This is a song about breaking up, not because you want to, but because it seems like the best thing for both of you. Or maybe thats just how you rationalise it to yourself. Started working on this over a year ago but decided to not redo any of the guitars and do the best I could with it. Maybe that was a bad decision. If I ever decide to rerecord it I could probably make it sound better.  Kinda just wanted to get it out there and move on from the song (for now).

Lyrics:
Don’t do this easily
Don’t wanna cause you strife
Slowly killing us, I can’t safeguard your life
So much we could work on, so hard to find the time
Between breakups and breakdowns
Between half truths and lies

It’s not for myself
It’s for us both there is something wrong
We both need some more help
Taking our time, but everything leads back to this

Unhealthy partnership unhealthy minds
Searching for something you never find
Build it back to normal
Build walls in our lives
Between breakups and breakdowns
Between half truth and lies 

It’s not for myself
It’s for us both there is something wrong
We both need some more help
Wasting our time, cus everything leads back to this

I promised you this wouldn’t happen
A promise I could never keep
Both our worlds are so misshapen
This is what we really need
I’m ending this right now
Just need to find a way out

It’s not for myself
It’s for us both there is something wrong
We both need some more help
Taking our time, but everything leads back to this

---LYRICS---

i'm not praying for a rapture, after
all these things will be 
fractured and fucked up 
in a world thats chewing us up
show me your greed, none of your needs

What do you see
nothing can breathe
the violence it breeds
clamps down and

Kingdoms wont fall
if we don't fight them all
through your sweat and blood
you must crawl through it all

Greed

Lyrics
No one to see me
Enjoy through the city
Man keep thy onus, they can mess all around
Gallery, café, see comedy
When they felt inanimate, stopped nearby
All them. They would rather, All close, their eyes
Bad faith. padak padak    nal ah   noljahaedo,  molla
Que faire ? Ça paie ? Va dehors ça va te plaire.
How come you and us are living in the different world I wonder
Over phone screens in the city. We can fly and see you all.  
But it feels incomplete when you can hear what we say
Please come and stop here, enjoy the scenery
Dear friend, be a brother with us pigeons  

(inst)

Bread on the floor, run to the door
Life is so romantic with the bakeries croissant,
Street buffet, all for us
Coo-coo we say, watch from above
Fancy lights and buildings, are all just for us
At the Cuckoo cafe awesome cookies and cream
Dance and laugh coocoo with waffle above the merry-go-round

Coocoo Cafe

Cursory glance
To deliberate blinds
The realities of the knowing eyes
Pushed me to move
Rearrange a few lies
Love showered me in praise left me to dry

Prodigy child 
To prodigal son
The fascination in “be all but one”
Left me to be
Mediocre at some
Couldn’t take it alone
But couldn’t give up the gun

Now everything is so heavy
Heavy on my mind
Wanna say I’m not ready
But time isn’t mine
Try to keep it steady
And hold on tight
But everything is so heavy
Heavy all the time

Love of a child
To love for a day
The narrowing of life swept years away
Urged me to beg
Forgotten lives to stay
Memories are strong but not enough to sway

Now everything is so heavy
Heavy on my mind
Wanna say I’m not ready
But time isn’t mine
Try to keep it steady
And hold on tight
But everything is so heavy
Heavy all the time

And I could pretend the hurting wasn’t here
But closing both of my eyes it won’t make
All the weight disappear
And I could ask to lay my cross down for the day
But it can’t stop now
It couldn’t stop anyway
Could you help me carry it 
Could you help me carry it
Could you help me

‘Cause everything is so heavy
Heavy all the time
Wanna say I’m not ready
But time isn’t mine
Try to keep it steady
And hold on tight
But everything is so heavy
Heavy all the time

Everything is so heavy
Heavy all the time x4

Heavy

Fun fact: did a straight shot and clicked don't save, lost the project.

Mistaking

rancid thoughts

Haunted World

One More Minute

Does it taste like copper in here?

Conductivity?
An electron symphony
With maximum BPMs? 
Full of notions — or maybe sound and fury? 
Synthesizing nothing. 

Some nothing to live for. Some nothing to die for. 
Neuroplasticity gone awry. 
Outsides are inside now. 
The strings spark with static, never youth. 

Let's dance to grim dirges and soulful elegies. 
Dance our deaths away.
Dangling like marionettes
From necrotic umbilical cords
And the strings the old hangman can still pull... 

Swaying in the breeze.

Lyrics:
I know I’ve been living on the road
I know I’ve been searching for a home
I know I’ve been looking down the lane
I know I’ve been walking in the rain

And I feel low and I’m just sopping in the rain
And I think I’m ready to go
But I wonder if it’s worth it if I stay
And I feel like I’m just working all the time
And I’m not ready to die
But god, it’s just so hard to be alive sometimes

And I wonder if they’ll ever stop me
Wonder if they’ll ever see me
Wonder if they’ve really got me
Wonder if it’s ever gonna be

And I feel low and I’m just sighing in the rain
And I think I’m ready to go
But I wonder if it’s worth it if I stay
And I feel like I’m just working all the time
And I’m not ready to die
But god, it’s just so hard to be alive sometimes

And I feel low and I’m feeling strange
And I’m not ready to go 
But I wonder if it’s worth it if I stay
Wonder if it’s worth it if I stay
Wonder if it’s worth it if I stay
Wonder if it’s worth it if I stay
Wonder if it’s worth it if I stay
Wonder if it’s worth it 
Wonder if it’s worth it 
Wonder if it’s worth it if I stay
Wonder if it’s worth it 
Morning sky
