Script
03:48
|
|

Money’s running low
Desperation flows
Hunger starts to show
And the rent is due
Wallet’s running light
Notes and coins lose life
When lucky stars realign
I’ll know the worst is through
And the script is learned
Then it flips and turns
And changes again
99% of my time is spent missing sleep
The rest is less than I care to keep
I’ve never been more anxious
And until my eyes close, I’ll just keep getting older
Blinking takes its toll
When the light’s too cold
Terraform my soul
So that it can feel
If the ceiling spoke
With a fact or joke
I’d wait till it broke
To see if it was real
And the script is burned
Each breath is earned
By the trials of men
99% of my time is spent missing weeks
I’m sure there’s more that I’m supposed to be
Time’s never been more precious
And until my eyes close, I’ll just keep getting older
It’s not insomnia, I’m just not here

Cascade
03:56
|
|

Clouds shout in a cascade
Death spoke, he let hope stay
Home is not coated in filigree
Remember me
Reacquainting myself
With the notion of an elsewhere day
There’s something so serene
About the swelling of the sunrays
Flow, flow to me for love
Sew the seams of dreams that I’ve pulled off
The ziggurat will fall
Our faiths will crush us all
Clouds shout in a cascade
Death spoke, he let hope stay
The river sold love to the sea
Saying “remember me”
Reacquainting myself
With the notion of an elsewhere day
There’s something so serene
About the swelling of the sunrays
Go where you feel you must
The stars are just floating dust
The earth is not a perfect sphere
And I’m off-balance here
Flow, flow to me for love
Sew the seams of dreams that I’ve pulled off
The ziggurat will fall
Our faiths will crush us all
(There’s something so serene about the swelling of the sunrays)

Trajectory
02:29
|
|
||
My trajectory is solemn
My love is almost going
A January blip, a momentary slip
My opacity is muddy
See right through my body
There’s nothing I would hide from the girl who keeps me alive
Let me catch my breath to say
Roll the match back my way
The flame isn’t out yet, so stay my love
The hour is between us
Now the world has seen us
The deed has been done, now we wait for the sun
To end this night that’s nearly gone
Our love’s not diminished
I know that we’re not finished
Just keep us secret now; we’ll make it through somehow
Let me catch my breath to say
Roll the match back my way
The flame isn’t out yet, so stay my love

Nuance
04:57
|
|

The paper’s print, stunning glimpse of memories
He sees no face and has no trace of fallacies
And now he’s left a note of goodbyes
The earth will turn, and they’ll forget him in a while
A choice is firm in the nuance of a smile
He’ll be back on the waves of heavy sighs
Arguing with arguments
Organising ornaments
Amalgamation of inspirations show him the dents
That he wears now
The light of moon, this clair-de-lune that is his muse
The flawless tune, hummed to the rhythm of her shoes
She gives him all he needs to carry on
Time’s away, and every day rolls into one
That’s life, you say? Then tell me one thing that he’s done
To make him feel like he doesn’t belong?
Arguing with arguments
Organising ornaments
Amalgamation of inspirations show him the dents
That he wears now

Ebow

The layover was delayed, lover
While I struggled to find the solution
One foot behind the other
Find the benefits of devolution

Chrysalis
05:04
|
|
||
Orion, watch over me
Hover where my lover sleeps
Shine as though your light’s all there is
That’s how I picture happiness
You’re how I picture happiness
Look up; remember all that you see
And when you’re home, describe to me
How all the stars are hanging high
Just like the colours in your eyes
The colours resting in your eyes
You are the catalyst for my chrysalis
Motivation is eluding me
And the days drag by so sullenly
A blink can take forever to do
With nothing there to open to
There’s nothing there to open to
You are the catalyst for my chrysalis

Winds
03:48
|
|
||
The move made me adaptive
But I’m not elastic
I’m a half built house
Made from bricks of doubts
Fair winds and following seas
Sail me through the bay, lead me to me
Winds have tackled me
Towards where I’m meant to be
But I will continue
The world just wants to know what’s in you
I wouldn’t change you for all the stars
Past Mercury, past Mars
I understand but that doesn’t mean I tolerate
A thousand reflected suns would struggle to permeate me
I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest
And you can keep the rest
And I say oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Cacophony
04:09
|
|
||
Settle into your ways darling
I’ll keep right beside you, running, keeping up
Do what you are dreaming of
I see your eyes are gleaming, don’t sleep it off
I just want to hear you sing
Relieve the cacophony
I can hold you up and swim
Through the tides to where you wanna be
Everybody talks in silence
Friends align through their trial-and-error ways
But we were always parallel
Centre of caramel, we are tearaways
From the same page
I just want to hear you sing
Relieve the cacophony
I can hold you up and swim
Through the tides to where you wanna be
Where the waves crash over the crag
I will defend you till my feet drag
Ah
I just want to hear you sing
Relieve the cacophony
I can hold you up and swim
Through the tides to where you wanna be

Bones
03:46
|
|

The city doesn’t sleep
It just revolves, resets and then repeats
Waterlogged grass
Shimmer as the light becomes the mass
Does the North Star know it’s only gas?
New home; just a version of the old home
Old bones with the pressure of a lonely goal
Separate me
From this future stained in mediocrity
The light will refract
But do my eyes still see through my own cracks?
Why am I still wary of attack?
New home; just a version of the old home
Old bones with the pressure of a lonely goal
New home; just a version of the old home
Old bones with the pressure of a lonely goal
The world still stands while I’m waiting at a stand still
The night’s now light but the shadows still prepare to kill
New home; just a version of the old home
Old bones with the pressure of a lonely goal

Saccharine
03:35
|
|
||
Here are your worries – take a good long look
See how they wear? See how they tear like the binding of a book
Write them in the sand as the tide is flooding in
Let them be unformed by the storm that you’re avoiding
Speculate your remedies with saccharine
Evacuate and journey from the state you’re in
Your existence is the depth of me
The abyss, the chasm in which I recede
Light drifts through the atmosphere
To land upon you as the rain runs clear
Speculate your remedies with saccharine
Evacuate and journey from the state you’re in

Placebo
03:51
|
|
||
Tessellate; it’s your reformed placebo
Diary of always is calling the shots while it shows
The green under the mountain snow in your snow-globe
Ruminate; we’re living in a fish bowl
Magpie minds attract to souls
Clinically average scores in the polls
