Intro 01:45

A child-like mind deprived A castle gone in the wave Aware this time, can that be me? Unfold, taking it all in A taste, a hint of ignorance Bright blue and neon green I know, I know, I know I dwell too much I'll just wait, I'm on my way An atmosphere so virgin Grow old to die and die to grow The heaviest weight to bear But I'm so close, these songs a sieve And days flow through undisturbed I know, I know, I know I dwell too much I dwell too much

High rise office buildings Cashiers, midnight stockers Thirty minute breathers Aging baby boomers Schitzophrenic, brainless Insecure and lonely Law books, calculators Restless people Average folk sent to the wells Unique just everybody else Average folk sent to the wells In this monochrome we Reminisce on colored Photographs and smiles We can't name at this point Faces in our daydreams Gone and most forgotten Just for this lifestyle Let's not look at the clock Average folk sent to the wells Unique like everyone else Average folk sent to the wells To the wells To the wells To the wells I swear, I'm not who you all are Look at me and bring them back The boys and girls we left at home The reason for us In this monochrome we Reminisce on colored Photographs and smiles We can't name at this point Average folk sent to the wells Unique like everyone else Average folk sent to the wells

One chapter, a drop in the pond He promised he won't be too long But he'll kneel and he'll pray So you think you've had enough? Thicken your skull and hold on We're in for a ride, boy The fun's just begun It's just Monday morning Of a long, long, long week Look back Look up
5.
These are the workings of the modern human heart The machines they drive Faulty and defective Working hard to ruin someone's day You know who you are And you know who you wanted She's waiting in line and complaining again Something didn't go her way And someone's gotta pay But her husband's at home preaching the words Of the republican lunatic Who's writing himself into an Orwell classic The daughter sold herself to a bunch of greek letters A philanthropist She's a torso in a doorframe chanting til the day she dies With his boots in the ground and his polo shirt tucked in The brother watches the gates Red solo cup in hand and an eye on the candy I'm coming too but they only let gals in So come on down with your gluten free fruit snacks And open wide And sing your politics When nobody asks Don't be offended When you're on the spot It's our decision And you're not in control Give me a break You're joking right? Now look at the man Who walks down the street And tell me who you think he is I know you'll see strange and I know you'll see mean And I know you'll see every fucking thing but I'll stand looking down on you who's lost it all, and lost what's next and lost what never could have been so dearest friend, i speak to save give us a break, give us a break you're nothing like the rest of us so step on down, down from your head and quit your childish masquerade and learn to feel under the skin and learn to hide what ends our time we're all defective and alive the truest man sees who you are and not who you wish you could be, the truest man sees who you are and not what they think you ought to be

Birdsong 06:18
No birdsong In these woods Acres of pine Messages You won't hear I never spoke Tell me this: Did you even notice? The week I went missing? The year I went missing? Or was there even a time You knew I was there? I'm sorry my heart beats I'm sorry it loves I'm sorry you're perfect And god Oh god I'm so sorry For what you'll be And as I walk Through these Acres of pine I will wonder Why I Wrote this fucking song For you But I hope you hate this one as much as I do

Happy Days 04:46
A distant storm to end the night The pitter patter on the glass The laughter after street kids cry "Spring is here, oh spring is here" Then drive and drive to New Orleans And San Anto and Mickey Mouse While watching english rock bands play The baritone and timpani At football games and marching shows You smoked and drank on heaven's day On Saturdays of video games The Bellas Artes Sessions ring The bedroom conversation scene Your mind drifts back to senior year To watching everybody bend And grow and stretch and fall in place But they'll be back eventually And I'll be back from Mexico And you'll be back from Timbuktu The people that you're singing for That slept in everybody's house That housed the festival you shared And now you've realized what they are They're happy days, they're happy days And now you've realized what they are They're happy days, they're happy days
8.
Settle Down 04:24
In deep blue bliss I purged As you spiralled Around my plunge A cathartic, Nostalgic fall, To bed To outer space Towards sea That sinking ship My own hand Reaches for help And I'll reach back One day And when I woke I'd missed it all The golden age And planet earth We've seen so much And ask for more We've just begun And just Finished
9.
Bella, Bella 08:18
I don't speak to talk And I write to draw And I don't have the words Or a prayer to give Well not anymore I'm just making noise Till it sounds pretty Or pretty fucked up And don't get me wrong I'm present among Every last note That echoes right now And I'm bleeding into The wavelengths you hear But the moon won't exist If nobody looks at it More than an hour My message is clear I have more to say But I'm losing my voice You're no longer here Or you never were I would've left too After hearing one chord Thousands of trumpets All playing for you A fanfare so gray And heard everyday He turned his horn back And he played on his own His color was lost And he's losing it too It's not three minutes And it's not top fifty But hey it's human And more alive too It isn't refined And it isn't dancing It's moving as hell And it's nothing at all It's nothing at all Well not anymore Give me more reasons To pop the champagne I said give me more reasons To pop the champagne It's been almost six years And I'm dying to live But hey you never know This could be the last Miserable whimper I'll whisper into The ears of my peers And microphone stand I've got better things to do And a new word to say But till that time Here's a story of mine Walk across the oceans The waves beneath my feet Those faces still Reach for me So say goodbye Just in case Say goodbye Just in case Here we are And here we were Twenty long years I've got better things to do now 'Cause darling you don't mean a thing And I'm sitting in doldrums Reaching from happy days (Losing luminosity Till they're just stars Among stars One day I'll look at you and feel What you see in me And I'll feel nothing) Soon I'll detach

Incus 05:26
I'm going guys I'm calling it day Just let me know If it died in vain This isn't pain This isn't heartbreak This isn't anger This is just routine It's so very beautiful And so very dead And I'll die with it But its been a pleasure You're no friend or foe You're everything else Like everyone else You're so very beautiful And you're so very dead And I'll die with it Something's ahead Just after you And since all I do Is just for you I need to prepare I need to embrace The season Of godspeeds To come It's so very beautiful And so very dead And I'll die with it But its been a pleasure You're no friend or foe You're everything else Like everyone else You're so very beautiful And you're so very dead And I'll die with it I'm not sure how long Of a walk this will be You're looking at me But I'm not what you see And I'm not in this moment And I'll never venture forth The metalshop behind my ears The burning tears, the past few years And you You make me so happy, but joy isn't love And at this point I've felt Everything between treason, good riddance And a gorgeous disease The nothingness inside your eyes Is the same one I feel As I picture what my future holds With you somewhere in sight And your roseless bloom Inspires me to write down my plight I've been playing my serenade Since the evening you came into And my blood ridden fingertips Can't find words to describe And the same cat that took my tongue Isn't listening now And the people that you stack on me Know what I am And they're pulling you over my head They're pulling you up from the earth I can't reach, or call you down Because the ground I'm buried underneath Is no place for angels oh God damn it I've been here before I know now how this walk will end We'll reach a drop, a mile high A flight that you cannot survive So look at me one more time Because I'm not there, I'm up ahead

My Prospect 08:56
(So let's go And pray That one day We'll sing side by side)

Different 07:03
I fear we'll only have the moon to share Past the city limits and the autumn's eve You will find me there, I'll find you here In the second life, in someone's shoes A different name, but not in flesh In spirit and in memory Dance the distance prove me wrong I hope I'm wrong, I hope I'm wrong Return whenever it may be You'll be there when I'm not Things will be good and things will be bad But I'll stay here, a heart that's stuck asleep Laughing in pain Peaceful death is for the weak So I'll throw myself into the sun (You've got great things ahead Just hope that you grew inside) And you just started And it'll never be over But that's what I think Just a little lost I'll be okay You've been everything I needed in this life I'll be coming back someday A more familiar face Don't let me return like this

The Archive 04:37
This one's for the night My own outer space Will fall you through Dear god, I am mad We said it ourselves We said it once again My moons will align I waited for the Act of creation Dear god, I am mad That's the best I've had Take me jupiter In your eye Nothing never fails Just keep waiting there And I've waited long enough

I'm sorry if I insult you and I'm pleased that I have flattered you If you happen to be just an outsider, be rest assured Disregard all of my words, cuz everything went just my way

about

6 years in the making

Hey you never know, this could be the last miserable whimper I'll whisper into the ears of my peers and microphone stand

Enjoy
