A Knock
02:03

There's a knock at the door
I first felt it 'round the time all ice had melted
Seems like everyone braces for the snow
when they're safe and they don't know
bad things happen when its warm
Do I conform?
How does anyone have time for social norms?
'cause working up the courage to answer the door...
...well I better work more
There's a knock
There's a knock growing louder now
shaking bookshelves, pictures falling down
I can't seem to figure out this cold case
Wrap my brain in police tape
Don't cross if you know what's good
for you, your family, your neighborhood
These neurons don't fire like they should...
...god I wish they would
What can I say that you will hear?
The exit pounding loud and clear
as violent as the voice inside
that screams that I should disappear
If I don't beat this, maybe I will
I'm running out of guts to spill
There's a knock
There's a knock
There's a knock
and my hand is on the door

Surface Tension

Oh my god the world is burning down around me
and I can't hear my own voice calling out to safety
Oh my god the world is burning down around me
I can't feel my own hands treading now
I fear I'll drown
It starts again
Can you feel it?
The fabric of the waves above your head pressing in
Take a breath while you can
but you better make it last
'cause the tide is coming back
Always lookin' up
just to fill my lungs with anything that's real
I thought I'd reach the shore by now
So much left to figure out
Shredded muscles failing now
Waste all my worry before I drown
Always lookin' up
just to fill my lungs with anything that's real
When everything I love is a figment
I'd give anything to feel alive
Always lookin' up
Always lookin' up
It'll get better with time you say
Things will not always be this way
It'll get better yeah
It will get better
It will get better with time...
It hasn't got better with time and I
am losing my will to stay alive
It isn't any better
When does it get better?
It has to get better before it gets worse now
Oh my god the world is burning down around me
and I can feel my body
break against the surface tension

Skin Communion
04:03
|
|||
I wont beg you for forgiveness
You'll have to kill me for my silence
Burn my house down
Sirens so loud
I lay their echoes at your feet on these six strings
Let them burn my offering
Still no sign of you breathing life
Wonder why my love resides with you
Different colored light is shining through
Still no sign of you breathing life
How am I supposed to die for you?
Different colored light is shining through
Skin communion
Sigh and fill my cup
Bless the altar
Turn and spill my blood
You don't taste much different than she does
You don't waste much time on giving up
You gave up

I See You
03:33
|

I've been working on my reply to that look in your eyes
telling me that it gets dark no matter where you are
3 AM again and you feel like you're invisible and nothing is real
Sometimes I feel invisible too
and I see you
I see you
Don't you get sick of wishing you were dead?
So do I
Don't you just wish for silence instead?
So do I
Let's wait at the edge of the world and watch it burn
As it grows dark and cold, you keep a light on
Beside me I feel your skin glow red when you say
"No one wants me dead more than me, so set me free"
If you go then I go too
Let's try something new
Let's try something
Let's wait at the edge of right now and watch it burn
As the darkness surrounds, you are the light on
Beside me I feel your skin glow red when you say
"I want this more than I want death and I think I'll stay"

Islands
03:16
|

Uncle Sammy's got a gun and
I think he's out to get me
The truth is the proof is in the
Islands swallowed, rising waters
Torches fill my lungs with fire
Try to burn this rainbow bridge and
I'll drown your bones in quicksand
Islands swallowed, rising waters
Torches fill my lungs with fire
I need to make sure you stay dead

A Quiet Exit
05:30
|
|||
Summoning my ghosts just to hear them sing
Claw between my ribs so I can feel something
Who knows now what they hide? I don't pay them mind
Not convinced its better just to stay alive a little bit longer
Eating from your hand just to fill this void
'cause going it alone has left me paranoid
The questions that I ask of the universe
are met with empty laughing and mangled curses
I'm just looking for a quiet exit
A break where I can take my leave
I just wanna know where the end is
I can't seem to let it rest in peace
Filling exit bags in my damaged brain
Lead me to the slaughter where I'll die in vain
I will take your silence like a starting gun
A voice inside says "run boy run"
I'm just looking for a quiet exit
A break where I can take my leave
I just wanna know where the end is
I can't seem to let it rest in peace
Don't let it rest now
If every single bone returns to the ground
The words of kings and peasants make the same damn sound
Then I have faith that everything will come back down
I'm just looking for a quiet exit
A break where I can take my leave
I just wanna know where the end is
I can't seem to let it
I can't seem to let it
I'm done looking for a map to guide me
I'm done begging for my lungs to breathe
Every minute here feels like dying
You can't seem to let me rest
in peace
I'm just looking for a quiet exit
Let me rest
I'm just looking for a quiet place to die
