Hello
Do you know
You're alone?
I'm a ghost
And you'd be better to forget
That we ever met, coincident
In the back of your mind
I'm the only thing you'll find
Waiting for the time
I reach from the other side
What is yours, tonight
Will soon be mine
Collapsed on your back
Screaming please,
Please, please
Let me be
In the back of your mind
I'm the only thing you'll find
Waiting for the time
I reach from the other side
What is yours, tonight
Will soon be mine
What is yours, tonight
Will soon be mine

I'd not have thought that after all this time
I'd be seeing your face tonight
I can't stop thinking about you
I'll feign a smile as you recall your tale
But fuck you is how I really feel
I'm hopeless and I'm not getting better
I'm keenly aware it's not about me
But I desperately
Want it to be
All of the time
If I have to be
Your enemy
Well that feels right
Forgive me while I roll my eyes
I've heard that punchline a thousand times
And it still sounds
Like you're the butt if the joke
But that's just shit we never talk about
So instead I'm thinking about myself
I'm jealous and I'm scared
I'm keenly aware it's not about me
But I desperately
Want it to be
All of the time
If I have to be
Your enemy
Well that feels right
That feels right

Evacuation
03:28
|
|||
|
Don't tempt me
Because I'm going nowhere
At an extra ordinary
Speed
Don't trust your eyes
They can't gather that light
Collect this debt
Contraction
I'm the face of evacuation
Running hard
It won't take long, if you just stay calm
It can't be that bad
No, not just a dream
And you're coming with me
Shy like, child's fright
Confession
Just can't clear a path
Absent your wrath
Forecast, fresh ash
Encircling me
I'm the face of evacuation
Running hard
It won't take long, if you just stay calm
It can't be that bad

Body
03:44
|
|||
|
That's your body
Yet there's only more to know
About you
And the history you hold
Alone, alone, alone
Sleep softly
Flutter echoes bound about
Much like heartache
When you're focused on yourself
I'll help, I'll help, I'll help
But you're always further away
When you stay with me
I'll reside by your side
But that isn't what we think it means
Concede to me, concede
Concede, concede

Wishing Well

Please don't be kind
Because you're always on my mind
And I'm tired
Of Loving you this way
If you can't stay
Then you better stay away
Because all I see
Is so many steps beyond me
So funny that you say that now
Wayward and waiting
it's hard for me to know if this
Is a thought of any consequence
Just talk to me
ignorant of boundaries
I'll be free
Arrogant and unsated
May I ask why
Are we even waiting
You've got your eye
So many steps beyond me
Whatever you want
To tell yourself, I won't
Incapable of wishing well
I want it all, just lust
Cascading through my thoughts
Insatiable, not wishing well
So funny that you say that now
Wayward and waiting
it's hard for me to know if this
Is a thought of any consequence

Empty Room
03:31
|
|||
|
When all your friends have walked away
What's left of you?
A mirror standing all alone
In an empty room
You trade off faces every night
Because what's under is no more true
You trade off faces every night
And still don't know what to do
It doesn't make sense
That we should persist like this
Metamorphosis
What will become of you
A style so shallow you can't lose
Is that enough for you?
A bit further backwards with every move
And you're running out of room
Each thought an echo of the truth
Each thought an echo, haunting you
And you're running out of room
It doesn't make sense
That we should persist like this
Metamorphosis
That will become you too

Call
03:24
|
|||
|
Though you want to
You may never pass through
Into a life unencumbered
Of hunger
For liberation from your pain
I will find you in your home
Tied down
Like an shadow of the friend
I used to know
And it just feels cold
Because we used to dream the same things
But now it's easier pretending
That I couldn't hear your call
Lie awake
And recall all my mistakes
And I shed all of the weight
I can't use
I will find you in your home
Tied down
Like an shadow of the friend
I used to know
And it just feels cold
And though you want to
You may never pass through

Fallen Age
03:17
|
|||
|
I am struggling to find my way without you
I need validation, validation
What now should I be?
Been so paralyzed a captive in my home
With a bitter taste I cannot shake
From every word I spoke
How did I get here?
So far from home
There's a hole in my hindsight
So large it seems like
There's nothing I can know
Passive reaction
To inaction
Runaway
Perspectives change
Because the past is elastic
Isn't it strange
Living in a fallen age?
