These Ruins

She'll hold the artifact aloft
She'll brush it off
Beneath the dust of centuries
She'll see the keys
She'll see the ending that we chose
These ruins will testify
All our shame preserved beneath the nascent sea
How long are we here tonight?
I can't shake the thought that we could be a while, yet
They'll find the stadiums' remains
Expensive graves
They'll wonder how we passed our time
But will they find that we were fading for so long?
These ruins will testify
All our shame preserved beneath the nascent sea
How long are we here tonight?
I can't shake the thought that we could be a while, yet
If you don't feel it, is it real?
If you can't see it, is it real?

To Whom It May Concern,
I'm reaching out with interest
In the Associate Producer position
Here's me in a nutshell:
It's mango juice, insomnia, and pondering the human condition
My thoughts are overcooked and my music's where I put 'em
It's dope, it doesn't matter who listens
Here's me in a nutshell:
It's escoveitch and Oregon and all that Murakami has written
'Cause hand on heart
'Cause hand on heart I love
'Cause hand on heart I love to lose
To Whom It May Concern,
I'm reaching out with interest
In the Associate Producer position
My thoughts are overcooked in the Moleskine where I put 'em
It's dope, it doesn't matter who reads it
Is my value just what I produce?
We're not following all the same rules
And hand on heart I lose

Northwest Night
03:35
|
|||
Steal from the store
Sunday, just show up
As we eat your food for thought
Then on Sunday just show up
For the ground floor astronaut
Cheat on the score
Sunday just show up
We'll defile the offering box
And that was on a Northwest night so soaking wet
And that was when I hit the brakes with glacier legs
And that was when I bent the door beyond repair
And that was when I brushed the pine out of her hair
And that was when I offered thanks to all who'd care
And that was when I had no wheels to get nowhere

Once in a While

Why not do what you want?
Why not say what you mean?
Why not try?
Let your mistakes wash out
You want to rage at the gods?
Climb the pantheon walls
Give them what for
It's cool, I'll drive
It's fine to lose your mind
Once in a while
It's fine
It's ok
I won't say one word
Why return to before?
Take a match to the score
Why not fly?
Let your mistakes drift off
The grace is everlasting
It's ok
I won't say
You want to rage at the gods?
Climb the pantheon walls
Give them what for
It's cool, I'll drive
It's fine to lose your mind
Once in a while
Alright?

It's So Us
02:30
|

I will never get over
Whatever we are
It's so us
Climb all over each other
To keep what we've got
It's so us

Zeroes

They will sacrifice us to their king
Although they don't dare speak its name
It all falls apart if they say
They won't save us even if we beg
Even if we could be saved
It all falls apart if they say
Behind their eyes it's just
Nothing
Stay alert, don't underestimate
Imagine the strength that it takes
To be burning and not even care
A covenant to feel
Nothing
I stood quiet
They monetized my skeleton
Try to take fire
You get the raptor and rock, no Heracles
Why is this on my tab?
They're the ones that broke it
I stood quiet
The world said
Nothing

Clique
01:36
|
|||
It was outrageous
A single clique and I was gone
Women and children
Save yourselves
I'm taking aim no matter what
Moral fiber in a wired basement
Tell each other we're alone, face it
Fingers tired from the clout chasing
Fame waits in the shadows
Coward, face me

For You, Dear
03:19
|
|||
Visualize for me, Dear, a storm
Cauterized
For you, Dear, a song
Fantasize with you just this once
Worth a try
For you, Dear, a song
Waves of white, the pull and the churn
If we survive,
For you, Dear, a song
In the sea between continents
One is cold, one warm
Build a bridge from the middle out
Both the shores in fog
Understand singularity
As a last disguise
Couldn't see you outside of me
But it's easier now

Wolf Threads

Trouble in uniform
Trouble with camouflage dreams
Lost and misguided ones
Red in the eyes for a cardboard cutout of me
Just let us get home
To curl and implode
Trouble in uniform
Trouble with cellophane skin
The power to vanish us
Holstered beside every cardboard cutout of him
Just let us get home
To curl and implode

Blind Enough
03:26
|

Are you thinking me a message?
Are you hoping for the best for me?
Are you standing at the tunnel mouth
Blowing kisses from across the sea?
Why did you run when the cops came?
You seem so different, so articulate
Built the ship to sail you home
I just figured you'd miss me by now
Do yourself a favor, leave off
We're closed
We're toast
We'll show 'em all
Why did you run when the cops came?
Ok, I get it but don't paint me with it
Why did you run when the cops came?
I'm blind enough that I see both sides of this
Wasn't scared to walk alone
I just figured you'd miss me by now

Dark Souls

Everyone's doing more than me, but
None of us are doing a damn thing
It's hard to measure up
Is this the whole thing winding down?
Where are we winding up?
It's hard to measure up
We get the things that we ask for
Planet-sized things that you drop on me
How can we fight something that's so big?
Broken sword hilt and my wits only
Ocean approaches and we're dozing
Lords forgive us
Will it still hurt if we're caught slowly?
We want to be a force for good
It's hard to give up on
It's hard to get back to
We're all we ever were
I would love to project a new face
It's hard to measure up
In the fire we found our names,
In the water we lost them again
It's hard to measure up
What is this thing that you left loaded?
Pulled out the pin but we can't throw it
We want to be a force for good
It's hard to give up on
It's hard to get back to
We're all we ever were
