Menace
03:25
|
|||
Shook down
Aching to the core when ruptured powerless
We'd see red to horizon
If there were care left spare to give
Sanity's swinging on a shoestring
Numb to epiphany
What gives in the dirty corners
Call it will, call it anything
Heartbroke and dreamin in a backseat
Living in a head, right in the skin
Sanity's swinging on a shoestring
When shots fired too easily
Do we suffer only to recover
Coming up for air before the cycle takes me in
Suffocating, aspirations fading
Coming up for air until the cycle starts again
Wake up in another headspace
All's well and immediate
It's high time to live a little easy
And know who the hell we're fighting for
Who's down to sever that shoestring? Who needs autonomy
So go kill your menace deep in your heart
Show some love and open your arms

Searching For Light
02:56
|

Time is running out
The clock it never slows I see clearly now,
but I got no place to go. I'm not holding out
I'm not perennial
in the midnight hour.
I'll no longer grow.
All the lessons turn into questions
Weighed down by the darkness, searching for light.
My mind is slowing now
I see in front of me
I can hear the sound
Of the ticking that won't cease I'm not filled with doubt
I'm aware of what could be
In this fertile ground where flowers go to seed
All the lessons turn into questions
Weighed down by the darkness, searching for light. All the lessons turn into questions
Break down break down left to fertilize
I won't wait for the fall
The decay is immeasurable
Is this our fate all in all
The decay is inevitable
All the lessons turn into questions
Weighed down by the darkness, searching for light.
All the lessons turn into questions
Break down break down left to fertilize

Burn Forever
03:00
|
|||
A reprieve brings you to your knees
Then you realize
The peace still out of reach
Crawling right between your eyes
Never brings, only drains
Not enough to feel free
It never was yours to keep It'll never be
It's still out of reach
In time but off center
I'm fine but not fine tonight
Horizon's aren't meant to be so hard to find
In time but off center
I'm fine but not fine tonight
The thrill's gone, left a mess in me
I've identified what is still always happening
Right between the eyes
Gotta work
Gotta breathe
Gotta dig in deep
Every wrung brings a new vantage point to see
But it's still out of reach
In time but off center
I'm fine but not fine tonight
Horizon's aren't meant to be so hard to find
In time but off center
I'm fine but not fine tonight
Gonna burn forever
Nothing right left to say
The connection's severed
Every thought's so far away
In time but off center
I'm fine but not fine tonight
Horizon's aren't meant to be so hard to find
In time but off center
I'm fine but not fine tonight
Horizon's aren't meant to be so hard to find
In time but off center
I'm fine but not fine tonight

After The Impossible
04:10
|
|||
I would wait for you in rain
Holding out, drown I may
Calling on a will to fly
Above the storm, one day we'll die.
Without you now I'd only be
A shell with broken bones beneath
For reasons that we can't ignore
If you could wait for me once more...
I am ready to find my way.
To find my way to you.
I am ready to find my way.
To find my way to truth.
Here we are, let truth be told.
Is all the waiting getting old?
Will you be here after the cold?
After the impossible?
I am ready to find my way.
To find my way to you.
I am ready to find my way.
Find my way to truth.
Leave a swinging door behind me oh and I'm not sure where I am going now.
I'll see you around.
I am ready to find my way.
To find my way to you.
I am ready to find my way.
To find my way to you.
I am ready to find my way.
Find my way to truth.
As moments pass I'll only hope
I can't wait for you to call

Remnants
03:24
|
|||
My reaction from all the distraction has got me running in place.
My fear's all haunting and clear
while you're barely awake
If you say you're better off all alone
If you say you're stronger than we know
I will wait til you're ready to come home
If you say so, if you say so
All the mention of early ascension
Has got me worse for the wear
A euphemism for my current condition you
I hate leaving you here
If you say you're better off all alone
If you say you're stronger than we know
I will wait til you're ready to come home
If you say so, if you say so, if you say so, if you say so
We will break
We will shine
And the remnants will be left behind
All the weight
All the time
All the things we sacrifice
If you say you're better off all alone
If you say you're stronger than we know
I will wait til you're ready to come home
If you say so, if you say so, if you say so, if you say so

Chewing On Broken Glass
02:56
|
|||
It's a jinx if you speak
About it when it's happening.
So just don't talk.
Try not to think that you
Might not get it back.
It was strange enough for us already,
Before this last one...
But it's a knife in the gut
To think of what could've been.
So, what's the story now really?
It's been a while since we got it straight.
Don't wanna leave.
Don't wanna stay.
I just need something that I can take
To replace the bad taste
In my mouth with something sweet.
Is this all happening?
Is this all happening?
Cause there's no way
That we got this right.
I'm chewing on broken glass
And iodine.

Fences
03:57
|
|||
Cover over nearly everything
a blanket hiding all the cuts we can't erase
Are we gone? Spent and swiftly drying up? Are we done like a chanterelle in the sun?
Wake up, rise up. Use or lose the senses.
Step up, own up to why we build our fences.
We cover over nearly everything
Hide the scars from our loved ones we hold so dear
Are we dead moving our bodies to let our lost souls lay in waste from bloody tolls?
Wake up, rise up. Use or lose the senses.
Step up, own up to why we build our fences.
There's a light shining over the pines
But somehow this mind feels so dark
I recognize that I'm losing my time
tired and broken without a spark
Wake up, rise up. Use or lose the senses.
Step up, own up to why we build our fences.

Side Of The Road
03:17
|
|||
Considering all things are lost
Finding a way back to bury the cost
Is grinding me down to the dirt between us I can't remember where anything was
Or where I am
Out of my control
Now that I collide with all that's
Out of my control
I'm on the side of the road
Retracing my steps
Refuse to be rooted in rot
Finally making room for what needs some thought Crumbling around us all, everyone
Are we impatiently turning to dust?
Can we?
The tread it will only wear thin
So razors in
To an end all agreed upon with
A violent right pull of the wheel
Out of my control
Now that I collide with all that's
Out of my control
I'm on the side of the road
Retracing my steps

Wildfire
03:38
|
|||
Some chain reaction is trying to run through me.
And I've been waiting all along.
Cause I've seen the toxic pit grow into a hillside.
Now they're selling land rights in the sun.
There ain't no money back guarantee.
It never made much sense to me.
Boxed in and building with kindling and firewood.
I want my money back.
There's no satisfaction.
The kids are mad today.
Cause we've been leading them wrong.
Lead in each caustic sip.
Cancer in their tan lines.
Choking on a wildfire in the sun.

Bury Us All
03:55
|
|||
I was shaking, couldn't make it through a dark hall
I never knew the bell ringing was the last call
If I could wake up without feeling like running away from everything that's crumbling and coming down on our head to bury us all
Those days are over now and out of the fold
Searching for solid ground but can't find the stone
Those days are over but flowers still grow
Searching for solid ground a place to call home a place to call home
A piece of my mind hidden here in each line
Every time there may never be a next time
If I could wake up without feeling like running away from everything that's crumbling and coming down on our head to bury us all
Those days are over now and out of the fold
Searching for solid ground but can't find the stone
Those days are over but flowers still grow
Searching for solid ground a place to call home a place to call home
There's a light that we follow
It defines who we are
There's a place that we carry our weight for the taste that is fleeting and gone
Those days are over now and out of the fold
Searching for solid ground but can't find the stone
Those days are over but flowers still grow
Searching for solid ground a place to call home a place to call home

Touch The Sun
02:43
|
|||
A brick to a glass conscience
The shards now all around
No clue for context
Breathing underneath and out
Sharp teeth tear into
Thick skin now breaking down
Volume
No substance
Still no way to turn it down
See through
What's armed and the guarded
I feel you falling apart on your own
So unified in misguided momentum
It's no use
It's already started to consume
The venom has taken its hold
A new dawn of disintegrating
You touched the sun
Dragged through emptiness
Disguised as sobering truth
Volume
No substance
Feel the punchline clear the room
Through the blue above, there's you
Soaring to your end in ruins

Much Love
03:12
|
|||
I'm waking up to chorus
Screaming every word
of hope and heartbreak
and lessons we've learned.
We've grown to be family
with the healing songs we share.
I open my eyes
and you're all still here.
So much in life won't stay the same
But this right here will never change
We'll raise a glass to you and sing, much love. Much love.
I'm looking out at the kindred
ink that scars our skin.
When we feel lost,
here's where we fit in.
Here's to us dancing
like no one else is around
All the miles driven
To be here right now.
So much in life won't stay the same.
But this right here will never change
We'll raise a glass to you and sing, much love.
This is one thing that will stay the same.
This is one thing that will stay the same.
This is one thing that will stay the same. We're not alone.
So much in life won't stay the same.
But this right here will never change
We'll raise a glass to you and sing, much love. Much love.
