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
2.
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
3.
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, 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
6.
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
7.
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
8.
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
9.
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
10.
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
