This intro reminds me of Xenoblade so much

Question: Is the bpm constantly changing in this song, gradually speeding up? Or is it just the drums giving the illusion of that? XD

agh these lyrics are intelligent as frick

Proud of these songs! I hope you can find some meaning and enjoyment in them.

Falsework

i got another one in the chamber
you thought that my collection would break
my sight isn’t really much clearer… no.
but i got i gotta find a way

was blaming you
and not me
who thought the world would be the enemy

i saw a different side of the future
i wish that all i got was the pain... yea
i thought that my obsession to be here
would be the cause of me completing today.

but i lost
it’s all gone
this is the end
no one is coming for me
was blaming you
and not me
who thought the world would be the enemy

i got a different side of the future
i thought that my collection would break. yea...
my sight isn’t really much clearer… no.
but i got i gotta find a way. yea...

but i lost
it’s all gone

no one is coming for me

(Verse 1)
Another day, another reason not to look up
Wash your eyes, stay inside
Try your hardest to forget who we are
Strangers with common pasts
(We are strangers with common pasts)
It's alright, it's alright
Though there's barely any time
It's okay, just look at me and jump off the fence
I know you'll make it

(Chorus)
I know you'll make it
I know you'll make it

How many moments apart
Lost in the dark
How did you and I become so different?
You brought the raging tides
And the wings to fly
What I'd give to be you again
Myself in the past

(Verse 2)
I don't believe in enough anymore
I can barely write this song
Rock bottom, mess up, get back up
Don't call me on my phone
I'll pick up and hang up

There's a reason I suppose
Why you stay up late alone
It's cause a glimpse of the future would hurt
One where you didn't care at all

(Pre Chorus)
Was it worth it losing everyone you knew?
It will be harder now
I hope you'll see this through
Caught in a riptide doing everything for you
If we make it out I'll leave it all to you

(Chorus)
I know you'll make it
I know you'll make it

How many moments apart
Lost in the dark
How did you and I become so different?
You brought the raging tides
And the wings to fly
What I'd give to be you again
Myself in the past

(Bridge)
What's the point
Too late to go back now
I'll stay and rot
Like everyone else does
Is it impossible to live again?
(Like everyone else does)
Maybe we can
And maybe we cannot
But I wanna try
And find what I stand for
Maybe you'll understand along the way

(Pre Chorus II)
I know
You're too young to have everything it takes
But you can't afford to give up
And let it go to waste
So we'll try
We'll try to face the tide
We'll try

(Chorus II)
As we're restless
Staying restless
Staying restless through the night
As we're restless
Staying restless
Staying restless all our lives
As we're restless
Staying restless
Staying restless through the night
As we're restless
Staying restless
Staying restless all our lives
All our lives

(Chorus)
All our lives, all our lives, all our lives
All our lives, all our lives, all our lives

How many moments apart
Lost in the dark
How did you and I become so different?
You brought the raging tides
And the wings to fly
What I'd give to be you again
How many moments apart
Lost in the dark
Maybe you and I could find another way
I've had a change of heart
Will gladly take it back
Everything that I said to you
Myself in the past

lyrics:

sunlight on my face
I'll try every day
don't say it's my way
cause you'll see it someday

well you said something
I got it
your worried stayed
I'm listening
you're waiting but
I got no say

don't say it's the only way
the light cuts me through the day
but I know, I know you'll see through it

settle down here and have some fun
I promise things wont come undone

don't say it's the only way
the wind goes around my face
but I know, I know you'll get there too

sunlight on your face
we'll try every day
let's say it's our way
when we see it some..

sunlight on my face
I'll try every day
don't say it's my way
cause you'll see it someday
sunlight on my face
I'll try every day
don't say it's my way
cause you'll see it someday

I’m drowning in this temporary ecstasy
I’m never quite who I intend to be
And seeing the world like you never did
Growing up but still a stupid kid

I wanna fill the empty space
Just today
This feeling never stays
Tomorrow we’ll be alone again
’Til then I’ll swallow the poison

Four years flew right by
Stuck here, I can’t decide
Wanted to feel alive
Wish that I had the time
Chasing
Changing
I’m so uncomplacent 
I just want another day

Another day to fill the space
Another chance I can’t replace
Among the crowd I’m just a face
Don’t worry, I’m ok
But if it all comes crashing down
I don’t know if I’ll come around
Another war I should’ve fought
Don’t tell me what I want

I wanna fill the empty space
Just today
This feeling never stays
Tomorrow we’ll be alone again
’Til then I’ll swallow the poison

I’ll swallow your poison
Your flesh and your bones
And I’ll stay here with you ’til it’s over
Time took my friends
And I’m nothing without them
The ink turns to black in the winter

I wanna fill the empty space
Just today
This feeling never stays
Tomorrow we’ll be alone again
’Til then I’ll swallow the poison

I wanna fill the empty space
Just today
This feeling never stays
Tomorrow we’ll be alone again
’Til then I’ll swallow the poison

TOMORROW WE'LL BE

Lyrics:
Big voices on the radio
Hushed whispers on the telephone
Thin walls, open airwaves
A cold case becomes a hot zone

There’s always an agenda
Only white knights and renegades
Pushing out a prejudice
And calling it “Lemonade”

They’ll always try to buy stars above
They’ll always lie about who they love
You’ve heard the names
Fake numbers get ahead in the game so
When’s push gonna come shove?

Don’t feed me tall tales
I’ll spit ‘em right back at you
You don’t know anything that nobody didn’t tell you
So don’t blame the skeptics
For thinking out loud
In the battle of headroom, it’s a fight for the foreground

It takes a crowd to change a scene
No more readers to write the magazines
Betting we won’t recognize
That they decide when the rules don’t apply

Don’t feed me tall tales
I’ll spit ‘em right back at you
You don’t know anything that nobody didn’t tell you
So don’t blame the skeptics
For thinking out loud
In the battle of headroom, it’s a fight for the foreground

I know I’m not alone
In using a microphone to say
What I think should be said
I’m running it in the red

Don’t feed me tall tales
I’ll spit ‘em right back at you
You don’t know anything that nobody didn’t tell you

Lyrics:
I’m sick of living with this cloud inside my head
An echo chamber of the worst things that I’ve said
One-sided conversations getting me nowhere
I’m wasting time sinking in my chair
External stimuli are few and far between
I’ve extracted all the kicks I can from caffeine
I need someone who’s not afraid to call the shots
Someone who can connect the missing dots

First take
Let’s try a new progression no one else could make
It might not come together, babe, but just in case
Let’s run it from the top and roll the tape
Later on tonight
When you go on your way and I go on mine
I’ll play it back and see if any moments shine
I hope this one grows in time

I’ll keep my head down I’ve been burned this way before
That sparkle always dies down till it bores me
As time goes by, I keep expecting it fade
But her name keeps jumping off the page
Noticing subtleties that used to be washed out
Enjoy the silences that used to fill with doubt
I might concede if I’d been properly prepared
But I gotta say, I thought I’d be more scared

First take
Let’s try a new progression no one else could make
It might not come together, babe, but just in case
Let’s run it from the top and roll the tape
Later on tonight
When you go on your way and I go on mine
I’ll play it back and see if any moments shine
I hope this one grows in time

Pin-point the satellite
Rewet the appetite
Stay up until the sun runs off into the night
Wake up the daydreams
Call off the search team
I think you’re already deep into my bloodstream

First take
Let’s try a new progression no one else could make
It might not come together, babe, but just in case
Let’s run it from the top and roll the tape
Later on tonight
When you go on your way and I go on mine
I’ll play it back and see if any moments shine

Lyrics:
Going ten over the limit when I didn’t have a place to be
I was dreaming ‘bout the future, but the present got away from me
I only focused on a measure, and I didn’t hear the whole symphony
I didn’t hear the beauty

Called my mother, couldn’t help her on a crossword question
She’s a wordsmith, it’s a daily obsession
I wonder if she sees in me her own reflection

Don’t wait up for the closure
It won’t ring the door bell
We live and then we die, no other order
But we all process each moment in parallel

On the water with dad, hoping we might get a couple bites
But there’s a rain coming in, all we’re catching is tangled lines
We’ll laugh it off, sing a song, and try another time

I don’t deserve this
So many blessings on my plate
I gotta keep the most important thing straight

Big brother’s on, gonna log in and play a few
Hundreds of miles away, and we’re right back in the groove
He’s a constant even when I don’t know what to do

Lyrics:
Tracking down a runaway claim
Sifting through the trail of blame
A full review, long overdue
I’m taking myself back by the roots
Hiding in a popular cause
Bathed in undeserved applause
A constant plug, a modern drug
Scared I’ve forgotten how to love

“I don’t think I can change,” says me, the hypocrite
I don’t know why I waited to issue my personal permit
If I could do as I say, tomorrow would have been today
No more too-lates, I’m tired of saying it
I sold myself in chains to muscle memory
I put in too much of my time to watch it bury me
If I could do as I say, I’d be proud of yesterday
No more halfway to full recovery

Salvaging a faded grin
Looking from the outside in
A wounded man with folded hands
Can’t seem to follow his own plans (frozen where he stands)
Written off a story line
Simplified a complex sign
The curtain breaks, a twist of fate
Now’s not the time to hesitate

I’ve been a beggar, I’ve worn a crown
I’ve seen a sunrise skip along the ground
I’ve flipped the tables, I’ve changed the terms
I’ve tried every method but I can’t heal the burns

Lyrics:
Calendar is open, the furniture’s dated
If I go out tonight, don’t wanna be persuaded
Running out of faces, it’s a failing structure
Go back to square one, and start with a whisper

Saved until it’s remade
Received but no relay
It was nothing but a first draft
It didn’t have an ounce of contrast
Another short-term getaway
A still frame in a time lapse

It served its purpose, moments of focus
I saw the future slip by unnoticed
It lives in the falsework and stays undercover
I hope my current state can hold the weight until it wants to be heard

Tip-toe over bridges that haven’t had upkeep
It might spell disaster to bet it all on black sheep
Every great idea has a long history
And every tower gets swallowed in the sea

Nail on nail, steel on steel
Construct myself in piecemeal
Skeletal and faceless
Unfinished empty spaces

Proud of these songs! I hope you can find some meaning and enjoyment in them.

Lyrics:
Brick walls
Stumbling on a windfall
The bench is split, I’m losing it
Letting off steam
Stretching out the seams
The tension’s gone, I’m moving on

Dry land
Working with a fresh hand
The river flips, I’m jumping ship
Flooded ground
But I know I won’t drown
Head high, take to the sky

The path in front of me might make turns in sharp degrees
Lower the center of gravity
Don’t rub shoulders with a wave until it breaks
Move on and make some headway

Neck deep
Standing on two feet
A runner’s lift, a wanderer’s drift
Break the skin
And mend it back again
A falling scar, a hard restart

Good fortune makes a fickle friend
Don’t get too familiar with rising trends
Stay the course, ride out the storm
And come out of the water reborn

Headway

Proud of these songs! I hope you can find some meaning and enjoyment in them.

Lyrics:
When did we turn up our voices so loud
We don’t see eye to eye on anything now
Loosing words over the lines that we drew
We’ve got some work to do to get to the root

Clean out the attic
Cut the feedback
It can get dramatic
When opposites attack

Two territories getting smashed into one
A war of attrition has already begun
Who says we can’t make a truce for one night
Maybe negotiate by candlelight

I’ve left my weak side exposed
And left the burner on the stove
For the safety of our lives
On three, let’s both apologize

Opposites Attack!

I put this up here 11 months ago, and now it's the first single for my album, Recomposure. Out October 18th!

Overspace & Jenceno - Outerbound (Feat. Slyleaf)

Collapse / Expand isn't a concept EP, but it is aptly named. Each of these songs survived multiple, heavy reworks and they landed where they are now. The title also comes from the fact that a lot of things seem to be ending or beginning or growing.

Lyrics:
Make another pivot
I'm right within reach
Not certain I can get it
It won't be easy

Screaming at the thunder
till the voice hurts
Some days I wonder
just what it's all worth

Still got a little ways to go
but I don't wanna wait to know
We've tested the water long enough
Familiar paralysis
of never breaking out of this
I think it's time we step it up

Life's moving fast for all the right reasons
Narrow window to hit the peak season
Now's the time to play our cards
Listen to our restless hearts

Another cold winter
Another wet spring
Another dry July with memories lingering

Soon it'll be autumn
when the lights die down
We're gonna be louder when the new year rolls around

Still got a little ways to go
but I don't wanna wait to know
We've tested the water long enough
Familiar paralysis
of never breaking out of this
I think it's time to step it up

Life's moving fast for all the right reasons
Narrow window to hit the peak season
Now's the time to play our cards
Listen to our restless hearts

Still got a little ways to go
but I don't wanna wait to know
We've tested the waters long enough
Familiar paralysis
of never breaking out of this
No I'm not giving up

Full Recovery
