Days 03:49
I woke up on a park bench Dazed and confused The hands of my watch had just broken off And the face read one of two Oh lord I've done it now I got caught up in it Dear Vera my love I just left in the night Never to return again There I sat arguing politics Scratching at the roof of my coffin Egocentric selfish heretic die alone And be forgotten now Oh lord i strain to be I get lost in the fog Rolling through all of these memories As I'm cut down one by one Dear brothers there's nothing to fear here anymore Dear sisters there's nothing to fear Dear children there's nothing to fear here anymore Dear Daniel there's nothing to fear Down this road we trust our fates With hearts and minds so true The dragging of our feet will tear and pull And mold you through and through Oh I cast out The Lord by the river side My blood ran bright and red Disperse into the water without a sound in hopes the color of it Down this road we trust our fates With hearts and minds so blind Cause in this world there's love war and hate And hopes for better days And hopes for better days.....

Owls 04:57
You where perched on the highest tree Over terrain you saw this storm coming from miles away This change will set Permanent Just so charming, & lyrical With a quick witted smile and hands of the devil he denounced your heart A rock to the quarry Your body so vulnerable Oh my god Think of all the blood you'll inspire Passing time As you just count the days down Embrace the outcast The callus life This cancer is growing And kicking your braces down Get steady Get stable now Oh my god Think of all the blood you'll inspire Passing time As you just count the days down Something's wrong In light of what's transpired Something's wrong As you make your way out When you're finally awake Find your screaming to a halt Oh lord you need rest I've never seen such tired eyes Through all of these terrible terrible years Get steady Get stable now These sounds keep echoing Staggered beeps and LCD's These words keep me shaking Stunted speech an apology We just lost her When your finally awake Find your screaming to a halt Oh lord you need rest I've never seen such tired eyes Through all of these terrible terrible years Oh I've finally seen light and ending so bitter sweet When cavalcade of praise leaves much to desire I spent too much Time counting stars Spent too much time in my own head When a heartbeat divides into two Like a root erupts a tree from the ground My first breath catered your last As your body just began to breakdown What do you want from me, I've lived with this Shadowing every goddamn step of my past What could I even do, except live with this Till my body just begins breaking down

Branches 01:55
This world I live in Is a procession of numbers It's timing An equation My body A clock Wound to rotate Till time runs out I am complacent I am alone This world you live in Is a succession of numbers It's timing An equation Your body Is a clock And it's always winding down This is the beginning to an end

Balloons 04:31
Adeline, you sew your pride one stitch at a time Open wounds, wrapped in white Dressed in white Sad eyes, I don't believe you Bad lines, a cliche move Like I always do Shown me no regret You lie more than I would ever care to know prepare for this impact alone!!! Stand tall Why lovely? Be destroyed!! Cant breath in, stopped speaking! Fall down!! Why lovely? Be ignored!! God I can't count all the times I've been stuck here Racking my brain like an old spent well Calming my thoughts, bring me right back to reason Rationalities dead Heart of mine You get confused one beat at a time Just bleeding out, pouring out Sad eyes I I don't believe you You lie, nothing but overandoverandOVERANDOVER!!! I've shown my face so few times in hopes to exonerate But these mistakes I know I'll take to the grave I've shown my face so few times in hopes to exonerate But these mistakes I know I'll take And I knew that night As we stacked the bottles high It was over and I'd just end up alone Then I saw in your eyes What we had just went and died It was over and where better off Conforming, god screams Mend those broken hands As you shook it off and cracked the bones back into place As I sat counting broken promises And where better off Why lovely ?

Savages 05:23
I crumbled up mountains of paper Stacks of old metaphors and cliche lines 14 nights, 13 days of useless masonry I figured I'd step away for awhile Rest a torch on a caffeine deficiency See the miss behind the counter Kept my blood pumping for hours As I fight This war inside my head When I felt the slam of the door I couldn't help but think of dinosaurs As my shaking hands shot rings through my coffee Faced with lyrical extinction wells gone, lost its vision Let's hope they admire these bones for years When I finally heard your voice And caught a glimpse Of something vibrant and still Oh girl you hold a fashion Makes me weak at the knees And a body I would love too Learn Dear operator please Find the words to tell her Before she tries to tells me off STOP! I know where just savages Faulty gears in a machine Designed to rust and wear out You eat fuck and sleep You live by your teeth & Now I find it hard to breath Question every little thing Maybe we could just Sit and talk awhile Hell oh, darling hell oh How do you do? My thoughts and lungs turn melody to speech But any harmony smashed against my teeth Hell oh, darling how low I'm a fool I've always had such awful timing I've always had such a a awful t imi ng At the end of this demonstration I braced myself for impact Fearing the worst in verbal artillery But in this darkest of hours She carried nothing but a smile Looked towards the horizon boys The sun is coming up!! Damn girl you're everything Your all that I've wanted Damn girl you're everything I'd ever need So I sharpen up this wicked tongue & Move in for the kill Straighten my posture Intellect, and finest style My diction speaks chills As your body just screams Dear I'm just lonely Anxiety ridden These hands don't stop shaking LIAR!! THIS ISN'T YOU!! Dear operator Find the words to tell her Before she tries to tell me Dear operator Please STOP!! I've been losing so much sleep Cause I've gone mad sinking deep In the depths of my mind I'm afraid of my mind I Know This Won't Mean A Thing!!

Cats 04:17
I woke up with A fucking new found sense Of entitlement And all these nights spent All alone and content Waiting just for the end (Bodies) Broken over (Years of) Countless defeat (As I ) Banded my wounds (And waited) For these legs to return As the seasons slowly turn I became who I've always loathed With an overwhelming urge To be profound and irrelevant You don't hold a candle to me baby Trust me when I say, we're better off Just better off Cause I can't dig Deep enough in a life time (Darling are ya coming home tell me are you coming home? Darling are ya coming home?) I cant think Hard enough to change anything (Darling are ya coming home tell me are you coming home? Darling are ya coming home?) DARLING ARE YOU COMING HOME?! (FEAR) Everything I (AND HATE) Ever truly loved (TILL YOUR) On your final breath (FEAR) Has taken over (AND HATE) Every part of me (I KNOW) There's just more to this Born with One foot in the ground, Born with One foot in the ground... This pessimistic mouth Won't stop spewing out Excuses for all my short comings A child throwing crayons Frustrated by what I am Just an honest protagonist Ba-ba, ba-ba... Born with, one foot in the ground Standing on the sidelines always thinking Minds struck the body with paralysis again Born with, one foot in the ground And the older I get, the worse it is...

Stairs 05:08
Vera We're constantly at war in these ideals With tongues like knives Pushed deeper and deeper Every syllable, a twist of the handle You decide just how empty we can make this I disdain What a callow excuse for a human being You decide Just how exhausting we can make this I disdain For good As I sat and watched the leaves roll by A tree achromatic and bare If it lives through winter I wonder did it every really miss a thing Goodbye to sleep Lie to me Tell me it'll all just be alright Lie to me It'll all just be alright We'll I never felt a feeling like this And it burns a hole right through my stomach As I fall asleep We'll I never felt a feeling like this one and it's turning my insides to ashes as I fall asleep You don't entertain Failing lines Negate I don't instigate Stealing ground with hate You've been caught up sick for days Lord all this punishment Rings permanent And I'm through with you So cunning and cavalier Even when death is near It wont mean a thing JUST GET FUCKING OVER IT I do love you But I've got so goddam much to say to you Just know I will never love again Vera, Don't I'm losing it Nothing ever shined as bright as it did From that day forward I've lived in a memory A fog A photo A simpler time An idea I've reiterated to myself over and over Because I'm too afraid to face the demons of the present Cowardice, an illness A crippling condition that's plagued me for decades I stopped sleeping cause I would only end up tired I stopped eating cause I knew I would only be hungry I stopped talking cause I was afraid to say something condemning I stopped drinking cause I knew I would only be thirsty I Stopped living cause I was afraid of death As I counted the stairs on the way up I just couldn't understand There was time here......... As I counted the stairs on the way up I just couldn't understand Remember the escape There was time here......... As I counted the stairs on the way up I just couldn't understand

Ghosts 04:08
When I fell to the frozen ground Tremors shook right through my spine As I played dead for awhile And now I wish the snow would cover me in full In big white mountainous droves So I can be one of the buried, one of the accounted for Cause that wont make no difference tonight To a dread filled valentine Through sorrow and wind this ship will hold against the storm For a cast away that's been chasing ghosts An I said to myself The sky looks so bright yet dull Like ashes scarring a bowl From that cigarette I smoked that night in the emergency room Goddamn this body's failed again I'm over it conformed to it And always when the shit all hits the fan Your up and gone Cause that won't make no difference tonight To a dread filled valentine Through sorrow and wind this ship will hold against the storm For a cast away that's been chasing ghosts Head in the sink God screams expel everything Body a wreck Like a child you just throw it all away The end of everything Cause that wont make no difference tonight To a dread filled valentine Through sorrow and wind this ship will hold against the storm For a cast away that's been chasing ghosts

Nights 04:08
I watched the world Tear it's self apart from a school desk circa 1941 And I knew That I broke that young girls heart in a coffee shop circa 1954 But that was then And now is now Set fire to the present cause They learned just to smoke you out Given all your sins and prior consequences Don't you say it gets better tomorrow Don't you try and make light of today Cause I spent all night writing down all these sins In hopes the good lord can for give and forget And you get use to counting the seconds the minutes the hours the god damn years And you would give anything to remember anything But that was then And now is now Set fire to the vagabond the one the world could do without Given all you've wronged Who would care your gone I spent every night staring at lurid maps Wondering the colors of sights ill never see I've packed all my bags and polished on my finest shoes Waiting for the dismal life to catch me in my sleep I'm frightened and cold Violently bold Swear I'll burn this awful place Right to the god damn ground I've lost it again Tossed all this water Know these stones that I throw won't mean a thing Don't you say it gets better tomorrow Don't you try and make light of today Cause I spent all night writing down all these sins In hopes the good lord can forgive and forget Don't you say it gets better tomorrow Don't you try and make light of today Cause i spent all night writing down everything To know that this is finally The end
