out of focus and half-asleep // blood’s racing, can’t fool myself // takes some effort to think things through and a shroud of silence and it’s killing you // but beyond all it’s hopeless // i’ll drown i can’t help it // ocean’s water is all I need // a raft to save me so i can breath // left in a daze and they all tie together to become this rift // and I’m tired and I’m lonely // all in all and if only // spent twenty hours erasing thoughts // i stumbled home and i lost myself // feels like i’m living in black and white // a chorus that I can not sing // but the dissonance surrounds me // all and all and if only // left uninspired by the thoughts that are taking me from the truth // overwhelmed by the things I’ve kept and I want this to be over
2.
two worlds have embraced // two worlds collided // the rules that you’d break // but don’t be decisive // the farest escape // a room where the light is // two worlds have embraced // two worlds have collided
3.
sea//grams 03:37
all through the water // deep and wide // they can’t swim but they still try // four in the mourning // we have spoke // find a line that will take you home // sisters and brothers // lay them down // take of what you’ve lost and have found // we are the future // we have the past // we are the silence who’s been dethroned // guidance light my way // fight it everyday // falling for a lie // search for reasons why // crying to the sound // you’re still not around // all through the water // deep and wide // they can’t swim but they still try // four in the mourning // we have spoke // find a line that will take you home

slumlord 04:09
if i could take this night and grieve an honest place // i’d break it into parts // red // green // the fire escape // it’s been so long I've tried to keep an honest pace // i’ll take it by the hand // repeat // for all my days // i don’t know the cause // or how to bring it back // a blinding effigy // i caught it in the act // a focus on it’s hold // a careless underpass // the feeling’s getting cold // new roses drown in mass // could come from anywhere // could come at anytime // i’m swallowing the words // i’m following the blind // alining to this space // a move across the line // they’re cutting through the herd // expanding everytime // if grief girls could disown from it and take it back // and feed them to the wolves // and eat the hearts they lack
5.
rain in august nights // take in harbor light // wait and try to find // it’s rain and water // brake in humid air // stay and try to stare // no it can't compare // it’s rain and water // fade and walking home // favorite alone // time to clear my head // it’s rain and water // broke another line take another kind // day and night i find // it’s rain and water
6.
the tide is high enough // lift the anchor // it’s time for me to leave // i’m moving on again // i’m sailing on and I know it’s harder to say that I did it right // no false moves but I know it’s all a lie // i didn’t want to lose what I thought that I always wanted // a silver locket that bears the name // a relic dedicated to a former love // if every aim was true then you wouldn’t have to be remembered // i really want to remember // the last time the sea seemed to be as calm as ocean blue // and as warm as the gold horizon // If my heart was colder and sheltered by the callus I would need // to never feel again // and be immune to the world around me
7.
rough waters 03:05
it’s been a while alive with this notion // alone i’m downing // i step into vessel unknowing // bow made of concrete // a chance if though the sea could come crashing // born of a torn kite // one and two // a thing that could help me // born on a cold night // you might break
8.
echoCOMplex 04:26
it’s hard to deny that those stories are told // chop it up to a rhythm and see where it goes // in need of a firm grasp // i’ll bring it to you // don’t want to be caught up in a verse that’s not true // reimagine the old guard and put it in place // knee deep in the old ash in a grave of mistakes // is it all you see // is it all you need // is your love the key // silent focus // regress // repress // recent knowledge // sunset remnants
9.
watts 103rd 03:37
west coast and london time it seems // you’re only happy in the summertime it seems // keep it all locked up inside and hope that it would pass in time // if it goes, it goes // if i leave, you’ll leave // if you cry, i’ll cry // with everything we know // with every chance we get // stubbornness is left // alone and on and on
10.
a wind as high and dry that often leaves a chill that only comes from a widows peak // a curious lust for life // they’re hunger pains // a need to raise the tide comes back again // i have to fight for the things that make me live
11.
mpls 03:56
i’ll share in the light // outside // i’ll share in the light if the light keeps coming
