Spire
02:51
|

|
When the spire fell
Many shed their tears
Everything to come was
Seen in the flame
Soon to say goodbye
Years then felt like months
Wishing to let go of
Body and form
Heavy crises reign
How long will it fall?
Have you known one to care?
Then throw it all away
Had to get out now
Oceans of illusion
It's so quiet
Before to long
It never was
When the spire fell
Many shed their tears
Everything to come
Who would have known?

Weakest Link
03:51

Love
I feel there's something wrong
As if you've gone away
Lost in a haze
For so long
Soften your eye
Why lust for life?
What is this feeling?
Can it be thrown aside
One more time
I feel so alone
When I lose my mind
Within this mess
We're simply not living
For you
I'm broken and bent
Staring down my fear
It's only my
Weakest Link
Soften your eye
Stop holding on
What is this feeling?
Can it be your love?
I know you're love
The eye reflecting on
All of us
Love
I feel you now so clear
As if you're always here
No fear in my
Weakest Link
I'll be alone again
Getting lost in the mess
What's that to live for?
For you

I'm in a Band
03:45
|
|||
|
I was in a band
Our own little world
With no direction or way
We held a sound
And a dream's reflection
Trust me
I'll trust you
That's how it had to stay
My friends
Cause the pain of reaching for more
Is forever
We were deep
In those fleeting days
Nobody knew it happened
But most of all
This time with my friends
Was like
I'm in a band
I'm in a band
It's your band
I'm in a band
It's my band
Sometimes I hear
Our voice
The one we left behind
Did you know this love
Is our ride or die
Can you feel the rain
On those southern nights
I still see you there
While the tears fell
Down his face
That was only the start
Coming to an end
Sensing it was
Real and pretend
All at once
And forever
We were deep in those fleeting days
Nobody knew it happened
But most of all
This time with my friends
Was like
I'm in a band
I'm in a band
It's your band
I'm in a band
It's my band

The Beat
04:09
|
|||
|
Unseen a sight to see
Never hide the beat
So fine so mellow
The color and the sound
With your back to the sun
Prisms dancing on the light
The spaces the faces
No more letting yourself down
Faded shade
Empty ways
Roles to play
Spread too thin
Another spin
Under your skin
Sorting through
The shame in passing phases
Time spent
No regret
Life on the beat
Make it alright
Few words go a long way
They're floating right on by
Someone's in need of
The things we forget to say
There's so much to share with you
From the edges of sanity
Expressions expansions
No more letting yourself down
Faded shade
Empty ways
Roles to play
Spread too thin
Another spin
Under your skin
Sorting through
The shame in passing phases
Time spent
No regret
Life on the beat
Make it alright

Boogie Down
03:47
|
|||
|
I won't start with you that easy
And it's known you cannot see straight
But this time next year you won't be here so
Why the boogie down?
Forever eighteen
Everything you've done is wrong
No sense of yourself
Your life just watered down
Is this what failing looked like to you?
I do wonder if you know
The ones you've taken through the roll
But for now you cannot ask for more so
Why the boogie down?
Brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers
You've always pushed them to get ahead
And again you fall back on your face so
Why the boogie down?
Sixty years
Everything you've done is wrong
No sense of yourself
Your life just watered down
Is this what you thought it would be like?
Who are you?
I know you know that
Your life would be better
Without you there
And after all
After lying for so long
You have to admit
It's what makes you hate
Is this what makes you hate?
What I'm trying to say is
Look you got what you wanted so
Why you always so mad like that?
And why the boogie down?
Given so many chances
Is this that grudge that turns you away?
Why so much hate?
There's enough in this world so
Why the boogie down?
Down

Sea
03:55
|

|
I won't let go
I'll be there for you always
But holding on will only
Go so far
You can't find the words
To say
My love is a sea
And you're there
Floating as the sky peels away
And you are seeing me
Amongst everything
How long do we have
Are you trying to say
That life and love will transcend sea?
I can't let go
I long to know what is there
I feel that boundary
What I see and what you know
You wont need the words
To say
My love is a sea
And you're there
Floating as the sky drifts away
And you are seeing me
In everything
How long do we have
Are you trying to say
That life and love will transcend sea?

Bubble
04:19
|

|
Lost in the shade
Jealousy
Is reaching in
To what length
Will you let
The bubble take you?
(Who) made the change
Shut you out
Of your own head?
No bubble is the same
Someone remains
That doesn't know
Everything you once loved
Now it runs our shows
Does it take shape or
Does it shape space
As in what is life without this
Sinuous descent of
Doubting myself
That bubble makes it
Hard to see
Thoughts out of place
For everyone
Focus is gone
What you hear
Is only
From what they've seen
Slight of hand
knocks me down
I'm motionless
Blocks in my brain
Laying weight
On all my love
I
Cant think
Cant Dream
(Who) made the change
Shut you out
Of your own head?
No bubble is the same
Someone remains
That doesn't know
Everything you once loved
Now it runs our shows
Does it take shape or
Does it shape space
As in what is life without this
Sinuous descent of
Doubting myself
Makes it so hard to see
When the bubble
Breaks you up
So much time
Transgressed
By visions so dark
Traps this life
When the bubble
Breaks up
Out of the material
There is no space
Between
There is no space
Between

Get Along

That velveteen rabbit
Chasing the ends of my body
Shaking with disarray
She speaks so low
Will it feel right
When thoughts unfold
Do you love yourself?
Even when you're not there
Get along get along get along with you
Body and mind
It gets the best of you
When thoughts unfold
If it's only one way from here
Let me feel it out
Mistakes mistakes mistakes
Just to let it go
No one ever looks back
When thoughts unfold

Four Loves
03:44
|
|||
|
Before doubt sets in
My mind craves to step
Out of bounds
See through this day
To other places
You may be
We cope with problems
Of our own
Easy to push aside
It always returns
To you I am nothing more
Than a moments envy
Maybe I'm just blue
No time allows
Four Loves
Not a time
You can see now
And then I crumble
As you reveal yourself
Do we ever know
The signs besides
Inside us?
What is this cycle?
Where is our place?
Can it just be nothing?
In the clouds
I fall apart
Do I rise with you
Or ride at all?
Accept the thought
I'll never know you
Our place is
Somewhere after death
Easy to push aside
It always returns
To you I am nothing more
Than a moment in time
Maybe I'm still blue
No time allows
Four Loves
Not a time
You can see now

Weight of Failure
02:27
|
|||
|
One by one they
Look for the riddles in their heads
A chance to shine
In their lame fantasy
Step into one line
Are we the tongue tied?
Who bears the weight of failure?
Is this cause for true concern?
And for tomorrow
New demagogue show who to spite
More ways to whine
We think for ourselves
Fall in the next line
Are we the tongue tied?
Who bears the weight of failure?
Is this cause for true concern?
Distorted lines so divided
Spread their failure
While the rest feel the weight
All I know is that today
I feel it now

No Easy Way Out

Today
Crisis guides
Deception that yesterday is over
No easy way out
So easily in
Sell us short
Intensify addiction
Our truth holding down
Hard ways set this stage
Peace of mind wont fade
This life crisis built
Nothing left to crave
Power and frailty
Now you're just no one
No easy way out
No easy way out
Today
The earth dies
How many cries
Will it wake
Sacrifice and stay
Keep your head down and go
The only way
We amplify conviction
Our truth holding down
Hard ways set this stage
Peace of mind wont fade
This life crisis built
Nothing left to crave
Power and frailty
Now you're just no one

At the friends-giving last night
The queen in her gown
What will they do
How deep do they fall
Before they start to care?
Tripping
Suffocated
By the deep surface
We wait all day but I needed that fix
That fix I don't know about you
But I needed that
Our creator taken lightly
The energy we crave
Beneath his wrinkled gown
Torn edge of a room
Without care
The culmination
He pleads to die
The followers expectation
The culmination of surface fallacy
They've had enough
The calloused thumb is
Pruned and sucked
From inside they weep
They built the pedestal
But it must come down
Look here
The lonely parasite presented
We watch it decay
Our queen taken lightly
There she is
Misinterpreted
Unsure of self
Characters regurgitated
Over and over and
Over and over and
Over and over
Tripping
I need help
I need help
It's so hard to be me
(Where did she come from?)
I need help
I need help
It's so hard that they crave me
I need help
I need help
There I am
You're right
I need help
His own universal truth
He keeps the irony
How does he share the body?
We crave him
There she is
We crave him
We've been waiting all day
As long as he entertains
I don't know about you
But it's ok they suffer
From our piggyback
Piggyback
What will they do next?
I'm free from self
Won't suffer anymore
Starts to care
To smell the flowers
Will break the spell
Piled in filth
There the lonely parasite presented
From inside
She weeps
"I'll curl up forever"
He must die
For I must live
Is it so hard
To be me?
He must die
For I must live
Without self
Tear away the pillow
Is it so hard to be me?

My career is so important to me
Every follower that I got
Gets me one step closer to my ideal
I'm an influencer with a place of status
But you already knew that
I live in a big city and comment
Gold medal emojis
Wherever I deem worthy
They yearn for my acceptance and validation
I'm making history with every movement
Every follow every like and every post
I will repeat these actions until I die
Because I wont die
I'll forever live in the content
No love just thirst for all things blind
My life matters most
I'm the golden boy
I have famous friends that
I'll follow to oblivion
Because the truth is
I can't build anything on my own
I depend on them to bleed me
Of what's genuine and
Fill my ego
Our friendship is dead
I'm happy when I see your struggle
And loath in your success
I'll never listen to
That new shit you dropped
And I never will
Mr & Mrs. Means-to-an-end
That's my name
Because it's all about me
You know I'm already checked out of here
I'm too good for it
And most certainly you
I suck but my goal is viral
Exploit you
Exploit me
Fill me to the top with this hit
I don't like when others have nice things
But thankfully I know it's only me
No love just thirst for all things blind
This toxicity feeds me
And most of all
Knowing that you don't have what I have
I'm not lucky it's clearly my reality
My life matters
It's funny how I always am right
I'll stay here in my box
And connect in a way
That doesn't connect at all
No love
No love
Just thirst for
All things blind
