Lies 02:13
Decide to reveal this Falsehoods are all we will ever find Despite that I try to believe you Try but you'll just lie anyway And I can't see you move inside I hope you'll be faithful Hope is not just a waste These lies bind us together Blind us to the stormy weather And I can't see you move inside I can't deceive you if you lie How can I trust you anymore?

Wanting to move is like Lifting all the water you ever drank And it's not easy finding something worthwhile to say That's something you'd say Or is it just over now? All of these words are fine There's meaning in there that you haven't heard And it's not easy finding something contrite to say That's something you'd say Or is it just over now? Where is that you're hiding out? Wear the clothes that you'd always hoped Would be an easy road to when it's over If I could do, do just one thing I'd be already home 'Cause it's over Play the role so they'll never know These lies are all you wrote It's almost over Damn the play Please tell me Do you have anything to say? 'Cause I'll be waiting Don't you have anything to say? I'll be waiting

Time is Just 04:10
Who says that you need a partner Leave someone and live forever Things don't seem to be so bad when Looking at the bright side Don't take this the wrong way But I think I changed my mind And I don't feel like going on and on Just thinking I'm the same Finding the answer Is losing The meaning of Changes you Need all the time The constant is Not knowing Why Seems you're waiting for the time When to your knees forever brings you Self-fulfilling prophecies That never realized Thinking that I found the answer Feeling pretty good about my Life has changed before I know I'm acting out dramatically When you think You know It's time It's beautiful and feels quite true We share a place In all our hearts It's cynical And quite untrue Time is just your enemy Time's got naught to spare for me I'll bet you know how it needs to be You fret me so Don't let it go I am your disease I will be the best that you receive If only...

"Out back," She said "There's bottles and bottles to drain But there's been trouble today." The patrons nod and mutter, "Try the door and see." Scan the room, There's no door there for me. "Where did I come in?" "It's a big show, and it's not cathartic. We know it's a bit entropic." "Save me a seat." "It's been far too long for us to know our way back home." "Get me a drink." "Sure kid, it's easy, we can fix you up, it's no big thing. Just let me see your eyes. I'll hide them safe and sound. Don't make a sound." "We're all sober here now, it don't how much we drink." "Just let me see your eyes. I'll hide them safe and sound." The next round's on me."

And so it goes Our consciousness that falls Out forward and forceful Still we fall and fade Our lives will never end unconsciously repentant But that's all I'll know 'Cause lately the sun isn't waiting so long And everything keeps happening In pieces and particles that I cannot perceive Or so it seems And so it goes The lust and power Madness falls to prose I wrote and You did know that The little things The diamond rings can crush your soul And now you are down on your knees Don't you bow There's no need My time's come forward My time is over As we fall through space One last time It's my time I'll be fine But I don't want to go And this is how our story's told As we fall into the great unknown One part fear One part skeptical And as our bodies wave goodbye We resign as we fade into the sky Oh please open your eyes And you said Tonight Just let there be one more night You said I just don't want to disappear

The Witless 05:00
Steel yourself Against their bold insanity In silence after sighs Unworthy of attention Seek a whole new strategy Your laughter always gave you away In time you'll understand What I meant when I said I'm always afraid Too many moments given Choices This or that mistake Oh, to be so thoughtless An open faced activity Pushed away intensely Will not be coming back Simple truth suppressed Our words create emptiness I know it's for the best Oh, to be so conscious Honesty's for the witless Now Leave Everything Now Take what you want and just leave Leave me with everything
