Pushing buttons till they break
Delicate foundations, they quake
While accusing you’re excusing your mistakes
You’re unrealistic
And the house of cards you built inside your mind
Is falling down around you
And the ashes you keep rising from will
Deepen till they start to drown you
Is there any evidence inside your mind
As the mob surrounds you
Wall to wall your lies have built it all
So rise and face the fall.
The final straw that broke your back, stretch it out upon the rack
You’re entitled to a rival, take it back
You’re optimistic. Open ended arguments, no one else is making sense
Juvenile for a while, you take a breath, Idealistic

Fair

If nothing is fair then, why should I now start to care? Now I’m stuck again but this is nothing new.
I’m sorry to use you to my disadvantage but
I’m better when stakes are high. Your face changed but your name always stays the same.
I’ll whisper so that you won’t make me let you back in. These dancing doors open and close with every decision I have made. I love it when he talks to you.
Why won’t you let me in if it all feels the same? I love it when he talks to you.

Nothing's Wrong/Right
04:15

When is it time to start?
I’m going nowhere and it’s taking me apart
Nighttime comes when day is done
Reminds me time and space will wait for no one
Say what you will but save me,
Cuz I haven’t been me lately
And I can feel something breaking all around
Things aren’t going badly, but that’s as good as things can be
Without something more.
I closed my head and locked it tight
But couldn’t stop the soundless fights
How can anyone be so sure
When nothing’s wrong but nothing’s right

I am in love with you, and I can’t say how
I put chains In my heart in a box in a room
But couldn’t fix it with records or glue, and I’m sorry
'Cause I know what happens next
I can feel a change in thinking coming on
And I hope you believe me when I say
The love I gave you was an honest mistake
You’ll be sorry, 'cause I know
What happens next
All I have is fleeting love
I remember what it’s like to forget
And even I laugh, yeah even I laugh

Peering out of Piercing eyes,
He tells a tale of catonic demise. You are every one of us,
And so much more than everything he cries. And innocence is relative
To permanence you’ll never live to see. So make your last obsessions and
Prepare your last confessions, follow me.
Vampires and acrobats, computers and subway rats are
Ripping through my head. And Cocaine girls write melodies of glorious fidelities I dread. She says it as she’s ripping me to shreds.
Madness makes a man become
A martyr in the war for black and white. And solitary torture builds
A character of unrelenting fright.
So he lashes ‘gainst the masses
Carrying a flag of burning doubt. It billows through the ashes
Till the villages and cities are washed out.

Pyrite

|

Where are my manners, I should ignore the holes in your plot.
The same lines in a different story are all I’ve got
And I heard your footsteps in thunder
Now you’re raining with nothing to lose
You left the day before yesterday and took all your dues
And I am not disappointed, you played your part
Faking more is just your art.
Angels, they faded in snow
Your ship went down with its crew. You paid for my time in pyrite, and I’m coming for you

Bricks and Bricks
04:04
|

Is there nothing wrong?
Nothing I can say?
You built your world in bricks but
Liquor’s breaking up the clay
And I am living here, where no one gets my calls,
You’re killing all my messengers but I’m tearing down your walls
Is there nothing wrong? There are no more fair trades
Believe me when they come for you
There won’t be a parade
And every interaction, you just won’t fucking learn,
You build your pretty gardens up to see what hue they burn
And I am not god and you’re not saved.

Should we let it die? Should we let it burn? The fire’s out
Should we let it rest in peace? Tell me when you want me off your crowded shelf
Isn’t any space for me
Time time time couldn’t heal any of the mess
All your lies, all my fears
Look me in the eye
Tell me that you always sleep at night
Tell me that you feel alive
Sing to me again, sing to me the song I’ve long forgot
Smoke your cigarette and leave
Sorry I was just wondering how much time I fucking wasted
How the war is won

Parachute

Please ignore me, in time I’ll fade away
Don’t implore me to try to be around (lover)
We are nothing but impatient lovers trying hard to get it right
So desperate for that fleeting feeling we look past everything
Flying through turbulence to hide this out of sight
Dancing with nightmares to pass the time
Sometimes laughter’s the worst sign
We have lost ourselves in planning smiles, giving in and pushing through
Planting thoughts into each other in hopes we already knew
We are nothing but impatient lovers trying hard to get it right
So desperate for that fleeting feeling we look
Falling down through the in between
Starting over and holding on
Life’s an endless free fall
So when you’re ready pull the cord.

Wolf
04:38

You wait wait wait, on the one
He’s not going to save you now
You’re the girl who cried ‘love’
You sprint in between the trees
In chase of the scent of blood
Flowing out from a broken heart
And even though you’re only in my head,
I see you bright as day. You’re the one they say is a wolf
And it doesn’t mean a thing, it’s nothing personal she said
She will be happiest when she’s ripping you to shreds.
The lights bounce off the lake as you stalk your prey
The outskirts of his periphery would make no discovery
Cold blue lipstick and leather tights catch his eye
He knows she’ll be his demise
And even though he caught it far too late,
He sees you bright as day
You’re the one they say is a wolf
And it doesn’t mean a thing, it’s nothing personal she said
She will be happiest when she’s ripping you to shreds
Please, just grant me this; she stood over him as he plead
Bury my heart underneath my bed
And she said oh.
Good night.
