faces in the sun calling your name the skys breath it moves through your veins honest and thoughtful and shining so true theyre sending for you so absent a wandering fool my friend made a machine that read peoples thoughts one day it got dropped it was used to abuse and chaos im looking for a light its not over there eyes in the chair are watching nothing

says she needs direction while reversing all the innocence your heartbeat stops and coldly stares it needs respect to begin again there are two strings in the universe they make a web but face each other first im bleeding out in 3D and love the face that lives in the ceiling give me something to believe in love is one thing to believe in ive been having trouble speaking words that left me with no reason and im having trouble dreaming words written backwards with no meaning just give me one thing to believe in another plague to meet demands reflect the sky and mirror all the plants shell dance and make you pray to god her thoughts are crude and mock the plane theyre on guess just where the day goes guess which way your blood flows knowingly blood is running backwards you are the lonely sum until the ground starts burning up give something to believe in love is one thing to believe in and its just one thing to believe in honey just give me one thing to believe in honey

i put down the reins so i could see all my future plans and yes they seemed so fucking unplanned and currently people will explain what their songs mean and people will explain all of the things that run hot through their veins without hesitating out of element and out of touch you dont know what they mean oh you notice much and on a separate plane may lie a truth while clinging to the reins keeps you tongue and tooth its on a gray line not in a separate hue its calling names now but they wont stick to you it seems to take time not telling what to do curses just dissipate arrows just float through you i can finally say what i mean

Weak & Dazed 04:14
if time is everlasting you could swim into the broke ocean floor and end up somewhere unknown but what else can we say ive never seen the future but ill bet it tries to stay in the dark just waiting to make its mark woe oh oh always feeling weak & dazed oh oh oh god only knows wont pay oh oh oh hard to feel another way ill try to make it better its a wave that never splits in the tide its living somewhere inside but what else can i say if time is only fading you will sink under the moments between and end up somewhere unseen throw some chains away ill try to make it home and stand up on my own two plastic legs stare into the eyes the windows to inside what makes us feel alive im gonna make it home but no one gets used to something new without some time

no one wants to go there a dimly lit enclosure you only see a silhouette but still can feel a cold regret theres nothing left to break the spell a bomb inside a wishing well but variable wishes variable wishes the feeling cant escape him it lives inside where doubts can swim a circle in a broken box stupid thoughts and angel talk theres nothing left to break the spell a bomb inside a wishing well but variable wishes variable wishes and our love is gonna fade away soon into the universe into a bottomless sea i never wanna face my fears but ill keep a diary because i want you to see theres no light over there no ones ever been there id like to take some friends there a serpent goes and cuts the sky beneath a dying star theres nothing left to break the spell a bomb inside a wishing well and variable wishes variable wishes and our love is gonna fade away soon into the universe into a bottomless sea i never wanna face my fears but ill keep a diary so that youll know what i mean

G I V S 06:02
pitch black their eyes dont play leave them where they stay her skins so bright and pale with heartache kept in jail i need your perfect face i dont deserve your space but will you hold me tight please keep me in your thoughts and remind yourself to stop falling backwards those evils hurt so much believe you me they dont have to follow you poor thing hold my hand ill keep you safe from them with touch so soft and sweet and lips that strain to speak im leaving but please dont cry i dont deserve your time but will you hold me tight please keep me in your thoughts and remind yourself to stop falling backwards those evils hurt so much believe you me they dont have to follow forever

Charm 05:34
i took a joy ride through eden and wished that i couldve stayed without a justification i made my way despite their fruitless nature distractions do hold a charm and they can be so appealing when your heart feels torn so many reasons and doubts found im getting lost in the tide those little moments of clarity followed by ignorant pride is there a grace that you fell from could it be waiting for me i just dont care anymore cant seem to swim back upstream i guess its human nature to always question the self sometimes its so overwhelming when you wont lend any help the power over the senses it always seems to run dry i neednt be so cynical to always ask why :)

its not that i mind spending time on something new its just that i feel a darkness that was never true my mind stays a pool confusion swims inside its walls id like to realize authenticity when plastic calls core stays broken as the sun goes down and all those lovers they just really wanna know who goes there and whose coming back my wrist looks like its gonna part in waves but lady talks to me and says never ever go there or youre not coming back its call is so clear because its what weve come to expect im missing my dear i think its time to get the check im losing my touch is what my head tells me to say it is such a chore to pretend it doesnt hold a sway

buckle up and bite your tongue these things just arent much fun its gonna be a lonely one ever just wondering i gotta friend who can stop time he said hes come to find some things just mean nothing at a loss for words and thoughts some things should be forgotten another grain just drifts in time only remembering were gonna have to cut your hand a blood oath to understand that some things just mean nothing pinkish glow from an open door i wonder what that rooms for images in a broken frame taking their time to fade checked off of the shopping list some people will tell you this that some things mean everything and some things mean nothing

the sun is up my head is going down from an artisan wasteland after bleeding the town ollie said hes out and im taking up time if id been honest and thoughtful i wouldnt have arrived its got your name its got your address and your number too might have to lay low might need an angel just to pull you through im scared again man the son awaiting another way from an artisan wasteland seems to catch in the sway but man i really gotta know is it giving up or going with the flow deep down i know theres a reason that im feeling this pull ive got fears again what happened to my confidence again man

Cathedral 04:13
a nurse keeps calling my name these walls are falling away im scared to know whats next time sleeping on an edge

automate the mind was talking on its own it said i dont have a place to call home and i really dont want to be alone conversely it likes to torment its chooser says all i really need is the future then everything will be as it should be jaded eyes with light that losing its color and sound thats drowning its brother poor silence couldnt speak for another moments lost they seem to fade in the rear view but never really leave from near you is it tangible to get them to steer you suddenly the storm dissipated in skyline with doubts and fears dissolving in sunshine old judgements couldnt hinder the new mind it was falling awake
