why would you complicate this path that you've been on? through experimental years the feelings still not gone. you look back now and the past is right in front of you to say we were listening. with your words still ringing in my ears, when will you find your way back here? with bloody broken strings you carried on, for 27 years has it been that long? you look back now and the past is right in front of you to say we were listening. if this weight is hard for you to hold, just keep trying fucking hard and don't let go.

I've had no time to think or reason there's too much life here on my plate I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't dream I can't do anything above these wheels that carry me so I pretend that I can feel the warm wet sun upon my face and I remember where we started from so I pretend that I can taste the salt air breathe it in 1000 times close your eyes and find your way back home I'm staring at a different ocean this is not my friend the sea why can't I be back where I know is what I know without this drive ahead of me

Good Ash 03:08
no one to hear the siren call from miles away in empty rooms there's no need for warning it's calling out on deafened ears anticipating every breakdown all the while it's fading out and you don't know this is the anthem for what we might have been and you don't know this is the cycle of autonomy a new frontier it paints the sky as worlds collide in idle minds tears like serrated edges come falling down on broken hands one final abreaction without the strength to let it out abandoning this caustic scene that began so honestly it fuels the flame that leads you back home with no connection to retrace with no reflection in the mirror it fuels the flame that leads you back home

Weeds 03:02
I feel the anger burning the way it eats you up inside so is it just hands up or is it shoot on sight? your heads so full of bad ideas what are you waiting for? till you explode? but I'm not blown away spin your wheels to the grave till the old ones fade away same as before and it's innocent, but it's not in your eyes it just spreads like weeds, so overgrown like weeds can grow I hear the things you're saying it's starting to sound like lies so is all heads down until you say alright? and with a show of empty hands what are you waiting for? till you explode? but I'm not blown away it's out there in the streets it's right inside your house it flaunts itself on your precious tv it's the poison in your roots that speaks straight to your heart

Leatherbound 02:39
how did I come to meet you here? a stumbling revision of thoughts I had so clear this subtle aftertaste is bitter and it stays just long enough to see you disappear are we all used up like some superficial dream? are we so messed up that we can't even see that we've picked our wounds so long that they don't heal and the silence pulls us through another year so why does it have to be this way? a satirical surrealist in a never ending maze they've searched through the debris without finding anything no signs of life no signs of you or me and I hold these words so high above my heart if we scream too loud all meaning could be lost and I'll keep these thoughts completely out of reach until the silence has become a part of me

Base Five 03:12
counted five planes in the sky tonight heard fifty times it will be alright that is nothing new to you me and you and all those little lights we'll leave the blacktop when we take flight those clouds we'll rip right through and I thought i'd want it all but now I just want you five hundred thoughts flash across my head five thousand arrows in my chest and that is nothing new now it's me and you and our little light we sleep for days and take the nights our road just seems to keep on changing tracing fingerprints on a glass that you left behind mesmerized by all the swirly little lines a maze of mountaintops that soon will reach the sky you can't wipe away the print you're etched into my mind

this ships going down it's hard for you to see you're a captain with no crew still you're feeling like a martyr in trepidation's face you will procrastinate stop working hard start working smarter like sinking ships taking on water no sign of land this far at sea change is proving hard it's harder than you know you've sharpened all your teeth there's no flesh for you to gnaw on in a suspicious place which you choose to congregate your tired act just makes me tired you don't know what to do when the tide comes ripping through the complacency you've had is gone and it's changed everything in it's way as the feeling is all washed away

Stand 03:41
you wait in line to misrepresent yourself you think this tension will just fade away like candle light it's flame will keep us warm tonight this bridge is burning down at both ends you said you would does that make a difference now? you said you could but I just don't see how it's just not the same at all do you remember when you didn't have to scream to be heard? have you lost faith in your words? where will you stand? with hands raised to the sky or live a life of compromise? this picture is fading in the fire your satellites pinpoint a secret fear of all of your castles turning back to sand like candle light this flame will keep us warm tonight this bridge is burning down again

Sinking 03:25
I've still got my mind and there's no one here but me thats all I need to watch the clock count down the time and I've got your words and I read enough already that sinking feeling you sent is finally sinking in you can't go on this way forever when reason runs away with you sends you to your breaking point walls fall down around you this doesn't feel like home to me doesn't feel like anything at all somewhere sometime if it's all in my mind I know I'm gonna get there

the lights have all gone out and these weathered gears keep moving to the beat of a thankless sound preparing to ignite on chemicals and formulas they've made the wrong seem right there's nothing left to figure out it's not too late to fix it this sinking ship could just sail on for one more night you sold your soul and lost your heart for airwave affection they've sterilized us with your songs for way too long and these lazy days have gone away these lazy days the silence has been broken but the winds of change can often feel quite cold this broadcast interruption it's nice to hear a voice thats not your own looking back in retrospect all words no actions will you ever feel regret for your distractions and these lazy days have gone away these lazy days all these faces keep on changing until there's no one left around

like a rat in a cage you justify your wage alone inside this room this room without a view it's disgusting how you choose to live your life catching hands in closing doors spending less is hurting more and in this selfish game you play.... I just won't play as witness to your latest breakdown you dance on every word inverted pyramid comes crashing down on all your hopes and all your dreams all your underhanded schemes your faith in them can't save you now running down in this selfish game you play I've taken the pieces all away the song remains the same it's just that I refuse to sing anymore I quit
