Dead Trees 03:42
lyrics
buy track
I know you See the ways You’re changing Harder to hide each day Afflicted  By divisions Eating you alive How many hours Best not to speculate  You just gotta wait I sought a blessing To go so far away Regret’s so unforgiving Maybe I should have stayed How long does this last Describe the impact There are no revenants This is permanence You tried, you fought, knew when to stop We’re distraught but all’s not lost Try not to worry but grieve as you need Each forest stands among dead trees Released at last Did you feel the contrast You tried, you fought, knew when to stop We’re distraught but all’s not lost Try not to worry but grieve as you need Each forest stands among dead trees

Morning Person 08:13
lyrics

It’d been such a long time Since I recalled a dream Where I didn’t want to wake up I didn’t want to scream Opening my eyes There’s that familiar, sickening feeling I didn’t want to wake up I didn’t want to wake up I didn’t want to wake up I didn't want to wake up Good night Out of sight Out of your mind Take another look back Already there Stuck in the past Recite Your restless lullaby All the pages you turn Dog eared, ink worn Good night, good night Out of sight Out of your mind Take another look back Already there, stuck in the past Recite, recite Your restless lullaby All the lessons you learned Going to seed, ready to burn Your self-sabotage Is the cause All the pages you turn Dog eared, ink worn All the lessons you learned Going to seed, ready to burn The sun flashed into view Though it wasn’t day I could see you I could touch you I could speak to you But you are still gone As you put it to me Just try to be true And carry on

Led Astray 04:56
lyrics

We got lost  Following neon signs Bathed in a light Unflattering by design We bought into a life Falsely advertised We’ve been led astray Led astray We’ve been led astray Led astray I'll tell you what you want Wouldn’t you like to know I'll sell you what you haven't got There’s always more I'll leave you hollow and alone You're welcome I'll leave you hollow  What are we consuming Who’s consuming whom We’ve been led astray Led astray We’ve been led astray Led astray We’ve been led astray Led astray We’ve been led astray Led astray We got lost  Following neon signs Bathed in a light Unflattering by design We bought into a life We bought into a lie

Wax Poet 07:10
lyrics
buy track
If you believe I am the real thing No imposter or dilettante I guess I’ve got you fooled If the phrase That tumbled out Somehow alleviated doubts I must have you fooled But I am just a wax man Even as the words you’d sung Drifted up and off of your tongue My heart melted, it turned to mush It doesn't take much for me to blush Don't you see right through me Don't take me out into the sun Look up close, you'll see the seams And crush my wax dreams If only I could just change my expression I can't hold a candle with this impression My thoughts melt, they turn to mush It doesn't take much for me to blush Don't you see right through me Don't take me out into the sun Look up close, you'll see the seams And crush my wax dreams Outside of this ruse I've nothing to lose 'Cause I am just a wax man

Bombs Away 06:37
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes it's so hard Not to think about you Some things we never forget about I hid in a bunker underground 'Cause I don't trust anything I've found To keep the bombs away I don't want to Don't want to forget about you But sometimes it's too hard to think about I ventured out to test the air 'Cause I can't stand to be alone down there With no love to brighten up the day I fall, I fall All these faces None of them looking for me All these faces I don't see any eyes for me See them flying overhead They've all managed to catch the wind But here I remain All these places I don't have any lock or key All these places None of them waiting for me Stumbled, startled, from a dream Where the ground dropped away To a fall that never broke With an absent gaze I fall, I fall

Alien 04:54
lyrics
buy track
My will evaporated I'm running on nothing but fumes You all seem so far away I'm sputtering to a halt Suspended in a heavy fog The world dims, thus obscured Static, cacophony I lost myself in the din In this twisted place Far beyond belief I'm this alien What brought me here Have I forgotten Have I forgotten Have I forgotten Is it not foregone Some things never change My eyes show What I cannot say If I've forgotten If I've forgotten If I've forgotten Have I forgotten again If I've forgotten If I've forgotten If I've forgotten

Compromise by Default 04:27
lyrics
buy track
Lie to me It’s for the best In that gown Lay you down to rest Why are you so quiet Preoccupied Please tell me anything It's another sunny day  But where I come from It's gone cold and gray I still see those clouds When this sky Has everything devoured They followed me When I took flight No, no that snow Can’t bury you Like leaves used to And no, no these hills Can’t raise you Like the air did its best to   My debt to you Settled it dearly Can't ask anymore of you Trapped in these memories Shrouded in mist You’re haunting me already

Back to Reality 07:38
lyrics
buy track
Slowly fading in the back of my mind There’s all this lost time But wasn’t I there I wasn’t there To varying degrees That’s the lost time Won't be the last time In those moments I surrender to doubt I’m overcome with doubt But what about the spent time Wasn’t I there To varying degrees In those moments I’m unencumbered  I don’t doubt my presence  I don’t doubt I found myself walking in a beautiful place The grasses around me were so lush, glowing green And burgeoning waters were glistening Under a brilliant sun Wandering the valley of the golden skeletons One of those ancients lifted its skull A sentinel waiting where the path had flooded This curious creature asked innocently A question whose answer betrayed my mortality And with that reminder Like a punch in the gut I had to admit That this place was not home for me This world I suddenly had to leave All of those ancients Resting their skulls Sentinels watching Eternal youth stumble Curious creatures Ask innocently Questions whose answers Dictate our realities It’s a reminder Like punch in the gut This place goes on without me Suddenly I’ll have to leave And it's hard to accept

The One 06:37
lyrics
buy track
Are you gonna settle down Do you want to be  The last one drifting 'round And how long could it be One big family How long, how long Really There's no guarantee That you won't run aground But how long can you stay At sea Do you still pretend That there’s just one out there Meant for you And lament to your friends That there’s just no use If you had a lineup before you Billions strong How could you hope Not to choose wrong Do you buy into the myth That you could always do better Do you let good things die Seeking out the one If you had a lineup before you Billions strong How could you hope Not to choose wrong
