darkest point 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Lost lover I found in you Something darker Them bad things There are bad things On my mind This time Can't hide From all the dark ones They find their way back Fight their way back Concede defeat Realize our demise Let it go Oh no I can't let it go Oh no Can't let it go These sharks and minnows It's all breaking in my hands The bland This is the end Of the Beginning Of something else To condemn But even now In the face Of the living I'm the clown Laughing All the way down

skunk dream 03:42
lyrics
buy track
I'm watching life Through a silver screen I know it's dumb But I think it means Well well well Load up the skunk dream On and on it wreaks Take back the sorrow You've been forced to borrow I'm sitting back now Wading through the stream Low I am And wide-minded I've tried forgetting And I failed the test What was I to you A bottom-feeding pest Out in the backyard Digging my own grave Leave it to the muscles To fail on you Teeth are for bitting And eyes for sight The moment I saw you I had to take a bite Relax in heating Over open holes I've sensed the pounding A heart in the throes Load up the skunk dream On and on it wreaks Take back the sorrow You've been forced to borrow Load up the skunk dream On and on it wreaks

she's nice 03:30
lyrics

She brought me water when I Was thirsty and dried up I thought that I was out of place Twisted broken and defaced She's just that kind of girl The one that makes sure you don't End up sinking in quicksand Blinking out of time This life is all we got Can't be learned it's all self-taught Tie your shoes and plot the plot Moving on with what we've got I know it's something big Your swollen lip it twitched a bit Telling me you're missing him But you still want me too Like a rerun on the tube Like a rerun on the tube My girl she's nice But she doesn't think twice My girl she's not The kind to tell lies Tell lies She taught me how to grow up When I was making a fuss Sometimes things just aren't as big As big as they seem She's not that kind of girl The one that makes sure you don't Pan out with a happy end Catching up with all your friends This time is all we got Won't be stirred and then forgot Wet shoes wet soles and wet socks Lose your love restart the clock I know it's silly that I Want to be close to you When you've been pulling out of frame Spending all your time away Living like a hollow cave Living like a hollow cave My girl she's nice But she doesn't think twice My girl she's not The kind to tell lies Tell lies My girl she's not The kind to be nice My girl she lies And she doesn't care why Care why

pixels in motion 03:42
lyrics

You're catching your breath when The TV's on The pixels in motion The day's half gone How can you sleep With choked hopes On repeat Now's not the time to sit back and unwind I'm hopeless and jaded When morning comes The flicker got faded Smashed into crumbs How can you sleep With choked hopes On repeat Now's not the time to sit back and unwind And this is the road We've paved Got tripped up In your maze I'm the dog With the careless face Am I still the thing That brings you joy Your holographic wonder boy Pill bottle heart destroyed Will I ever see you smile again I don't think it's a game I can win Will I ever see you smile again I don't think it's a game I can win I don't think it's a game I can win

blaming days 06:53
lyrics
buy track
All about you and me Let's tease the size And eat the meat Bursting with wine and deceit Its all a lie of comfort and sweet Lovely ones who kiss on the cheek We're running wise in the street smart Losing teeth and breaking records All about the lasting feelings Losing out with no one watching Bowing out the sides keep turning Owning up to all our problems Zoning out the blaring burdens Oh- Soaking up the tears and bubbles Bubbling out of orifices Cumming when I came in climax She's rearing up her perfect moment It's all a dream of ugly perfume Cloning all our dreams and virtues Stamping out the burning torches Hearing only what you wanted I am here but only briefly You were there sobbing freely Weeping mad and oh my gosh trees The ties we had have fallen limply It's fading in the holy preface The blaming days are all we’re left with Oh- One of these days Gonna make my way Back home Am I just the ghost Oh my old self One of these days Gonna make my way Back home Oh-

you act 03:58
lyrics

Some people call me overprotective That's not it I'm just a little dejected About these scenes We've all been projecting Some sick new kind of lessons Learning the hard way's The best way I guess that's what they say Anyways I'm always restless My legs keep walking in no clear direction You wanted someone to blame We keep playing This stupid game We've wasted enough time Fought so hard We've spent our whole life I'm not no knight in armor Not here to be your sacred charmer Just a wailing constant alarmer All these dirty deeds Disarmed her Lower your solid guard So this young boy Can trash the garden Living out these outstanding cruelties Just trying to fool my way Through the gates of heaven You wanted someone to blame We keep playing This stupid game We've wasted enough time Fought so hard We've spent our whole life Say it like you mean it Give me a reason To take back My decision To play back This mess we made You act like a saint But we're both the same It's a shame It had to end this way

humanatee 03:28

All caught up in humanity Where we gonna go To wash our feet Don't look now It's reality Barreling towards Your back at least Won't have time For humility Now pick up the pieces And plant a tree Don't lose sight of validity Might not matter But you do to me Oh oh oh Humanatee What's it gonna mean to be Oh oh oh Curiosity We fell down but We're back on our feet Oh no no It's in front of me That sweet creature From the endless sea Something deep got ahold of me Take me back to the beginning All caught up in your vanity Looking at yourself But you don't see All the flaws in your fallacy Searching for that chance But it's out of reach Don't give up on that levity Sharpening your wit With brevity Don't be afraid to fail you see Might be hard but You'll learn at least Oh oh oh Humanatee What's it gonna mean to be Oh oh oh Curiosity We fell down but We're back on our feet Oh no no It's in front of me That sweet creature From the endless sea Something deep got ahold of me Take me back to the beginning

the sea 02:32
lyrics

Living by the sea Sounds good to me There's not much to see On your knees When you're passing by Don't mind me How to pass the time When you're in need Never wondered why You left me What's that in your eyes A burning palm tree And now You're on your own No place to call home And now I'm left alone You never call me On the phone Living by the sea Sounds good to me There's not much to see On your knees

bittersweet soliloquy // shed like snakes 04:47
lyrics
buy track
How was I The one that lied You broke our trust With lousy lust And winter comes The sun succumbs No need to shout We'll talk it out And now comes The hard part We've failed the test You hid your heart But we don't need No sympathy Our bittersweet soliloquy You wore that dress I was a mess The blood was hot Much more than we thought And summer dreams They fade like steam You kept the key You're teasing me And now comes The hard part We've failed the test You hid your heart But we don't need No sympathy Our bittersweet soliloquy The heart it aches We shed like snakes Our hopes they tank We end up blank These scars we need For what do we bleed Your smile it fades In subtle ways The heart it aches We shed like snakes Our hopes they tank We end up blank

say goodbye 03:40

Stalemate You got what we wanted in the end Why wait You're drowning in this state It makes me hate When you say Goodbye Say goodbye Dead weight We're fighting for the final word again You're running late Another empty date You play the stakes When I say Goodbye Say goodbye Full of hate You're holding back the fire rushing in You try to make Me worry when you take The long way to say Goodbye Say Goodbye

wasted // none of this is coming true 05:26
lyrics
buy track
Wasted All my chances On you Holding onto Complications True to you Ah Loaded questions Make me nervous Witness to weakness Weak in the knees When we met Ah Hopeless In all our Run-ins and screw-ups You were loathsome Lovely In that photobooth Slow it down Till you can't Hear a sound Open wide Let it out Ah You keep living your life I'll be fine beside Don't be desperate this time Blaming days left behind Keep your promises in line Find them sleeping in your mind All them backrooms and lifelines Making waves to survive

kick-start 04:53
lyrics
buy track
What is it called When you fall out of love Is it sad Is it sweet Is it nothing at all Is it like the end of a song Does it leave you feeling wrong Do you feel anything at all When did you know That I wasn't enough Were you mad Incomplete Was it something small Is it like the bite of a taste Does it keep you in a haze Does it feel like anything at all Was it worth it Were you willing To change the name of the game Just to call me out Are you kidding When's the wedding I'm not invited But it was nice to know Where's my sweet love What's she doing Help my young heart give it a kick-start I'll be sleeping Drunk and dreaming Is this a false state Is my life okay Ooooh Ooooh Was it worth it Were you willing To change the name of the game Just to call me out Are you kidding When's the wedding I'm not invited But it was good to know Where's my sweet love What's she doing Help my young heart give it a kick-start I'll be sleeping Drunk and dreaming Is this a false state Is my life okay Ooooh Ooooh
