stop trying so hard
you're only moving you just think it's somewhere far
and i know i dont need this
but i know i cant resist
and now i'm cut off once again
it's at the hour i dont feel like obeying
and well i know my limits
they're thrown threw these exits
im falling outside
they cheer but they dont know why
until now i was figured out
im at the corner i see you coming around
i read the signs while passing by
im on your bed asking you to sing me a line
'she hides her wings right underneath those jacket sleeves'
and i cant say why Kylie
but there's uncertainty inside of me
and i cant stay awake on the couch i watch the night fade
a guy come walks up to me
says he's been right where i am
now
and knows just what it's like
been there one too many times
forget tomorrow nothing else follows you
dismantling the walls
a place you cant recall
distance more distance please
wide open nothing in between
vicious deciphering
i don't know where i am

you're indistinctly sleeping it off
as im watching for no reason at all
role reversal going external i stall
i got no good reason to go
the house condemned when i waled in on you dead
turned back toward the street and said
o goddamn Ramona this shit's too fucking crazy
you seemed surprised to see me
nod heads dont smile or speak
and it has been a weird week
and month and year
the future's a seething fucking creature
(wouldnt you like to know)
an attractive distraction
not a blink as it happened
the timer's going off
your timer's going off
nothing is good enough for you
your dead bodies costume
an exhausting world beyond this room
in the garage i find a tomb
nothing is good enough for you
final moments stay still
as the memory of this looms
i fear you'll move

Anticipation Grip

nothing comes to me inconsistency
what even just happened?
and the only need for continuity
drying up passions
hair preserved in paint
embalmed memory
lalala lost
silence over the phone
why did you call? oh i dont know
sigh, i guess i'll try
dont feel to right i gotta go
always a worry why
always the cards to hide
an emergency emerging from me
i greet it welcome
buried down deep beyond my reach
unbreachable chasm
nothing to share these walls are bare
there's nowhere to hide
what seems to be the problem with me?
a discreet critique
now i stand in forgotten lands
i'm distant and stranded
INERTIA
sometimes i think
the thought of it is killing me
come in without warning
dont give me any chance to leave
where am i now? lights have gone out
feelings fleet no trajectory
distance is a dream unredeemed
you'll never see it coming

Knife Blade

your eyes reflect in the knife blade
i cannot sit comfortably i am afraid
i cant stay and then you say
there is no escape
the walls are closing in on me
don't make a sound
the voices you can hear are not coming from mouths
you leave me without any proof
i live in the silence where you move
your eyes reflect in the knife blade
do you take me seriously?
you lie but goddamn you lie for me
wanna believe you so badly
and your shadow appears at the end of the hall
can feel the cold steel on my skin and it crawls
the only fear is feeling nothing at all cutting into you
run your finger down the edge
draw blood it glistens
run your finder along the edge
feel nothing then dissect
put it up to the throat
you slice so delicately slow
put it up to the throat
your eyes close

i have not seen your face in days
where could you be hiding from me?
oh, i watch you go are you ever alone?
cause i have not felt the same
other worldly floating down the river like a dead body
approaching slowly i can see myself standing below me
oh the branches reach low silent water flows
unworthy when i know that i've done wrong
you're all i need
so far from me
i'm reaching out for you, desire
I'm reaching out for you
i'm troubled by dreams
the way your fingers caress me to sleep
oh and these insatiable needs
leaving me fucking empty
and there's nothing else left
but memories silhouette
and everything you'll forget
will come back again
im watching you alone all alone
im watching you alone

underneath hell dont know myself
everything's making me feel nervous
this life is compromised
enter through dead ends
crawling under fences
and climb down to me
we're erecting lanes
can't see that we have been moving in place
i dont wanna leave
pulled below the traffic drones
sad sunlight mind vaporized under highway skyline
it feels right used supply my rigid recline
i've come to score
its all i want anymore
and i enter open door
cant really say what for
but you are scared of the truth
and what you could turn into
enter the furnace
displaced under freeways
there lay the bodies
seek shade from our mistakes
the devil comes for me

Circle The Drain
05:01

lethargy out at sea a grey motion
obscure and deep silently approaching
loss of direction where do you go to?
the background's a fleeting view
don't get lost there are no turns
just a visceral urge to reverse
kill the lights cant go no further
out in the night see something emerge
way ahead a light crests then bend
the shadows grow expand and unfold
a shock revived back to life
i've been thru this night before
hopeful intentions paling affections
sinking down in the light
with a smile that look in your eyes
it's been awhile since youve felt alive
no sign of the shore youre pulled out further
a sore sight an impulsive sprawl
and there's no escaping from the hole
it cant stop or be controlled
we're revolving around the unknown
over and over over and over
over and over over and over
can feel it breaking over me
and i'm held underneath
by the current of tendencies
and everything im after
approaching the edge over endless depth
there's no turning back or anything to save you
now
it's all apart of you
there is no one that this is happening to
you know the mirage is true
like the sky you are something you look right thru
and now you're in its full
pursuit life passes by like something you never knew
|

cant get no solace
it never belongs
a loss of profit
and now you're on the run
cant get no solace
i'm coming off all wrong
if you want tragic
look at what you've become
you got whats coming to you
the fucks your problem
static attention spun down into the bed
you try to live life benign
cover your steps and wiping prints you leave behind
dont lie you're hiding from search light
dont get noticed cause you do not wanna know why
they found you out
your cold case left open no one's allowed in
(i feel fear when you're near well i'm out of here)
and i'm fucking walking home
cant you see oh you know it me
i'm circling your property
and its hard to believe
in anything anything really
i dont know why i dont know why
oh why wont you come outside?
and you're cradling your knees
with your head held between
oh you dont wanna be seen

MRI Rave
03:10
|

|
oh i wish i didnt know
go to sleep with head under the pillow
you left me on read
sent with immediate regret
and what does it mean to me?
i dont care i cant think of anything
and then i'll flat line
waiting on your reply
there's no cause for alarm
but i cannot keep calm
the scan of you is beautiful
as you try to remain still
and i got my own issues
that cannot be removed
can you feel the resonance?
inside i fear what it can detect
cautious and clean but never at ease
and everyone's playing their part
look alive you're falling behind too far
i'm waiting for my ride it never arrives
weighing out all the options
thinking's the only problem
its all going to the head
cauterize to stop the spread
oh but it's gonna grow
metastasize real slow
the images come thru
and i can se right into you
i wanna feel it pulling me alive
on my side again
brace for an incision
oh i'm n my side again
watch you cut me wide open
a sequencing pulse
revealing results
the sequence is broke
i'm keeping this one close

Heart In My Throat

my heart's in my throat
swallowed whole
i'm choking up
my heart's in my throat
swallowed whole
I'm choking
and i cant lie looking in your eyes
