Perfect Scar 02:30
Sycophant cigarette, Light with your tongue. A chorus of calluses hardened by one. All this time talking ‘til words twist undone, To puncture your parachute and water your lungs. Who is still haunting your current affairs? Your floating on fluid, too flippant to care. All these heartbeats ‘til you’re down and you’re done. To puncture your parachute and water you’re lungs.

Traction 04:48
Where can i find the rent? Where all of my moneys been. Betrayed by an accident. Bad footing for ill intent. Accept what you know. All i know now, To be around takes its toll on us. If you can’t control more than a dose, Substantial growth; undone. If you cant control, More than a dose, Substantial growth; undone Where is the line? Come close and touch your faith. Lost track of time. Paid penance goes to waste. There has to be a way. To take this all away. What’s love? What’s love? What will it take? Til I fall, I fall. Flat on my face. Is there time for all of this? (until) It takes a part of me i know i should’ve been afraid. I’m so completely overwhelmed i’ll never be the same. What’s love? What’s love? What will it take? Til I fall, I fall. Flat on my face.

Exit Wounds 05:40
What’s it all worth? Twisting words just to buy more time. Im not sure, where i stand on this. Cutting ties with both sides of the fence With such indifference. Walk away if the weight won’t hold you, Calloused words call back like deja vu. Those days were calling so far away Is all that we wanted not worth the wait? Oh, no. I’ll wait. There’s an ending there. Perfect; But you’re already there. With your blood spilt on the front door. I’ll wait. There’s a resting place. Ahead. But, You’re already dead. And you lungs fill up as i hold you under. It’s those better days behind That keep you running in circles and i know why, I find my way from you, Leaving parts of me like exit wounds, With nothing more to lose. Walk away if the weight won’t hold you, Calloused words call back like deja vu. Those days were calling so far away, Is all that we wanted not worth the wait. But the taste of your lips on mine, Is better than you or me compromised, Or thousands of tireless trials. Oh why, oh why, oh why Why should i try? Replay the film. Again. Like always. You know you will.

So, it’s not the way you wanted it to be? I waited, but never could breach, And other than the blame, you offer not a thing. And you’d whisper, “Who’s coming with me?” But i won’t follow you, (You say it on and on) ‘Cause this wanderlust has all of consumed (You say it on and on) Love isn’t just defined by words, But they say an awful lot, They say an awful lot. And what if i want to? I do what i need to breathe. And what if i still do believe? Sing, As loud as you wanted it to be. Feel it move in all directions. Or so it seems…. That we’ve been alone in all we said, We want this done. But all that we can see, Could fade eternally; Down. And all that we could be, Will fade until you see how. We waited up for you. But, It’s not enough for you. You know the cost.

Ive been underneath for days now wondering My fate For better or worse i Found myself guilty, your hands also unclean We stayed Condemning the first child. But i cant suffer on my own, Lust drunk conundrum becomes home, Surmise dysfunction cause “you know”, But did you know Mistakenly? No longer, (Can i wait) can i disregard the truth, (its what you wanted) No longer, holding onto you (If i accept this) Trading sanity for (Trading) Clarity so you swore. (Clarity) With Separation Let distance build you up WIll hearts grow fonder? Or monuments Construct? Running out of ways to hope that youll notice me Something im afraid to let go of gets stolen away Tugging at the strings youve woven a home for me But truth be told, i wouldnt want it on my own Nooooooooooooo Now i know when youre away Time will stops The sun will fade No longer, (Can i wait) can i disregard the truth, (its what you wanted) No longer, holding onto you (If i accept this) Trading sanity for (Sanity) Clarity so you swore. (Clarity) With Separation Let distance build you up WIll hearts go wander? Or monuments Construct?

Open eyes can’t stay for long Changing the dial but the substance is off Craving a time when injustice dissolves But our pigment dictates their probable cause They hunt for scapegoats at our freedoms cost So Ill wait, Patient. Beneath the scars There lies an offering, The body count’s our Sacrifice. Sadist; That’s what you are We all grow close then we all grow apart Mistaken for someone whos lost You’ve taken enough from us all But how do you get sleep at night? Your power for our peace of mind Ohhhhhhhh So i’ll wait patient, beneath the scars There lies our offering, The body count’s our Sacrifice. Sadist; That’s what you are. Bring us all close as we all grow apart And in case we break dont give it up until things change we wont Our voices sound Won’t cave in now. The death of your idea of everything.

To a Fault 06:17
Body Politics For an audience Pride and posturing will take you To the precipice Still oblivious Prey on weaknesses to change you What (I can make you) Was (I can make you) Opened ? I cant wait for you I dont want to even try to No We hold a tight grip to familiar violence, It makes you feel at home. Exposed, with hands at your throat. Ideals aligned with some consented violence, And you think you know. Condone, dense pleasurable moans Cause I’ve known the floor and the bottle as home. They leave you broken, Leave you defenseless So I, I go wherever I’m least vulnerable. We’ll leave you broken, Leave you defenseless Leave your heart at the door Dampened palms gripping tight For a calm in the storm. Keeping contact for warmth Soon the sun will suffice Sure as we’ll reach the shore. Stay away, I’m on my own. No one gets let inside, Not that there’s much to show. Stay away, I know you wanna disclose, I just don’t want it more. What's worth the cost ? Perverse the thought. Does it bring you hope. With open arms, Coerced through charm And always to cope We hold a tight grip to familiar violence, It makes you feel at home. Exposed, with hands at your throat. Ideals aligned with some consented violence, And you think you know. Condone, dense pleasurable moans Cause I’ve known the floor and the bottle as home. To leave you broken, Leave you defenseless So I, I go wherever I’m least vulnerable. To leave you broken, Leave you defenseless In my hands will i hold, Both my heart and my soul. They bring me closer and closer (just) to let go

Tangible 04:24
Wait for you to call, Or come back home. I’ve been waiting outside of your door. But, you were well aware i wasn’t, I’ve been here with all the others, I can feel it coming over me again. Swollen eyes reprise wrought with distrust, In sober times reminders life is such, So hold your pride aside enough for us, And show me signs so i dont have to wonder. But how could you erase my part? “We all know time subsides from the start” Wait for you to call or come back home. I”ve been waiting outside of your door. We’ve been waiting. For too long. But, at our lowest now, we all sing, “Oh” At my lowest now, i just wanna sing, “Oh”
