Back To My Senses
03:22

a year in outer space could benefit me greatly
some solace from that point of view
hop on the moon for one
circle around the sun
taking a break from the pale blue
'cause I slip every time
I take a step in life
take a deep breath
come back to my senses
all of my walls
and all my defenses
could only go so far
and I'm right back a the start
I take a deep breath
come back to my senses
come here and drink your fill
but all I've got is grape juice
sorry if you wanted some wine
but I can promise you
I won't complain to you
honestly I just want out of my mind
'cause I trip every time
I take a step in life
take a deep breath
come back to my senses
all of my walls
and all my defenses
could only go so far
and I'm right back a the start
I take a deep breath
come back to my senses
take a deep breath
come back to my senses
all of my walls
and all my defenses
could only go so far
and I'm right back a the start
I take a deep breath
come back to my senses
'cause all of my life
I have been senseless
content in my mind
with clouded up lenses
I don't know where to start
from where this fell apart
I take a deep breath
come back to my senses

Past Lives
05:24

I'm a king pin
I'm a fucking mozart of my age
I'm a shoe-in
I'm a genius, here to take the stage
I'm so ugly, hate my face, hate my brain
but don't you mind me
In fact this place is kind of lame
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
watching all this go by, I'm just taking pictures
I, I remember all my past lives
I, I remember all the good times
I remember everything
except for what they taught me in school
hey do you remember me?
must have been a really good year
I'm a deadbeat
I'm a lazy useless waste of space
I'm a flunky
I'm a poet without a sense of taste
I'm so lovely
my blood runs gold inside my veins
but don't you mind me
in fact everything's still lame
I, I remember all my past lives
I, I remember all the good times
I remember everything
except for what they taught me in school
hey do you remember me?
must have been a really bad year
will I still be happy as a ghost?
these things are haunting me the most
I'm just making things up as I go
as I go

Finally Flying
05:03
|

|
This is the end
This is the end of all the bad days in my life
Yeah I think I've got it right
'til the end of time
I'm making amends
Cause this the end of all the stupid petty things
And the problems that they bring
Along for the ride
I will never walk this road again
I'm lifting up
In time we'll fly
And everything will be just fine
As long as I
Can keep myself from falling backwards
I'm alright
Been living like this all my life
I swear that I
Can keep myself from falling backwards
This is the end
This is the end of fighting tired endless fights
For what it it's worth you're right
And I know that
We're breathing again
Cause this the end of all the mountains that we've climbed
And this chapter of our lives
We don't want back
I will never walk this road again
That bridge is burned
This is the final straw
I've never been so relieved
Let's crash into the sun
And part the fucking sea
That was the final straw
I've never been so relieved
I'm not the only one
So what do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
I'll let you down
This is the end
This is the end of the world we used to know
The winters and the cold
This is the end
This is the end, so now clear the crowded sky
'Cause our simple design is taking flight

Dopamine

I'm so bored again
Of the way things have been
when it's fall can you wake me up?
my shoes are growing thin
I never planned to win
when it's fall can you wake me up?
I'm to human for this business
for productivity
fill my heart with liquid metal
my arms, machinery
maybe then I'd have the mettle
to make some real money
around the world's a million writers
that are much better than me
and I bet they thought they'd make it
back when they were fourteen
but everybody's done with music
they've got more important things
I promise if I wake up and it's all a dream
I'll close my eyes and force myself right back to sleep
to dream of Mars and flying cars
that eat the hearts of dying stars
you say, 'there's nothing worth it'
and this place is hard for both of us
but my lungs are made of cosmic dust
I say
'ok'
'cause I'm a person on a planet
a rook circling in space
a product of some firing neurons
a descendant of an ape
and everything I've ever made up
is just electric waves

Pages/Sirens
04:28

I'm moving on and off
I'm moving on along
I'm moving on
I'm halfway gone
I'm moving on
You never kept me down
Shown to never find, never find it all
An alibi, an alibi we call
Can you tell me what is wrong?
Can we never carry on
From these shadows on the wall?
Like we' never lost it all
I'm sticking to my guns
Addicted to your air
I'm moving on
I'm halfway gone
I'm moving on
You never kept me down
You've got the warmth to bring home Persephone
Silence how the sirens sing
Fill the air with noise that moves me
Only noise that you can bring
Tell me what, tell me what you want

The Sun Will Consume Us
03:05
|
|||
|
I just want to burn
All the money in the world
And roast hotdogs on the flames
Raid the federal reserve
Spend it all on Lego bricks
And build myself a better place
Oh God, give me a break
It's all bullshit anyway
Oh for heaven's sake
You're all the same
I'd walk away
Before I'd give in now
Let's go to waste
‘Cause we're never getting out
Gotta pay to be
And nothing is infinite
So work your fingers to the bone
I'm not going to bleed
For the price of arrogance
Or dig myself another hole
We’re all on the same ship
We’re all on the same sinking ship
The Earth will shed us
The Sun will eat us whole
We’re all on the same ship
We’re all on the same sinking ship
The Earth will shed us
The Sun will consume us

Winter
05:01

I still know the sounds of winter
And the layout of your house
And yet I can't remember
What we last talked about
I wonder where you are right now
And if you're glad you made it out
And if you're still around
I wonder where you are right now
Still know the echoes of the speakers
And the ringing in my ears
And the drive we spent in silence
After all of these years
We never truly know
We never walk alone
I've never felt so grown
But here I do
We never walk alone
We never truly know
I've never felt so grown
But here I do
(We've aged a million years)

Doppelgänger
03:15

Wait for the day I find a way out
Before it finds me
Before it chokes me out
You'll never see my stalker stride
Over my shoulder
Looking for locked eyes
Got no face
Follows me
And I don't got a security anywhere
It's not going away
I drove for miles to buy some time
It's always moving
Always right behind
Got no face
Follows me
And I don't got a security anywhere
It's not going away
Drove me out to the country
Put your hand on my mouth
Dragged me out of the car and
Tied me up to a chair
You said
"I'm doing this to help you
So you know that it's real"
Got no face
Follows me
And I don't got a security anywhere
It's not going away
Any place
Any day
Could catch up to me finally anywhere
It's not going away

Labyrinthian
03:33
|
|||
|
white noise in all directions
buy into the truth you want
we don't matter but that's a blessing
we won't be here for long
broke, blinded, and burning up
we're all lost here
we're all ghosts here
walls we sleep in
labyrinthian
it's a brave new world
and I'm afraid
I'm not a perfect person
but I know my right from wrong
the dissonance in nearing deafening
we won't be here for long
broke, blinded, and burning up
we're all lost here
we're all ghosts here
walls we sleep in
labyrinthian
it's a brave new world
and I'm afraid
rely on whatever helps you sleep at night
well I'm gone; whatever helps you sleep at night

Complacent

So you wonder what I do with all my time?
I don't want to come apart or cross to the other side
I achieved self actualization, then I passed it by
If the world was coming down, would you still be on my side?
I just want to grow complacent
I don't want to do anything the rest of my life
I don't want to be impatient
I don't want to do anything the rest of my life
And I don't want to give my life away
To the redo
And I don't want to bet it all on a change
That is see through
And I don't want to bury myself under the weight of all this world's mistakes
I don't want to give my life away
I can't undo
I just want to grow complacent
I don't want to do anything the rest of my life
I don't want to be impatient
I don't want to do anything the rest of my life

Sucks
03:56
|
|||
|
It sucks
That we got this way
So unashamed of hate
And it sucks
All the faith I had for us
And it sucks
People I once respected are building fences
And burning down our home
No solution that I know
It just sucks
Sucks to be you now
It's catching up to you
Your castle's coming down
Under the weight of truth
You make your father proud?
After all he gave to you
It's all over now
It all came around
It sucks to be you now
Yeah it sucks
We just gave it away
Like a Tamagotchi in a pawn shop
It sucks
That it fucks with the way
I speak when it's all on the floor
It sucks
That I can't speak my mind
When these fuckers fucking suck a fuck
It sucks
'Cause I believe in a world
That's much bigger than yours
With people and places and all kinds of faces
I'm a little bit unsure of things
But I wanted to believe in human kind
I guess it shouldn't bother me
When we repeat the past a hundred million times

and you're stunning all in hand-me-downs
taking all the breath right out the room
and you made it all feel safe inside
shaking like a leaf right where you are
and i want you to know
you have power over me
and you made it all feel safe inside
shaking like a leaf right where you are
i've never been one
to point out the sky
but i'm right there
if you just turn your eye
