Cursing Daylight
04:17
|
|||
|
Militant, marching on
Give up sleep, no break ‘til dawn
Cavalier ‘til coffee time
Indifferent ears on a friend of mine
Fall asleep to the FM waves
Fluorescent lights and a razor blade
These opened eyes have become a cage
So set me free
I am cursing daylight taken away from me, oh
I am cursing daylight could you please let me be
Oh, let me be
And let me sleep

Tepid Trepidation

Tepid Trepidation
When clouds scale the sky
And horizons fade to grey
The faint spectrum at the edge of the world
Red lit spires of our humanity
Reaching out across the land and sea
All these hopes and prayers for a sign
Now I fear that I have wasted mine
Tepid Trepidation
Passive Participation
Where there’s a will
There is a way
Keep your eyes to the ground
And feel insignificant
They say don't look down but they've got it all wrong
Thought I was a skeptic
Now I’m questioning it all
Will I be corrected?
Or just follow protocol
Do you believe?
In your own design?
Tepid Trepidation
Passive Participation
Contentious Calculation
Neglected Negotiation
Do you believe?
In a responsibility?
Where there’s a will
There is a way
Do you believe?
Where there’s a will
There is a way
Cast a friend down into the abyss
Give a rival a forsaken kiss

Take It Back
04:12
|

You can take it back
I don’t want it anymore
You can take it back
Making choices can be hard
Forcing complications of the heart
We can’t find
Common light
I should go
You can take it back
I don’t want it anymore
You can take it back
I gave up on dreams and ghosts
End the conversation now it’s gotten old
We can’t find
Common light
I should go
You can take it back
I don’t want it anymore
You can take it back
You can take it back
I don’t want it anymore
You can take it back
Take it back
Take it back

Wreck
03:34
|

|
I can’t provide
A definition
Of what it’s like
To have no ambition
So tear me down
Like a demolition
Break me down for scraps
I’m just a wreck
I’m just a wreck
I cannot focus
So I’m cashing out
I didn’t plan on failure
Or a sick self-doubt
These tangled wires
Just won’t let go
Now they’re catching fire
Which means…
I’m just a wreck
I’m just a wreck
These broken lines are a lost connection
There’re warning signs but the alarm’s not ringing
This monument is falling apart
Time’s running out
I’m just a wreck
I’m just a wreck

Clench
03:34
|

|
There’s a tension here that’s building
I can feel it in my bones
A rage that seems unfitting
Yeah, my jaw is wired closed
Don’t ever let it out
Just bury it inside
It’s scratching at the surface
It doesn’t want to hide
Test me, try me
Go on, push a little more
Angry, hungry
I can feel my teeth get sore
From clenching down
You’re the only reason why
So test me, try me, push me
‘Til I lose my mind
I can feel my patience thinning
I’m about to lose control
I'll keep it all together
But who knows if it'll hold
Test me, try me
Go on, push a little more
Angry, hungry
I can feel my teeth get sore
From clenching down
You’re the only reason why
So test me, try me, push me down
‘Til I lose my fucking mind
Yeah
Test me, try me
Go on, push a little more
Angry, hungry
I can feel my teeth get sore
From clenching down
you’re the only reason why
So test me, try me, push me down
‘Til I lose my fucking mind

I climbed a mountain
Did it on my own
No thanks to you, boss
You set me up to fail
I didn’t fall
I didn’t fall
I didn’t fall
I was fucking pushed
We’ve got the strength in numbers
We’ve got the strength in numbers
We’re coming for you
I climbed a mountain
Did it on my own
No thanks to you, fuck
You set me up to fail
We’ve got our strength in
We’ve got our strength in
We’ve got our strength in numbers
We’ve got the strength in numbers
Now we’re coming, now we’re coming for you
We’ve got the strength in numbers
We’re coming for you
We’re coming for you
We’re coming for you
We’re coming for YOU

I'm In Love
03:37
|
|||
|
I’m in love with a girl
And I don’t know how it feels to be without her
She’ll ask “why do you love me like I do?”
And I’ll reply that “it’s in everything you do”
That’s why I want to tell you that it’s true
That I’m in love
I believe in a world
Where people don’t repeat the only things they’ve heard
She’ll ask “why do you love me like I do?”
And I’ll reply that “it’s in everything you do”
That’s why I want to tell you that it’s true
That I’m in love with you
Instrumental break
“Why do you love me like I do?”
“Why?” “’Cause it’s in everything you do”
I want to tell you that it’s true
I’m in love

I’m in love with a girl
And I don’t know how it feels to be without her
She’ll ask “why do you love me like I do?”
And I’ll reply that “it’s in everything you do”
I’m just a wreck
This vessel’s run aground
We’re miles from the shore (I’m just a wreck)
My heartbeat used to pound (I’m just a wreck)
I can’t feel it anymore (there’s been an accident)

There's Been An Accident
04:15

We wake with the sunrise, get a start on the day
We kiss three times and I send you on your way
Reliving the moments that we get to share
I’m satisfied and blissfully unaware
There’s been an accident
I collapse to the pavement where my knees start to hurt
My trembling hands, white knuckles cased in dirt
I believe I’m a victim even though there’s no crime
I just want my family - can we travel back through time?
Stare into my eyes
Know that I’m afraid
How can I go on knowing life won’t be the same?
There’s been an accident
I don’t know all the details yet
Please talk to me, some questions need answers I can’t explain
Oh, there’s been an accident
But it’s too late
I found a reflection outside of a frame
I don’t need a mirror to remind me who remains
I have to surrender from screaming my prayers
My lungs are filling with the heaviest of air
Stare into my eyes
Know that I’m afraid
How can I go on knowing life won’t be the same?
There’s been an accident
I don’t know all the details yet
Please talk to me, some questions need answers I can’t explain
Oh, there’s been an accident
But it’s too late

Holes

I built an empire
Made of sticks and bones I found along the way
But now I’m so tired
All that’s left of my blood and sweat are just spiraling down the drain
Destroy what you know
See what you can build up to break again
Should I reap what I’ve sown
The hunger inside won’t let me decide so I’ll just leave it up to fate
I’m feeling old
Like I gave up a dream
The future is far too late
I’m left with holes
Where life used to be
This is not who I am
Ambitions seem to settle
Like an old paint they crack and peel away
Revealing wood and metal
Left to rot and rust for another day
I’m feeling old
Like I gave up a dream
The future is far too late
I’m left with holes
Where life used to be
This is not who I am
This vessel’s run aground
We’re miles from the shore
My heartbeat used to pound
I can’t feel it anymore
This vessel’s run aground
We’re miles from the shore
My heartbeat used to pound
I can’t feel it anymore

I Need
03:57

Leave me alone
I’ll be just fine
In a home that’s unsettling
Avoiding the phone
Trying to stay dry
Hardly responding
Packing a chest
Wrap it in string
A gift no one’s wanting
Keep all our things
like we agreed
yeah you can have everything
I need these hands
I need these eyes
My skin is worn
It’s cracked and dry
I need these ears
And I need these lips
Not just for work
But a life worth living
Take what you want
I don’t need anything
Tear me apart
Take what you need
I don’t want anything
Just spare me
I need these hands
I need these eyes
My skin is worn
It’s cracked and dry
I need these ears
And I need these lips
Not just for work
But a life worth living
Take what you want
I don’t need anything
Tear me apart
I don’t feel anything
Give up the ghost
I don’t feel like trying
They’re all I need
Leave them with me
