Lyrics:

Today I feel like I am losing myself
My time's running out
Before I come back to the dust again
You can keep me busy with colloquial chimes
And nursery rhymes
And keep the darkness tucked away 'til then

Return to the perfect world we're in
To be rid of defects and live forever
Working together is neither good or bad
It's just humanity

Tell me I'm alive
And show me how you smile
Because I wonder how you live
(Wonder how you live)
Writing down these words forever
This is paradise
(This is paradise)
Running through your eyes
And it's own
Broken shard of sinless glass

Can't stand the rhythm of days of the week
I don't pity the meek
Their lucid dreams are quaint 'cause lately
Everyone's been so obsessed with killing themselves
It's bad for your health
To think about the way things were before

I slip through the cracks in my own skull
'Til I think clearly and save my future
I wish my brain was a lifeless database
And my future, machinery

Tell me I'm alive
And show me how you smile
Because I wonder how you live
(Wonder how you live)
Writing down these words forever
This is paradise
(This is paradise)
Running through your eyes
And it's own
Broken shard of sinless glass

Where did we all go?
I wonder if there's a god that even knows
The spaces in between the land and sea
Tell me there's a better place I need to be

I'll just
Take you by your poet's verse
Because my songs I write with made up words
You gotta be the best at what you do
And save being alive for the absent fool
Grab my being by the throat
And strip away every song I thought I wrote
Because being the best is like being the worst
If you can't get out of your poet's hearse

Artificial paradise
Come on tell me lies
I hate your world
And the thought of touching anything you kiss

Tell me I'm alive
And show me how you smile
Because I wonder how you live
(Wonder how you live)
Writing down these words forever
This is paradise
(This is paradise)
Running through your eyes
And it's own
Broken shard of sinless glass

I'm finally alive, 'cause I can't let go of my
Organic thoughts of feeling free
(I think I'm free)
To satisfy your world forever
Artificial paradise keep me 'til I die die die
Oh live forever live for free

Lyrics:
Spinning
In my mind
Just like the earth the rotation never stops
I feel consumed
Inside my head
Forever haunted by the things that it said
Echoes
In my heart
It's dancing ruthless
Got no rhythm or rhyme
There are no breaks
In this old train
Chugging endlessly like time on a string

Love
Is like the candy-coated complicated peace
That learns to hide behind our eyes

Keep shouting at the darkness
'Cause you're the only reason it stays
You know 
It's only gonna hurt us
Lest we fear and welcome it
Inside the home that we break
And still it keeps me awake
I'll let it end for our sake
So snuff it out you gotta conquer your mind

My thoughts
Are hidebound
I heard a scream but nobody was around
Just my own breath
Through frozen air
Too troubled by your inconvenience to care
Your drug
And your help
You've got the same god as everybody else
Still I complain
About the ordinary
But hell it's all I've ever wanted to be

Life
Is like the perfect dreams of everybody else
But I just keep on waking up

I can’t keep falling backwards
Through everything they told me before
On par with all the angels
Still no mercy with the endless game
And make it a chore
To fight myself evermore
The present leaving me worn
Because the future is a slave to the past

Life can’t be taught
It can only exist
Through the lens of your perception
That hides your soul behind your sins

Succumb
(You can't keep wasting your time)
To the pills
(Get your head back in line)
That keep you in reality
(Too many ways you could die)
(But only one kind of life, right?)
Under the sheet of my own
(You can't keep wasting your time)
(Get your head back in line)
Domineering disease
(Too many ways you could die)
(But only one kind of life, right?)

If I could only exist
With some control of this drifting
Because I'm only my self-awareness
Dreaming to forever be free

Lyrics:
Regain humanity
Within the silence of your sleep
Become calamity
And shout what you thought Was deep
Plea familiar lyrical
Profoundly copy paste
Write those feelings black and white
Just like the pictures you've defaced
Keep those memories
Within the threads from which you bleed

Reborn with nothing to remember for
Give life and take the time you used
Those symbols blurring in my ticker tape
Were all I thought I knew of you

Cremate the broken wings
That writhe with a memory
Peel back the tissue coat
So they could try to see that you’re a
Silent echoing
From the stitching of my dreams

This is hardly me
But I still mean to recall
Every time that I ever thought
You would seem so perfect

Reborn with nothing to remember for
Give life and take the time you used
Those symbols blurring in my ticker tape
Were all I thought I knew of you

In the meadow that only I will ever know
So despised by its design
My broken home
If a single window shatters, I will too
From the message written on my broken bones

Reborn with nothing to remember for
Give life and take the time you used
The ink that’s blotting out my ticker tape
This is the you I thought I’d lose

Catch me
I'm falling
Give birth
To love again
Sew us
A household
This stitch
Snaps with your peace

Lyrics:

Waiting for the train at the
End of your road
Emotions keep the street lights
Flickering low
You gotta get that loving cancer
Coursing through your system
Eating at the mind and soul
With every faint addiction
Full blown nihilism
Shoot it through your veins
Take it back to that dull moment
Standing in the rain
Wondering just where to go and
What to do and how to feel
About the short infinity
Where freedom waits for you to heal

I can't wait to watch the minutes change
And watch my dreams in fragments
Assemble yourself in the midst of the blank
And make this place your home

That mirror's glaring right back at you
You cannot sleep until you're through
If then comes the day you take my eyes with Plans make them new
Then inanimate I'll become for you

And return to feel
That I'm so ideal

I'm still waking up
In the middle of the day
'Cause I can't stop feeling like my body's
Fading away
While the night it pulls me in to keep me
Feeling like a specter
Basking in the riot of my
Self-obsessive lecture
If life is just a period
Of my own perceived experience
With gifts that come in myriads
With time to try experiments
But time to chip away at how
Relentless that perception gets
So cordial but fictitious
Happiness inside an empty chest

I can't wait to watch the minutes change
And watch my dreams in fragments
Assemble yourself in the midst of the blank
And make this place your home

That mirror's glaring right back at you
You cannot sleep until you're through
If then comes the day you take my eyes with Plans make them new
Then inanimate I'll become for you

I can't wait to watch the clockwork break
Just as the dawn in winter
Slowly the world falls asleep with my dreams
Because I don't want to wake

Find a shooting star burn bright and
Make it melt the dark of the void
Discover what my purpose is and
Find the parts of me you destroyed
I'm titanium-built
I'm lace, I'm silk
No part of me was ever meant to
Feel this faded
The unforgiving laziness of
Mine will end up praising us
And rays of light are gracing us

'Cause the future will be coming back to you
Left no part of it to live, to see, to do
