Lyrics:

There’s angst, but there’s always hope 
There’s always hope
All aboard our armed waters
Where there’s sometimes hope 
There’s sometimes home
And I’m looking out, looking out over seas of 
Just waves
There’s no even flow, any place to go
These days they say there’s always hope 
There’s always hope

The anchor’s dry
We’re swelling, sullen shattered sufferers in no wind 
Lets begin
With a vulgar display
Where I stare all day
Simply waste away
Even now, when I know
There’s always hope
There’s always hope

But I’m living with you
And living with you is like a heart attack some days
It’s a heart attack some days
Living with you is like a heart attack some days
Heart attack
We’ll never get back cause we can’t find the words to say 
No we can’t find the words to say
And I don’t think we’ll find our....

I spilled blood in his Stark attack 
Visits in my dreams
Isn’t coming back
Said he felt nothing
Wasn’t nothing for me
Wanted to know where your heart was at
The living litmus test taints it all black
Coming back from this is something
That I don’t see
We’re crushed bones in the coal mine
We’re blister sucking slugs in the sunshine
Went through something that I never could believe 
You’ll never know what it did to me
When you stood atop my heart
So I couldn’t just grieve
Losing him’s a feeling that I’ll never relieve
Don’t you know you’ve got a
Broke mind

Living with you is like a heart attack some days

Life... [blows raspberry]

Lyrics:

When will it end, division of sense?
If you’re not asleep, blink twice for me
Dark curtains are drawn over all of the lands
If you’re not asleep, blink twice for me

In this pale fire light lull the tongues of Lucifer’s sons
Hands unfeeling are coddling seedlings
Want to spread in cells (incels)
Whispered plans to begin to strip the lions of their skins
Inveterate scum who’ll never hesitate to venerate
The wants of old white men so prepare for the end

While some die in the heat
Some redefine the violence of hate
Someone’s not someone lest somebody profits Redlined to rebuke their say
There ain’t no use in trying
When there’s no means of getting away
Watch the cues at the food banks
When you’re worse off calling the cops
Than digging graves

When will it end? Listen to me my friends
If you’re not asleep, blink twice for me
Any humans here, can we learn to forget?
If you’re not asleep, blink twice for me

Cause all days end for you and me
Release your jaw
Or we’ll rip it off

I wish you would have stayed home
I wish we could have stayed home
