millionth day
05:00
|
|||
rob the bank before the beauty fades
mess you left, palace you made
need me or leave me i'm gone,
everyone says i'm afraid
hear or listen speak or say
let it slide another millionth day
soon he will bruise me and take
for the last time i give in

memory foam
05:26
|
|||
save for when, when I die
maybe then I'll get some rest
until then I'm still alive
plenty time but I've failed the test
I'll look back when it's ten times worse
and I'll call these glory days
but the truth is I'm never first
because I'd never run this race
I can't trust the rising sun
when the cold's closer to home
might as well have not begun
hell is scorching memory foam

estranged
05:05
|
|||
keep it simple, all estranged
back to your door, nothing's changed
i regret to say i've been spent
on gas and groceries
blood lent
what is reason without rhyme or space without time?
mercy's blurry, pain is pure
love's uncertain, sorrow's sure
slept on the roof, all below
can't reach the ceiling, have i grown?

currents
05:47
|
|||
what's behind me, i never thought that i could leave
when i believed only what i could plainly see
guess i'm unsure if it's worth guessing anymore
what tortures me, i've solved the mystery
you think you're young until the memories burn your tongue
you think you're strong until the currents steer you wrong
now i don't need to move back into my old room
but i just wish i hadn't left so soon
match eyes with me, we need to make a memory
create a reason to fight the tragedy
all that is new, we'll want to win it all back soon
so maybe we should stop to enjoy the view

say
05:42
|
|||
say you don't need me like i always knew you should
but please don't believe me if i said i understood
sift through the ashes until gold falls to your feet
carve your own safety all i want is space to meet

paralyzed
05:44
|
|||
beauty i, i've been paralyzed
all i ask is a second
why deny what can't bare to hide?
all I miss is the question
i'll lose my mind if i never find
the heaven hidden inside it
from its grave you can take what you gave
i'm sure i won't seem to mind it
the pretty plain imagine the pain
somehow made into a blessing
when all i know is the undertow
i don't need another lesson

young and free
07:02
|
|||
oh how great it is to be young and free
borrowed all my energy from the need to keep from bleeding
holy ground, they'll never leave,
the prime of life, the open sea,
maybe some they'll leave for me
what's a lock without a key?
just stay with me
oh how great it is to be young and free
yield to any enemy every sting plants a seed
should i try if i'm unsure
if there's a reason or a cure
i believe but i can't see
just one day without need
they say i'm all i need
but i can barely feed
i won't need energy until i learn to breathe
oh how great it is to be young and free
ignore every injury i can't bleed or it'll freeze
to my tongue, shut my eyes
everywhere pain occupies
you say you can count on me
i can barely count to three

become
04:33
|

so long to existence
too old for a new trick
i was told to take it
for christ's sake
so long to innocence
i'll live to regret it
i'll play cuz this time i'll win
about damn time
in years will i listen to the tears that glisten
like mine when god came down and told me i was sin?
in weeks will i plan it to lay down, accept it
compromise my intent and hide myself away?
some thoughts can't belong here
i'll breathe as long as there's air
i swear when the floods leave
i'll love what will become
