Circle Back Around
04:06

Don’t you hear the clocks ticking like I do?
Don’t you hear God talking? No, I don’t either.
Can’t you feel the gears working in this old machine,
Making up the chain reaction of each day? Yea
These accidents of our lives,
Here we are just breathing, here we are just feeling
Here we are just seeing.
Can you see this with me?
Can you feel this with me?
Can you breathe this me?
Can you need this with me?
I know that it’s not about needing anyone,
So I conjure up these stories til stories are all we have left,
Head off towards these sunsets and the stories end.
And here I am just burying my loved ones.
You can try to turn another leaf, set the game up by changing seats
Yea, we will watch that season turn and curse recurring patters
Behind that same belief while momentum does the rest,
Just wave your flag.
Circle back around. You’re allowed to exist here.
You’re allowed to go crazy.
Take the space you need and would you just believe me
If I told you that I wanted you to STAY
Circle back around. You’re allowed to exist here.
You’re allowed to go crazy.
Take the space you need and would you just believe me
If I told you that I wanted you to STAY
You can try to turn another leaf, set the game up by changing seats
Yea, we will watch that season turn and curse recurring patters
Behind that same belief while momentum does the rest,
Did you wave your flag?
This horse comes charging death.
This horse comes charging death and your castle’s overrun.

Origins
03:17
|

To become
What we have lost
In search of some goddamn holy grail
Our wilderness
Our understanding
Our center instinct
Can you remember?
Cam you build enough star gates
And find the maps
To return home
With awareness and fragility
To become
what we have lost
In bodies, I will love back to life
These origins we’ve denied
Til the end of our days
I am resigned
To experiencing
The totality of
Our nightmares
And fantasies
Sleeping on Springs
Hear the monsters underneath us
Settle with the ring and dong of clocks to our backs
Until the mattress is stained up and abandoned to black tunnels
But never fully
only abandoned by love
And taken by night creatures
Who divide us in filth
And tell us stories of a girl named Lilith

The Highway of Life
04:18
|

Peering through the keyholes of these eyes
I was tryna catch a glimpse into yours
I’m so lost in this fantasy, probably won’t escape before this dream ends
In rooms from doors through death,
What’ll it take to make you feel like I am all you need?
Things keep tryna change back to reality,
the days pass between us unaccounted for.
Just beneath the mask of this poetry,
I’m at the theatre’s projector, I’m tryna come through the film
Gears and clockwork mazes,
The hallways change direction as the tape plays
Each time I thought that I’d caught you,
It was just another message left on your machine
How am I supposed to get through to you anyway anyway these days?
Cruisin down the highway of life,
babe I’d like to push this 95. (9-5)
Fallin off the cliffs of our thoughts
and can we please hang out here for a while?
There’s no turning back now,
it would be the same distance anyhow
When that oozing feeling calls from down the road,
we’ll be gone before the sun comes around.
Tear up the map.
We will glue it back together if we need help getting lost
Feel that breeze blowing on our faces and nothing can set me off
Trust this process. Trust me until I die. Trust your spark for a fire.
Hit that gas, baby don’t look back. Don’t let the promises become more lies
Chilling out on some greener grass, there’s no need for speed or cash
Falling off the map, we had everything we needed so fast that I just fuckin laugh
Headed out of town to breathe some fresher air,
I really think we need some self care
Manmade time has killed me enough.
There’s no more deadlines I just grid.
And it goes like this.

Pyromaniacs
03:46
|

I’m being as honest as I can be with myself,
Cursing every bit of it that comes out of my mouth
I know so well why everything seems damned
Why the skies falling and this moment’s burning down on me
Cause I burned it down yea
I just keep on hitting the snooze to all the control systems
That keep me from this burn-cruise
I’ll reach the ruins of our ancient empires, thinkin
Here we go again with trial by fire
Here we go again with our magnifiers
Here we go again, I guess we’re just settin fires
We’re just
pyromaniacs, pyromaniacs, pyromaniacs pyromaniacs, pyromaniacs
In our spare time, breaking clocks with unconscious minds
Making deals with death
Five more minutes for five more years
On the other side, we’ll have five more years of hell
Five more years of hell with you baby
Five more years of unconscious fast forwarding intoto our sudden death
Awaking from nightmares, we realize we’ve only got five minutes left
Til you’re supposed to leave me
So I’m runnin to the backs of the trains of my thoughts
That are headed off the bridges I’ve burned down
Cause I burned them down
Yea
Inflating my helium ideas like the stars that all end up as black holes
We’re just a black hole baby
We’re just
pyromaniacs, pyromaniacs, pyromaniacs pyromaniacs, pyromaniacs
We’re just
pyromaniacs, pyromaniacs, pyromaniacs pyromaniacs, pyromaniacs
We’re just
pyromaniacs

Process the Process
01:16

Process the process.
I’m coming down
Coming through hypnosis
And you still hang around
In these lives, in these ends
These points that I send,
Foes I will fend because I can
I’m over these bends.
You don’t answer me, but you’ll hear me now.
Take this out here, take you down
My slopes
My drowning
Just to turn frowns upside down
Stop clowning around with your crazy thoughts
I love you still, that’s all.

Sometimes, we just need to get away, can you get away?
Start the care and let go down these windy roads
Allow that process to unfold, can we unfold ?
Life begins without thought, can’t it stay that way?
Reset these puzzled eyes into strangers again.
Would you meet me in a different place, with a different name?
Before the coals burn down to dust that we wished we hadn’t breathed
Would you see those deserts with me ?
Could we last even five years, breathing good and sleeping good,
Are we holding onto this what, love?
Is this love in the dark?
Is this love in the dark?
Are we blind or are we just starved?
By accident, make ripples in dark ponds
We so closely guard?
Befriend each other’s ghost, catch fevers, staring out at the stars?
(Bloga Katė)
Sometimes, I’m too afraid to move, but can we move?
You’ll hold the key, I’ll hold my breath, we’ll make it work.
I need to remember what it felt like
To feel safe.
Any day now, any day
Would you swing that river with me?
Would you move these mountains?
Let’s leave this city right before the dawn breaks.
Desolate highway…

Wild Things
04:50
|

We have this ability to dance again
To pull water from the desert sands
Bring the music back when life was damned
And in this hope our lost ships find land
If the darkness is stubborn to your truth
I won’t judge you if you burn the world you knew
But forgive me if my winters freeze you through
When you’re ready, just come home and let this sleep find you
I will find you. I hope sleep finds you. I hope you get some sleep tonight.
Wild things, I love you with a rage
Push this forward with the force of trains
I hold your ghost with the hottest flames
Make this better, I welcome this pain. I welcome this pain.
I welcome my pain. I welcome your pain. I welcome our pain.
Why’d ya curse me, say I’m no one and nowhere?
Lost in Violins? Yea that’s all that’s there.
But forget-me-nots, I still took your dare
I was facing wars, you did not care
You did not care. You did not care
You did not care. You did not care.
What footsteps did you threaten to fare
To seas we crossed, and things we said with stares
When I give this love, know, I wasn’t scared.
With these wings I was raisin hell in these nightmares
It was nightmare. It was nightmare, I promise a nightmare.
Have a reverence no matter come what may.
I write these stories, get through darkest days.
They come to me with no name.
I face these mountains, there is nothing in the way.
There is nothing in the way, nothing in the way.
There is nothing in the way, nothing in the way.
If the darkness is stubborn to your truth
I won’t judge you if you burn the world you knew
But forgive me if my winters freeze you through
When you’re ready, just come home and let that sleep find you
I will find you. I hope sleep finds you. I hope you get some sleep tonight.

well now, really, when we go back into falling in love
we don't say "rising into love"
there is in it, the idea of 'the fall'
There is always a curious tie at some point
between THE fall and THE creatioN
taking this ghastly risk is the condition of there being light
You see, for all life is an act of faith
the moment you take a step, you do so of an act of faith
because you don't really know the floor's not going to give under your feet
the moment you take a journey
THE moment you enter into any kind of human undertaking and relationship
what an act of faith
See, you've given youRself up
this is the most powerful thing that can be done: surrender
see, and love is an act of surrender to another person
total abandonment
so, that's quite mad
because, you see, it's letting things get out of control
all sensible people keep things in control

Death Mask
05:02
|

We are kings and queens
Stripped of our royalty, reduced to machines
Out on the farthest ledges of our vowed lives
Where thoughts have bottomed out to bodies we guide
And I’m just tryna hide the rust behind these eyes..
So charge when all hope is lost, in all your glory and armor
Silver sword stretched to the dawn
This war is not over, we are no longer pawns
I’ll be doing you right, in this never ending cycle of sustaining life
While simultaneously bleeding out
And go through expansion
Expansion, we’re going through the doorway
Rebirth, rewind to better places
Recording, writing in these days of passion
In the sarcophagus,
In the sarcophagus there was this death mask.
In our slumber, the melodies go on forever
In the visions that we cease to remember
Symbols in the flower petals, messages brought by owls
Of alarm clocks and calendars
Commit the social sin of letting the voices in
And they mess us up so good
Call it a nightmare, I hope it don’t happen again
But in the end, the nightmare was our best friend
And so we keep on in this expansion
Expansion, we’re going through the doorway
Rebirth, rewind to better places
Recording, writing in these days of passion
In the sarcophagus,
In the sarcophagus there was this death mask.

Us
03:07
|

We go down these roads
And these roads go down with us
Draining every last drop,
And we go down shooting
Heading off in search of some new crazed vision
I hope it could still somehow find it’s way
Back into Us
These last two beating hearts
Each anchored by the other’s arrow
Until we’re bound to part,
Bound for our obscure endings
The day these arrows rip out
With a pool of blood
I hope could still somehow find it’s way
Back into Us.

In Our DNA
04:08
|

In our DNA there was this winter
It calls us back to this path inward
The faces in these mirrors, just beginners
The places we call home, I still have splinters from.
You and I were innocent sinners, searching for a place to have some dinner
In our DNA there was this springtime
Brand new beginnings of this lifeline
There was hope in the air, tangible signs
Pushing us forward with a landslide
Instincts taking over my mind,
a reverence for the process of that crime
In our DNA there was this summer
Inside a place we receive love from
What riptides and roots have taken under us ?
With eyes covered up by cucumbers
What islands did we live on in this slumber
Ears in the music, not the numbers ?
In our DNA we took this fall
Ghosts come to haunt us, show us all of it
That harvest moon was hangin like a disco ball
Graveyards keep shooting me these phone calls
Bad jobs taking me like voodoo dolls
Winter’s coming in, our shadows so tall
In our DNA there was this winter
In our DNA there was this springtime
In our DNA there was this summer
In our DNA we took that fall.

Backroads
05:36
|

Before the sands from the deserts we crossed
fell from the hourglass
With heart, we lived again, smiled again
and treasured it to the last
If only briefly, we climbed from graves to write songs
To taste the gardens we built with dirt and hope
May the back roads connect us again in another life
May the cars and music draw us to dawns doused in sleep deprivation
This is growing up, and growing old
Still young enough to kiss with saliva
To take life by the steering wheel,
Dig that moment like a grave
And sink our teeth into the final words
That we exchange
Oh, that was youth. That was our youth - We had it for a while
Like the bodies of our cars
We totaled in style
Crucial heartbeats spent together
Blown like dynamite
It was worth it just to get to go
And see those sights
We found friendships and hidden gems
And though they didn’t hold us for very long
We forgave them and moved onwards headstrong
The gravity of their life still takes my breath away
And as my body moves so much deeper
As my soul awakens from this sleep
As if wishing we were never born
Could take away the memories I’d kill to keep
As if the pages that I’ve written
Weren’t worth the nights I didn’t sleep
As if the days weren’t trap doors
That we pulled the levers to - to miss the peaks
Oh, that was youth. That was our youth,
The realizations we reap
And the walls that keep us from happiness
HAVE GrowN taller and taller
We’re now shooting stars
With no end in sight
Still rage against that dying light
The hearts that I have loved
In coffins now, all piled up
Still rage against that dying light
We still rage against that dying light
