In the Moment
03:34

i’ve got a feeling inside my ear
you're falling behind
i've got this feeling in my left ear
leave it alone
all these things that I held so dear
are pushing away just out of arms length
i’ve found a sound that I just can't hear
‘you're never alone’
i never know what to say till it's over
what to do till it's gone
how to act in the moment
how to stop till I'm going
I never knew hopes were made to be broken
life could be so short
how to act in the moment
I just didn’t know where to start (to start myself)
all these leaves beneath my feet
i don't have the time to turn every one
though the stems how they run so deep
just like the veins blue and out of reach
she plans on harvesting your skin
she needs to know if she can crawl inside
this is all we know
i didn’t know we could be so vengeful
i never knew a grudge would last so long
i never knew how to act in the moment
i didn’t know you as well as I thought
i didn’t know much of all the equations
my heart beats ninety five a minute
i didn't know what to say at the moment
i just stood there, bewildered

Synthesized Distress
07:01

ambition faltered like a fading analogy
that's all we need
i know how to let go
all i know is how
so i erased myself, i shrieked and hid; you sniveling little
i'm coming down. i'm calming down. i'll come inside.
bargain basement, these clothes don't fit no more
i can't hear your accent. i heard it got quite bored
or drowned in merit, those phony phonetics you've adored.
you're such a dork.
while i'm sleeping, those elves do come and play
i scare them away. oh lord god why today.
while we're thinking that we're sinking
everyone starts quoting scripture
all of them are slowly sinking
spouting their nomenclature
we'll be mostly naked
thinking "where the hell did all our clothes go?"
all of them are thinking,
"oh, this dopamine is wearing thin now."
i've been thinking i'll go out with a bang
and see these wars you fight but never gain
i'm going over the concern you've adorned
god what a dork
i will watch my feet drag across the floor.
i'll gain a charge and i'll meet you by the door.
while we're mending broken bridges
everyone shrieks and hides and
all of them are coping, trying
to hold all their salty tears in
we'll erode the shore that led us
to this hostile confrontation
all of them are thinking, "this dopamine is wearing thin now"
we've been stripped back
we know that this is how we're supposed to end up
reminding us of what we once were and how we'll never return

C4

can we be introspective without coming off as needy?
stare inside, there's nothing but dirt here, there's nothing but mud and
the air we breath is tainted by those who are sullied with greed
so can we be introspective without coming off as corny?
there's no way out.
there can be no compromise
there’s no freedom bursting of me
there’s no foreseeable way out.
as for me and all the others, we're banding together
to see if we even matter as a faction
where we failed as one, will be succeed when we are many?
most experiments conducted end up failing.
attract the flies with the honey; attract by attrition.
we failed the test, we smoked the stars.
have you forgotten what you are?
bring the light, i'll bring c4.
we'll show ourselves up, if we don't blow ourselves up--
how dare we lead knowing full how much we tend to bleed, well,
every shell shall break and every lawn we're gonna learn to make,
so goes all of gods humble, and not so, concoctions and
can we be used for the short time we have left to dwell here?
there's no escape
there can be no time rewind
there's no answers bursting out of me
there's no clean and easy escape
there's no time to waste
we'll gut the whole world
we'll implant the wound
lick my lips, all i taste is isobutylene

escape

threw away all the pictures of you and me
i cleared them all out of my mind, thats my only guarantee
running through the ocean saying ‘hi’ to the fish in the sea
all the crustaceans recognize hyperbole
from the bayou to the capital of tennessee
rings the echo of my sorrow of the fatality
but you are gone
all the times we faced alone
all the times are fading
its been a while and your face is leaving my memory
its been a while and your face is escaping my memory
sad brown eyes pierce right through me
no expression tells correctly the amount of worry
i have something to say to the deity
wound me if you must but stay away from my family
but you are gone
all the times we faced alone
all the times have faded
its been a while and believe me this is out of necessity
your face has escaped my memory
please believe me
this is necessity

Bored with us
03:04
|

been on top of the bottom of the world looking down on people looking up
it's all very ominous: the powers that be are bored with us
high atop their mountain of filth made from broken lives and broken hope
it's extremely obvious: the realm of nostradamus
i've heard that shrill horn of fate tell the future is what past did make
and we'll just have to learn to wait.. stall the dagger with the cape
we can go round and round 'tll hell swallows us whole.
if you say ‘we're bound by will" just one more time; let me interrupt you
i feel that ships already sunk
what worked for you didn't work for me. could you please kindly sit quietly
i'm tired of this debauchery
because the clock is ticking down towards out inevitable fate
i feel i won't get more than i can take
we can go round and round 'tll hell swallows us whole
we could get really hard lined, corrosive empires would have nothing on us
or we could lay our heads down, bury them with sand and pray it goes away
but we know it wont

Believe
03:06

theres places that we're running from
theres places that we drown with rum
those places, they're troublesome
those places that you're running from
you can't spell believe without the lie
the people that we have become
these people will not be outdone
these people, they all have guns
these people that we have become
we can't spell believe without the lie
the keg beneath all this distrust combusts and circles only your lies
did you think i am so swiftly fooled by the lost look in your eyes?
look around only to see that there is nothing left here for me
oh so sad to see they are reminders of my lack of degree
the spiders on the walls agree
though they'd say nothing ill about me
life is the web we can see
we’re all tangled up and can't break free
how quickly we live to forget
these decisions we’ll learn to regret
these webs, they should make you fret
and like webs, life exists only to bring death
but you can't spell believe without the lie.
if you knew me, you would know where i was coming from when i pout
but instead you’ve got no recollection to what i’m all about
you think thats bad? try being so narcissistic day in, day out
i’m the one who is ostensibly a cardboard cutout.
i’m now alone and my covers been blown. i say, ‘you don't know me’
twisting the phone and i swear i’ll atone but the voice is disagreeing.
‘my how you've grown, you faced the unknown. but your lies have become you’
"i've reaped what i've sown, cuz i threw the first stone. but you can't believe the lie’

Messing Around
01:50
|

thinking aloud, nothings worrying me
the pale blue sky; omnipresent birds, they sing
breaking my oath and dragging a sound
signs of my illness bouncing all around
i’m walking this road with my feet on the ground
ignoring strife that clearly abounds
stop and smile, to toss out this same frown
i wouldn't do that, i'm just fucking around
the end of the day is coming around
tossing facades like a ball hits the ground
please come in, but don't be making a sound
i'm not asleep, i'm just fucking around
thinking aloud, nothings worrying me
the pale dead sky; all the lies they can't see

Grasp

i thought i found it here, just beneath the tide
the rocks were warm. they were close and taut
seems i found the answer to a question i never asked
even now i don’t wanna hear this shit come out my mouth
cuz i have drowned
this is my fallacy. this is my destiny.
grasping at strawmen till my heart is empty
tired and vacant eyes, they stare
this is idolatry. this is killing me.
grasping at strawman till my heart is empty
tired and vacant eyes, they stare
all i’ve figured out is nothing at all. even the insects have passed me by
when the cold truth looked me right in the eye
its gaze was one of those paralyzing visions
its a stone to hurl. this ground was bound to break
from a clear lack of canines in the sun
you’ve got to accept this. you’ve got to rewrite
this is my fallacy. this is my destiny.
grasping at strawmen till my heart is empty
tired and vacant eyes, they stare
replace this. rewrite this.
grasping at strawmen till my heart is empty
tired and vacant eyes, they stare

Little Boy
04:08

i’m physically fine but mentally fallen apart
the way that things ended didn’t have to be my spark
i must have thought it was right to think everyone else is wrong
so i said, ‘please seperate yourself from me.’
but why must i? i’m just a little boy
lost in my mind i’m alone in all the time
i’ve worked so hard at this and that. i’m still alone.
tried to take the tit for tat. it’s not enough.
wrote the full of my heart down as it broke.
transcribed my thoughts because i believed in something more than this
it didn’t show
looking back, i thought too much. everything i had was something i just didn’t want
looking back, i had too much. every thought i had was one that i just didn’t want
but why must i? i’m just a little boy.
lost in my mind that i dwell in all the time.
but how can i, frustrated little boy?
compare with men that i’ve read so much on.
