Ebb & Flow

I've been giving up alright
I've been giving up this time
I've been giving up alright
I've been giving up this time
I've been giving up on life
The ebb & flow pulls us under
Where will we go? No one wonders

Stowaway

Ha ha crow the sailors
Shove him off to the side
The sea will swallow him deep
Dark water filled with plight
Say something
Hold on may we discuss please?
Have mercy show civility
Though have let you down see
My actions a necessity
Say something
Who’s the one who failed to find a savior
Stowaway
HA HA crow the masses
Shut him out a final time
Tie him down as our repayment
Time has come for him to fly

Fur

So cold
This poison's slow
I'll stray
Until our ending fades
Wait, hide, hold tight
Strain, fight, survive
Wait, hide, hold tight
Strain, fight, all right

Running to Waste...
02:02
|
|||
Rushing around
Bustle about
Routines abound
Come on down
Reach to define
Status in time
Possessions rely
On lies
To wake and to rise
To repeat to kill time
To never try
We all end underground
Running to waste
What’s making me stable

Overlook
02:16
|
|||
Take my hand you fool
Keeps me safe tonight
With the back and forth we go around around
Overlooking time
Makes it all worth while
All we’ve ever known goes down down down
Are you right? are you right?
I fall on my knees, beg and plead oh well
Yet another bout
Reeling more without
Always holding close we go down down down
Are you right? are you right?
i fall on my knees, beg and plead oh well

Lazarus

Come on
Lay your head down
Be free
With new meaning
Gone away
In dreams
Lay your head down
Come on
Let these words out
Gone free
With new meaning
Don’t! Wait!
This is real
Let us know
What you’re up against
Time can heal
What you’re up against
Time can heal....
Come on...

Again
04:46
|
|||
Do you run?
Break on out?
Again
Show your bones
Head on down
Again
Take in all that’s real, it’s too close
Burden passed surreal, at full force
With every word you feel, almost
Knowing anything that’s real is back home
Get your head up
Take them down
Throw your hands up
Dance around

Almost Decided
02:35
|
|||
All my decisions are arriving
Almost
Been no delusions
I’ve been striving
So close
All we want is to breathe
Been so deceiving
Much derision
Too cold
Losing all reason
Heart is treason
No hope
Been no illusion
I can drown it
Oh no......
You’re holding out again
As you head for the road

Don't Fret
05:58
|
|||
Such as our worry, began
Everyday as we sit and wait
All that they know, a taste
Be afraid, don’t be afraid
So don’t you fret, there are better days, awaiting we
Won’t go, to the edge, that I have foreseen
Breaking, she went fast, strayed
She’d salivate, intimidate, all as she’d know
Fades, be afraid, don’t be afraid
So don’t you fret, there are better days, awaiting we
Won’t go, to the edge, that I have foreseen
So we’ll fight
Taking our time, away
Everyday, oh we’ll sit and wait
All as we’d known, ashamed
Be afraid, don’t be afraid

Aurora
05:12
|
|||
The eyes that met you
Crash into pieces numb
All around lay silence
Rushing through my blood
But listless may be my old soul
The streets laugh and scream grasping hold
Hello sweet sickness
I peer through nothing now
Feed me one more time
The warm embrace surrounds
But listless may be my old soul
The streets laugh and scream grasping hold
Come what may
We crawl about so low
Made to endure what you've seen
We crawl about so low
A failure inconceived
We crawl about so low
The lights bring on instant dreams
We crawl about so low
