Desultory 01:32
I see you're doing your best to still stand up straight And I wish I had a plan to lift some of the weight But I've been struggling with whom to address and oppose While the collapsing is coming in even though the doors are closed You sound so desultory when you say it isn't all about the money Well, what's it then about? My talk might be cheap and far away But I'm just afraid you might give up on yourself Alright maybe, maybe I'm all wrong But you seem to be so comfortable with your face down in the mud Covered in excuses, in shallow complacence Is this how you imagined things to be back then?

For A Second 03:31
Dying strength on dying days Evolution on the run Hours pass in different ways A common destiny and fate Separate the sun and light I'm trying to listen up To wasted seconds To seconds that are left for us to breath And when the hand that feeds stops making friends With those who pay my check A pile of wrecks in any case The world on top Writing down all we have to say Though we fuel the fire For the purpose of Fighting clouds just another day Though we fuel the fire And we watch it burn I got more energy to lose Way less happiness to feel "a little dying" I listen up To wasted efforts To items that increase the sympathy A spark of laughter in between our whole reality Donate improvement to the ghost! What would you give to breath at last In a fistfight with yourself Good opportunity

Headwind 02:25
“May you be damned wind”, she said, resigning and quiet It has been steadily blowing towards her head Day by day, night by night You packed your bags while I wished for words to say Sometimes you need to feel understood rather than okay Some of the hopes we learned to stand on cracked down below our feet And now you sweep them off the city streets Is it worth the stay, is it worth the effort of Forgetting who you claimed to be? For now we'll sweep it off the city streets “Screw this town!”, she said, her throat had gone a little sore “It is obviously no longer in our hands anymore!” Sick and tired of a repetitious small town's safest ways Of being tied to causal chains Looking back on years of bitten tongues Hasn't it been way too long? Could you give me room for just one more mistake Cause I wanna get at least a little closer to knowing things for sure

Once it used to be so hard For us to calm down Now it seems we struggle to feel Anything at all The resolutions torn apart The arms are open wide Willing to embrace any little smile For how much How much longer can you keep the doors locked How much louder can you turn the headphones up? How many Many more cords are there left to cut 'Til the pattern finally falls apart? Do you remember? I told you not to worry, you told me not to care I couldn't find the glory in all the drinks we shared And I didn't feel like digging any deeper down from there When all else fails our talk will too Our plans unveil as we pursue

Inside the whole ignition Is there any choice of view today Inside the patience after all... And after all that has been said Brighter lights to the billboards on the street Shallow words and a chasing threat Might get the whole ship burning Nothing is worthless, words last anyway Lies are killing time, facts and memory All innocence in reverie Dangling down the chord Lies are killing time, facts and memory While blindness keeps frightening... hearts! integrity! A voice calling for redemption Worn identities indefined by grace Hollow fists aching for attraction The taste as usual at the same price So give me ties for a moment Let complexity die just once more To get the whole ship burning Nothing is worthless, words last anyway Fear to the anxious faces down the street Gasping for air So what's the fucking problem, take a logic Viewpoint by its hand

The knees are wounded, intention's grounded Somehow pain induced the answer Somehow pain induced the answer Are we tourists in hectic cities? Somehow pain induced the answer Somehow pain Fixed the flattened tire on the busiest highway Changing the lane off these obsolete traditions Believe or be left out in the darkest night Frozen to death on this trampled path Changing how it used to be Watching safe from far afield Constant anxiety On common base The knees are wounded, intention's grounded Somehow pain induced the answer Somehow pain induced the answer Are we tourists in hectic cities? Somehow pain induced the answer Somehow pain Released from rattling chains pushing faster and further Haste the day for each second after second On the run chasing heartbeat after heartbeat Frozen to death on this trampled path Changing how it used to be Watching safe from far afield Constant anxiety We retain the perfect shield A perfect world to fake integrity Am I still used to keep coherence Can you feel the comfort of weak and lonesome sounds All the friction I'll be losing with noises right around My head surrenders its fight for cause The shoes might hurt but the way is worth it It will assure all questions Maybe it won't Shut the doors tonight just to calm the sound

Let's rasp the rust, let's rasp the rust off the old stories Let's settle all for something more than the words that failed before As the strain hit I fainted, it's so easy to hold on to what you know When it's so hard to stay in control Of all the doors I've opened This is the one that got me the furthest from home You leave your footprints anywhere you'll ever go It took me quite some time to know Let's rasp the rust, let's rasp the rust off the old stories Let's settle all for something more than the words that failed before As the flame lit I saved it, I recall every single word For those I owe you more than I can say Of all the doors I've opened This is the one that got me the furthest from home You leave your footprints anywhere you'll ever go It took me quite some time to know I owe you big time for the sheltered floors and the records in my mail The single thing that never fails

Bitterness 02:49
A consequence too difficult for now No regret about this flattering absence Easily Caught targets to expect I feel a bit Comatose of these facile talks for now Shallow eyes keeping contact on advice Take control! Keeping honesty Something lost affinity in the inside of our eyes Are we stuck in relativity of both our lives Can we call it operative Can we tear the borders down Can you be half that proud today Eventually? Time's a damn good thief it is always slipping out of hand Heroic death on concrete Common incidents Tired minds just watch the shadows fall To take the price of latency Easily Caught targets to expect I feel a bit Comatose of these facile talks for now Shaking hands strive for a different face Take control! Keep intensity

A big mouth on fragile feet As long as there is talk there's no defeat You sing these songs to anyone you know With all the conviction it might take And that's about all that it takes Call me envious, call me observing Call me anyway you please What an easy choice to make When it's anyone or you When it's consequences you won't have to feel At least not for now A fast pace on fragile steps A big spender deep in debts and drugs You require more than you would ever give Aspiring to higher aims

So Insecure 01:30
Illuminated roads Leading to innocence This city's safe, this city's grey Blind and blinded by the light A million nails On the sidewalk of this busy road Just a step, another step Another bloodstain on the clouds "Thanks that you mentioned This life so insecure I thought we've been the heroes all along!?" These reckless egos And fear of the unknown Illusions and all wisdom Tied to the ground Just a little Interest in faces all around Just a little patience for an Epiphanic thought Chant of logic! Wealth of all our hearts

I'll never give up I've never been there But my fingerprints got captured Is my nose still broken? Seeing distance and feeling the eye Brake just for a cure The lines are drawn and I'm their slave That's my childhood and my grave Burry my integrity To build a home and plant a tree Breath right in, I'm holding out 'Til my needs are accordingly Open arms for priceless taste Expecting a legacy They've got a barrel You got your bombs and I've got a gun in front of my eyes! Is my face still smiling? Seeing distance and feeling the eye Brake just for a cure Please take a seat at the end of the wall Chasing cars and wasting dreamworks Usual raised fists Broken elbows run out of stock No flow just ebb I'm used to the nail in my eye Worthless is just this taste I am used to exhaust my lungs Faith no face My face got no faith but a matter in town Usual taste, no daylight around Slow down a mistake will calm us all Unfortunately Breath in a mistake will calm us all At the right time
