is it that much longer til you get here
await for hours, months and days
and I asked for the permission
so now I'm stranded
swear the days grow longer as I stay here
and count the hours of the days and
don't know what I've been missing
it takes it's toll over me
sometimes I can't see the light
hiding out somewhere in the distance
sometimes I feel disinclined
caught up with no sense of direction
how's it almost summer, I can't feel it
pull down my blinds and isolate me
today I want to sleep
and forget to wake up
seems my mind gets darker every day here
I'd pray for hours, was there faith near
I want you to come closer, close to me
I don't want to be destructive
but I see no way out of this
sometimes I can't see the light
hiding out somewhere in the distance
sometimes I feel disinclined
caught up with no sense of direction
but you're crystalline

Wither

I'm obnoxious right now
outside taking over
when the inside has no time
to feed it withers away
that part that's solid
shrinks down into static
touch me and I'll send a jolt
through your well-meaning hands,
make you shy away
like a secret weighing on my mind
when the walls are closing in on my skin
it was always on my mind
how phrase it right
guess it takes some more time
that need to breathe, to be alone
put all the pieces back
I fall into disarray
let me organize myself
when I'm alone I'm endless
wide expanse of the mind
meet that figure inside
I'll lose the connection if I can't be with her
like a secret weighing on my mind
when the walls are closing in on my skin
it was always on my mind
how phrase it right
guess it takes some more time

I cannot forget you
not even if I tried
but ever since I left you
I'm feeling sort of alright
I can sense a sickness
on the tip of your tongue
but when you say you've missed me
in a blur we're kissing
nowadays it's all the same
sleep in strange shapes,
oh what a pain
I'm getting stuck in the same thoughts
we're destructive, me and my scattered brain
"we could make new memories
if that is what you want"
give me that Groundhog's feeling,
my Sisyphean high
got me trapped by instincts
and I can't decide
and it makes me dizzy
yeah it makes me dizzy
nowadays it's all the same
sleep in strange shapes,
oh what a pain
I'm getting stuck in the same thoughts
not constructive, me or my scattered brains

Don't Go Near the Water
02:31
|

I lost my focus
I let you in
tried to keep you an arms length
what are you seeing
I cannot say
when I feel like nothing at all
then I wake up in the morning
see your hair reflect the sunlight
as long as you lie beside me
I will never step outside
I'm overthinking my every step
I'm cleaning out every trace of myself
my thoughts, they haunt me
the voices say
don't go near the water, you might drown
then I wake up in the morning
see your hair reflect the sunlight
as long as you lie beside me
I will never step outside

No Sleep
03:36
|

I've been seeming so intrepid
and untoward but feeling quite neglective
lately I've been feeding off a sickness
you're offering a taste of something different
to stay in the sound
(I'm all done)
I feel my eyes
the things that I hated do
are the things that I like to do
yeah I cannot get no sleep
spent my weeks by myself then
one night I think saw an apparition
listened to her but I felt no different
was anybody there,
although I felt it there was no sound
(I'm all done)
I feel my eyes
the things that I hated do
are the things that I like to do
yeah I cannot get no sleep
lay in the sun
til my eyes turn red
the things that I hated do
are the things that I like to do
yeah I cannot get no sleep

Always

do you remember what it was like in '65?
I remember us dancing and driving in the sun
I've been growing an interest in those times
as you stay in the night
I made a promise I would remain by your side
but there was something malignant and it took it all out
the cancer was spreading in your blood
and we never said goodbye
and when it's time to pass
I'm not afraid
then I will see you again
finally I will be with you
always
least I won't be alone tonight

Is It
04:38
|

lay around me
haunt my surroundings
I've lost my head entirely
the days pass by outside me
sleepless dreaming and eyes closed living
I've lost something inside me
does anything excite me
(in this town)
I'm broken on the floor
stab me right in the face now
it's nothing you would do
or is it, is it
isolated but never lonely
those insane eyes glued on me
they're taking over slowly
step outside into a great nothing
she's drowing in anxiety
and let it be defining
(this time)
I'm broken on the floor
stab me right in the face now
it's nothing you would do
or is it, is it

Vanish
04:23
|

I don't mind if it takes some time
there's an itching
and I'm waiting
whatever it may be
saw the signs spinning all around
there's a big sleep with its eyes on me
infecting everything
steadily turning up the heat
and trying to persist animosity
endlessly fall in every creek
growing as we please
only to vanish

Longing
04:40
|
|||
shifting my weight in the bed
this night reminds me of the last
I look different in the shade
rumination in the flesh
I count the steps through the empty space in my room
I'd love to stay, but there's someone else in my skin
conflicting thinking in my head
distal longing in my chest
I count the steps through the empty space in my room
I'd love to stay, but there's someone else in my skin
