bruised but not beaten face down in my bed, hope i sleep through the weekend still haven't eaten taking old pills just to feel like i'm breathin' light from the screen, voice of another, a mirror, a sheen say what i mean a hermit inert, injured angry, a fiend ash on the floor cause i cannot get up smoke in the window, a cloud on the pane faced with the weight of decision and now i cannot, no will not, accede to my fate an act of resistance, revolt in the real a violence of values, the rawest of deals desperate for distance, a vista reveal desires a prison, a rock up a hill let me be clear thought i needed the time space for reflection resetting my mind but the air’s turning sour there's flies in the cups there's plates on the floor and there's dust in the halls waitin and waiting the want getting loud a hunger like thunder the thoughts like a cloud hear them there buzzing like copters or planes a modern red baron, the ace of my aims

v1: taciturn bridges burn turn turn alone alone sounding board getting old nothings new nothings good took the fold sight is blurred, it's getting to you_ you ties in your eyes, can't cry won't tell don't know cups dry moving in place scene stays the same v2: chorus of chaos, i'm tryna sleep pulse of the city, a violent beat noise of the others is loud and we can't get the volume to diev but we finally tie up our feelings behind the sheets tie in the morning, it's kinda weak spilt all the coffee, Im tryna eat the traffic is awful, let's start the week powerful people on podcasts are saying the path to the money is to grind so I push all my family and friends to the corner and try to make something align but I can't shake the feeling that all of these heathens are pushing and pulling my mind so now I'm back at the crib and I can't rest my eyes bludgeoned by beats through end of the night black out the room but I can't be alone girlfriend is crying there on the phone coffee is pouring, I'm back to the forums, Something to show for my miserable life morning comes round and I'm back in the car turning in circles, its not just the drive bossman is saying I'm late on the sheets back to the bottom, it's not where I'd be if I grinded and grinded for more than the 8 trying for 14, can't sleep when I'm late trying for 18, i'll sleep when I'm dead making more money, i guess i'm ahead

v1: pills on the counter blankets on barely breathing lifeless and cold blue light, blinking body won't move guess you're gone phone waves dancing hours shift guess she's still up wet rims, sky's grey last time to see the sun eh uh eh uh ah v2: wind is colder lights are low the world just seems so empty now wedding bells, birthday spells life keeps on moving couldn't tell take the car hit the bars drinking so i don't feel alone fuck a stranger couldn't take it shameful kisses in the dark chorus2: if this cannot pass, you will will be done then again he came, sorrow song is sung v3/bridge: I didn't want this, it's not what you said it's not what the deal was I didn't come here for this I spend my whole life in pursuit of your vision and now that you're finished, I have no one to share it with, if it's torment you're after, or repentance, or grace I'll reject every offer just to spit in your face what the fuck were you thinking, do you kill just for fun or are you some kind of masochist, a boy with a gun?

v1: broken bottles sitting by the bay 5am, time to start the day got lost again, you wandering away, no say, guess you're trying to make a way through the seething view hope to see you soon allay the blues, you often seem to choose the alleyways, the closet, or the back over open streets, why do you do that like are you in, is it superficial? so, why are you going official with the other one, the one you take to shows no me, the one you take the clothes off every night and every day ok, wasn't even every day offnight, am i that one? the offnight backstreet the offnight backstreet the offnight ... offnight chorus: don't even think we're gonna make it to the end of the night divide v2: meet again i can smell the other day other lay, wear his shirt so he can say that he did you well, kiss and tell, make it swell -- well for a fact I know two can play that game lost faith, no shame I'll compete for it throw you down, make a show -- it's a stage you moan so my pride don't take a hit all alone when this play has reached its end solitude, don't pretend to understand hollow joy leaves a lone husk of a man as the woman goes on back to her man desperate enough for a thrill all cash, no card know the deal red light, no light -- the night is clear you and I both know why I'm here but

isn't it all you wanted to hear the light and the dark the hope and the fear isn't the fall a voice in your ear asking for love begging for years take to the yard stars on your lids abyss wants to call the fire is here burning it all a chance to repent pray to your god he isn’t here brightest of stars a satellite fake erased from the laws The fire is here

v1: flashing lights and the pull of night with a loser mindset lack of kindness i can't see the harbor from here the glass is foggy, unclear don't need a friend or a place to crash or another body i've got my body my eyes adjusting to the wall of redness a light bright, white, and clear ah, ah harder ah, ah just a little bit more CHORUS: can't get lost, cause i found a beacon know the cost to find it v2: just want your attention

about

I wanted to make a more experimental album, one that synthesizes a lot of the cool sounds coming from the underground. This album took a bit and was very emotionally taxing to make, but I'm glad that I saw it through.
