Everything 03:51
Sit back relax I’ve got a trick for you I’ll call in absent stay home sick for you We’ll go for broke on open dividends And walk on needles for our junkie friends Stay hypnotized, don’t realize You haven’t what you have in time Disseminate, appreciate You haven’t what you have in time You haven’t what you have in time Go for glory in the final hour The nicotine will shade the ivory tower Just lumped in circles on the median All spots are blinded to the shape you’re in Stay hypnotized, don’t realize You haven’t what you have in time Disseminate, appreciate You haven’t what you have in time You haven’t what you have in time Stay hypnotized, don’t realize You haven’t what you have in time Disseminate, appreciate You haven’t what you have in time You haven’t what you have in time Stay hypnotized, don’t realize You haven’t what you have in time Disseminate, appreciate You haven’t what you have in time You’ll lose everything you’ll lose everything You haven’t what you have in time You’ll lose everything you’ll lose everything

Trapped and ordained by the unwitting hallow Born on a Sunday at 3am Wrapped in the cool of the limbs of a shadow Uncertain how long Addendum be damned, don’t need it Sooner or later we’re all gonna eat it one day I travel lightly with my body on my back An unremarkable death on a sabbath Reduced to footnotes and asterisks Hours and minutes a merciless ravage Stinging sensations amidst the questions of time Leave them unanswered Within my minds eye, the lives of a thousand flies Goliath walks with me just waiting to attack I travel lightly with my body on my back Time flies so keep me close tonight I’m on the go, I travel light Got the essentials with me The short list of lessons I’ve learned All the baggage I’ve left on this plane Of existence is gathered and burned One long day, the verdict has been overturned I travel lightly, with my body on my back Time flies so keep me close tonight I’m on the go, I travel light

Attila 03:31
Spend the night inside the asteroid On a collision course with Earth And I know I’ve been a bastard boy But Now I’m gonna prove my worth This thing won’t touch the ground Attila’s going down And somehow if I ever make it home I’ll never let you feel alone It’s like another place another time This planet’s desolate and strange And I know I’ve let my loved ones down Communicator’s out of range But I’ll make a list of people who I’ve been a shitbag to And promise if I ever make it home I’ll never let you feel alone If I ever make it And somehow if I ever make it And somehow if I ever make it home

Stay Busy 04:01
Pink pebbles dropped place where I’ve been A maze of paths I’ll never cross again The tangled threads of history Once spooled and straight Were never kind to me Standing still will crush a creature’s will Completion is a timeless lie Emotion devotion tenets true Even brick and mortar won’t Keep you safe from your despair Run in place goin nowhere The carpets red with blood tonight It’s pooling out of line of sight A shoehorned ankle turns to spite If quarters are too tight I cannot breathe When all you’ve sought is but an afterthought Even brick and mortar won’t protect you Resurrect you fill your heart Completion is a timeless lie But I’m not lying down Stay busy it’s good for me it’s good for you Stay busy fucking yeah fuck yeah Standing still will crush a creature’s will Completion is a timeless lie Emotion devotion tenets true Even brick and mortar won’t

A cluster of nerves A love I cannot deserve The modest space you have saved Is all the soil I crave Treat me like a Christmas tree Gingerly you cut me down Adorned displayed I feel proud The briefest of all symphonies Fragments of hard time I’m bound To greetings gleefulf arewells loud I Wake up in the road Collected and towed The longing for welcome I feel Just halted and turned on a heel The ornament I yearn to be The nexus of forbidden pride A boy you’d never leave outside A dreadful something wrong with me In impermanence reside With severed roots I’m tossed and tied

Losing Light 04:12
The more you explain the less I know It’s a fool’s campaign not to let you go Empty drawers and picture frames It’s a canvas cured of the things I Thought I knew for sure Evaporate in abstract dithering Walking down a path we could endure Too heavy are the weapons that we bring Chimes they sound outside Sayin don’t stop livin don’t stop forgivin But I’m tired of losing light Sleeping on the floor, are you far away? Lay my head before scattered vertebrae Missing calls from boarding planes I am not today but tomorrow Fully self-contained Living in abstract clarity Pictures strike me dull Words mean nothing to me Chimes sound outside Sayin don’t stop living don’t stop forgiving But I’m tired of losing light Chimes sound outside Don’t stop livin don’t stop forgivin But I’m tired of losing light I won’t stop now Don’t stop livin don’t stop forgivin But I’m tired of losing light I won’t stop now Don’t stop livin don’t stop forgivin But I’m tired of losing light I won’t stop now

Broken windows and empty hallways A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles With frozen smiles to chase love away Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today Lonely, lonely Tin can at my feet Think I'll kick it down the street That's the way to treat a friend Bright before me the signs implore me To help the needy and show them the way Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today

Wait the menace at the mantle posed as fate Heaven sent me cues to calibrate The oasis in the desert of my soul Won’t be controlled Holding steady won’t make you ready for the atom bomb Cloud confetti blessings blasting through the intercom Ageless the devil at the doorstep is contagious Peddling novellas missing pages So the morals of our stories dim to gray But not today Holding steady won’t make you ready for the atom bomb Cloud confetti blessings blasting through the intercom I gotta try to stay awake Well That’s my problem Don’t wanna overcomplicate But that’s just who we are I gotta sit and ruminate Well how’d we get this far? Holding steady won’t make you ready for the atom bomb Cloud confetti blessings blasting through the intercom Opt to suffer it won’t make you tougher for catastrophe There is no buffer Believe

Platform with a built-in heart break I know you feel it too Laying flat a proverbial pancake nothin left to do Single file down the San Andreas plateline I’m waking up for you Tossing covers on a memory landmine Wish I could be the man that would turn it off I’d break the grid for you I’d break the grid for you Like a pinch in the plan meta-Molotov I’d break the grid for you Keep on dreamin I’ll be somebody someday There’s none left for you Confronting demons like a typical Monday I know you feel it too I got a bad feeling what happens next I got a bad feeling I learned what to expect Wish I could be the man that would turn it off I’d break the grid for you I’d break the grid for you Like a pinch in the plan meta-Molotov I’d break the grid for you Slipping through a crack in the world De minimus de minimus

A lark so bold it changes my world So stark and cold assuming indifference It always matters Still wrapping my head around that I feel so tender and small Fee-fi-fo-fum crush hearts down the hall Yeah It always matters Still wrapping my head around that I wrestle not with will But with the corner called “home” still The baby’s all but bathed but now I drink Till I feel consoled and swallow you whole I chase away the ones who would stay I flip the scrip a buck mil a day And The difference matters Still wrapping my head around that The constant nightmares press A paper boy to thinned excess The baby’s all but bathed but now I drink Myself under chairs once featured you there I lost both my arms in the quest for a hug I cannot embrace just perpetually shrug In the face of the clock I am parts of a sum My head in your hands is all I will ever become Nothing matters Nothing matters Nothing matters The lie I’ve learned to love
