For the Taking 02:33
lyrics
buy track
A loss of taste 'cause the dish was too sweet Immobility from the lack of two feet A sense of lungs no longer functioning At one with everything through punctured skin Trials of capitalizations of pain Words carved out, their skins stuffed and displayed Exchanged my spine for extrospection Blessed in thousand colors with a bitter lesson You tried to take it all away

Ignition 03:30
lyrics
buy track
My heads are screaming in a moment's peace Instinctive movements shall not hinder our caprice Through debris, made to be the breathing anchor that must curl And without worries I would like to see you twirl Radiance is gone again, with only sleep to grow Horizons soothed by a carpet of indigo In a spark, from a shriek, once blissful fingerprints ignite Watch it all in a blaze, watch it all as you burn bright I cannot see your arms, can't protect your crown The glow is crawling up, while my pride wears down If I had a chance to catch the light again Would the world abandon me, for my somber hands? Mesmerized, by surprise, filling eyes with soot Left behind to rewind the damage by the root

News to Nobody 03:50
lyrics
buy track
Sitting all alone in a house Catastrophe sought out to arouse Every day, one more way To act like everything's okay Looking out for something acting wrong Paranoia always going strong Words are spread in my head, Have to think of what I said What could have done, to prevent your putrid touch of mold? Shedding innocence What the world demands is not for you to take ahold By belligerence I know your pavement is of gold Lacking dilligence Weeding out the gardens plastic life Thinking not of further abstract strife Taking part without heart To gain a sense of being smart Looking dead into a living glass Let the rot begin to amass Take a chance, have a glance In a voyeuristic trance What could have done, to prevent your putrid touch of mold? Shedding innocence What the world demands is not for you to take ahold By belligerence I know your pavement is of gold Wrapped up in arrogance In a twisted need to be liberating Force-fed with your words must be devastating I don't think you should sit here contemplating If you had the choice, we'd be suffocating What could have done, to prevent your putrid touch of mold? Shedding innocence What the world demands is not for you to take ahold By belligerence I know your pavement is of gold But not at your expense

The Promise of an End 05:00
lyrics
buy track
It begins with promise of an end Constants from which we depend Impermanent It's this story all must learn from scratch Memories that will not match From which we detach Movement informs of movement in forms (Matter's like an hourglass except flatter) The hourglass shattered It's a silence, it's a gap inside Mouths that open up wide Solidified Thus like sun-dials, in our shadows one On the face of it, Unfixed, in motion Movement informs of movement in forms (Matter's like an hourglass but flatter) The hourglass shattered A sun-dial masked in mildew in random patterns
