I come at dawn
I come in peace
I cower from you all
I come in peace
I come in peace
I come in peace
Come in peace
I promise sir
I'll fall in
I promise sir
I'll fall in line
I'll follow your word
I'll fall in line
I'll fall in line
I'll fall in line
Fall in line
I'll fall in line
I'll fall in line
Fall in line

Reface
04:23
|

You never really did care
You never really were fair
I never really knew your face
But definitely knew our place
When we fall, we'll fall all the same
When we fall, you'll fall just like the rest of us
Reface all the undone tiles.
Burn all the overarching files.
It's happening in front of your eyes.
Take it home and take it away now
Not one second wasted on what's right
It's all coming down come morning time
It's all coming down come morning time
We never really had faith, and we believed you, yet
Open our eyes to a new page
One where you lead this rage
To ward us all, make us safe
Sail us through into a new age
To ward us all, make us safe
Sail us through into a new age

(Hateful) Embraces
03:44
|

We don't mind
To have you here
To have you here
You don't bother us.
You don't bother us.
Who'd speak out
Against the might
At midnight
Who'd take a stand?
Without a light
At the end of the line
About you here
We don't care about you here
You don't matter for us
Don't bother us
I'll pluck my eyes out.
To please you
To appease you
I'll cut my face.
To hear you
To see you once more
What more can I do?
To make my screams come through
What more could I say
Every word moves you away
Sluggish at birth
I'm trying
Rejected, no worth
I'm hiding in

Home
04:01
|
|||
Drying of my tear ducts
Throwing away all my life
I wanted to be okay
That's all
Crying at my little box
Knowing all there is to care about
I am there, I am there
Nowhere
I am here,
I wanted to be
whole
I am here, I'm
Diseased
I am born
I am gone in an instant
Without a warning
I am here
I am home
I've been waiting for years
For it all to end
I've been here
Waiting
I am gasping at the brink of it all.
I am here
I am home

Cornered
04:15
|

Pent up anger, grief
Push away your dreams
Put away your mind
It's just a blip in time
Pent up anger, rage
Don't way into the dark
Don't turn me your back
You know you've left your mark
But if all these other people are around
What do you need me for
Scale the hills you dread
There's no shame in being afraid
But your inaction calls for a prize
An eternal surprise
But if all these other creatures are around
I'm stowed away in a box
But if all these other creatures are around
I'm stowed away in a rush
Wake up all alone.
You need to change your tone
Foaming at the teeth
Can't see what you've done wrong
But if all my life leads to this moment
Is this my last stand-off
But if all my life leads to this moment
Is this where I get off
Dull your senses, find yourself a lover
Suit yourself and move yourself to cover
Grab a flag, douse it, let it smoulder
You're cornered

Cactus Field
04:16
|

In the poor face
In the apartments
It's the cornerstone of
This tenseness
I cannot keep
I cannot keep away from it
Sprinkle it with evidence
And to follow would be backwards.
Or to go forward with madness
We do not slip
We cannot slip away from this
Horse-drawn carriage
Overcome these snow-capped mountains.
Neatly drawn, tightly built for us
And to be sure, just to be sure
Who were the culprits
Who were the reason
All the figures are appointed.
All the envy flowing through vineyards
Root them out now
Root them all out
So we can make way
For our new poison
We found out
We found out
We ignored it and
then we counted it out
Because it feels good
'Cause it feels good
I know it feels
Just like it should
Filtering out all that you've said
And we'll dance upon the ruins of what we've left
To the blue horizon, look at the horizon
The sun will rise, and
Warm us up ahead
You're a nuisance to our prisms.
And our way of life through our schisms
Lashing out at yourself, inconsistent
You're the face I saw in the distance
I found out
I found out
I ignored you and then
I scraped you off
Because it felt good
'Cause it felt good
"I know you'd feel just like I would."
I found out
I found out
I ignored you and then
I scraped you off
Because it felt good
'Cause it felt good
"I know you'd feel just like I would."
Huh
Huh

Armada (I Overheard You)
04:23
|
|||
The displeasure that this brings to me
Can't be measured by your light
And to forgo all my fantasies
At the cost of your real-life
I've been face-to-face with the fleets I dread
And they made me all too weak
So I drowned myself in this black sleep
that seems to shut your preening beaks
When I'm a monkey on the street
I'm becoming petrified
When I'm the turning tide, beseeched
To proclaim you justified
When I entertain you with my being
I will become rectified
Here to tell you and to promptly tease
To bring you to the other side
I overheard you with yourself tonight
Your tribal bickering was loud
You made no effort to hide or conceal
The thoughts that keep you up at night
I overheard you with yourself tonight
Your brand-new bickering was loud
You made no effort to hide or conceal
The thoughts that keep you up at night
Thoughts that keep you up at night
Overheard you with yourself tonight
Your tribal bickering was loud
You made no effort to hide or conceal
The thoughts that keep you up at night
I overheard you with yourself tonight
Your brand-new bickering was loud
You made no effort to hide or conceal
The thoughts that keep you up at night
Thoughts that keep you up at night,
uh oh
When I'm a monkey on the street
I'm becoming petrified

Elephants in the Room
05:55

You could sit there all day
Wondering what to do
You'd be really good at it too
You'd make it in life
I only watch in amazement
I only see but I cannot move
We could make it
Easier
For all of us
We choose not to
So we complain all around
I only wonder what we could be
I only wonder why we could not be
You would sit there all day
You would be amazing at that

High in the Hills of Old
04:56

High in the hills of old
There sits a man in flesh and bone
Don't ask him for his help
When you do, he turns to stone
He'll guard your heart, and he'll mend
Check your pulse with his hand
Love you til the end of your days
But only if you both pretend
So, don't bother.
Don't cage yourself until the end
So, don't bother
Don't hate the game, just blame the man
High in the hills of old
There sits a man in flesh and bone
Don't ask him for his help
When you do, you won't get gold
So, don't bother.
Flounder, and you'll sink the quicksand.
So, don't bother.
Don't love the game; just love the man.
So, don't bother.
Don't cage yourself until the end
So, don't bother
Don't love the game; just love the man

California is a distant dream
Canopies/Canapé and cocktails in
Don't stick out like a sore thumb
You'll be fair if you're not as dumb
Can you tip me the fine?
Can you tip
Can you tip
And then you call the sirens.
And then you call the sirens.
At the the top of the pines,
I can guarantee you there's a golden spire
There's a golden spire
At the the top of the pines,
I can guarantee that there's a golden spire
There's a golden spire
The chiming of the bells
I don't know why you take so much offence
So much offence
And the metal on bands
We'll take all we can get
Spoil all their plans
Spoil all their plans
We were gilded to be
Naked men
When the calls go out
No words come back
When the lines are down
Let's stay on track
When the lights are on
Remember the black
When the lights are on
Keep the dark away
We'll lay bare all we have
We will make you repent
Absolve us of our sins
We shall rise on our feet
We'll leave no gap for defeat
We will rule once again
When the dust settles down
We will rise once again
We don't care what it takes
We don't care what it takes
We were gilded to be
Naked men
We don't feel the need
To pretend
When the calls go out and
No words come back
When the lines are down
Let's stay on track.
This is the last
Squirming of your past
That we've swept away
That we've not let pass
And your actions speak
Only for themselves
There's no right or wrong
Only evil lasts
We were gilded to be
Naked men
We don't feel the need
To pretend
When the walls crumble down
We'll be there to stay.
When the lights are on
We Keep the dark away.

In Wonderland
03:39
|

Moving out of the way
I fell into the rabbit's hole
It took me to a place
I could not have dreamt of
Absolute silence deafens absolutely.
In a burst of emotions
In the mess you make
One mistake is all it will take
One more second that you can't wait
I'll be down here in Wonderland
I'll be here waiting to make amends.
I'll be down here in Wonderland
I'll be here waiting till the end.

Noticeboard Despair
03:22
|

I once told myself
Only every night
That this was not okay
It was not alright
I can't get up.
I would interrupt
My thought process
Of which I had
Already had enough
Why
Must I torment
Myself and everyone
Who loved me
Why
Must I torment
All the friends I never had
All the faces I never met
Wait in the doorstep
Looking inside
Looking empty
Looking around
I can't parse my feelings
Anymore (more)
Anymore (more)
(More)
(More)

Caught in the Pause
06:54
|
|||
You'd take your time
It'd break you
You'd leave your
Past lives behind you
But it won't go through
Your head yet
You know you separate.
You know you
Separate
Yourself
But it's not made a place
In my head
yet
We've only tried to do good.
But we're always caught in the pause
We've only tried to do good
Won't ever take a leap through
The doors you close to shut in
Or keep the rest out
Out
You know you
Evaporate
You know you evaporate
In your own hell
The fires you stoke
Burn you
We've only tried to be good.
But we seem to be caught in the pause
I've only tried to be good
Self-hatred drives and leads.
Your eyes all shine like beads
They're all so good to me
But I can't get to see
I can't get to see
I can't get to see 'cause
I'm blinded by your mischief.
We've only tried to do good.
But we're always caught in the pause
We've only tried to do good
But we're always caught in the pause
We're always caught in the pause.
We're always caught in the pause
We're always caught in the pause
We're always caught in the pause
(We've only tried to do good
But we're always caught in the pause
We've only tried to do good
But seem to be caught in the pause)
(always caught in the pause
We're always caught in the pause)
We're always caught in the pause.

Afterwards
04:55
|
|||
After the end of all things
There comes a silence of the means
Amidst the calm, there's a raging storm
There is a friendship to be sown
And after the end, there comes a cold
It summons us back to where it all began
A new take on our lives to end all the horror
Do you even follow
And after the end, there comes a silence
Hard to ignore, hard to disguise (After the morning, it's dark)
After your life, there comes a silence
Nothing to see, Nothing to harm
Only you can reach it
Only you can stop
Only you could mean it
Only you know how
