Cascade 02:43

New blood The past is feeding back The people react To the lights To the sound Another tragedy inbound Onlooking in wonder Who have I become? Will I figure myself out Before all this is done? Memories starting to fade All a blur in the twisted jade When we were face to face There were promises we made Was it a game that we played? Back then the future Held no weight at all New blood The past is feeding back The people react To the lights To the sound Another tragedy inbound Onlooking in wonder Who have I become? Will I figure myself out Before all this is done? Am I here against my will? Can't recall any names;l The paint's chipped around the frame Do you regret that you came? We were never truly the same Was I just saving face? We’ve been down this road Half a million times Or more New blood The past is feeding back The people react (react, react) To the light To the sound Another tragedy inbound Onlooking in wonder Who have I become Will I figure myself out Before all this is done Are we basking in the glow Or pulled in undertow Are we born to overthrow Or kneel at the throne Am I here against my will Was I just feeling Brave To try and ride the wave Inertia cascade

Fighting for footing Pushing and pulling Trade my days for nothing Chalk it up to something If it was more than way to get by More than something to do till I die I'd be fine It's behind the door I found a reason to sleep on the floor I can't ignore What's the point in fighting anymore? Shock and awe Buckle in before you take off You're never lost You just picked up where you left off Under the garden Chaos unwanted Call me in the morning Consider it a warning Leaning on the words we both read Leaving home with too much unsaid Is this dread? Or is it all in my head? It's behind the door I found a reason to sleep on the floor I can't ignore What's the point in fighting anymore? Shock and awe Buckle in before you take off You're never lost You just picked up where you left off Put some distance behind me It's hard to tell where I'm at Seeking, but never finding What's this thing that I lack? What could make me see clearer? Can't run before you crawl Pull the sheet off the mirror Nail your thoughts to the wall It's behind the door I found a reason to sleep on the floor I can't ignore What's the point in fighting anymore? Shock and awe Buckle in before you take off You're never lost You just picked up where you left off It's behind the door We found a reason to get off the floor We can't ignore What's the point in fighting anymore? Shock and awe Buckle in before we take off We were never lost We just picked up where we left off Pull the sheet off the mirror Nail your thoughts to the wall

Mood 02:54

First comes heartache Then introspective overload Subscribe to fate And let the current take you home It's getting late, Almost halfway through another year Let's plan our escape And get the hell out of here Risk it all for a chance To find a quiet place in this great expanse Don't want to bitch and moan, Don't wanna stare at my phone, I just want leave this life that I've always known Against the grain, we carved ourselves another road It's so insane, we thought that we had finally grown Come meet your fate, and let the daylight wash you clean, I promise, this is nothing like you've ever seen Everything slips through my hands Leave it up to me to wreck all our plans Is it enough to know you're not going in alone? The youth are looking after their own Don't wanna bitch and moan, don't wanna stare at my phone, Just wanna leave this life that I've always known What is this mood? Where is the groove? Neverending, feeding the loop I need to regroup Back from my mind Away from these times No reason or rhyme It’s just paradigm Dreading the climb We all lose our minds And find them sometime Did we lose track? Can we go back? Have the cards Always been stacked? Superceding, Always fleeting Why's the sunset So misleading? Is it enough to know you're not going in alone? The youth are looking after their own Don't wanna bitch and moan, don't wanna stare at my phone, Just wanna leave this life that I've always known

Three steps from the drop-off My weight held in the underpin I feel myself start to nod off Another year, and I'm stuck here again Will this house stop humming? Will the lights stay on? Was help ever coming? Did I do something wrong? My life is swimming in sound Looping noise, unbearably loud It's routine, full contact, Am I ever gonna get my life back? This cycle I'm lost in, delirium in between a new spin Come chaos, from theory Is the schedule I wrote gonna save me? Pictures from youth you start to ignore, And the magnets on the fridge don't hold anymore Three feet from the bottom, my weightless body spins While I wait for autumn, another harsh winter begins Cover up in layers to keep the warmth inside There's barely any left, but there's nowhere else to hide Wringing out the words I misread Consciousness hanging by a thread Wonder what it's like to be dead Forced awake, keep living instead It's routine, full contact, Am I ever gonna get my life back? This cycle I'm lost in, delirium in between a new spin Come chaos, from theory Is the schedule I wrote gonna save me? Pictures from youth you start to ignore, And the magnets on the fridge don't hold anymore

Chapter 03:39
lyrics

The moments are dying on arrival The next one awaits a safer bet Another ransom paid in full Another dollar off the debt They'll call for blood in shrinking rooms, Fly the colors, but mask the hue I'll never know what to do With all this time and all this truth Could I dream my life away? Is the moment always gone? A glimpse caught, another frayed Take a look but not too long Every day is play by play Every year it all goes wrong Could I dream my life away? Was it over all along? Carve your name into the walls Give yourself until next fall, Hold out for the final charge Take your prize, leave your mark Fill the space in spinning rooms, The minutes dissipate like fumes I promised Id see this through You said stay loud and stay true Is it worth another day? The moment's not quite gone My life in disarray My hopes are on the run Every time I get home late Every call that I can't take Am I grabbing empty space? Why does nothing feel the same?

Liminal 02:53
lyrics

Hands pushing up and around Plans falling over and down Still standing, but on what ground? Just short of safe and sound This hallway will never end Will I ever see you again? On the outside, looking in Far from the means and the ends Spaces most liminal, cruel, and unkind Framing you out of your right frame of mind Counting the hours in rings like the trees Your time and my time are not the same thing Keep hiding in the canopy Peering out between the leaves Can't help asking, can't help wondering What will be the last thing you see? Still something, intertwined in the days Bleeds through the sky like wet paint Ill follow, ill give up on restraint Stop giving this so much weight Spaces most liminal, cruel, and unkind Framing you out of your right frame of mind Counting the minutes like rings like the trees Your time and my time are not the same thing Spaces most liminal, cruel, and unkind Framing you out of your right frame of mind Counting the seconds like rings like the trees Your time and my time are not the same thing Candles burn faster when the lights are all on Watching souls in the mirror with a fire on the lawn Hoping this will all be over, hoping you would be gone When I wake at 3am to sweat and shattering bone The cosmos splitting at the seams My youth was nothing like it seemed Ask questions chasing after screams Find the answer but not what it means Spaces most liminal, cruel, and unkind Framing you out of your right frame of mind Counting the moments like rings like the trees Your time and my time are not the same thing

Prisoner 02:52
lyrics

Grip the nearest ledge Nothing's making sense Leave yourself behind after you've found life Hands slip from the cord, I'm the man overboard Can't tell if I've sunk too deep Then all at once, I was lit by a flashing light Gravity lifted for once in my life Caught in the current, a new kind of prisoner Do not go gentle into that good night Spiral downwards Every night gets louder Blurring in motion, and wits held by safety pins Bleeding my mind while the planet still spins Legacy leaving for no one Kill the lights, pick a fight, try to do something right After all, it's a game, try to not go insane Spell your name, rack your brain, you don't have to explain Why you're here What's your fear? Why did you volunteer? Raging against the light, We danced all through the night Clash of the colors that night can't escape Stars on the outer line, blinking in double time I'll be right here, and forever, I'll wait Spiral downwards Every night gets louder Blurring in motion, and wits held by safety pins Bleeding my mind while the planet still spins Legacy leaving for no one Why would you give up so easily? Sucking the life out of everything Why would you give up so easily? Saving this isn't worth anything Why would you give up so easily? Righting a wrong that I'll never see

Outrun 03:30
lyrics

Distanced by panes of glasswork and frame Phone calls are torture, but there's no other way Another crash, a flash on a screen Everyone is dying, but what does it mean Wonder each day what will finally be the the bane Consider how many are affected the same A new catch, another case seen Is everything really as bad as it seems? Check your pulse, are you safe? Are you clean? Are you far from the city where grass is still green? Stay off the road, dont leave a trace Trust your gut, just in case Six feet back, stay six feet back Halfway down, pool of black Go outside, but double back Run or stay, join the wolfpack Common sense, or consequence? This wishing well is bottomless Six feet back, stay six feet back Go outside, but double back Misplaced shame and shifting blame A bigger picture, still out of frame A yellowed photo from when we were young Wide eyed but not undone When will this end? Or Will this end? Is there a future around the bend? How will we cope if it all upends? On a pale blue dot, we spin and suspend Where are the trees, where is the breeze? Where was the sun interceding the freeze? Where are the words that could make me believe? When will humanity get some relief? Six feet back, stay six feet back Halfway down, pool of black Go outside, but double back Run or stay, join the wolfpack Common sense or consequence? This wishing well is bottomless Six feet back, stay six feet back Go outside, but double back How long will you wait, or will you wait? I'm not sure how much I can take We had a plan, no thanks to fate Revolution not too late No colors flying when the morning comes And when the barricade is overrun Will my reflection change after it's done? Is this something I’ll outrun?

Infinity 03:28
lyrics

The pieces found place while The meaning takes shape, eclipsed by the time I waste I claimed what I'd lose when I paid all my dues, truth always finds a way When will everything change? With all its force, my heart took flight, A sudden change from day to night, I finally feel like Imma be alright Just remember that the hurt is finite A deeper cut, a sharper sting waiting here for me next spring until then, I'll keep my boots unlaced, I can finally breathe in this place I wish I could stay through infinity The bough always breaks, but the mothers save face, Is this that thing you call faith? Tagging along, go about it all wrong Truly, a fall from grace With all its force, my heart took flight, A sudden change from day to night, I finally feel like Imma be alright Just remember that the hurt is finite A deeper cut, a sharper sting waiting here for me next spring until then, I'll keep my boots unlaced, I can finally breathe in this place I wish I could stay through infinity I remember when that photo was taken, Nevermind how empty my face is I caught a glimpse, but I must be mistaken, Is this the reason I feel so forsaken? With all its force, my heart took flight, a sudden change from day to night, I finally feel like Imma be alright Just remember that the hurt is finite A deeper cut, a sharper sting waiting here for me next spring; until then, I'll keep my boots unlaced, I can finally breathe in this place I wish I could stay through infinity
