won’t matter at the back of the sun
doesn’t matter at the back of the sun
nothing matters at the back of the sun
And now it’s over
like supernova celestial shattering
And now it’s over
like supernova celestial shattering
And now it’s over
like supernova celestial shattering
