Keep Running Away
04:45

|

Keep running away from me
Odds are it's not a grand illusion
Keep running away
The truth can erase what you hold nearest and dear
And the distance you'll run will wrap around the sun
I'm a difficult man you say do what I can with observations
Just letting it be is not what I want but it's what I must
With no lines to sell, you show instead of tell
When you keep running away

When I Watch You Fade
02:46
|
|
||
When I watch you burn and I watch you fade
It takes everything that I have in me
Just to hold it in just to grin along
While you swim in it
While you swim in it
Throwing lifeless lines, tangents intertwined
When you crash and roll then you lose control
I keep vague and low for the context I know
You'll be reading this and you'll be hearing this
Watching you fade

Landfill World
04:25

Turned your world to a landfill
So long trees and room to breathe
Burned your world now it's a landfill
Farewell all these things I need
Sky somewhere beyond the fog and ash
Plow through each fork in the road
Will we adapt to carbon black outliving all our children?
Turned your world to a landfill
All those dreams just to fold
Burned your world now it's a landfill
See you around hell on earth

The Longer I Live
03:18
|
|
||
This is hopefully just a passing slew of growing pains
Overgrowth and how the neighborhoods have changed
I can't vent the way I want to with laws and all
The more I live the more I set myself to fall
Too shy or just plain stupid it's what I want whether I'm right or wrong
To vanish when you remind me
The spot I hold has been taken all along
Casting new shadows over the backyard
Through the new hi rise the sun doesn't shine i
I makes me wonder now more than ever
Isn't the longer I live next to known with the less I have to give?

Fashion

Fashion has taken its toll on me
Fashion distracts when fashion attacks
But when you have internal bleeding you can't listen when they tell you relax
She's lying on the pavement her boyfriend shouting "help"
Well what can you say when it's just how they relate?
You think I want to walk like you or submit to your commute?
Well, let's see this through, who is imitating who?
You think I want to take you down? Replace you from the inside out?
It's true, yeah it's only the truth
Fashion has taken its toll on me

Terminal velocity its terminal
Is this something that I need?
Or is it really everything that I can't quite get the hang of?
I'm standing with my arms extended
One step behind and one of my feet in front of me
It's still terminal
The last time that I saw you I pet you with this look
Knowing it would be the last
After all these breaks and after all these heartaches I'm still falling
At terminal velocity

Taken or Mistaken
04:01
|
|
||
Who's got the blues sitting alone out there
Against their will on a Paris flat?
It's circumscribed, a risk that we just can't describe
Taken or mistaken
Empty homes, the record skips
Who has made peace with their inner needs?
Breathe alone in an unlocked car
Was it picture-perfect on the surface?
Holding hands through a busy crowd
"All of them are taken" initial words
While only I'm mistaken
Crossing roads in our separate worlds

Silent Jury
02:59
|
|
||
Hello my dear, I am a mirror in which you appear
A vague reflection disarmed of protection
And through those eyes only you can lift the disguise
Alone in courtyards, burning postcards
And these are my strongest efforts to disappear
Into the silent jury
Always overturning into the silence
Because I've wasted breath and gave my word still nothing has churned
Their leaves of absence crumbled like ashes
And in this world I've seen more than just fangs that are curled
Deep into their authors, piercing their daughters
And this is my final attempt to disappear
Into the silent jury
Turning and turning and turning over and over again
Into the silence
