Rain

Washout 02:21
I ride this full train alone Back to a box Four walls and silent phone Pining for pine and dreading the drone Of flat lines in an empty home I can't decide how nothing will sit in my mind I don't want to be alone but alone I dine At arms lengths and hair breaths Each one's closer to death I can't decide how nothing will sit in my mind I don't want to be alone but alone I dine, closer to death

Wallflower 03:26
So I took a trip away and I was counting down days Back through my mind I can escape but it's not the same As I rest in old cliches "you be you and I'll be me You be you and I'll be me" I guess that's okay Wrapped up in fantasies we stay, pulling teeth to shed again I'll wait for you all day, I'll wait for you all day A fly up on the wall that sees nothing at all I'll wait for you all day and I guess that's okay I know that when we're gone the world will carry on Nothing stops the setting sun Pour me into you through the pouring rain Heads titled back, drowning in our brains Too sick to pretend, too sick to pretend that nothing ends. I know that when we're gone the world will carry on Nothing stops the setting sun But maybe, just maybe Love will travel on, carried off in song But I could be wrong, I could be wrong Perhaps we're all forgotten when we're gone, under the setting sun So I'll hold you close just in case and I guess we'll be okay

Doubt 02:27
Inescapable, undeniable The ever looming question What if I'm wrong? Where will I go? Nowhere to hide from myself Where will I go? Infinite answers, infinite mistakes to make The absurdity of certainty Restless in questions with endless paths to take Restless in questions Am I here? Is this real?  Until the end, when there's nothing to say  Ash in the wind, a faded grey stale body in a box Dragged through the dirt by the ticking clock Infinite answers, infinite mistakes to make Restless in pieces Endless paths to the same fate Dragged through the dirt are the minds of men Dragged through the dirt again and again till the end Everything ends

Life Moves 02:41
I wish I could blame the year that took you from me Live a life in compartments but time doesn't agree Doesn't ask for directions, not once gets lost on the way Drive was just a verb to me, just a simple verb to me This borrowed life, on borrowed time No joy in treading on you No love from the strong No comfort in solitude No hope in song Drive was just a verb to me, just a simple verb to me My destination is out of reach Blinded by white on paper my pupils dilate No room for empty voices No love in hate No pity left for myself No time to waste Drive was just a verb to me but that was yesterday My words release me and I am free

Dandelion 02:28
Shedding old skin to grow new skin to live in I begin drawing straight lines between you and I to calculate time With love out loud caught in throat I bite my tongue till it hurts Shedding old skin to grow new skin to live in I'm swallowed up in words, I'm drowning in verbs that flood my mind I bury my face in your hands, my fingers ground down to dust With love out loud caught in my throat, my silver tongue turns to rust I hold your face in my hands, my fingers wrapped up in curls With love out loud caught in my throat I fold desire in words "Let's get away from here, let's shed the world" With love out loud caught in throat I bite my tongue till it hurts With love out loud caught in my throat I choke

Hypocrisy 02:43
Not trying to be anything, just trying be You mean nothing to me because you've got nothing to say  Bigger isn't better and I'm not bitter I should know, seen both sides and felt no better The truth is inside When you head out to be amused Stare across the room and into their eyes If you can see they don't believe in all that they do They deserve nothing from you It's not the numbers that sing a song All these thumbs get dragged along No love is pure when it's sold to you And you sell the love in all that you do, all that you do Your voice is not my problem It's the choice to make no difference  when everyone's listening and your message is misery No hope, no help, no philosophy Sometimes what people want isn't quite what they need The truth is inside It's not the heads that nod along It's the mind that makes a song No love is pure when it's sold to you And you sell the love in all that you do When will you realise the truth is inside?

Cloudbursts 02:51
Welcome to the garden Every flower grown in the ashes of dead stars Nature and its captives, all we see are their old photographs Just pin pricks and scars of men Maybe this wasn't all meant for them A wilderness wasted in your eyes The sky the birds and the trees This kind of beauty brings me to my knees But it's not enough for you so what's the world to do? When the world is you, unsatisfied What is this walk? Where are we going? I find beauty in not knowing The earth compels me and I"m free to die Burning at both ends in this brilliant light Mouth-breather, you see the world through plastic eyes From the bottom of a new low you turn to the sky, unsatisfied What is this walk? Where are we going? I find beauty in not knowing The earth compels me and I'm free to die I want to feel it all in a world deaf, dumb and blind Start living, stop living a lie Burning at both ends in the brilliant light I turn and say goodnight

Moral Decay 03:00
Enough, we've taken too much Thumbs full, opposing you, blocking out the flood More lost than can be replaced  On a dying planet you cling to faith when you should some shame. Who do you pray to for warmer weather, when nothing fits together? Alone, I hope for rain Afraid of everything, scared to be anything at all Ground down into grains, consumed by my rage  I quiver in these words; Embrace the shrinking cage, embrace the caving world We should have known better, when nothing got better We should have known better, should have shown some shame So much is lost, more than can live again On a dying planet you scream "give" You should show some shame All in the same race, under the same name You should be so sorry, you should be ashamed Embrace the shrinking cage, embrace the caving world Embrace the shrinking cage, you should show some shame

Folsom 02:04
I pack up these feelings and carry them home The book I'm reading, love notes tucked into the folds Never let me go I'm finding meanings when I should feel alone I won't pretend to feel at home I spell devotion in a hollow home I seek directions to parts unknown Never let me go With a gesture so small you remind me how it was before You say "I'm sorry, I know it's hard to remember  You're not alone anymore"
11.
So much has tainted now a constant's lost So much has shook me to the core and broken my trust I've got no regrets, just days I wish I could forget I beg each day these thoughts stay to set me free Today is Father's Day but not for me Growing new colours in your old eyes Newspaper grey to match the granite skyline Just one more song and then I'm done  Done asking why, done wasting time  Done with comfort in old lies This a cruel world but for now this world is mine How should I know where you'll go? Ripped apart and left wide open without the tearing of flesh Drained of everything and still denied a graceful death Teeth clenched I sit and spit and through the wheezing of my chest My thoughts repeat until I sleep "there's nothing left"
12.
Downpour 04:05
I am no better but I know better Roots in a box, dust on a case, it's all the same Now all reason lies in tethers Trapped under fickle thoughts of pleasure Lost in stares tearing hair through the hail Eternal rain, free from disease and mindless to pain No judgement, no end, no shame The river flows downstream, so it seems Surrounded by the deranged The hiss of the handsome struck dumb The hum from the straining brain Picking at parts and pieces, each drop more insane Enraged by the numbers that drip from digits dragged along in the rain Eternal rain that never ceases, free from disease and mindless to pain No judgement, no end just rain Eternal rain, free from disease and mindless to pain No judgement, no end, no shame Eternal rain, free from disease and mindless to pain No judgement, no end just rain
