Running

I don’t know what we’re always running from
But we keep the motor running til we die
And I don’t know what we’re always running from
But we keep the motor running til it goes
You hold me incredibly and devastatingly close
We feel what we are and act in accordance
A veil has been lifted and we’re giving up control
Cause the last ones lead lives of desperation
I don’t know just what we’re always running from
But we keep the motor running til we die
And I don’t know just what we’re always running from
But we keep the motor running til it goes
You hold me incredibly and devastatingly close
We feel what we are and act in accordance
A veil has been lifted and we’re giving up control
Cause the last ones lead lives of desperation
There’s no heroes with hearts of gold
Start it over again
There’s no heroes just winding roads
Start it over again
A sea of red tail lights lighting up the river styx
Cruise control halo when they’re squirming in the pits
There’s a crown of thorns poking at your fingertips
Glorifying martyrs while their suffering persists
And I don’t know just what we’re always running from
But we keep the motor running til we die
And I don’t know just what we’re always running from
But we keep the motor running til it goes
You hold me incredibly and devastatingly close
We know what we are and act in accordance
A veil has been lifted but it’s good to be (here now / with you)
Cause the last ones lead lives of immolation

Yearning
02:57
|
|
||
Yearning to dispense with novelty but no one liked it
Yearning for the days when you were a brutal tigress
Back to the place where apathy so uninviting
Beneath the vines that’s where you’ll find it
And you try to go back to there
You used to have conviction.
Decaying earth beneath our soles, take us back to what we were

I double back and cross my path again,
wondering what it was I might have seen in that direction
I double back and cross my path again,
wondering what it was I might have seen in that direction
Misplaced faith in marketing schemes, humility placed in mindless machines.
I double back and cross my path again,
wondering what it was I might have seen in that direction
Buzzing static in your skull, wet grass beneath your soles
I hope to see you soon. I pray for the moon
I double back and cross my path again,
wondering what it was I might have seen in that direction
I double back and cross my path again,
wondering what it was I might have seen in that direction
Disheartening resilience to transformation,
just as dream worlds give sway to nightmares
I double back and cross my path again,
wondering what it was I might have seen in that direction
Buzzing static in your skull, wet grass beneath your soles
I hope to see you soon. I pray for the moon

Locusts
02:44

|

3 a.m. is a solemn time
Apparitions in the witching hour
We circumnavigate the pitfalls
Of tired truths and worn-out prospects
It’s summertime when the locust spits
Remember once you told me
A face descended in your dreams
And he told you everything belonged to, belonged to
I had a dream about this.
She wrapped her hands around my neck
Tossed around the underdark, jarred awake and reality set
It’s summertime when the locust spits
Remember once you told me
Things changed when you saw a body
Now there’s no more buzzin on the western side
No more buzzin on the western side.
All those years swept into dust
Too much time spent fucking off
You can never give enough
Until the atom splits, until the atom splits
And when you awoke, you went outside and you saw the sun
All the dreams of yesterday dissipate in a violent haze
And everything has been reborn, and everything is in its right place
And everything is where it should be, and everything just fell to pieces
The smoothest parts slipping under
Slipping under

Monsters
03:34
|
|

Sirens blaring east and west
Structure burning up and down
Turn the lock and break the key
I was thinking you and me
You can’t destroy monsters with whimsy
You can’t destroy monsters with whimsy
Old worlds are dying out
Old worlds are dying out
New ones to be reborn
New ones to be reborn
You can’t destroy monsters with whimsy
You can’t destroy monsters with whimsy
Sirens blaring east and west
Structure burning up and down
Turn the lock and break the key
I was thinking you and me
You can’t destroy monsters with whimsy
You can’t destroy monsters with whimsy
Carnivore dogs ride in the shade pumping their brakes (?)
Destined to break, carnivore dogs don’t tell me to wait
Carnivore dogs you’ll be too late
Living mundane sisyphean smile day after day day after day
Fading into eternity to the sound of coffee stained lullabies
Lines of text depart as quickly as they arise like evaporating daydreams
[Indiscernable] for getting lost in those dense thickets
Carnivore dogs don't tell me to wait
Carnivor dogs drawing on pain
Don't tell me to wait
Living mundane sisyphean smile day after day day after day
Old worlds are dying out
Old worlds are dying out
New ones to be reborn
New ones to be reborn
You can’t destroy monsters with whimsy
You can’t destroy monsters with whimsy
No.

Succumb
02:53
|
|
||
The quickest path
To self immolation
The generative ethos
Of all generations
So sick and tired
So sick and empty
Try to pick up the pieces
That get lost in the ether
Yeah maybe doesn’t matter
Doesn’t matter to me either
Overstimulation
Look at the people
Decaying necropolis
Carving out a window
To a new world
To a new world
You never meant to
You never meant to
Open it up (x??)
Bleeding dry
Bones are numb
You never meant to
You never meant to become

Zen

Hurling through the long abyss
Suffering's a noble truth (for you) (for you)
Burning feet on placid pavement
It's not gonna last forever (for you) (for you)
Can you find
peace of mind
Constant flail and tunnel vision
Wandering through vapid schisms (for you)(for you)
Alpha waves ebb and flow
Burning minds in chromacast (for you) (for you)
Waves crashing
can't subside
Well the mountain's high
You can't go the whole way
Maybe not this life
Maybe not the next one
And so you told me
Told me how it felt
To feel it most with
Noise falling all around
Hurling through the long abyss
Suffering's a noble truth (for you) (for you)
Burning feet on placid pavement
It's not gonna last forever (for you) (for you)
Constant flail and tunnel vision
Wandering through vapid schisms (for you)(for you)
Alpha waves ebb and flow
Burning minds in chromacast (for you) (for you)
lotus blooms
in the wild

Moments
02:58
|
|

Everyday, vivid dreams fall from my head
Used to wield words as weapons, but I must have dulled the edge
Years go by faster in this bucket that I’ve bled
Ancient heartbeats fade, my mind grows duller instead
I sip the salty slumber, etch runes into my knuckles
Think in certain spans of characters and numbers
Grow circles ‘round my eyelids
Burn the rest, papyrus
And await the day again when there’s fire in my iris
I can’t wait for these moments to grind me into nothingness
Ancient capillaries fan out like catacombs, catacombs
From your rotten mouth, spill seraph tones, seraph tones
I sip the salty slumber, etch runes into my knuckles
Think in certain spans of characters and numbers
Grow circles ‘round my eyelids
Burn the rest, papyrus
And await the day again when there’s fire in my iris
I can’t wait for these moments to grind me into nothingness

Rain

Pray for rain
It’s coming to me
Isolated
That’s how it should be
And when it’s raining
It’s all I see
When it’s raining
It’s all I see
It’s all I see
Windshield breaks
After days of drought
Wash away
All the doubt
Emaciated
It’s coming to me
Emancipated
It’s all I need
It’s all I need

Terrarium
04:02
|
|

When it comes breaking through the window
Of your terrarium
When it all comes spilling over
I hope you find your way
I hope you find the way
I hope you find your way out
I hope you find what’s best
Like water boiling over
On growing blades of grass
Grains of rice come spilling over
I hope you find your way
I hope you find the way
I hope you find your way out
I hope you find what’s best
