the river//the rain
The river is rising,
the river is rising,
the water is coming to wash it away.
To let it all go, to let it all fade.
Time to shake hands with your past,
and make steps towards who you want to be.
I don’t even know what that means.
I wasn’t even hardly listening.
Oh, how the palm trees sighed.
Oh, how we felt those nights.
Lost in a fog, and the river is rising.
Coming to wash it away,
to rinse the dirt off,
the tears are free to fall short
and we’re free to try to make things work,
and you’re free to stay...

Yellow//Piano
We sneak outside in the summertime.
We were piano keys, we were
Piano keys
We were somewhere else at different times in different places
We were cautious of those around us.
We were private parties, we were living bodies.
We were piano keys dancing nicely, right in line.
We were piano keys and we were alive.
We love to sneak outside.
We were piano keys, we were
Piano keys
We were somewhere else at different times in different places
We were cautious of those around us.
We were private parties, we were living bodies.
We were piano keys dancing nicely, right in line.
We were piano keys and we were alive.
We love to sneak outside.

St. Peter
I am a conduit of darkness
I am the catalyst and comet
Ascension is heaven so why don't you wanna die
Give it a try
Nothing like living like its your last night
Alive and skin wrapped around meat and it feels good I'm sure,
You're satisfied and thats all that I need to get some sleep tonight
Crying in the dark while you're living a life
Thats just how it goes, you're either the hammer or the nail and you can't be both (I've tried)
So don't just throw yourself at any experience that seems like it'll get you where you expect you'll learn what you...

Ashes.
We match, we say nothing,
We dance, we feel something
We laugh, sometimes there's nothing
to talk about anyways.
We grin, we switch stance
we change up our distant glances
We think about breaking glass
when its in our hands
And everything adds up,
the damage spilleth over the cup,
when we were just on the cusp of
Learning how to change with our thoughts.
Thought process is diminishing real fast
You aren't gonna remember your name
next time someone asks.
We are ghosts without houses
Doomed to haunt...

Learning how to change with our thoughts.
Thought process is diminishing real fast
You aren't gonna remember your name
next time someone asks.
We are ghosts without houses
Doomed to haunt...

Caveman
Looking back and the ice thaws.
Who is it that you do the things you do for?
Is there anything left to see?
I don't know if I can be better than where I've been, this is it, forever, yeah this is probably the last time you're gonna see.
This is the last time you ever see me.
Why do I say these things?
No one is listening
Nobody is doing anything to further our society
Everyone's all about ME ME ME
I hope that changes within my lifetime.
I wanna see.
I want to see.
Who do you think of when you think of home?
Who do you think...
Who is it that you do the things you do for?
Is there anything left to see?
I don't know if I can be better than where I've been, this is it, forever, yeah this is probably the last time you're gonna see.
This is the last time you ever see me.
Why do I say these things?
No one is listening
Nobody is doing anything to further our society
Everyone's all about ME ME ME
I hope that changes within my lifetime.
I wanna see.
I want to see.
Who do you think of when you think of home?
Who do you think...

Metamorphosis
Did you mean it?
When you said we're changing
Keep a clear head
Mind your own fucking business
Sick of me yet?
I know someone who is
Distant relationships
Oh god I'm trapped, got sucked in
Keep track of the beat thats got you locked in
We build our cages. You'll never let a key fit.
The prisoner is dressed just like the warden.
Shaking hands with yourself makes everything worth it.
Did you mean it
When you said we were meant
For something better
Or was it something I said instead?
Hard to read...

phantom pains
Keep it burning between your fingers.
Don’t wanna waste it, don’t want to fake the pain you can’t remember.
You can’t remember, but it sucked when it was your turn.
You can’t remember, but you keep it there in your hand, slowly letting it burn.
Agonizing flames of pain coming in waves,
it’s no wonder you have trouble with things.
It’s no wonder you’re incapable of having feelings.
It’s no wonder you turned out this way.
A walking corpse,
a rotting source,
a poisoned well,
a living nightmare,
a shadow of who you wanted to be. ...

whale bones
My heart fell into the ocean.
Turned right into a wave of emotion
nobody knows where I'm gonna be going.
Nobody knows. Nobody knows nothing.
Keep your keys locked up, because I'm not going home,
home is where your heart beat rattles inside of your bones,
and my rib cage has grown over with mold.
Nothing left to do besides roll your stone.
The bottom of the ocean is comfortably cold
leagues of the sea swallow anyone up,
the ocean is calling,
calling me home.
My life flashed before my eyes,
and now I'm gone,
capsized...
