Talk 01:27
lyrics

Fearful of flailing tongues Hopeless abandonment of useless words Endlessly stacking insignificant verbs Talk like like a blind man, knowing only by what you've heard Your thoughts are centred and directionless You look inside because cannot look out I know parents never taught you about How we deal with our emotions when find ourselves down

Time 03:56

Go by the minute hand Look past the hours Depicting time much better spent Leisurely waiting for the end No true man cowers At the call, when the time has come to repent Set aside the things you represent We set this fire Now it's our responsibility to keep it under control My head is burning with the images of consequences We have acquired As a result of our neglect My heart grows heavy with the deepest regret The damage done is never hard to forget I will hop on that train So quickly you will not remember The colour of my face My eyes like floating embers I know I'll be around For several more Decembers Just know my heart will always pound For this world I'm trying desperately To find some meaning here In the constructions of man My shoulders ache The journey takes a toll on me Can you feel it in your chest? Can you taste it on your breath? While it bleeds and I am not afraid to be alone Not that I want to be I can count on my own two feet to get me home Is that selfish of me? Go by the minute hand Look past the hours Live by the seconds your awake I will hop on that train So quickly you will not remember The colour of my face My eyes like floating embers I know I'll be around For several more Decembers Just know my heart will always pound For this worlds natural splendour

Signs 03:17
lyrics

I can see past the lies Though I still I fall apart Cause I have my mothers eyes And my fathers heart Oh god please light the way Lead me through the darkness I have my debts to pay back Send a sign this way to show that You are truly watching That you are really there I cast my eyes above me Toward the sun the clouds are blocking To the west, birds are flocking Onward I find myself walking All this shit that Ive been copping Fatigue sets in but I'm not stopping My lungs cave in, my stomach drops The end reveals the door is locked Every time I try to find the answer I get lost inside the question itself Hoping the stars would align God fucking give me a sign I always gaze into the blue Its only you That floods my mind with doubt I cannot live without The clarity of knowing all we are is how we see our selves Don't save me So I can learn to save myself I find it hard to stand alone My knees will not allow me Watch my skin turn into stone As I melt into my surroundings See the grass around me grow As I become immovable Steadfast though standing still Inventing voids to fill

Silent Waters 04:35
lyrics
buy track
Stand amongst the hate that grows under your control Cause all we know is what we're told You stretch the truth so far it falls apart Yours words are sly Seeping through the ears of all your pawns Coercing thought, oppressing freedom This energy is leaving me Radiating, slowly fading Recycling Your presence is the blade that roams throughout this life, lacerating I'll be the sun, I'll pass it on Give back what the world has given me I feel the drift Let my body go with it These cursed seas and silent waters Swept me up and took me away I feel so broken, alone, forgotten The anchor dropped, I took the weight How will we ever feel at home? When we feel so alone? A tornado Tearing through Towns and cities that belong to you A tornado, tearing through Wearing debris Like it compliments Your silky slacks and your shiny shoes A tornado, tearing through Wearing debris You feed off chaos, you.. These cursed seas and silent waters Swept me up and took me away I feel so broken, alone, forgotten The anchor dropped, I took the weight How will we ever feel at home? When we're feeling so alone.

Pavement 03:04
lyrics

Pavement, laid down For miles in all directions Lines, bent, mark out The ways we go, reflections Of the lives that we lead It's funny how we justify Our self destructive way of life Endlessly consuming So as to satisfy Our ever-growing over-bearing ego-centric minds I will not stand for this I believe everyone has a purpose So, to you, I will say If you have the heart to simply stay Refuse the things that you don't need Oh yeah well it's apparent to me That we have been growing apart so gradually I will stand firmly on the Other side of the valley Measuring the divide I will not stand for this I believe everyone has a purpose These words have become my mission Please know I may Tremble when I speak Foots steps, breakdown Our permeation Essence, torn out By worldly expectations Oh yeah well it's apparent to me That we have been growing apart so gradually I will stand firmly on the Other side of the valley Measuring the divide I've been there, I've been by your side All of this time, not knowing what road ahead hides Forget your destination Refuse the things that you don't need Separate yourself From this senseless way of living Remove the lens Fixed to your eyes, to hide the lies
