Tomorrow
03:01
|
|||
what’s safe to breathe
how can we see
down burning roads
tomorrow
who bleeds your blood
who breaks your back
how will we cope
when it goes black
feel it on your tongue
breathe it in your lungs
your senses hold tomorrow
unwrite the words
unwarm the earth
unsell these souls
tomorrow
what’s safe to breathe
how can we see
can’t hurt to hope
once in a while
feel it on your tongue
breathe it in your lungs
your senses hold tomorrow
breathe it in your lungs
feel it on your tongue
your senses hold tomorrow

The News Unfit
02:00
|
|||
nothing feels stable to me
sunlight lingers like a warning now
i tried to find a type of light
that could guide me
but it’s blinding
every season’s the same
seems like life just tends to be this way
what was unthinkable
is now a part of life you’re used to
but there’s no excuse
learned to accept what just is
nothing matters but the news unfit
we have to change our ways
but recognize there’s not much time
and it’s passing by

Elixir
02:41
|
|||
i was amazed by the pain in my eyes
when i drank the elixir of life
all of history’s secrets
mapped out like the stars
i was deceived by the pleasant disguise
of eternal life
nothing to kill or die for
and no purpose too
i was dazed by the glare of the sun
when it struck
stuck on the objects of living affection
and a fading past
i could not decide
by the fading sign of light
i was hypnotized
and hopeless
but now betrayed by the passage of time
and an empty earth
fever as warm as the ocean
dead luck
i could not decide
by the fading sign of light
i was hypnotized
and hopeless
no more searching
no more purpose
waited my whole life to walk the water’s surface
no more reason
no more seeking
waited my whole life to see the end of seasons
could mind plus time make dust more divine
i was amazed
when it hit
lord of an empty planet
for all it’s worth
blessed to be one whose name was
written in dirt

If the Sun
02:48
|
|||
if the sunlight falls free to the ground
don’t miss out buying up all of the clouds
i sold you your light and shelter
i sold you the the only way you can live
the sun’s on the market
and the people can’t stop it
if the wind wants to sing i’ll charge you to hear it
if the rain wants to fall i’ll drown it out
won’t you guess my name
i’m a system of shameless self-regard
i’d suffer the darkest night
i’d die for the right to own you
i’d suffer to sell my own happiness
i’d smile if the sun goes dark

Hell is Fine
03:14
|
|||
hell is fine or at least so far
over time you’ll learn how to expect
nothing from no one but yourself forever
hell is fine or at least so far
never mind it feels like common sense
your ideals or thoughts meant nothing for nothing
every day is longer than the last
every day is longer than the last
every day a million dreams never come to pass
i know what you’re asking
the question is fair
if life’s been so cruel and so kind
then what sense is there in drawing a line

A Quiet Slow Scene
03:10
|
|||
have you seen white reefs red seas
a world at peace
mercy me you miss the ghosts for the trees
that finally seem to breathe
believe in no sight or silver seed
there’s no more blood to bleed
it seems the planet is free
to feel complete release
boiling seas
a quiet slow scene
finally serene
sleep well
it’s not your fault
soon there’ll be no story to tell

Day is Long
04:00
|
|||
worked you to death for no purpose
day is longer than that
no sense doubting the math
could you be more in debt
something you said once about
prophecy being profit seeking
you must pick a side to be on
sometimes it pays to be wrong
no one else can set you free now
getting distracted when you don’t
hoping they got you on your own
fear it’s all too plain to see now
everything will turn to stone
setting you up to die alone

Mantissa
02:17
|
|||
walking alone in the forest of living
brandishing paper thin blades
shaving away all the flakes of our youth
and the careless good looks of our friends
thinning the months from the branch of our lives
the carving knife steady as time
skinning the bark that splinters his fingers
exposing the pulp of our age
oh mantissa
hollowed out
picking the scraps of the twigs of our lives
exhaling the dryness of death
colder than time, the breath of our eyes
will mist until nothing is left
oh mantissa
and time as it stands has stripped you to dust
joyless and tired and cold
wondering aloud how you ever grew old
just count all the rings on your soul
