Blissed Out
04:13

This was the scene
Of a conversation far more serene
I can’t stop scrolling
The news just keeps unrolling
These words that I devour
They darken every hour
I give them too much power
Take this screen away from me
And take me by the hand
You can make me believe
You can make me forget
You can make me feel
We’re gonna be alright
You can make me believe
you can make me forget
You can make me feel
Just for the night
This weighted shroud
Casting fear on all of us like a cloud
It doesn’t go with our decor
Toss it aside
Kick it right off the bed
While we reach for something pure
You can make me believe
You can make me forget
You can make me feel
We’re gonna be alright
You can make me believe
you can make me forget
You can make me feel
Just for the night
Make sure I miss out on what's new
I just want to be blissed out with you

Crown Shyness
03:41
|
|||
We're out here throwing shade upon
The ground that we call home
Can't quite put our heads
enough together
To not be alone
Parallel Pangean edges
Leave room for the spirit in between
Blinding shafts of space
Touch down and conjure green
Crown shyness
Despite our lofty highness
We retain a yours and mine-ness
That denies us

Headcount
02:50
|
|||
There’s safety in numbers
Here’s the headcount:
One. One. And another one.
I’m the only one
I’m turning inside out
I’ve got myself surrounded
Captive and defended
At the hands of none
Don’t take it away, don’t take it away
This army of one
Don’t take it away, don’t take it away
My solitary shelter
What’s done is done
Darkened by my own cast shadow
I can’t see that my eyes are closed
See the fortress turning inward
My bright and burnished walls
Don’t take it away, don’t take it away
This crucial delusion
Don’t take it away, don’t take it away
My solitary shelter
What’s done is done

Louis Kahn
03:17
|
|||
Grid of glass forever closed
Pressing back the still air
All the empty atriums
Shining dust suspended there.
Concrete, Louis Kahn
Someone left the lights on
Hidden wires oxidized
Untripped for so long
Future ruins all around
Future ruins are now
Form over function
Beautiful prison
Clean and majestic from afar
Come close, stroke the erosion
Iron bruises, timeless scars
Concrete, Louis Kahn
Monoliths against the blue
Balanced on the patient ground
Curving down and through
Future ruins all around
Future ruins are now

Loved and Lost
04:26
|
|||
Loved and lost,
I don't see you anymore
What was the cost?
Still darkening my door
Too high a price to pay
To look me in the eye and say
The words...
You push into me
like you own the place
You seem like a stranger
but I know your face
You tell me that you're still mine
It's like a foreign movie
but I know the lines
What do you call it?
That melancholy
The smiling eyes
of a memory

Humble and Good
04:22
|
|||
We line up with our hands out
No windows, just projections
The drugs will take you under
I shield my skin from the injections
And all the faces are reflections
And we all are dressed the same
You’re stifled when you wonder
Why so many answer to one name
Humble and Good
I’ll trade this void for anguish
In this peace I yearn for violence
If it means there’s something out there
beyond this endless smiling silence
Humble and good

Truth Serum
03:15
|
|||
Drink it down
I know it's sour
You'll have forgotten
within the hour
Just close your eyes
Disclose your lies
Tell me all about it
Free yourself and shout it
Take it back. I've changed my mind
How could I know what I would find
If I told my truth
It's just that I love you

Rend the Garments
04:11
|
|||
The bright glow of your white halo
Is lit by a secret flame
And you long for absolution
But what comes is hot Ecstatic shame
Darken the room and find your way to me
I feel the fire and I can hear you breathe
My eyes adjust and now I know
Now I know
We tell less than we ever show
Rend the garments
They never even mattered
Let's strip it all away
Nothing left to telegraph or flatter
Tear it off and let the tatters burn
Maybe someday I'll finally learn
What you see
Is never what you get
Darken the room and find your way to me
I feel the fire and I can hear you breathe
My eyes adjust and now I know
Now I know

Slice of Life
03:32
|
|||
White lights in the mirror
Red lights in your eyes
My destination is clearer
Yours will be a surprise
I’ll take you deep
We’re going dark
Navigation is useless
We follow my heart
Slice of Life
Sometimes I think I don’t know you
I guess we’re gonna find out
I wonder what do I owe you
But that’s not what it’s about
This solitary night
The silhouettes of the trees
It’s a slice of life
And I’m weak in the knees

Take It Slow
02:37
|
|||
I tried so hard to overcome
All the harm I’ve done
Turn towards the sun
And begin the day
But there’s just no way
To forget the night
So dark and long
I was so wrong
Who I do I think I am
Who do you think you are
I mean who fucking knows
We’ve already come this far
There’s not much further to go
Be kind and take it slow
Be kind and take it slow
