Fata Morgana

Is this who we are or is it filling in the gaps of what we want to be?
Old scenery doesn’t feel like anything anymore
An object to desire, falling for it like a mirage you can’t shake
Racing to red lights,
Why do we fight the process?
When the finish line is never what we thought it would be
Grown so good at adjusting the lens
That’s our only sin
To count on
Why do we hide?
It’s not what we have it’s what we choose to ignore
Every thought pushed back,
It’s like looking at a door that will never open
Is this who we are or is it filling in the gaps of what we want to be?
Old scenery doesn’t feel like anything anymore
An object to desire, falling for it like a mirage you can’t shake
Was it a waste of time can’t be the judge of me
Dashes on the wall
It’s not you, that I known from the start
It was someone else
A person I create, there’s a blueprint for everyday
Wish it would wash away
Why do we hide?
It’s not what we have it’s what we choose to ignore
Every thought pushed back,
It’s like looking at a door that will never open

Lost Kids

This reality is all mine
Just like yours and everybody else’s
Love when we can awe in it all for a moment
Forget about that old white picket fence
When i look around i see lost kids
Trying to get out and play
“Now ready? ready auntie O? This one moves the most, that's why i use it. Ready? Set. Go.
See? It went around the loopy de loop and fell down.
I’m going to make the water fall. i’m going to make the waterfall really big!”
Tending to a garden that wasn’t mine
Clinging on to the edge of a dress trim
Aim to feel it all for exactly what it is
A flower just imitates the sun
When i look around i see lost kids
Trying to get out and say
Make senses of shapes
Powerlines that fell during the storm
Hear the sounds echoing further than the zephir
“And the son, he was my brother’s age, had an airplane. Come out here on the ice, landed the airplane, took Bud and I for a ride, my friend. It was my first airplane ride. I was born in 1918.
She got me a date with her. I went to pick her up that night, she told me she had two dates but i got there first, she always told me that.”

wrote a letter but never sent it to you
Take it back to where we were left behind for the better
What would she do if she knew everything?
Occupy the moment it’s not for them to see
Boredom comes to those who wait for a fix to awaken the senses
It might have changed bury the names of people i’ve been
From the spring that you constantly pull from
Into the narrow holding tank, the point comes cross
There’s no mystery anymore
Soft burn
Unspoken for

Better believe the attempts at stitching up the seams
Isn’t all that bad, as you once proclaimed it to be
Bittersweet, take the subtle hint as to be dragged
Through a wreckage self imposed
All that was known, hesitant tongues that speak
It has been a week of manic lack of sleep
And all that you made me see is that i am blind
Of what is right in front of me
How can we be sure of anything?
It’s not what endures with the seeds that sow are
Kept locked away on those dreary days
Revealing what is possible now
To the point of breaking me down
You have me but do i have you?
Nervous energy

Different Meaning

You ask if I’m okay like I should be
Now i'm not just like that
To fill in space unclaimed it’s the imbalance we both feel
Looking outside im great actually should have been my response
There's magic in it fading away
Don’t let me go down the wrong path again
See how far we had to come for it to begin
You won't know how great this could be
If you don’t give it a chance
Your words are repeated in my mind
Until they have different meaning
Packing bags with heavy hope I don’t lean
Too far for a feeling
So I try to make it less than what It is
Pull me out when looking inside
Perfectly flawed when you lie to yourself
Lets not hold our breath
Don’t let me go down the wrong path again
See how far we had to come for it to begin
You won't know how great this could be
If you don’t give it a chance
Your words are repeated in my mind
Until they have different meaning X2
Just let me know or let me go
Just let me know or let me go

Far From a Flame
05:14

I’m starting to think you are my weakness
I won’t let anyone else in
That’s not a choice I can make
tonight she’s mine, all mine
Uncoil the knots that were tied so tight
Catalyst for change is felt beyond first glances
It can be spelled out for her, every time
She’s the voice in my dreams tonight
Far from a flame I always play it safe
Just out of their reach is where she likes to be
I won’t go where I’m not wanted
Who’s going to be the one who breaks through these divides we create?
How can something be so clear and heavy?
Passengers on a fast orbit, waiting for the moon to shift the tides yet again because
She’s the voice in my dreams tonight
Far from a flame I always play it safe
No one gets burned when we’re working on our posture I do the same things that she does I’m no different
Let’s not point the blame
Beyond first glances it can be spelled out for her every time

Say

We don’t know each other well
But we can change that anytime we want
The room is being stretched
Like taffy that paints your tongue red
They say I block things out
Half there expanding in the summer air
Heavy, dulled to cycled thoughts
I can pick my own wounds thank you very much
Say that you mean it
Just say what you want
Show that need me
Just say, just say anything
Say
We’ve gone this far
Tell yourself it wasn’t for nothing
Must have been through a lot
Cus it doesn’t hurt as bad
Weigh your heart against a feather
Can we make it through?
Say that you mean it
Just say what you want
Show that need me
Just say, just say anything
Say

Divinity in Signs
04:21
|

Mind fills in the blank when let so close
There are so many different kinds of roles
That we take on when we don't know the weight
Of our own actions before it's too late
Melting from the periphery
You’re in them again
Focused straight ahead there must be something
That i am missing in this equation of the ways
To subside
Blurring all the lines between what is clear
Put our right foot forward so we care about
The ways to collide
Immersed in all that we only allow
Hearts open in time to see through the fog
Divinity in signs i can’t pretend that everything is nothing
Like i once did
It’s too late for us
That’s okay with me
Is that okay with you?
Is that okay with you? X4

Agency/Automation

Four walls and a door, that is who is least exposed
Self medicating, high off our own supply
Submission is the crime, horse pills and dollar signs
Idealize to devalue splitting between all forms
The knife has two sharp ends, in a constant state of defense
Never ending echo into oblivion
I don’t want to see what’s on the TV screen
Kissing the cheek of death brings us closer to our heaven
It’s our power that we are giving away
Overstimulated apathy
Desensitized
Consuming so we pray
Over what was never gone

Simply Living
05:47

Can you take me to the stars you once promised me?
They aren’t all black or white
When you stop taking yourself so seriously you will fall
Fumbling around in the dark
Recognize the disguises that you built over years, unmasked the charades that were entertained
Open is not the default that is all that I have to confess
Force of habit is strong, drawing circles around me
Overlooking to see it through
Simply living is creating something new
Followed inclinations
Harvested to make this jewel
See all the pixels they contribute to a bigger picture that we are all apart of
I see myself in you
We carry the torch for one another
Open is not the default, that is all that I have to confess
Force of habit is strong, drawing circles around me
Overlooking to see it through
On a whim of decisions
Not a victim of
Circumstances
That I put myself in
Feeling it all out
What is the purpose
Of this compulsion
Feeling it all out
Maybe this is something you won’t forget with all these ways to relate
We aren’t ever truly alone
Try not to assume every reaction
how much can I tell myself?
Overloaded from signals that they can decipher
Refractions in the blurry droplets
Hold the truth
If that is what you’re after

Lay Your Head
05:30
|
|||
|
Everytime that I look down
The compass spins so out of control
There is comfort in those bedroom eyes
Vessels for space, to wonder is to be alive
Let there be nothing
To make something new
Can we sit with the unknown
Let there be nothing
Lay your head down for another night
To relay all that you've seen in the waking life has
Gone away
little films set to hyper speed they feel drawn out
Juxtaposed in a kingdom that was hardly ever known
Walls, they were just built to fall
When is it enough to call it quits? I want to know
To be alone with you I cannot breathe in
Delicately crafted are illusions
Sorted and preserved in frame
Projections cover your skin
I never learned how to swim through this
Watching you sparks a flame
It makes me want to try
Meet each other where we stand
Propelled by the attraction of what must be taught
Let there be nothing
Let there be something
Let there be nothing
To make something new
Can we sit with the unknown
Let there be nothing
To make something new
Lay your head down for another night
