Hope
02:55
|

|
He stumbled down the street
With a face plagued with defeat.
“Where do I go from here?”
He thought problems oh so mere.
“I’m a puppet of the Earth.
My actions have no worth.”
But then he saw the face
That put him in his place.
She said, “My name is Hope
And I got just what you need.
Just a little bit of me
Will go and make your life complete.”
She said, “My name is Hope
And I got just what you need.
Just a little bit of me
Will go and make your life complete.”
Sapphire eyes she worn
Like jewels to adore
Her feet were planted firm
Meanwhile he could not discern
Myth from reality
Weightlessness from gravity
But he chose to take a chance
And he took her by the hand.
She said, “My name is Hope
And I got just what you need.
Just a little bit of me
Will go and make your life complete.”
She said, “My name is Hope
And I got just what you need.
Just a little bit of me
Will go and make your life complete.”
She said, “My name is Hope
And I got just what you need.
Just a little bit of me
Will go and make your life complete.”
She said, “My name is Hope
And I got just what you need.
Just a little bit of me
Will go and make your life complete.”

Tongue-Tied
02:35
|

|
I have a mansion, I keep my shoes in it
I own a tiger, I play pool with it
Blue seagulls, red clouds
Are flying, on the ground
You never know what you’ll see on a Tuesday night
I’ve been trying to make sense
Of all these words inside my head
But nothing comes through
I’m tongue-tied to you
You cut through the gibberish and luminate my feelings for you
When my dog’s sleeping, he watches the T.V.
I hear them knocking, what do you want from me?
You dance through me, I fly back
When I see you, I lose track
Of everything I know and who I am
I’ve been trying to make sense
Of all these words inside my head
But nothing comes through
I’m tongue-tied to you
You cut through the gibberish and luminate my feelings for you
Come and join me, in this crazy world
I kick off my shoes, you let your mind unfurl
When I kiss you, the sky breaks
I think you’ve got, what it takes
To make me see things right for once in my life
I’ve been trying to make sense
Of all these words inside my head
But nothing comes through
I’m tongue-tied to you
You cut through the gibberish and luminate my feelings for you

My love, my love is so deep for you
You got just what I need right on cue
We hold each other’s hand in the day
At night you squeeze me tight the same way
The way you look into my eyes
The way you hold me late at night
The way you bring me to the floor
I can’t hold it in no more
My love, my love it tears at my heart
Whenever you and I are apart
But when you’re back I know what you’ll do
You’ll dust me off and make me brand new
The way you look into my eyes
The way you hold me late at night
The way you bring me to the floor
I can’t hold it in no more
My love, my love ties my heart in knots
You occupy my dreams and my thoughts
My love you know it’s getting quite late
So come to me and let’s seal our fate
The way you look into my eyes
The way you hold me late at night
The way you bring me to the floor
I can’t hold it in no more

Bliss

|
Put on my jacket, take a look outside
Pause for a moment, I wish I had more time
You’ve shown me mountains that I’ve never seen
But when you say you love me I just don’t know what you mean
I’m not the one you need
I could never keep you happy, safe, and warm
I’m ripping at the seams
Trying to keep you dry and sheltered from this storm
Sunshine in the morning streams in on my bed
Take a drink of water, clear you from my head
Last night when we parted, you gave your heart to me
But why you stay blind to my feelings I will never see
I’m not the one you need
I could never keep you happy, safe, and warm
I’m ripping at the seams
Trying to keep you dry and sheltered from this storm
Tap on your window, you greet me with a smile
Pick up your luggage, we’re leaving for a while
My doubt and mixed feelings, they cut me like a knife
But there’s one thing I know for sure, I need you in my life
It took a while to see
But my inhibitions and fears have reformed
You mean so much to me
Now that I’m with you, I feel like I’m reborn

Save Your Tears
03:30
|
|||
|
Such a lovely place, such a perfect scene
Just two young faces nothing in between
Symbiotic, so symbolic, of the stoic
Moment of no separation for which I’m about to test
You see now, here, I’m a jaguar
I’ll rip her jugular out and juggle all of her blood around
I’m no good at it so most of it falls from my claws onto the ground
Into my mouth, gurgle it like I got some Listerine
Such an awful place, such a brutal scene
Some people might question my motives
And to that I say I have none
Have you not known I am soulless?
Have you not known I’m not human?
The sight of blight is my solace
My eyes they fly like a heron
My teeth they scream for red polish
My claws they’re caught around someone
And it doesn’t even matter who or what it is
As long as you aren’t it, you’ll know that I’ll be coming after it
Everything you love, everything you trust
Everything you want out of life Imma blow it up
You scream and call me a parasite
Well I’ll have to agree and say that’s right
But before you could retaliate
I can hear her last words play
Baby, oh, don’t you cry no more
Won’t you save your tears for my funeral?
Baby, oh, won’t you try to go
Make something of the world more beneficial?
It seems that I cry over a vast multitude of reasons
I cry over music, over change in the seasons
I cry other beauty over pain over lesions
Held within a system of my brain, you’ll never see it
I also got a lot that I keep hidden from the universe
I keep them in a box with many locks that I’ll take to the hearse
But not the grave cuz I’m afraid the cemetery’s
Gonna flood over from all the tears that I hold deep within me
The tears from the years of fears that I held near tome
The tides that I try to hide but will soon consume me
With weakness comes bleakness, meekness, but I’ll conceal it
I don’t wanna know the blow that will follow feeling
I thought I, had fought it, off
Depression, exhaustion, troughs
But now all the pretty things have been stained with little red dots
Baby, oh, don’t you cry no more
Won’t you save your tears for my funeral
Baby, oh, won’t you try to go
Make something of the world more beneficial
Yeah, I know he’s not the only thing
That’s keeping you from having me
But baby, oh, don’t you cry no more
Won’t you save your tears for my funeral

Arrow to the Mirror
05:40
|

|
Today’s my birthday but nobody seems to care.
They’re more invested in Earth’s.
Well I guess I stole it from her anyway.
And I can hear my parents fighting up the stairs.
“I guess that we will
Have to love him against our own will,” I’d guess they’ll say.
I wanna tell the world that, yes, I do exist,
But it’s not like my words’ll ever be known.
I shot an arrow to the mirror, but I missed.
I guess it hit its clone
Somebody get a therapist to help me out.
You’re stuck in my head and there’s no doubt,
But you’re still stuck in the clouds.
I never thought that the ending would be this dark.
I apologize, but I assume I missed the mark.
I just wanna be with you singing, “Hark!”
I wish that I had known that my muscles weren’t dismissed.
So that I wouldn’t have put weight atop of my bones.
I shot an arrow to the mirror, but I missed.
It must’ve hit its clone.
Somebody get a therapist to help me out.
You’re stuck in my head and there’s no doubt,
But you’re still stuck in the clouds.
I never thought that the ending would be this dark.
I apologize, but I assume I missed the mark.
I just wanna be with you singing, “Hark!”
I guess this is goodbye
Although I don’t know why
I can’t stay a little while longer
I guess this is goodbye
Although I don’t know why
You can’t be a little bit stronger
I guess I’ll see you again.
Although I don’t know when
But hopefully it’s sometime soon
I guess I’ll see you again.
Although I don’t know when
But remember, but remember
My love’s as big as the moon
Hope, I hope I see you soon
Though I know it, I know it's hard
Hope, I hope I see you soon
But until then please, send me a postcard

Cobwebs
03:41
|
|||
|
The cobwebs in my mail (they scared me)
Almost half to death (I hope the)
Other half won’t fail upon me now
And jaguars in my mind (they’re set to)
Fatten from my fears (and yet do)
I hear turtles pine towards sleep due now?
I know that you left two days ago
yet I proclaim that I’m going insane
So do you have per chance some ways you know
to unsustain all the bites in my brain cuz
I don’t wanna be an out-of-state license plate
in the middle of a hospital parking lot
An out-of-date regurgitated
Skittle in a pain-riddled army cot
Oh I don’t ever wanna be alone
with my thoughts as they turn into carnivores
As an out-of-place honest state
in the middle of a map’s triple trapping spot
Cobwebs, oh they haunt me day by day
the stagnant frame leaves me going insane
Jungles, yeah they demons displayed
inside my brain; what is there left to say?
But that cobwebs you can rid of with a blow of the hand, a punch of the lungs
While jaguars can do to you just as much.
I always watch my back (like vampires)
with mirror glasses (but empires)
of dark dots descend upon me now
And jaguars in my mind (they’re set to)
Fatten from my fears (and yet do)
I hear turtles pine towards sleep due now?
I don’t wanna be an out-of-state license plate
in the middle of a hospital parking lot
An out-of-date regurgitated
Skittle in a pain-riddled army cot
Oh I don’t ever wanna be alone
with my thoughts as they turn into carnivores
As an out-of-place honest state
in the middle of a map’s triple trapping spot

Dreams (Done For Good)
04:26
|
|||
|
Let it be known that I was just like you
Prototype to what the grown life would do
But sometimes I wish that I was a model with no function
So when you go scrape your arm with a pen
Walking towards corridors for hours on end
Just know your life will come without any sort of conjunction
Like the sun that’s in the land of the night
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Let it be known that I was just like you
Archetype to what the main characters do
But sometimes I wish that I was abiotic instead.
So when you go imagine that all of your friends
Will pin you down to the ground, put the boots on your neck.
Just know that the only thing that you have lost is your head
Yeah, yeah, let it be known that I was just like you
Stereotype to what the world expects me to do
But sometimes I wish that I could not be identified
So when you feel claw vapors scratch on your back
Matador fearing for a foreign attack
Just know that the places your mind has gone will leave it fried.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Let it be known that I was just like you
Angsty type to what the adolescent do
But sometimes I wish that I experiences no emotions
So when you and your father have a violent diatribe
All about the benefits of exeunting your life
Just know that your eyes have focused towards freckles for devotion
Like the sun that’s in the land of the night.
I’m the son, and the stars have deceived my sight.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.
Oh you’re gone. Yeah, you’re done for good.

Drift
03:41
|
|||
|
I saw you everyday
Never a word I say to you
Now I’d beg you to stay
There’s so much pain I’m going through
It’s a story as old as time
Please tell me why
Love waits ‘til the wrong time
I soon would find a drift in time
Your tears would always fall
As you recalled the way she spoke
Traffic slowed to a crawled
You feel so small, your courage broke
It’s a story as old as time
Please tell me why
Love waits ‘til the wrong time
You soon would find a drift in time
He thought he saw her face
Right at the place where they first met
But it was empty space
He felt disgrace and cold regret
It’s a story as old as time
Please tell me why
Love waits ‘til the wrong time
He soon would find a drift in time

Treadmill
03:21

I got as many eyes on the road that I can which is none
Because I’m blind to the load that I’m carrying for one.
Reap the mind that I sowed rather than duck and run
From the mess I made.
Oh, and yesterday.
My God it was a fire at the door that I spent years to craft.
Burnt with desire to the core while I just sat there looking daft.
Cut the wire. Nothing more to see while I drift back to drafts.
Oh sometimes, I feel like I’m running in place, I’m running in place.
Oh sometimes, I feel like I’m running in place to a destination that I know is nowhere.
I’ve seen so many people running out of time
While I’m still running on the line, yeah, I’m still running on the line.
I’ve seen so many people running out of time
While I’m still running on the line, yeah, I’m still running on the line.
I’ve seen so many people running out of time
While I’m still running on the line, yeah, I’m still running on the line.
I’ve seen so many people running out of time
While I’m still running on the line.
Oh sometimes, I feel like I’m running in place, I’m running in place.
Oh sometimes, I feel like I’m running in place, running in place now.
Oh sometimes, I feel like I'm running in place, I'm running in place.
Oh sometimes, I feel like I’m running in place to a destination that I know is nowhere.

Imaginary Friends
02:59
|
|||
|
I got imaginary friends that say they're gonna help me out,
But they never do so what about now?
I got imaginary friends that say they're gonna help me out,
But they never do so what about now?
What about now?
How many times do I have to make my fake confessions
To make me seem like I have no cause?
How many lies did I make into internal aggressions?
Those I deceive are such of great loss;
To those I receive are so out of lust.
I got imaginary friends that say they're gonna help me out,
But they never do so what about now?
I got imaginary friends that say they're gonna help me out,
But they never do so what about now?
What about now? Yeah.
How long was it ago when you made me join your coalition?
I joined the team, as I saw no wrongs.
That was until I realized that all it became was a large militia,
To exceed the breed against all the odds.
Such a disease to everyone's thoughts.
I got imaginary friends that say they're gonna help me out,
But they never do so what about now?
I got imaginary friends that say they're gonna help me out,
But they never do so what about now?
What about now?
Remember that time when we were out and we were playing religion?
You were the king, and I was the god.
I was the perpetrator, and yet you were the one to fix it.
Lead you to believe that I was a fraud.
Lead me to scream that I was not.
I'm an imaginary friend who says I'm gonna help you out.

Nova Scotian Oceans
04:40
|
|||
|
Eighteen years I have built my throne
Made out of marble and made out of stone
But it’s still a house of cards all the same
Forged signatures with your real name
Go build a fire and watch it burn to flames
Distance yourself from everything you’ve claimed
The light I found
Wasn’t the same as the one I was looking for
I tried but somehow
Everything I knew just held me down
Nova Scotian oceans
Have been flying from my face
I’ve been lying here for days
All just tryna get a taste
Of the sweet salt in motion
But it never comes my way
I’ve been shattered froze in place
Terrified of what I face
Egyptian linens are now my home
I haven’t washed them since six months ago
Stuck in a tar pit of my own demise
Give me torture within a disguise
Give me the pleasures I will soon despise
The world keeps spinning but out of our sight
Nova Scotian oceans
Have been flying from my face
I’ve been lying here for days
All just tryna get a taste
Of the sweet salt in motion
But it never comes my way
I’ve been shattered froze in place
Terrified of what I face
Nova Scotian oceans
Have been flying from my face
I’ve been lying here for days
All just tryna get a taste
Of the sweet salt in motion
But it never comes my way
I’ve been shattered froze in place
Terrified of what I face
Dolphins diving right onto dry land
Build up a castle with the tear-soaked sand
And you too with believe every illusion you’ve made
That Nova Scotian oceans
Have been drying to my face
I’ve been crying here for days
I’ve been dying to get away
