Weightless 04:26
I wander through realms haunted by selves "Please release me" we sing out of sync Bury what you cannot carry Narration that sells the agenda so well Bleeding time but never out of reach Bury what you cannot carry Creation in tune with the lies of the moon I am weightless in chaos of storms
2.
Blush 02:54
Desire baby blue The sky casting on you A fantasy of heresies I escape into You're glaring down Upon this jolted sound I'm breathing in believing Destined for the ground And when you blush Theres a demon colored rush A web of truth I hold to you Crystalizing us And when you blush There's a compound to your trust Of every trend thats caving in Breathing into mud If you're the sun I'm growing If you're water I'll stay alive If you're an insect with an appetite Feast on my inside I fight to stay alive Are you poisonous and snide? Will you sedate me? Discrepancies align You are my mud I hold myself beside you I plant myself beside
3.
Rotten 04:29
You uncovered it The fearful root Spreading like an open secret Knees bruised Holy heart full Sucking on the rotten fruit Overflowing with our blood but the hunger gnawing still Let your sermons feed Void of meaning Your shrieks echo infinite Last sound heard before the drop Aided by hatred's teething push Overflowing with our blood but the hunger gnawing still Let your sermons feed Void of meaning You are light and true Blessed with selfish virtue Fanning the flames of the damned
4.
We had the stars and galaxies on our side But they realigned, giving light to your crimes God is a witness but she doesn't show up for work And I don't blame her at this point You had your history lined with a pile of filth Chasing solutions as your problems built Heresies happen and heresies become a norm This saga should die, but was it ever really born? Where is your will now? Covered in smoke Where is the guard I let down? Flowers are dying before they can bloom But would they really want to? People have spoken, witnesses fade Sagas continue, casualties come Gravel of the fallen
5.
Shaking in the corner you're wondering Why is this still happening? How is this still happening? Cry yourself to sleep and feel stupid Thought you'd moved through this You'll never move through this Stories in your brain, they remain Sometimes they hide away You think you're okay but it's a permanent stain What's the point of wings so delicate To crush at the slightest threat to their own concept? Plucking out the petals of progress Bloom just to wilt again Grow just to shrink back in Stories in your brain, they remain Sometimes they hide away You think you're okay but it's a permanent stain Cloudy lens obscuring the positive I know it's a passing phase Its visits they saturate Stories in your brain, they remain Sometimes they hide away You think you're okay but it's a permanent stain A permanent stain
6.
Shut 05:34
Does my silence echo in the spaces left by your explosion? Crawling through the rubble I am sick I am haunted Why your mouth still Why your body hidden In the shadow of a storm cloud Yes, your silence echoed It muted me Speechless we were Choices crumble under pressure Why your mouth still Why your body hidden In the shadow of a storm cloud Safety will always be a pipe dream And I thank you for reminding me And I hate you for reminding me
7.
Serotonin 02:57
Serotonin where'd you go? Called you into work and you were a no show Remember when you made me glow? Remember when joy wasn't a constant milestone? Serotonin it's a crime To come in so invited and you leave me out to die You calibrated my inside Now I'm always seeking shelter in the broad daylight Serotonin where's the peace? Sour in the aftermath, solemnly sweet I need you more than you need me I'm strung out with all my doubts waiting on your lead
8.
Presence 04:19
The clouds drop I think of you All of your sharp edges Memories soften you with time I overstate your meaning We speak in Echoes Living future yesterdays Exist as echoes of each other anyways Do I define every sensation That dizzies my balance? Timeless growing pains I quietly adjust We speak in Echoes Living future yesterdays Exist as echoes of each other anyways Do I dream of numbness? We speak in Echoes Living future yesterdays Exist as echoes of each other anyways
9.
Flicker 02:56
You had a reason and I had a rhyme But we lost them as they posted to a "have you seen me?" sign And I'm backed in the corner of a circular room I'm defenseless common senseless, yeah I'm waiting to move I see us flicker in love and in life, what a test You know uncertainty is certain when we're counting our breath Realism become make believe Drown me in fantasy As we become another casualty I made a fortress and I put up the walls But the telephone rang and I answered the call I took you for granted, you take me for a ride Ending in an unwelcome surprise I see us flicker in love and in life, what a test You know uncertainty is certain when we're counting our breath Realism become make believe Drown me in fantasy As we become another casualty
10.
Complacent 05:09
So polite, like a dove Not your fight Float above all the pain What is left? Not your fight Don't you wish we'd go away? Inconvenient things we say Softly crush us more each day Shrugging at their evil ways The tornado missed your house Now you don't believe in weather Don't you wish we'd go away? Inconvenient things we say Softly crush us more each day Shrugging at their evil ways
