Take what you want and I’ll take what you don’t
Masquerades are so boring, I can’t keep this face on
And pay for your sins at a price second only to gold
No, I won’t make this easy
So prepare for war, call in favors you’re owed
Drink away your restraint, it will only betray you
Stay calm, we never lose, we never lose...
Our calm
Wake to a conversation that you had long ago
Well, your memory’s relentless
It plagues every hour you’d rather spend all on your own
But you won’t let them leave you
Stay calm, we never lose, we never lose…
Stay calm

A New Kind of Hope
04:27

I’m sorry, I tried, but I won’t make you proud
I meant no harm, I think you know this
And though I may die a “no one,” a nameless man
I did all I set out to do
I’ve wasted my life, and others’ on teenage dreams
And took my time to notice
And now I rely on memories more hazy than clear
To keep me alive, in some new kind of hope
Don’t let me down
Don’t let go

Good Grief
03:38

When I was younger I’d always hoped to die before I knew better
Then all you saviors on the pavement rode in on chariots made of disbelief
So I grew older, strong but just as weak
As I ever was, or I’d ever be
Slowly erased
Then I grew tired, lost my bearings
And I made a wish I hope you respect:
Do not revive me, just relieve me
It’s all I’d ever want, and I don’t want me
Slowly erased

Avalanche

Oh, my avalanche, you hold no grudges now
Take my apple heart and bake a nice pie for everyone
Children laughing at all they have created
Old obituaries molded into paper mache faces

The Looking Glass

To everyone I’ve ever loved
I know you meant and wished me well
But I don’t deserve anyone
I know that now, and yeah, I feel it too
Now everything is dark
And all those plans we had are lost
Plans that move
Plans that sing
Plans that make you the person you are
Now everything is all I have
A million faces now, and just one looking glass
Lasting mistakes
Haunt me always

Hey now, I would love you for myself
I would love you for myself, but you let me go
Patience fed present to the past
Where all good things will last, oh, we never know
Faded like the silence in our bones
The unkempt naked soul groans let me go
Hey now, I would love you for myself
I would love you for myself, but you let me go

Someday I will die
And someday they will die too
So why the fuck should I care how I’m remembered?
I won’t regret a thing
I won’t say anything
That I didn’t mean, not that it matters anyway
My state of mind
And your point of view
Don’t need to shake hands at specific coordinates
I know everything
You think I’ll never be
Yet I still exist enough to keep your mind on edge
You won’t regret the time you spent
Wondering if I’d be ok
I promise not to disappoint, I’ll make things interesting for you
But how this ends is really anybody’s guess

The Waiting Room
03:04
|

|
We left it all in the waiting room, where the sickness never dies
And laughed again in that same old tone, like a servant in his prime
The pictures sway in their metal frames to reveal the shaded paint
What once was white now plays it gray and never seems to age
A turnstile, a siren, infinite in its whine
A prophet, a painter, a prole in proper garments
Today is the day, we wept away our vision in denial
The senses take and congregate in an explosion in the sky
A simpleton made a fool of love, made a pass at confidence
And the city lights took their fucking time, so we waited and waited
Waited…
And we left it all in the waiting room
We left it all in the waiting room

We grew our hopes too high
Watched them fall
Made up a native tongue
Spoke words wrong
We’d sown our fathers’ rights
Yet failed to fight
Met friends with promises
A maiden flight
Lift off beheld a sight
Bathed in light
We slept for years some nights
Yet lost no time
Took note of storylines
Like long lost scribes
We knew our own demise
Wept for miles
Broke bread, ate silently
Yet found no peace
Last stop, the common life
A first born child
Trapped in the kingdom of
Luke warm blood
We grew our hopes too high
Watched them fall
