Symptoms persisting through the night
No pill, no remedy to remind me
Of tired eyes on the other side
And the bed always beckons
Despite stale sheets
Promising retreat to promiscuous dreams
A lie if I’ve ever heard one
Never kept straight what to share or keep discreet
A forgettable face to evade the
Blame all the crumbs on the white lies
We're shoveling minutia around our minds
We’re caught in life with habit as our guide
We're shoveling minutia around our minds
We’re caught in life with habit as our guide

I'm Gonna Eat Your House
03:24
|

|
On the crow’s nest
By the river
Wear the halo
I remember
Fickle shower
Tattered flowers
Features fading
Muffled hours
Keys and treasures
In the baggage
A part of me now
Peace and passage
Calming downfall
Quickly slowing
Sneak upstairs now
Without me knowing
I’m gonna eat your house [repeated]
I think I’m here
I think I’m here now

If this isn’t nice then I don’t know what it could be
Apocalypse together with me
It could be
Apocalypse together with me
I have all I want
I have all I want
I have it all [repeated]
I have all I want
I have all I want
I have it all [repeated]
I have all I want
I have all I want
I have it all [repeated]
I have all I want

Grey silhouettes
Static sun resist the night
Fleeting hues
Crystalize
Cities breathe
Choices break and fractalize
Perpetual
8:35
And all the all of all in all
And all the all of all in all
And all the all of all in all
And all the all of all in all
Never undersea
Never under me
Never fortify
Sappers undermine
Never undersea
Never under me
Never fortify
Sappers undermine
Never undersea
Never under me
Never fortify
Sappers undermine
Never undersea
Never under me
Never fortify
Sappers undermine

Keys & Cages
03:30
|

|
There is a seed
Under my house
It’s turning into
A sapling
It’s tearing up floorboards
Consuming the place
Every last
Wall and frame
I wish I could see the present like a fond memory
I’ve forgotten more things than I’ve ever learned
I wish I could see the present like a fond memory
I’ve forgotten more things than I’ve ever learned

What the Clock Sees
05:04
|
|||
|
Bury in the backyard
Sepsis sinking in
Layer over concrete
Find the next of kin
Time an empty room
Stars are cracking soon
Leaders follow suit
Climb inside the moon
I know
Coffee for two
Stories on the run
Held up at gunpoint
Shoot into the sun
I know
What the clock sees [repeated]

Vega Lights
04:45
|
|||
|
Huffing all the time now
Gazing at the windmills
Never moving an inch
Sweetwater
With unrelenting rain
Flooding the horizon
Driving past the detours
Living for my plans and not much else
Never know the
lights of Vega
Never know the
lights of Vega
Never know the
lights of Vega
Never know the
lights of Vega

With Your Flowers
04:13
|

|
I was surprised to see you fumble
With your flowers on the table
It was the first time
You saw your parent’s decline
On decline
Softly repeated
Separate within
Crippled and crooked
Decay before your kin
Softly repeated
Separate within
Crippled and crooked
Decay before your kin

Ageist
05:06
|

|
The sunlight cut my eyes
The day I realized I’d leave you
My ignorance concealed the things
I didn’t know I’d do
It’s taken everything I’ve got
To find some sincerity
The more days pass
The more I forget what made me
There’s nothing harder than going home
And realizing all your friends are grown
Now every day feels exactly the same
All ageists eventually age
