This Rain
03:47
|
|

here is an array of fears
and lies
while lying awake and afraid
but the night is great
in this rain
in this rain
oh I can’t wait
for the pain to go away
this rain
in this rain
go away
just go away
here is the night we feared
oh dear
while lying awake and afraid
but the night is great
in this rain
in this rain
oh I can’t wait
for the pain to go away
this rain
in this rain
go away
go away
here are the dreams I fear
and here’s where I disappear
when dreaming, dreaming alone
I’m dreaming
dreaming alone
the night is great
in this rain
in this rain
ooh i can’t wait
for the pain
to go away
this rain
in this rain
it goes away
washes away

Healthy Skeleton

the part
protecting my heart
is beating me down
so temporary
fortune and fame
fortune and fame
fortune and fame
is the name of the game
fortune and fame
losses and gains
fortune and fame
what a stupid game
the part
protecting my heart
is beating me down
in this temporary frame
fortune and fame
losses and gains
but all that remains
are the skeletons
skeletons
fortune and fame
losses and gains
the part
protecting my heart
is beating me down
in this temporary frame
fortune and fame
losses and gains
but all that remains
are the skeletons
skeletons

Stuck
03:30
|
|
||
cracks in the floorboards
sounds in the rafters
it’s creaking, creaking
repeating history
we all know
it’s not the first time
it’s been done
thoughts from a past
haunt between glass
reaching an echo
from somewhere below
come on
we’re stuck in a mall
a structure with weakening walls
it’s creaking, creaking
repeating history
we already know
reaching an echo
from somewhere below
humming a song
aching for meaning
far too long
i’m trying too hard
looking at all the angles wrong
i’m humming a song
aching for meaning
far far too long
too long
come on
we’re stuck in a mall
a structure with weakening walls

War of the Word
04:28
|
|

another attempt to relax
another attempt at the facts
another night that I want
my stolen years back
another jolt to the front of my brain
another shock of familiar pain
seeping through a screen
oozing neon green
I can see it coming out
war of the world
where are the words that i’m seeking?
what are the words you believe in?
war of the world
where are the words that i’m seeking?
what are the words you believe in?
another attempt to relax
another attempt at the facts
another night that I want
my stolen years back
another jolt to the front of my brain
another shock of familiar pain
seeping through a screen
oozing neon green again
war of the world
it’s more than words
believe me, we’ll leave it
war of the world
where are the words that i’m seeking?
what are the words you believe in?
there's no words

Greed
03:57
|
|
||
ooo…
a sparkling hue
it’s something to fill in the groove
but all we’re able to feed
is our needs
what started this trip
has slipped through our grip
and now it’s all that we miss
the shadows persist
it’s so meaningless
an empty abyss
it’s ultimate bliss
oh no
it’s ultimate bliss
oh no
ooo…
wanted to have something new
something to fill in the groove
but all we’re able to feed
is greed
what started this trip
has slipped through our grip
there’s no memories
it’s all we’re able to miss
it’s so meaningless
an empty abyss
a bottomless pit
yet we’re savoring this
oh no
we're savoring this
oh no

The Price
04:40
|
|
||
oooo…
feel the world collide
waiting in line
watch it decline
spend the day
in here
in the sanctuary
spend away
all of your money
ease the pain
the price
for selling the lie
in the middle of the night
squirming in their bed
of their own demise
the price
for buying the lie
i start to wonder why
i subscribed
oooo…
feel the world collide
waiting in line
watch it decline
spend the day
in here
in the sanctuary
spend away
all of your money
ease the pain
no… ah…
feel the beauty
and feel the majesty
of all the things around me
and still I feel so empty
the price
for selling the lie
in the middle of the night
squirming in their bed
of their own demise
the price
for buying the lie
i start to wonder why
i subscribed

Dungeon
04:24
|
|

here she lies, unsure
with wider thoughts
painful and pure
in a room
a room…
beyond this room, i know
beyond the frost and snow
a sacred place can be found
where minds are sprouting ground
near the window
sliver of the sun
is coming through
coming through
idle for way too long
lost but hanging on
what more can i do?
near the window
sliver of the sun
is coming through
coming through
ah yes, there’s that place i know
all my strength has made it so
peeling back the stone
i am free from all my own
nightmares i’ve lived, i know
the dark is needed to see the glow
my mind is sprouting ground
warm, shining all around
don’t mind the dungeon door
the window is always yours
to come through

Long Gown
02:22
|
|

long gown
tossing the leaves around
between redwood trees
leaning towards the light I see
oh, a clown
is burning the village down
retreats underneath
the fire burns eternally
lie alive
awaken on the floor
don’t wanna cry no more
long gown
tossing the leaves around
between redwood trees
leaning towards the light I see
oh, a clown
is burning the village down
retreats underneath
a fire burns inside of me

Fountain
03:45
|
|
||
oh i’m waiting
by the fountain
it’s so pretty
it’s so big
and i wanna dive in
find every penny
feeling so lucky
oh no
you made
you made
a mistake
and i know
i need
i need
to escape
oh the water
it is cleansing
it’s within me
oh the streams
are so dreamy
i already feel it
flowing nowhere
near the drain…
oh, i’m ready
let it consume me
like I consume thee
swimming ‘round
in the water
my empty pockets
filling slowly
oh i’m floating
in this fountain
it’s so pretty
it’s so big
and i had to dive in
find every penny
feeling so lucky
near the drain
