Entry 00:24
And I found Myself Lying down, Spinning through angled tubes, Dicisionless No Tired argument Who? As infinity grows I thank contrast For its beauty, Its synthesis Of You, and Us, and I

Tunnelvision 02:27
Fate Is Beginning to regulate All the figures that procreate As the line of two-timed sight That's pleading to the frenzy to start the multiplying There's shapes In the form of these open gates I'm caught in tunnelvision That sends me on a mission To slip inside, To slip inside Cause We're Just fighting to follow our names That keep dividing our troubles away This is how it feels in her love This is how it feels in her love This is how it feels in her love This is how it feels.... 16 planets for every hit Plus 16 more where those 16 sit I'll bite her neck while she grinds those hips And exchange the verbs that are on her lips as we build up as the towers on the planets that we missed Cause We're Just fighting to follow our names That keep dividing our troubles away This is how it feels in her love This is how it feels in her love This is how it feels in her love This is how it feels....

The Rust 08:19
Part 1: Argue with a teachers book Pack your bags with how you look The ships are just about to drive away A dancer with a submarine Who's dosing off to have a dream and we're just smoke to get inhaled today Goodbye again Part 2: Backround: Widdled away, been shaped for the day We're all blocks, In a Lot, The tallest units get their heads shaved Backround: Widdled away, been shaped for the day Its so rough, Sanded down, There's an electric tool-set gods abusing Backround: Brains made to recieve, emotion machines The only thing that's constant is the space that's making crosses Our Souls Backround: Downloading a scene, the consciousness streams They're filling up with water, thats starting to get hotter Lets go Part 3: We're Transferring heat, like we're transferring funds, Like we're transferring luck, like we're transferring love Like we're transferring hate, like we're transferring months God damn this ice hasn't cooked long enough I remember the time when you spoke by the door Valves broke cause the karma kept asking for more I remember you laughed with an uncertain smirk I remember you said Don't feel bad That nothings helping We're only flesh That's made of lightning To bridge the gaps Inside our body The human mass In nature's wedding Don't Fall apart Follow heart It's so rough, Sanded down If you talk, Make it loud Part 4: I felt new life Lying on their beaches Between the grass Shaking off the leaches My bloodline slides With all the stolen pieces That grow inside the fishes as they feed them Part 5: Wrap this up Put it at the bottom of a copper cup The lord he'll rust us shut Say thanks for the vacation and best of luck

Dig 04:30
Straight through the ground We dug a hole in the land we'd found The forest frowned Expelling leaves till we were Naked trees I can feel you move every time I breath The roots we make All becoming new lives we save And they take And they take And they take And they take Let the stones slide above you Almost forget your name Till the drill redefines new I hope this climbings not too late Oh yeah Don't you know we're repeating And theres several ways to pace We're the suns rays we're eating Its an old, its an old place

Hands in pockets Speak so loud I was a rocket It made me proud Kept arms together To single out The scattered static That's sand in clouds And the comet crashed Landed in a pile of its owners ash The sinking facts The sinking facts The sinking facts Palms are open Feed the clown I was a writer It made me proud Felt stiched together Piece to be found In open ceilings I'm coming down And the comet crashed Landed in a pile of its owners ash The sinking facts The sinking facts The sinking facts And I felt that that high truth That refused to be saved Wasn't worth ever bringing I'm gone and its traveled back
6.
Left my love Beside her bed With empty boxes We envied Poured cheap wine on our breath The summers caved The winters bled The only season that made me happy Was the springtime on your floral dress I think I’m love I think I’m death I think ideas are ending But this, this, this…… December skin Stood on my neck I got so tired Of writing letters That never wrote me back I lost my hope In vacant chairs Imagination Kept on drawing But now I doubt you were ever there I think I’m love I think I’m death I think ideas are ending But this, this, this…… I know for sure

You 04:07
Life's Uncertain Guides are the light Heavy questions Can help to decide
8.
I know I owe you Half of my life Someday I'll repay you And add to the price Stay if you want to Stay if you want to Stay if you want to go Stay if you want to Stay if you want to Stay if you want to go I called the doctor Said, "Man, you were wrong Straight facing laughter from holding your tongue Someday you'll listen long enough to talk But I won't be singing bout kicking 'round rocks" Stay if you want to Stay if you want to Stay if you want to go Stay if you want to Stay if you want to Stay if you want to go Prescribing laughter in a cup Turn around and drink it up We've always laughed enough We'll never laugh it off I doubt it Alone on the night shift Pushed the hair out of my eyes There isn't much business Turning wrongs to almost rights (But I'll still try) My family feels honest And honestly tight (And almost right) I hope that I'm starting To become there advice I'll be your echo I'll be your echo Stay if you want to Go

Summer Cycle 04:16
Back to the basics Lets talk this out Everyone Is sleepin on the ground The lonely cold Can warm up in the crowd You want my secret You want it bad You're not wrong Though stay afraid to ask Anticipation makes us strong Patience trains our bond Holdin on Holdin on Holdin on Holdin on Wait Away Love Delay Make this promise I'm lyin The truths shut down even though it tryin It's a silly dream but we live it Wake me When this song decides to end

Oh Ohhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhh Here we go again All my time feels wasted Countin off the spins This cd's overtasted Oh Ohhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhh This distance feels much further The closer that you get Clouds sittin in the wind Wonder if they're listenin Blocking out the stars I wonder what we're missin Oh Ohhhhh Oh Ohhhhh Oh Ohhhhh It's not clear what's hiding Behind this part of town There's pieces always shifting To keep suspicion down After all these changes I hope there's no more waitin After all these changes I hope there's no more waitin After all these changes I hope there's no more waitin After all these changes I hope there's no more waitin
