Horizon 02:18
You look like lipstick on a chalk outline, Caution tape bracelets round your wrists, Looking over the horizon of a steep decline, Because you swear it's the new trend. Well you can wear your noose just like a necklace Or you can follow footprints of giants you can't see, But the matching bruises on both our chests Cause you to question your belief in safety. So I hope you remember to think of me Before you kiss that asphalt When the road is burning for your skin. I'll keep my body loose. I'll stay relaxed and waiting While yours is being overused In you anticipating The bend in the metal, The break in the sky, The warning your father gave you the day I arrived, But you wouldn't listen. We went for a ride. I'm sorry I couldn't keep it inside the yellow lines. Perfume and gasoline, Burning incense for a holy cleanse. Slow your breathing. Hold it in. Do you know what you're fighting against? And there was a moment Before the impact When i saw everything again, And i looked through the cracks that grew, And I saw a piece of you, Just long enough to see There were cracks in you too

Bone over bone turn around in you grave Like you spun when you played at a much younger age And they'd be so surprised cause you look just the same Only difference is you've fallen out of your frame. So i guess you'll never know Where all the good things go And i guess you'll never see What's right in front of me. Oh will it ever be silent? Will it ever be dark enough to lose what we have found? You don't know where you are so you kick at the walls And the day you escape you start learning to walk And you get so upset when you stumble and fall but you'll learn its the same and means nothing at all. Oh will it ever be silent? Will it ever be dark enough to lose what we have found? Oh if i ask you a question And no body's around Does it seek out an answer or fall to the ground?

Sinking 03:30
When you walked through my wall Didn't know it was possible For both to take up the same space. I didn't know your name And when you looked my way I couldn't even make out a face. So dawn your white sheet And bare all your teeth So that i might not figure you out But you sound like a child When you cry from beneath You're not frightening anyone now. So touch my hand Negate my atoms Til we both just disappear. This was always the plan. Just let it happen. They will never know we were here. Thinking it out Might not be the best option For us to take right now. You've been sinking And i throw you life vests To bail you out. But sooner or later The flood gates will cave And you'll start thinking out loud. When you do all the ghosts In the room fill with rage When they hear you calling them out. So touch my hand Negate my atoms Til we both just disappear. This was always the plan. Just let it happen. They will never know we were here. This time the ship Will go down with the captain While you're watching from the peer. It was always the plan. Just let it happen. Let it happen. Don't waste my time if you're already gone. Don't waste my time

Wake Up 04:58
Holy ghost As he spoke to me, Leaned in close And he didn't say anything. I throw my fists against this post And still insist I saw that ghost. You suppose You know most anything Even though You haven't seen anything at all. You haven't seen anything at all. And if I don't wake up tomorrow, I'll pay back all the time I've borrowed Like everyone around me has to do. After everything there's nothing left to prove. There is nothing left to hold on to. There is nothing left to loose. And if you listen carefully, You can hear the planets as the turn On their way back to where they were. You can hear the planets as they turn. And if I don't wake up tomorrow, I'll pay back all the time I've borrowed Like everyone around me has to do. After everything there is nothing left to prove. There's nothing left to prove. And when you lay with the starlight You're part of the sunshine

Neverwinter 05:31
She doesn't want to be an artist. She wants to be the art herself And be the perfect inspiration For a perfect someone else. I can't stop you. No, you're always on the move. You can't resist the temptation Of something new. She wants to taste the air of a new state. She wants to kiss the sun of a golden coast. I stop you every time you try to go. She wants to see the bigger picture And hold this truth up close That she will fly across the ocean And feel the same on every coast. But you can't escape creation And the brush is in her hand So she paints the empty spaces And she starts to understand. I stop you every time you try to go. I hate you every time you tell me no. Don't you ever get too tired Of running round in circles Chasing your own tail And wondering where the time went. Don't you ever get too tired.
