All Along 04:19
The dust will settle when the winds die Maybe then you can decide The pavement ripped your jeans sliding And the blood runs down your side All Along You threw yourself into the thralls and laid there on the ground Straight through is quicker than the long way But it's hard to make it out All Along Not too sure what I thought would happen When we joined the ranks at hand Just don't step out of the group focus When the camera starts to pan All Along it’s come down to placing everything in a pile to incend keep low under the smoke line hold your breath and start to tread Yeah, it's hard to get this close and take a hit I know you'll try I know you'll come and try again But the scene that plays out clearly now Is what you've overcome. It's who you are. It's who you've always been. All Along

A message like a hammer Broke up system in the yard Yeah the glass was sure a mess No we didn't pas the test As she bled out by the water Looking down the Florida keys Was it gouged in your eye? Did you ever even try? Well Jim knew then. Well you taught us all we knew for what it's worth Resemblence goes to show us who belonged at birth I watched you claim the fold they were flailing around in droves Where they ever supposed to know? Man. No return to sender Mount you up in the living room Where you'll have the birds eye No you'll never miss a night And you'll know then. Well the grin was glossed once the good times came and went You're calling favors wondering who don't know you're spent We watched you light them up you were raining down like fire leaving everyone to admire was it the heat that turned you sour? Now the wound begin's to ooze And the dam starts to break loose You had everything to lose But under daisies is where you'll brood Under daisies is where you'll brood

Revelry 03:40
Slow and descend slip from the glow up ahead watch the shadows creep up on the street Blowing sideways and piling All scattered on the banks A deep red takes the canopy Waiting on the next phase A crack that runs the full length of the front wall A floorplan made up for ceremony Reaching up through the crevices Searching for some relief All that's left of your memory Paved over in concrete Over-coated and glistening Run the script and refrain At their core they will dissipate All you taught will remain Creeping up in the family Not sure what it will take While you soak in the revelry Nothing left from it's wake
4.
I.D.K. 02:53
It's like as if you never felt it Creeping up under your nose Take care Unless you aren't with it Warped straight to another zone It's always better In the first person With glimpses of the real thing You're left belly-up Until it drags you Under Decide If you're gonna wing it? All that's left to carry out It's always better In the first person With glimpses of the real thing You're left belly-up Don't let it drag you Under

Hiya 02:34
We're all alone nobody's coming Into the void I hear it calling All out of breath and now I'm hypnotized in you Say it again I must have missed it Something about we forced the exit Trying to keep up but their all behind us now Hiya la da di da - I'm spent Hiya la da di da - it's bent Hiya la da di da - full send There you go looking at me the same way you did that night Here I am looking right back at you plateau the high What's come undone? Stare at the sun They got the gun So now we run

Blue Violet 03:05
A sudden steepness We came upon near the base of the bridge Painted steel beams rise and tower overhead We look up in wonder at it Try not to slip and hug the ground As we tread along the edge with no other way around The blue-violet flower you gave me Soothe the rush From up above we feel the shaking The grind of the machine It's hard to know what's beneath this Kept so far from reach We've come so far with still so far to go So tell me where you've gone? A tinge of coolness Count all the layers through the slate The taste of vapor and mold above a beach of opened clams We reach down and feel the water Try not to slip and hold the bank As we lay in the shade draped beside the river's edge Lay me down and let me watch as you ascend
7.
Patience when You're toeing the ledge It will come back again Blowing through the ridge The brick will sway The calm at midday No cover no shade just a howling foray They'll never know that we were here
8.
Soak up feel your fingers turn into prunes Hear yells pulsing through the other room It seems it's hard to breathe Saw it off just before you get to the rot Tie it up try to get the blood to clot It seems nothing's free Here it comes passing overhead Too fast to trace a sillouette Grab a hold, you made your bed In the fridge there's only moldy bread To get along is always easier said than done Feel the warmth up ahead you start to run It seems that you can breathe Here it comes passing overhead Too fast to trace a sillouette Grab a hold, you made your bed Some things are better left unsaid

Porches 03:17
A frame set up so clearly Dim lit room, bleeding seams Through the door, an ending With a toast an ascending And through the haze they just kept walking by A carcinogen in it When you’re just too with it Looking for the exit or a way to persist And I don’t think they get your whole frame of mind Maybe come back later in due time Tokens for your youth and padding for the fall Started with a spring and ended in a crawl Surgical precision left to those who can sell Cauterize the wound but I can’t take the smell It cost the whole evening Busting all the fittings Make it back to the reception Answer all their dumb questions But from this high up it’s too hard to tell Come back down here - hold still - cool the swell All the weight in those eyes It’s hard to not polarize On your way to a new high “Don’t you get it” you said with a sigh
10.
Other Plane 03:27
A slow mist coats over A mild afternoon Through the clouds and windowpane A beam that sets the room You wait for some semblance Gets harder to move You look for a remnant to come A shape or a figure to soothe The dew of the morning Steam pours from your cup In a gust without warning You’re left to try and clean up
11.
Run your fingers through the curtains and seams Dark and numb Shaded from Join in grateful for the customary Going along is expected You came you went and left it As it all caves in Watch the dust shake loose through the gleam Doll you up before the pagentry Shiny and New Shining through In the mud you'll show your pedigree Going along is expected You came you went and left it As it all runs down Through the hole you left in me Our lead has strayed straight through the pleasantries Yielding No yielding Stars away keep from the present day Reeling You're reeling Shade your eyes with The top of the windshield Strobing glimpses Amidst the shifitng trees Can you make out what it means?
12.
Sway 04:36
It almost seems like candy in your teeth In a glass case you’ll start your decay Give your fortune take from them your fee Like a beam that combs through the trees I’m all ready completely to say That I’m all ready completely to sway As the years wash over this feat/face through the ruins of what's left of me I'm already completely to sway Now I'm already completely to stay burn through all the unearthly dismay As the cards fall freely-where they may
