Intro (Artificial Night)
01:46
|
|||
|
I'm just too
I'm just too receptive
I'm just too
I'm just too receptive
To the artificial night
I'm just too
I'm just too accepting
I'm just too
I'm just too accepting

Secrets
03:10
|
|||
|
Walking down the street with a look
Half apathetic, half apprehensive
Clothes are ripped up
Eyes drop to the ground
I won't meet yours, 'cause you'll see me
The secrets I have
Are eating me up
Sleeping for now
Waiting to be found
The street is spiraling down
Soon under ground
I'm latching on to whatever I can
Is this town happy?
Or did I infect everyone?
The secrets I have
Are eating me up
Sleeping for now
Waiting to be found
To cut ties with you all
I'm not sure what they are
But you'll find out

Blood Flow
03:46
|
|||
|
I'm waiting for a call
To kick me sideways
And break us out
I loosened my fingers
Go on and fly away
Either way
Maybe it's all in my blood flow (don't stay too long)
Maybe I've already gone away (you're getting old)
Don't stay too long
We decorated the walls
When there was nothing left
Squeezing out all the lifeblood
I loosened my fingers
Go on and fly away
Either way
Maybe it's all in my blood flow (don't stay too long)
Maybe I've already gone away (you're getting old)
Maybe it's all in my blood flow (don't stay too long)
Maybe I've already flown away (you're getting old)
Let's be honest
I don't care
You can save a lot of time
Just kicking me out
I'm eating looks
From everybody else
Even when they look away
But I won't stay too long
|
||||
4. |
||||
|
It's all bullshit now and all the time
It took me a while to adjust and all
I don't know what to expect
'Cause I don't know if you'll come back
I forgot our past and plans we must've had
There's only muted screams and I who live here now
I don't know what to expect
'Cause I don't know if you'll come back
I search for answers when you call
I wonder if it's even you at all

Father's Day
04:17
|
|||
|
Trains of thought collide
Leaving wrecks inside
Murmuring words from the past
From everyone I lost
The holes where teeth are missing
Won't hurt forever
I'll be okay I guess
On father's day
My sanity falls double speed again
Not that there's a question as to why
No one comes around here now
The holes where teeth are missing
Won't hurt forever
I'll be okay I guess
But I can't face my dread
So you can embalm me now
That's okay with me

Empty
01:48
|
|||
|
The night made you see what you already are
You're empty
Another day wasted
The night showed you that you are wasting away
You're empty
Another day wasted
I want to break the sun into pieces
I want to capture its light in a little box
I don't want to waste another day
I want every single one to stay
I'll lock them up
And keep them hid
Until I'm ready to go out again

Returning
02:28
|
|||
|
Here's the place I used to go to when I was young
And all the same faces are wrinkled, rough and numb
I've tried to return here
With different songs
That remind me of the time
When I could feel things genuinely
Here's the school I used to go to when I was young
Oddly I feel that it just made me dumb
I've tried to remember
How it felt to walk down those halls
But the memories seem intimidating now
|

9. |
||||
|
You're sinking my head to the floor
With eyelids stapled shut
I'm waking into dreams
I don't know why I keep this alive
Why I want it to be kept alive
I only see repeats now
I kind of remember how it felt to touch you
And I kind of don't
I'm sorry I haven't called
But it's pretty hard
Now that we are broken up
But I love you still
And I always will
But I'm keeping it hidden within now
We ignored each other's texts
Because they never correspond to the tone and movement we would've liked to use
It's keeping us locked to distance
But honestly it's mostly your memory that...
I don't know when it's coming

Phobia
02:30
|
|||
|
It's way too late now
All these faces combined are way too strong
It's been long since I was present here
Pavement turns to a scene
The crowd wants to see
It's been long since I was present here
It's been long since I was present here
No matter how I act I'll be alone among them
It's way too late to start all over
To learn again

Something You Said
04:42
|
|||
|
Sitting this one out
I'm staying home tonight
I listen to the sounds
That has echoed here since March
Last time you came here my hair was short
Snow was all around, my room was warm
It's a shame you mean so much to me
And that I couldn't see it before
Keeping my hands occupied
I keep them from reaching out
To you, mostly
Making up reasons to always sleep
I just want to know what you meant
It was something you said last year
I just had a thought
Maybe you could just come home

I Save Paper Clippings
06:34
|
|||
|
I save paper clippings from each magazine you spoke in
And I put them on my walls
Guess I lost a lot of friends this year
It's so easy to blame my head 'cause I don't know the reason
I don't have a problem really
I know it's true
Still my body fear me
I don't have a problem really
But some nights I'm just dull by the fear
I get so sad about things I didn't need to find
There's always something that can't escape from my mind
The clippings grow old
Some are bleached from the sun
Your quotes are fading every day
I don't have a problem really
I know it's true
Still my body fear me
I don't have a problem really
But some nights I'm just dull by the fear
I don't have a problem really
I know it's true
Still my body fear me
I don't have a problem really
But some nights I'm just dull by the fear

Honey Whispering
04:00
|
|||
|
I'm a pasted photograph on the scene
They're drinking, shouting, laughing, talking beside me
My house is burning with the presence of smiles
The music's breaking, someone's speaking, it's a whole ordeal
I don't have the time
I'm kicking everybody out
I can't sit and watch
It brings me to tears just to think
You're honey whispering so slowly now
Making the words stick around in my mind
Telling stories without jumping any little fact
Then they blacken every name in there
I don't have the time
I'm kicking everybody out
I can't sit and watch
It brings me to tears just to think
I don't have the time
I'm kicking everybody out
I can't sit and watch
It brings me to tears just to think

I Miss Missing Someone
04:08
|
|||
|
I said it out loud now
For the first time
So now it's too late for take backs
I just haven't thought that much
I just miss missing someone
The feeling turns away
You can do whatever you wanted to do
This whole time
You can go away on holiday
I guess whatever you want now
I miss missing someone
I miss missing someone

New Sun
04:23
|
|||
|
It's time to kiss our new sun
It lives for us
Enticing me to wake up
Transitioning
I don't know why
I wouldn't let us exist
I'm calling up the ghosts from my mind
To part with all of this
You look healthy
Healthier than when I saw you last
Be sure to make it last and so will I
I love your hair all dyed
I'm so happy you're here
I'm so happy you're here
