Waterlogged 04:35
lyrics
buy track
I was just hanging on, waiting on the other line Words weren't easy with the world resting on my mind Keep it up, wait it out. Never make up your mind. I wanted to be colorful, and now I've gone colorblind. I'm gonna figure this out with the ones who got out I've been tripping on potholes while you're nursing your bottles Pantomimes of life, waiting on what? Hands are cold and cracked, shame is under the rug Waterlogged, rattled deep, undeserving of love I wanted to be beautiful, and now I'm made of mud Oh boy, Danny can you hear me? We're the ones who got out I won't let myself be like you Are you hurting now like I do?

Scattered Thoughts 03:54
lyrics
buy track
Plastic sight and shifting light Starry eyes are opened wide Flammable and made of wood, my heart is an open book Standing on a moving car Collapsing like a dying star Dancing through the flowerbed Chasing demons in my head Phantom pain in my last name Colors leaking out of frame Sweating bullets in the crowd Sleeping on a mushroom cloud Flying high on purple waves or counting echoes in my cave I can stay above the flame Up until I hear your name So what could I say to make the light inside me stay? And what could I do to make everything I say be true? And how can I keep these feelings from rotting away at me? So what could I say to keep this light from fading away?

Wading 04:27
lyrics

Simplify your shell Burn it to the ground Let this return to ash Wading through the day with my cereal toys I'm burning through my skin, run on crooked limbs anyway Fading from the light, creeping out of sight every day Silence is a buzz and it's calling me back The night is my only friend Colors run and features start to blur now when you're living only in the background I'm spilling out like water from the faucet I used to have the beat, but then I lost it The world, it spits and speaks an ugly thunder, so my shaky voice is going unheard I hear the echoes of our distant laughter Is it happiness I'm really after? Summer's gone and autumn is approaching, but I'll probably fuck it up like most things If I can keep it up until November, take a breath, at least try to remember Let the light in, let the light in Nullify your pain Put it in your bag Don't hold it in your hands Don't you dare wake up Hold onto that sound Keep up as best you can Wading through the day with my cereal buzz Coffee on your breath, boring me to death Can I just dream another life, feel like it's alright for a sec? Fumbling with my words, let me be absurd here and there Talking like I'm tough, never growing up, what the hell? Getting nothing done, never see the sun Maybe I'm not equipped to cope, can I keep afloat in the end? The night is my only friend Colors run and features start to blur now when you're living only in the background I'm spilling out like water from the faucet I used to have the beat, but then I lost it The world, it spits and speaks an ugly thunder, so my shaky voice is going unheard I hear the echoes of our distant laughter Is it happiness I'm really after? Summer's gone and autumn is approaching, but I'll probably fuck it up like most things If I can keep it up until November, take a breath, at least try to remember Let the light in, let the light in

Little Moth 04:48
lyrics
buy track
Found you sleeping on a bench at the state fair Everything changes in your mind like the colors in your hair Sinking down into a hole where you're sitting I can pull you out, but I can't follow you in Far more shocking when I didn't know your name Little moth, little moth, little moth fly into the flame So distracted that the world caught you off guard When you get hungry, you can just eat your own heart Yearning for something but you don't know what Falling head first for a wolf or a stray mutt Something stirring in your heart that you can't tame Little moth, little moth, little moth fly into the flame Ghost man floating through life like a rain cloud It's consolation knowing there is a way out Hide from anything that might get too close Run the quickest from the thing that you love most So infected and there's no one else to blame Little moth, little moth, little moth fly into the flame

Nightmares 05:38
lyrics
buy track
In the morning, I am running through the cycles, trying to get somewhere at all Like a nightmare, I am walking down a hallway growing faster than I can walk Reaching peaks and proper sleep Happy thoughts and love so sweet Confidence in looks and speech These are things of which I dream Want to shed this tattered leash Don't want to be afraid of everything Poison thoughts consuming me I need to claw my way out of this thing. Set me straight now I don't want to let go of the things I have that I can hide behind Through the windows, try to keep composure, but the roots are spreading deep into my mind In the nightmare, I am treading water, sinking deep with no way out When I wake up, I am sweating bullets Getting swallowed by my doubt I don't know if I can take the pressure of this life that I know so little about Mom, I know that you are cheering me on All I ever wanted was to make you proud All I know is I can't get no lower, so let's get started on moving to the top As long as I live, I must keep on rising I will leave the atmosphere and never stop Another day is done Another battle won

Welcome to the Circus 05:09
lyrics

Sleeping on a bed of nails Woke up on your good side Traipsing through a hall of mirrors Don't know what you look like Hands of gold and tongue so silver You did what you had to Easy to forget these things don't happen in a vaccuum Please stay weird, please stay weird Please stay weird, please stay weird Please stay weird, please stay weird Please stay weird, please stay weird Periods of strange rotation Sleeping off the good times Hands in pockets, feet are planted right in front of headlights Hands so cold and mind so made up Nothing left to argue Paint your face up in the mirror Go put on your costume Hold onto weird, hold onto weird Hold onto weird, hold onto weird Hold onto weird, hold onto weird Hold onto weird, hold onto weird But you let go Now you're one of them

Metamorphosis 06:00
lyrics
buy track
From far away, it pulls The distance is becoming null So old, so whole, it beckons Everyone I see is laughing and laughing at me So pleased to be so normal I can turn it into something beautiful I can rearrange all the pieces Keep it all in the safest places Keep it all on a first name basis Take it slow on the turns you're making Take it slow, now the ice is breaking Can't connect when you're feeling sober Can't collect when you're falling over Getting stuck when the water freezes Getting smashed in a thousand pieces High above it all, a hand tries to signal the fall that's all in all expected Hurriedly, I flee The barrels are pointed at me So pleased to be the center I can turn it into something beautiful I can rearrange all the pieces Try to sort through the mess you're living Try to win with the hand you're given I could do it if I had the patience I could do it with the inspiration What could the silence that's left there inside us be for? And after the storms have subsided, there's more than before Conquer your shadows and live in your prison no more And under the radar or over the treetops you'll soar Pick yourself up off the floor! (Breathe child, reach out)

Football Season 04:29
lyrics

I want to know just what it is you're waiting on I want to know just who it is you're waiting for If I decide I'm in love with another one of my friends Take me aside, let me get my head right All I want's to be loved in the end I have been all by myself for so long that I am a mess I'm just afraid it will always be that way I'm struggling but trying my best I want to know just what it is you're hiding from I want to know just when it is you'll come back out In this attempt to be genuine, I am feeling so scared Everything in me wants me just to give up Won't let myself go back down there I want to love with my whole heart, but I don't want to get hurt I want to get thinner and act like a winner and finally feel a sense of worth "You will never be happy."

Attack 06:42

"Hello, won't you listen to me? I've got some problems for you to see And you, you belong to me And now your leash is tightening" Faces crying, loved ones dying Paralyze me, catalyze me Sinking feeling, keep on reeling Hopeless effort, won't get better It's attacking me, can't do anything Voices fill my ears, "HERE ARE ALL YOUR FEARS" Can't escape this dread, soon I might be dead Screaming crimson light, there's no sleep tonight Has the storm yet passed me? Have I finally come to rest? Now the levee's broken Air is entering my chest Alive Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not giving in It's gonna take a bit more than that to do me in I'll never let it beat me, I won't break though I may bend Even with this demon, I will triumph in the end Alive

Vanishing Act 03:51
lyrics
buy track
For lack of conclusion there's only confusion My heart is an ocean full of you I started drowning You looked at me frowning I've got no control of what I do Hiding from something or running from nothing Walking in circles spitting fumes And though I have felt you, no longer compelled to try to impress or hide from you Hope you can find what you're looking for I want to say what I could not before I was a fool, so were you too I never could stay mad at you So what's the big deal now? I want to be real now I've got no more tricks or vanishing acts I'm moving forward and I'm learning more words and mantras to help accept the past You are a diamond I hope that you're thriving I can't wait to see what you can do I wish I could see you I wish I could be you but I'll never be as cool as you

Father 05:22

I am the father of failures I am the father of pain I am the father of too many problems I am my father in name Reaching peaks improperly Hands of red and crooked feet Numb and too afraid to speak Have you finally beaten me down? Poison thoughts are running me Thoughts like knives that cut through me Fear of what I'll never see Little moth with burning wings (Little moth, don't ever cause hurt like this) I am the father of virtues I am the father of flame I am the father of two different voices I am my father in name Leave these dreams beneath your feet Get back in the driver's seat Plastic wheels on shifting streets There's your shadow haunting me now Faintest notion of relief Distance from a distant scream Cruelty don't look good on me Little moth can take the heat (Little moth, don't ever cause hurt like this) Are you hurting now like I do? Now this heart is harder You will go much farther You are not your father You are not your father You are not your father

Tired 03:57

I'm tired, I need better sleep I'm withering quick, I need to eat I'm holding fast but suffering deep I need to get up on my feet I'm tired of my thin disguise I want to look in people's eyes Too tired to tell anymore lies I need to ask for help sometimes I'm tired of admitting defeat I want to fight like hell and fight for me I'm beaten down but grit my teeth I need to live my life for me I'm tired, fading out to black, but I've got some friends who've got my back I know I will and always have Someday I'll pay all of you back I'm tired, I need better sleep I'm working hard, I'm gaining steam The terror lingers deep in me But this flame, it burns and never leaves This flame, it burns and never leaves
