Human Mind

Second guessing every word that you’ve ever uttered
Sure that everyone should live in fear of each other
Robbing yourself of everything you love in isolation
Getting crushed under all that you take until you break
There’s nothing better when it’s cold than a fire and a garden of ashes
Turning everything you was into fire and into a garden of ashes
Counting all my mistakes and fuck ups and losing track
Every single day when I wake up I take it all back
Ashamed of the way that people live like animals
If we’ve survived at all it is despite our human minds
Counting all my mistakes and fuck ups and losing track
There will be a day when I wake up and never look back
On the things that make me want to live like an animal
But the things that make me want to try a human mind

Seance
02:26
|

Faceless like a shadow
Where the light’s not doesn’t matter
I know how to listen but not to respond to these things
Choose the never ending
Look at what you’re defending
Set dreamlike state
Don’t ever speak my name
Nothing to give and that nothing is mine
Let’s go on and live two whole new lies
Looking for love with a seance

Empty Hands
02:34
|

Taken - more lives drifting up in smoke
No one there to hear the only truth you spoke
Here’s an understatement - things are bleak
I’m the worst and only company I keep
The voice I loved is gone
Now I love loneliness
But the world still goes on with my back turned to it
And empty hands
So much for your claims and promises
So much lost

Do you burn churches or do you burn books?
You say the wrong things but have the right looks
You’ve got everything and still want more
Without knowing what you even live for
This is too much, this is too real, and it’s too late to stop now
Screams so loud, crushing doubt, funeral gowns
People and the past repeat themselves
The broken records are flying off shelves
We’re losing control of how we’re defined
And get our exercise by running out of time
New face, same shit
New life, same shit

Dirt
02:48
|
|||
Walk across the ceiling, float towards me descending
Bodies become abstractions that I can’t let go of
Show me that I’m weak and walk away
Show me that I’m weak because I’ve got nowhere
Autopilot again, beyond repair broken
Maybe I’m there under the layers and layers of dirt
Show me that I’m weak and walk away slow
Show me that I’m weak because I’ve got nowhere else to go
Do you think they know you’re hollow?

Words Words Words

Viral shame, a nation in chains
Futile strife and this is the rest of our lives
Cracked blinds, the threat is outside
Lit fuse, manipulated and abused
Is there a way we can know peace with armed occupants in our streets?
A farm for fear, taste the air
But I’m not powerless or weak
There’s nothing sacred here in this moral no man’s land
And I don’t accept these terms because they’re not true
They’re just words
Spell crazed, new leaders to praise
Hidden hand, and thoughtless golems made of sand

Equinox
04:41
|
|||
Forgetting how everything feels
This agents purpose is numbing
Pretend I’m alone because I want to be but look to see if someone’s coming
Holes deepen and skies cave in
And everyone I see is just like me
Waiting on an equinox
At least something’s always changing
Celebrating with an autumn breeze
The comfort in not ever knowing
Mourning ritual, they’re still alive in our minds
Rotting structures collapse all around us at all times
Murder
The blood will run with or without you
The floating cadavers you tend to get used to
The blood will run with or without you
But I still see beauty
It’s something I can’t explain

Rainfall
02:48
|
|||
Deepest darkest blue coloring my world with you
Deepest darkest black and it’s not ever going back
I deserve it all
All the dark clouds
All the rainfall and all that comes down
All my mistakes and all I’ve been through
And all I regain when I get over you
Think you’ve seen my worst? Wait till I put myself first
New skin to the touch, it was good but not enough

In Your Debt
02:29
|
|||
Peering into the fog sneaking by armed guards
Walking the tree line awaiting your call
Imperfect strangers with a mutual distress
That night we were giants like the ones you scoffed
Fearing the devil because he’s in your head
But he’s in all of us so take what you want
Shaking, quivering
Iron gates opening
Hell's choir here to sing
And when the night is done I’ll leave and I’ll always be gone

Hemlock

Walk away from another mess
Keep on going until there’s nothing left
I could change but I haven’t found out
It’s still something I just dream about
Crowds awaiting and applauding earth's slow demise
Nothing you think ends with you where your body lies
Other side, grin from ear to ear
I was told I could expect you here
It’s not real now and it wasn't then
Everything we say is just pretend

Catastrophist
03:30
|
|||
An unwanted son, a weight that you bear
An opened up heart with nothing in there
A whole other world inside of your fist
A mystic, a critic, and a devastatrix
A whole life of looking and nothing to be found
A whole world of shit to go around
A spark that if you blink you will miss
A skeptic, an adept, and a catastrophist
This world is a cold bed to lie on
It’s a cold shoulder to cry on
