Here, Hear
05:00

By now it should be clear
That wavelengths and wires may bring us closer
But they can't make us care
Conversation's lost the hear
And freedom seems a farce
When choice consists of equal harms
A deepening feeling of fear
And you will find no respite here
Just an actor, tragically
Leading lines, projector screen
Simply aspiring
to something like autonomy
Can never quite reframe
This picture in a different way
When nothing's as it seems
Or ever was before here
Or ever was before now
By now it should be clear
That wavelengths and wires may bring us closer
But they can't make us care
The conversation's lost the hear

A Fire in Both Fields
04:18

Set a fire in both fields
Release what you wield
I'm marching in time
But losing the feel
A beautiful ring
A foreboding feeling
Oh where am I now
And what will next be
Just listen up and play it smart
Because you're the sum of moving parts
A fallen flag is just a rag for other's feet
Sow what you reap.
Believe in no one else
Believe in no one else
Believe in no one else
Until I tell you to
Until I tell you to
A fait accompli
Leaves something to be
No harrowing feats
Nor terror filled dreams
When what is not named
Can never be tamed
The look in your eyes
Speaks no compromise
And we exist just right outside
Of what is wrong and what abides
A testament to where we've been
Just close your eyes, I'll show you why
Believe in no one else
Believe in no one else
Believe in no one else
Until I tell you to
Until I tell you to

Duel
03:31
|
|||
|
Plot apocalypse
And your lips speak only lies
Color blind in excessive light
A pulsing radiant blue
Fear descends in concussive waves
Sky high flames
And you
Resolute
Simply look away
Float and Fade
Ooh ooh ooh

Foreign Places

Black cat
Well I'm sorry I showed you the door
It doesn't mean I don't want you around
I'm just trapped
In a game that I made for myself
And nobody else knows the rules
Except you
Because you've always been one step ahead
And the moves that I make are so obvious
A fool
In foreign places
I'd like to
Delve into
The mire
And uncover
Come back
Because it's too cold for comfort outside
And that's my door you've been hovering beside
I can't leave
But it's not about moving my feet
I'm just a welcoming witness to what I seek
Sunlight
And a reason to open my eyes
After each unaccountable evening
Delve into
The mire
And uncover
More mire
Delve into
The mire
And uncover

Meditation
04:31
|
|||
|
Just terrified
By what I've got to hide
When you were mine
I couldn't step aside
Evasion
Who are you? And what now should I know?
Collateral
Is never overblown
Feeling forsworn
Meditation
On where we used to be
Because we all have good intentions
And we just go where they will lead
Facsimile
Of of something strange to me
I'm not trapped, because I made this
Structure of our esteem
Not all I need
Carry on
And forgive what is done
Two, taciturn, bound beneath setting sun
Division
Meditation
On where we used to be
Because we all have good intentions
And we just go where they will lead
We make different destinations
But I adore the company
Meditation
On where we used to be

Conquest
02:55
|
|||
|
Let us be honest
I was only in your way
An object of conquest
Struck down where I lay
Fashions of fathers
Moving backwards or not at all
Pretend it's progress
Allay the guilt a little while
Because it won't always settle down
The way you want
Diffuse in concept
Worthless when so rich in will
Entrenching influence
It's not who you know, it's who you won't
Because it won't always settle down
The way you want
You can struggle while you drown
But it won't help
No, it won't always settle down
The way you want
You can struggle while you drown
But it won't help
