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

Holding Steady
03:03

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

Nothing Matters
03:25

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
