1.
I don’t think I’ll ever understand Just what happened to us The water started to boil Before I ever noticed I never wanted to be a line cliche But I never had a say I don’t want to hear any more sad songs I just want to be hinged by spine Learned by now that nothing stays the same Wounds heal, scars remain I don’t think I’ll ever be the same But I’m quite alright with that Us and me, and you and us A two-part ouroboros We never wanted to take a look inside Now there’s no place left to hide Watching the sky turn into broken lines I guess some things are meant to be left behind
2.
I’ll follow you down the stairs Towards a certain doom that I’ve been waiting for It’s preset A longing urge, a scourge gone long A longing urge, a longing gone Fill yourself on me I’ll take what’s left Fill yourself on me I’ll take the rest Ouroboros I’m anxious all the time Holding tight to a cold and ancient tome But it’s no help A longing urge, a scourge gone long I watch you fade until you're gone I’m following you down the stairs I’m following you downstairs
3.
Summertime was here again I waited in the rain My hair was long, your eyes were wild I play it back again Do you ever wonder what it might have been? Our bus was late, our patience worn The day felt like a year You whispered something in my ear My stomach slipped a gear I play it backwards just to hear We're always walking into sliding doors That were open just one minute before The path before you splits and snakes A five-pointed approach you take Winding patterns, sliding doors
4.
The door opens up to show a beautiful landscape, bright and temperate framed in a painting on a dull grey wall crooked in a freezing room but each step takes days and miles wracked and hungry, fucked and tired and on a closer look the frame is cracked and warped and image of illusion ready to fall Nothing is simple, nothing is easy Even in a search for nothing You’ll reach to find that there’s always something Out the corner of your eye you see a tiny little dot pulls your focus, kills your instincts, a living buzzing hive still each step takes days and miles wearing downward, an aching fracture until you finally arrive to the edge of a precipice crumbling, plunging, broken, ready to fall
5.
BFD 02:31
I woke up early just to watch you sleep all day Bided my time hoping that it wasn't a waste But you never opened your eyes and I gave up on suicide time Placed on a pedestal with reasoning illogical Until the day faded away I wonder why can't you just go along for the ride sometimes? Why's it always gotta be a big deal? Why have I always gotta be playing the heel? I had such high hopes stepping softly into the night I thought this one time everything would work out alright But I never say what I feel and you're always stealing the deal But everything's impossible with never ending obstacles Watch the night turn to light A replacement for a conversation in disgust You find out hell is other people Pacing back and forth in front of everyone that you know
6.
All I ever wanted was a seat in front of the hi-fi Guitars panned wide and those harmonies gliding right by You can say it’s a waste of time But I’ve gotta live inside of this mind So I’ll sit right here with my feet up in front of the hi-fi All I ever wanted was to sing along from that back seat Hotboxed out, Krispee Chris holding down the backbeat We drive along these same old streets To the unknown ends that we all meet But there’s nothing wrong with singing along from the back seat And there’s nothing like that sound To turn you right around And there’s nothing like that sound To flip you upside down
7.
Lens 03:25
I wish I could take off this lens See the world for what it really is I wish I could take off this lens When I was twelve I saw the world In broken patterns of black and white Afraid of nothing but those disapproving looks When you turned 25 I thought That you’d given into selfish gains But I saw you shift and rise above the frame Shifting tides turned down When I moved out and took that trip Headed east with all my things I couldn’t see ahead but knew no other way When you closed your eyes and took off Into that fateful plunge You told me, friend, just wait and see How it might be Shifting tides, black hole Every doubt is a threat Every thread gets pulled Every step you take alone Is a step that leads back home
8.
Every single day it's been since you showed your teeth pearled white pointed daggers bearing down on top of me but if I turn my back to you you'll start to disappear but the sudden horror holds my gaze I fall into nadir this all will pass I wish I didn't know you I wish you didn't know my name I wish I didn't know you I can feel it gaining slowly making ground on me I can feel it gaining Every single word that reels from your wretched mouth pointed daggers exploding shrapnel gurgling in a vomit shout with no purpose but to spread a virus of blind intent a worldview shit without reason wretched and worn out this all will pass You keep me thinking the worst thoughts stoic like a nail in the eye I keep thinking the worst thoughts
9.
Other Places 01:59
(instrumental)
10.
Watching yourself from above stumbling through an alley Leaning wide and mentally thin, the drunkest you have ever been Watching the screen from the side, you talked all through the movie Pick the scab til you spill the blood of the only one you ever loved And you can blame your friends for the shots they slipped but you put it to your own lips Are you really alone? Are you ever really on your own? Are you really alone? Just save it til you're home Waking up late with a nail in your head, pounding through your temple Never repeat, a promise unsaid, then that night you're there again Making your way to the front of the crowd, but looking for an exit Say the worse thing that comes to mind, even as you fall behind And you can blame those words for the wounds they hit but they fell out of your own lips
11.
Coming True 03:34
When I close off from the outside Shut the doors of my mind so tight Lock the door and bolt the windows Block out the light Then I can hear a train that’s running Hauling by at unreal speeds But when you’re on it Then the pace feels like Just like nothing at all, nothing at all The tracks run out my mouth And onto my hands What’s a boy to do? The spikes keep us safe Still I’m coming true Straight through to you
12.
I thought I could handle whatever came my way But you found out the hard way I thought I could be a pillar for you to lean on But you ended up on the concrete Now I’m floating with no direction You know it’s true The only way out is through I thought I could handle the icebergs in my way But I crashed hard turning sideways I wanted to be a beacon for all to see But I tripped over a sunbeam
