days alone
04:15
|
|||
|
sterile spirals in staccato steps
leaving empty atrium
quiet carving statuettes
figuring the things i need to impress
pick me up on the way
leave me where you cannot stay
i can't get out today
i can't find your secret
patient glassware grievances
frightened faithful days alone
my intentions fade anyway
flightless feelings can't venerate
bring me down so natural
still i watch my eyes are glued
i can't get away from you
tell me what you want me to do

losing license for sound
i smile clandestine
all the people around
make me kind of dizzy
i want to keep in touch
but i can't feel my body
maybe we could try again
when my nerves aren't so busy
my head keeps turning by itself
sorry it's just a reflex
there's no threat to be found
sorry i didn't greet you
i've been staring
out the window for a while
all i see
is a neutral blur
all this fuss to cut back
on drinking
yet i still find myself
blacking out
i'm sorry
i know it's weird
i'm still here i promise
just not right now

tepid heuristic
03:28
|
|||
|
severed from safe bets
can't reduce
seems to haunt me
so profuse
fire is building
time to burn
immolation
revelation
infighting is rife
i'm towing a line
sell multiple things
learn how to confine
grand vestiges grow
all over the soul
death comes into view
my heart
seen so easy
lame excuse
i'm no different
misconstrued
tepid heuristic
recursive sadistic
laughing passive
soak in sadness
in search of a place to hide
i lied one too many times
i hurt some people deep inside
i wanted someone to idolize
i left you waiting for a sign

red shadow ransoms
07:20
|
|||
|
i still sleep
till it's gone
when it's gone
and i can't recall the sky
red shadow ransoms
all my dreams
bleeding spirit shell
no more screams
i'm out of conviction
i thought i was dead that morning
the ground was falling apart
someone standing in the doorway
saw me as satan
then i woke and heard the walls
crumbling down
but it was just a flight overhead
so i folded my arms

goodbye from a car
04:23
|
|||
|
seek respite
just to find
anticipation
toss and turn
patterns emerge
more degradation
at the end of the day
there's still so much to say
tell me how can it wait
when it's all that's keeping me awake
waking up
hours before
anything needs me
it's been getting
later and later
my back is aching
sun goes down
as i leave my room
to a bigger version
no one here
maybe i should reach out
but i'm so tired
am i not trying enough
or do i try too hard
just can't seem to get past
the first goodbye from a car
more hesitation
|

8. |
useless?
03:52
|
|||
|
i won't be here to see
my own fate
so why do i proceed
with my shame
fall flat
running stupid
take back
what is useless
cut myself off mid thought
say again
lose my car keys biking
who to call
i'm on
hold for hours
bracing
for hang up
barren plains
blurring passing
heart contained
by the solstice
take my bones
if they keep me
locked in place
make me formless
