Here and Now 04:14
You're real as me but what you say I cannot hear As time moves on, there’ll be nothing left to fear I can't look back on myself Agony and no one else That's not where I'm stood today, I could ride on my own wave Well I can't feel like I did before Greeted me with a smile, shook my hand, and you opened up the door Flood the air to my lungs and help me breathe I just can't believe that some things are a little too much for me So there you are, so self-righteous yet so small All the things you've done, they're too distant to recall No one's sure where we'll go, but do I really need to know? I’m sure you can tell me how, I'd rather live for the here & now
2.
Would you give before you've got to go? And if you'd live would you want me to know? Tell the offer to your friends and family The situation isn't as simple as it appears to be And I'll just sit and question Pondering on to your obsession What will the new time bring? It’s a time where I won't remember anything It might take a while a little bit of time But It’ll be worth the while when everything is right The possibility that we could work it out Helped you and I subside all of our doubts What I feel inside brings me down But I’ll be up again if you’d show me around Heart to heart is what i've got to show If we can keep it together, both of us’ll know I’ll just sit and stare Wondering what’s out there What will the new year bring? A time where I won’t remember anything

Asunder 03:21
Poor player's tricks are falling out of necessity For I can hear him stalling, to satisfy his greed He wants you all to realize, he's got it all worked out Empty thoughts come tumbling out of his crooked mouth That's what I expect from a no name bastard son The kind whose speech makes conversations come undone You'd never feel like there's anything wrong with you You know that it's the truth He strangles thoughts to figure out Which lesson he should preach when in doubt When he don't know what to say He finds words to fill the blanks in every way

Jerome Kern 03:41
Saw your infrared light stare me down the hall The only thing you could say was “You’re gonna fall” You never cared much for sunlight ‘cause you'd never see Every little thing you were doing to me And I’m still sorry for the mess I made I didn’t even realize I made one today I wish that I was perfect Perfect like you You told me I was pessimistic Everyone says we’re both apocalyptic I see you in my dreams way too much I’ve always loved how you’re my crutch As we’re walking up this downward hilI I could tell we were gonna take the spill
5.
Open the doors, let all the people in They've already making a scene The panels are shakin, don't think they can handle it That's not of concern to me Lights dance and fall, can still hear your call I can't answer because where I've been Can feel you around, drowned in the sound Your voice is unnaturally clean And I'd wait outside Just to hear you the thousandth time And I'd stick around I just wish that you'd be here now How can I face you When you've seen what you've seen? I don't want to go home But I know that I'll have to leave Now the sun's gone away, it's turnin' to grey I guess I've got nowhere to go The wind hits the trees and fights against the breeze Surrenders and falls to the snow They keep it inside, there's nowhere to hide I'm wrapped in your chondritic noise If I'm asked to stay, I'd never turn away Won over by your meaningless ploys You didn't think that I That I knew what you did Well you'd be mistaken cause you’d Never see me slip If there's to be a next time Well then don't play around ‘Cause I won't know where you're going But I'll be back underground
6.
You had some big ideas That led you all this way But somehow nothing feels The way things did those days Something wasn’t right But the train came in on time Those noises of the night Were the day’s own design What you hold in your head When you hold your head in your hands Once eroded in the sand All that’s left is to understand Now with the snow coming You sat me down at sea You ran from hunters it seemed But only your eyes bleed You’ll see one day what’s been drawn behind you Maybe you’ve already had that view You wrote too small for anyone to see And said that’s how it’s supposed to be
7.
Plain to See 03:47
Seeming that it's time to go through Changes with the one I know who Lives beyond the hills and out of view How the feeling felt so near Appears too real but insincere Lurking back again but it can't stay here She caught my eye, it should have missed Reflections and figures began to slip It's stitched together,frayed at the seams Just as I'd seen it in my dreams Whisper ear to ear, it comes to me Even though the light is plain to see Nothing more and nothing be ‘Cause age is here and hope is free When the time has come to realize We've reached the comedown of this high When it all falls down, are you at my side? I'll have to push on and embrace the pain No question that life is rearranged Even though it all, I'm thankful for the change In the fall, will I pierce the ground? Break up space with my twisted sound Should I keep it light just to keep it be? The flame will fizzle out as its smoke runs free
8.
No End 04:22
Can you feel what's left inside Before you turn and leave it behind We know there's something out there Sit around and gaze and breathe in the air Oh little angel, hear it come You feel no emotion, you’ve been numbed Just come and try to relate to me In time we'll see what others see And I don't believe this is how it could have been If you were to stick beside me there would be no end I don't trust anymore than I did back then This time I'm not alone, I'll be with you my friend Can't you feel it getting stronger for us? When before our surroundings were too much I’ll always try to bring feelings to life It makes these things easier, not to deal in strife
9.
You were once a self esteem machine Now you’re a shell of what you’ve used to been You’ve been using all these blanket terms But now I have to watch you squirm Conscious thoughts become a mumbled mess Of words and actions but I digress Where did you go? I haven’t seen you in about a year or so And everybody you once knew They’ve been asking about you I’m so comfortable In my own skin I’m so comfortable In everything I know “Another day of sunshine” she said But you’re just hanging on by a thread You’ve got obsessions in your mind Why don’t you just leave them behind? Everyone knows you’re different Or at least that’s what you think Get out of your own head You’re not halfway dead And don’t forget the flowers They make you way less sour I'm so comfortable In my own skin I’m so comfortable In my own fucking head
10.
I hear it falling with the rain, feel it wash over me again It’s a natural fact that we all know And in the silence when she speaks, I can hear them call for me I’ll stay and let the cold wind blow My shadow grows, begins to devour, it’s leaving here in less than an hour But I’ll remain centered at my home Walk along the streets at night Gaze upon the stars that shine Take your hand and you’ll take mine Vanish out into the pines I can hear it in the back, gearing up for another attack If I can keep it down, out it drowns Watch it caress across the sky, until it falls and slips inside Caught when it comes down, saving face Out in the open a glow can be seen, question what all of your words mean To speak them aloud, calms it down It comes to me within reach I see the future and it's looking bleak
11.
Yr Gleam 03:39
The paths are clear But I can't see a thing in sight I’m struggling to hear The laughs of all who are out tonite This ain't no dream I can see the one as it gasps and screams I’m caught in yr gleam And I’m forever stuck on the in between I'll think about the time And all the reasons why I’m convicted of your crimes I don't think I have the right to be Feeling alone when I'm with you But you don't think I have the right to say What I feel if it is the truth There's no one here Because the fields are barren and cut down You seem afraid Like there's no way to get around You'd rather stay By my side and wither away To a natural decay Or you can call it admission to an early grave 'Cause I'll be seeing through All I did to you There's nothing more to prove
