Smoke Signal
02:32
|
|||
|
anxious all at once
it seems I can't fall too far
lest I see what I never could before
and it follows me down
every corner to the edge
looking for a smoke signal
countless hours
staring at the moon
knowing full well it could all be over soon
and I'll wait for another day
to fill my head again
and it follows me down
every corner to the edge
looking for a smoke signal
another night
I'll wait for you
to fall from grace
and I'll sink or swim
as the water overtakes
all I see

Isolation
03:13
|
|||
|
often times I have to fake my way
through the day-to-day
I know it's wrong but I cannot fix
what I have no control over
I didn't ask to be this way
but I will fix this broken mind
before the end of this autumn night I swear
I can't believe I figured out
this forgotten yesterday
walking under the orange halo
of the streetlights, another night
isolation comes for me once again
and I know he'll be back
but I will fix this broken mind
before the end of this autumn night I swear
I can't believe I figured out
this forgotten yesterday

The Start of Something
03:31
|
|||
|
day after day I fall
for what you told me now
here we are at the end
or so I thought, it could be
the start of something greater
than I could ever comprehend
as the forest burns, you sat alone
under the canopy, trying to save yourself again
now you know what it's like to lie in the fire
waiting for any sign of what's to come to emerge
I'll wait for you into the night
as the forest burns, you sat alone
under the canopy, trying to save yourself again
but I don't see how
this could ever last and
I know you feel the same
falling out of everything I thought I knew
but I see you always wanted it this way

Aurora
04:32
|
|||
|
you think you know who you are
but you nothing more than a hollow shell
cycling through the universe helplessly
one more path that leads to nothing
searching for one more broken memory
like a ghost inside of my head
an aurora inside of me that never lets me go
an ever-lasting sin
searching for one more broken memory
like a ghost inside of my head

Ursa Minor
04:05
|
|||
|
the setting sun casts a shadow over yesterday
I know I can't live up to what I should be
I'd rather die sometimes than be caught up in this
I know you want what's best
as the hum of the city dims
you wait for me there
into the night we fled over again
I wonder how long it'll be
'till Ursa Minor shows its face
some days I know that isn't really so bad
but I can't help feeling like I should be
more than what I've become these days
for what it's worth, we're alright
as the hum of the city dims
you wait for me there
into the night we fled over again
I wonder how long it'll be
'till Ursa Minor shows its face
as the hum of the city dims
you wait for me there
into the night we fled over again
I wonder how long it'll be
'till Ursa Minor shows its face

Carousel
02:58
|
|||
|
day after day
an endless chain of events
that amount to nothing more than you make of it
wandering around this carousel
looking for salvation
at the bottom of another bottle
you don't care how fast you could return
to ash and dust one of these days
I know you're not one for my pleasantries
but i couldn't stop myself this time
you never stop to think how long
you could keep this up
but before too long I'll leave this town for good
burn the postcards while I can

Phoenix
02:22
|
|||
|
waiting for a time that we can reconcile
all that we brought upon ourselves
when we're caught in the rain
you never turned your back on this
like I thought you would but now I see
how far I have to fall
to save myself from the edge of this void
I cannot wake up from
you try to turn the other cheek
but you don't realize we're forced into this mess together
you never turned your back on this
like I thought you would but now I see
what we've become
you thought too much
and now I'm tired
of this emptiness

Dragonflies
02:55
|
|||
|
dragonflies surrounding the porchlight
from dusk to dawn
before the edges of summer
depart for another year
and I know you can't come down from this
but it'll feel much better than
sinking into your own abyss
another day
looking for whatever I have to look forward to
this time next year
before it all crumbles away
and I know you can't come down from this
but it'll feel much better than
sinking into your own abyss

Jupiter's Lifeless Moons
04:43
|
|||
|
I fell to earth from a thousand miles away
way out there I've seen more than you can imagine
Jupiter's lifeless moons circle around forevermore
I'll swim to the surface for as long as you need me to
I know you think that I do not belong
another specimen for your examination
does it make you feel smart?
you can say whatever you desire
but it's far from the truth
I know what I am
a black sheep for your amusement
you think you know it all
but it isn't automatic
one more trip to the edge
before it's all for naught
I know you want it all
but it never quite works out that way
I know what I am
a black sheep for your amusement
you think you know it all
but it isn't automatic
once again I fall to pieces
for all that you never said
in an ocean of deceit
sinking further and further
