Quiet Monster

merciful smiling king
gathered wits against the grain
bottomed out with two minutes left of fame
if you wrote the will that brought you here
bowing down whole
who'd have thought it'd come undone?
and seeing how...
wait, i haven't made up my minds yet
said today, "they'll never bring back that blotter"
kept at arm's length
with little to offer here
made my claim, "who'd have thought it'd come undone?"
and seeing how
i need it to go down
for myself to feel right
i need it to go down
for myself to feel right

Manage

that's not what i would call a joke
more a bona fide hoax
you better not look too close
at the things you have the most
never enough, no no
never enough, no no
we weren't connected to the storm
and as we need the better part of bad dreams
so much disease i can't see
all our heroes gonna die
when we start to dance in the feeling
it just felt, well, more than a feeling
standing unprepared is your reward
now you're unable to call for
what's that mean? disease, child, seed?
grounding me
we never managed to agree
what's that mean? disease, child, seed?
grounding me
grounding me

Light Nectar

sipping on the light nectar
sipping like it wasn't fool proof
sitting here like i want to
give a shit like i'm apt to do
sitting in the late sunshine
feel a twinge of guilt for you
i can help you help yourself
become a carrier too
giving causes and solutions
but i'm a hypocrite times two
let me bury these bodies
then we'll figure out just what to do
sipping on light nectar
what's the difference where the body bags pile up?
sipping on light nectar
was it drugs? was it rules? is it cool to be true?
are you here? are you true? is it strange to be you?

Famous People
03:54
|
|||
don't put your faith in famous people
aren't they the face of all that's evil?
tired of their art, tired of their struggles
looking for the day when all of this crumbles
they're coming for your head
they're coming
will it be the case if i get the deal then?
is it up to me to navigate the dead ends?
either built up with dread or reluctant to start
another million little deaths til the last one stops
stop looking to the skies
i know we invented them
a second look over but i'm not sure we remember when
they were ending with a bang

Out Of Your Way
04:42
|
|||
i was summoned to wake you
someone to make you
prove my life and bare witness to
one stop shop should be enough to get it done
bend around a little
'til the walls are caving in
a little bit of sound
and you'll want to give in
either way you cut it
it is ultra vision
out of your way and we can progress
take these words of high hope
take them on higher
high enough to brave the heavens
and one wrong turn
and you might come tumbling down
bend around a little
'til the walls are caving in
a little bit of sound
and you'll want to give in
either way you cut it
it is ultra vision
out of your way and we can progress

Eye
06:35
|

you never meant to have control
of your body and your soul
you never received the basics
holed up down in the basement
what's it that we say?
we must all remain the same
i never meant to be so much
both out of style, out of touch
now the way things are going
i'm not sure we'll find a clear way back
with the eyes of the patient
showing no signs of the attack
wasting our power
wasting our power's where we're at
now it's calling up the mirrors
calling up the mirrors of our past
now the way to get it's the way to solve it
we must all remain the same
now the way things are going
i'm not sure we'll find a clear way back
with the eyes of the patient
showing no signs of the attack
wasting our power
wasting our power's where we're at
now it's calling up the mirrors
calling up the mirrors of our past

Sold Loyalty
04:59

he wants to be free
she wants to be seen
i don't care either way
makes you wanna scream
he stares guiltily
she laughs at everything
makes you wanna scream

Painting The Fire On
05:44

if they want you, they'll find you
they'll part the seas to connect you
they'll promise, you'll say yes
and everything will fall into place
how about peace now?
they'll move you and shake you
they'll try their hardest to break you
more money, less context
and that'll barely be enough
when the mood is set
when the mood is set they close in
i can't tell if it's hopeful but a little light comes seeping in
and i can't tell if it's change
but maybe i'll be the first to say yes

Arrival
08:11
|
|||
from the moment i arrived
knew it'd be a good ride
scandal on my soul?
i wouldn't even know
i can ease into the mold
more than i get it
i wanna lose faith
and who'd have thought
it'd mess around?
little tragedy and an echo
our thoughts and prayers
are with you all
more than i get it
i wanna lose faith
and who'd have thought
it'd mess around?
are we coming down?
you get in your way, don't you?
i can't tell you who to disprove
tell you what is not true
such is life
but i might show you a better way
show you better days
take a ride
you get in your way, don't you?
high and mighty sitting on the throne
what have you got to show?
show it to me
peace can wait yet another day
put that gun away for us all
once you see my horizon
giving you the secret code
take it to the high road
who will keep the roads clear?
