Incoherent

I’m feeling expelled
I’m feeling exposed
There’s sound to your words but they’re incoherent
Like cold winds coming trying to numb my feelings
I’m feeling expelled
I’m feeling exposed
I’m braced for your words but they’re disappearing
Like every other voice trying to numb my feelings
I shut them all away
The bedlam insane
With all the malice in flight, I wanna know that I'll be here for me.
Won’t let your words take hold of me. Won’t let you break me down for every little thing. So obvious you project your own insecurities. Won’t let your words mean shit to me
There’s no rest in your words
When your mind keeps saying you’re the center of the Earth
There’s no end to your words
When your mind keeps saying you’re the center of the Earth

Sick of The World
02:51

|
There's a way to hold a fresh start so you won't let it go to waste. In the morning when I wake up, there’s no more hold in me
Because the lanes cut off, the train stops; a motionless energy. When I finally see it fade on, there’s no more move in me
There’s nothing left to convince me. I can’t remember the last time I felt free enough just to be. There’s nothing left out here but strain. Im a shell of what I used to be, my reasons for being sick of the world
There's a way to hold a fresh start so you won't let it go to waste. In the morning when I wake up, there’s no more hold in me.
Cause they’re tearing down the great spots, emotionless energy. We’re at time where people feign on for who they want to be.
It’s a long way out and I'm anxious, I gotta start seeing it through. There's a hole in the heart of my patience, I gotta say

Escape Route
02:49
|

|
Have you ever spent days looking for an escape?
Tell your mind to stay out of my brain
Have you ever spent days looking for an escape?
I can’t stop from thinking of a runaway plan
I see tomorrow from the one way track
I gotta pull through the last arm that holds my weight
I'm running out of time with you (as time moves on)
The more I think about, the more it affects you (and i'll be gone)
I need a break from all the conscience in my brain
Have you ever spent days looking for an escape?
Tell your mind to stay out of my brain
Have you ever spent days looking for an escape?
It pains today
I’m losing something every day I stay
Get me closer
I gotta pull through the last arm that holds my weight
If I’m not there today then I planned my escape route without you,
and every time I seem to stray, I escape far away
An escape far away

Forty Miles
01:36
|

|
It's a mile to the city, forty more to quench my thirst. It's an avalanche of fleeing motivation getting nursed. Take the last train into my head and you'll never wanna see me again.
Call me crazy cause I’m feeling like I have nowhere to go. Things ain't working out for me no more and timing plays a role. Take the last train into my head and you'll never wanna see me again.
Take me away because I can't stand it on this side.

Mistakes
01:46
|
|||
|
I'm afraid I made a mistake and now our nights are crawling on into a state of culmination where I'm standing my guard.
I’m afraid I made a mistake and now the lights are coming on. Now they’re showing all the hatred that I spilled on my guard.
Im shaking off the callus’ of misery because I don't wanna be this drawn, and I'm taking on the status of simplicity because problematic sings our song.
Set yourself tonight. Protect yourself tonight
Do you wanna stay afraid for the rest of your life? Do you wanna make mistakes for the rest of your life

Cigarettes and Ash
03:27
|

|
Cigarettes and ash this morning. A cold sweat and my lungs are burning and I wonder when the time I shaved will come and take me away. I never thought it would end this early, now I’m sitting with eyesight blurry and I wonder when the time I saved will come and take me away.
I don’t wanna think about a single thing, I just wanna feel the time run out. I can’t stand my stance and I’m freaking out.
With all my candles burning, I’m shivering in the candle light . When I was young and so headstrong, I can't remember holding on.
Now all my candles burnt out, I’m shivering but ill be fine. I've been stung and for so long now my reflection is company.
Cigarettes and ash this morning. I started feeling my heart beat forming, and I know I gotta find my strength before it takes it away.
Making my own connection. Building my own reflection.

Sooner or Later
01:13
|

|
Both of us too fucking stubborn. Neither is willing to give just a little. Ramming our heads into nothing. Winning a war that is non-existent
Sooner or later will we work together? Who knows? Or will we resign to the fact that that's just how it goes?
You're seeing things in your own way while I'm seeing things in the opposite. We think we're so fucking different, unwilling to buckle or deal with it.
Sooner or later will we work together? Who knows? Or will we resign to the fact that that's just how it goes?

Bad Person
01:42

Full of stories. Full of stories and a small brain. Sanctimony and bullshit just flies out of your face.
So exhausting. Must be exhausting to keep up this fake phony fibbing, a transparent charade.
Just cause you think it doesn’t make it so. Just because you think it doesn’t make it so.
Full of stories. Full of stories and a small fucking brain. Fake phony fibbing, a transparent charade.
Just cause you think it doesn’t make it so. Just because you think it doesn’t make it so.
You’re a bad person, just a shitty person

The Grateful Dread

I started playing on a bassline song that brought me back here again, and I’m too tired to fight how much I love this in the end. The only place where moments of the world just sail away, where time can find us and remind that we’re always just today.
I let it form with entropy and let the everyday feelings go. There’s a world in flames that's burning slow.

Don't go so fast. Find a way up, find a way on, find a way to stay right here. Don’t go so fast. Find a way up, find a way out, feel this pulse and then stay right here. True of me to break this fast, just trying to make it last, as always, it’s all things.

Avoid when moments break to destroy the potential in you.
You’re planning your words, you're three steps away. You set all the plans up just to hide away from change.
I spent the last days refining the exit for you to walk through. You can't help thinking of what it is you’d wanna do when you’re through.
You’re planning your words, you're three steps away. You set all the plans up just to hide away from change.
There’s a fire inside we all gotta break through, you wanna climb back in. You said you wanna run through all that's hazy and then proclivity breaks you.
You’ve wasted all of the prime you racked up. A false start led you to worry and now you’re always waiting to run. (You waste it all away through all your days spent hard to sway, you know you waste it all away and now you're waiting to run).
Destroyed potential in you. I spent the last days refining the exit for you to walk through.
You’re planning your words, you're three steps away. You set all the plans up just to hide away from change.

Quicksand Beach

A memory can recreate a moment that I wanna live without. There’s a shadow on the date, a curse within the state or a cloud upon the sound. But then a memory can cleanse me out my haze and bring me back, right where I wanna be.
I can’t bring it on back to the way a memory captures today. Falling on back on world of reflection is so free. We can’t understand who to be or why we all can’t find a way to bring it on back to the world of today.
I can’t bring it on back towards way a moment recaptures the day you folded on back to your world of reflection. It’s so free to try to remember to breathe and try to remember the way to bring it on back to the world of today.
The days passed on find their way to relevance. They all deserve a chance

Pinched Nerves
01:39

I need an escape, my walls are closing in. My time is spent wondering when I'll ever get away. I need an escape, my claws are wearing thin. My nights spent wondering how it ever got this way
And I can't take it, my mind’s escaping
And I can’t take it, my mind’s escaping
I need an escape to run from all the grey. My eyes strain separating shit from brilliancy.
I need an escape, a never ending spree of disappearing far into a place where I can breathe.
Cause I can't take it, my mind’s escaping
And I can’t take it, my mind’s escaping
Of all of the things that I need to get, I need to get away. Of all of the things that I need to get, I said I need to get away. I need to get away. I need to get away

Pine Barrens

I'm gonna make it out okay
I swear with each and every day I try, there'll be trouble in my life
And I drink the pain away but the high eats me alive
I spill all over concrete steps in the middle of July
And I struggle to remember the nights that carry on
In spite we swig ourselves head first towards another whiskey dawn
When 5:30 hit we still hadn't seen no sleep
We count the shards of shattered glass
And shoes slung over trees it's a disease
I hope I make it okay, I fuck up very often I just lied it's every goddamn day
The fear, it grapples with my mind. I sit at home, watching Withnail and
I and the irony of it can't help but be recognized
Its Antoinette engulfed in flames it's a sudden dramatic pause
We overuse the same motifs to communicate a loss
We pound our fucking skulls in thinking about how things should've been
The monsters under our bed fight the skeletons in our closet while we sleep
Can’t help but feel the weakness on my breath
I’ve had enough, I crush everything I love
I walk too many cultures to have faith in humanity
I see the heartless shit we do to escape from reality, it’s a disease
Home is where my heart is gone to shrivel up and die beside the shore
I don’t curse the cause I curse everything that doesn't become the cure
It's never gonna be okay, I'm pretty sure I'm drying up inside
Rigor mortis is on its way
And all this time I've lived life out of fear
Always being close enough to the confidence it takes to carry on here
