Nights
(These hot summer nights)
Of endless ennui
(Ennui in the air we breathe)
When time goes slow
(But not slow enough, I still know I'm alive)
The candle burning
(Burning for what used to be)
Just waiting for...
(Waiting for anything, waiting for anything, please god just anything)
Oh, it's never ending
(It's never ending)

Doing Okay

Picture perfect in a manic way
Everyone says they're doing okay
I don't buy it but it's not my fault
A hologram over fields of salt
I'm alright
I keep moving I'm just trying to get by
I'm watching airplanes as they slice up the sky
Being free is the ultimate curse
'Cause it can't get any better, it can only get worse
I'm alright
We don't feel nothing and that suits us fine
Don't gotta worry if you don't have a spine
Just keep on drifting, and see how it goes
Feeling waves of pleasure from your head to your toes
I'm alright
Sometimes it pays just to sit right there
The ones who love you will cut your hair
Make you feel pretty, or something else
I only wish that I could feel like myself
I'm alright

Care for me
And who I was
Careful is
As careful does
I can hide you
From this ire
Falling backwards
Into the fire
Lay me down
So tenderly
Tie my hands
And bury me
I can hide you
From this ire
Falling backwards
Into the fire
None can save us
From Desire
Falling backwards
Into the fire
These hearts of briar
Are beating still
They're leaving cuts
For us to feel
I can hide you
From this ire
Falling backwards
Into the fire
None can save us
From Desire
Falling backwards
Into the fire

Don't act suspicious
It'll be okay
They're here to serve you anyway
Silence is golden
Don't say a word
Internalizing the absurd
Violence is empty
Forever more
Until they're breaking down your door

The Moth

In the end they were doing fine
With an alright timbre and a one track mind
They were gifted all the love in the world
And they traded it all for a blackened pearl
Looking back it's so easy to see
I'm sure you've made mistakes,
Same as them,
Same as me
But I can see all the choices you make
I can see you standing in the open air
Giving your bones to the earth
Signing off without knowing so
As the mud and the muck start to mix with the snow
And now the holes in your shoes matter not
Like a moth who's ripped off it's wings when it's caught
Looking back it's so easy to see
I'm sure you've made mistakes,
Same as them,
Same as me
But I can see all the choices you make
I can see you standing in the open air
Giving your bones to the earth

Try to live in spite of us
Coming back around
Build an envy like a tower
Build a monument
But my timing's off again
I'm moving out of phase
Caught between the notes
In a digital haze
Rushing out and splashing down
Bubbling in the drain
Dream it up, it's real enough
Build a monument
But my timing's off again
I'm moving out of phase
Caught between the notes
In a digital haze
Talking to the void
Again
Telling you to stop
Again
Crying out for help
Again
Gravel in your throat
Again

Under the Eye
03:43
|
|||
|
Plates of ivy on the walls
A curtain made from empty cans and seashells
Plastic cover for the floor
Breathing in and moving forward through the door
Exhale
Under the eye the lines are forming
Giving it all away without you knowing
Facades just fall to pieces
The truth between the creases
Under the eye I've never felt more ashamed
Heavy boots on polished steel
Walking in between the carving of a tree
All the best I wish you well
Over horizons to the tolling of the bell
Under the eye the lines are forming
Giving it all away without you knowing
Facades just fall to pieces
The truth between the creases
Under the eye I've never felt more ashamed
Is there still time to take it back?

To be a shadow cast
Upon the river
The current moving through
The water moving over
How did I get so small
We couldn't know for sure
Lay gold into the green
For gods beneath the reeds
Eroding banks
Take it away
The water takes us all someday
We trample underfoot
Until our path is carved
Unable to go back
Deprived and feeling starved
We're wearing out our welcome
Eroding banks
Take it away
The water takes us all someday
The hornet's nest
The sweet decay
The water takes us all someday
