rorschach 03:30
started out with a list of rules made it so hard just to play it cool no need to make clear how you got here saysaysay what to do today haven’t figured out a perfect way never mind i think that we’ll be just fine when all that’s left of me is yr memory i hope that you will see i never meant any harm scatter plots so scattershot life goes on we connect the dots it could be my mind is playin’ tricks on me we spread out in a state of shock we trytrytry to run out the clock we were wrong cause time still moves along what have you done and what have you learned? what would you become if you returned?

oh are you anxious darlin? i’ll bring you down well i beg yr pardon yr already down what would happen if you let go and you left us down below? just imagine you had the chance and we let you take yr place oh are you overworked now? i’ll see you through you won’t wait yr turn now yr already through you gave me the keys but you told me not to drive you said i hate you so but yr glad that i’m alive you had a thousands fears but you don’t know what they mean none of them come true but you don’t know what they mean you get so upset that i won’t play along you said, ‘it’s natural but it all ends up so wrong’

get over it 04:14
look like a meteor, act like a star follow the trail to wherever you are yr a dollar store romeo, plastic bouquet we’ve been listenin, you got nothin to say with yr purple hands tied to the post you tell yrself it’s just the way that it goes with yr feet all tangled up in the chains one more thing that you cannot explain keep it moving why don’t ya yr always losing why don’t ya get over it a screwed up eye, a quivering lip a different day but the same old trip could you contend? well that depends what type of message are you trying to send? this isn’t practice, no it’s the real thing it doesn’t mean we know what’s happening you’ve had enough, ask for more the only way you can settle the score civilization was a nice idea, but nothing’s happened since have things gone along too long? well, i could be convinced feel the earth shift under yr feet

cologne 04:22
she’s got years until she must decide tea and oranges by the bedside she’s not influenced by the setting sun she won’t regret what she hasn’t done one to lust and one to wander no shelter to hide under you learn she’s someone’s daughter as she turns the wine to water so you try to de-fang her arrogance to impotence to anger she offers no absolution so don’t wait for resolution she will leave you nothing plans may change she knows that yr still there she know you’ll still be there one to wander one to lust you overrated trust and though you talk of solitude so quick to put down roots well myths of self-creation and airs above yr station but once you followed perfumed hands you never had a chance
5.
said goodbye to all my friends cause they wouldn’t come along their advice will never end cause i couldn’t prove them wrong forget a statement of intent if it won’t get me far appreciate the sentiment but i don’t know who you are what does it mean to empty yr head and study the words of the dead? what does it mean to follow the way if you don’t believe what you say? said hello to what comes next but i hoped for something more i didn’t know what to expect there’s so much that i ignored and even if i laid it out in a million perfect lines there’s sure to be a way to doubt if i followed the design maybe there’s something to it i plagiarized my younger self to remember how it felt
6.
let’s cause a commotion, let’s make a scene let’s keep it close, let’s keep it clean the opposition- disloyal and dismayed their perfect future’s been delayed renew yr focus, clarity’s restored still don’t know what came before if every statement is an attack we miss the chance to turn our backs oh what a privilege oh what a mockery here’s a distraction, a way to distill the separation- drive and will unwelcome allies, unwelcome goals lack of vision part for the whole let’s lose perspective vanish to a point let’s find a savior to anoint if we’re too quick to correct mistakes we’ll never know if we have what it takes i am older than the sun so when darkness covers everyone i know we’ve just begun we have no more need for space there’s no distance from my heart to yrs though i can’t see yr face now we know there’s always more so when life won’t go the way we planned it’s easy to ignore
7.
i didn’t mean, but it’s hard to look away i was looking at yr eyes, i swear i was looking at yr eyes tremble to show that there’s so much i don’t know but we’re taking much too long, this is really much too long i came to disappear no one comes on time i come on time sit next to me so that i can feel yr heat am i coming on too strong, oh i’m coming on too strong water and blood until we return to dust but we cannot turn away, no we will not turn away it’s probably too late as you start to walk away there might be a few words i could learn to say i can only imagine darlin as you leave me behind you have no interest in anything of mine another laugh another tear another way to disappear

coast 03:20
i’m not scared of you, i’ll take care of you but maybe you should be scared of me go on and pull hard, upset the old guard cause they don’t have anywhere to be sure they’ve got tactics, to keep it static but they don’t know how long it will take self-preservation and expectations more disappointment and more mistakes i’ve been runnin’ so long i can’t find the coast there’s so much that i want but i need you the most it’s no fun to be coy, it’s not hard to be thrilled (be wary of the things that they keep buyin you) it’s so fun to destroy it’s so hard to rebuild (you don’t want people to rely on you) wonder what’s next, forget the context there’s no way to see around the corner we don’t need empathy, just say it’s meant to be walk circles to secure the border react to rumbles, you’ll start to stumble while you worry it’s too fragile to break each new lesson, will keep us guessing More disappointment and more mistakes cleared away a mess to make a whole new mess every stumbling block keeps building to something always wanted a rest and you end up like the rest
9.
generation to generation wonders what will happen next it takes no time is creation recreation? we will see just what we get but this is not mine so inspired by each breath that leaves our lungs still so impressed by each word that leaves our tongues set it on fire now we’re struggling to explain sort through the wreckage to make sense of what remains we’ll keep losing voices because we talk too much and if we keep stroking egos we lose our sense of touch it’s not submission maybe reaction hope for silence nothing comes from patience but what’s unstoppable hope for silence
10.
you were always so sincere when you told me to hide slow dissolve but ever clear you took me for a ride is this the end? well let’s call it over we can leave it all behind now we begin to take it slower undeclared and undefined i was always certified clever and obscene but this life is no sacrifice when all the world is green what are the terms and conditions? the rules and regulations? we will never go to war i know you’d always win we don’t know what living’s for we might as well begin

last longer 04:41
take a picture as yr memory starts to fade was it something that you felt or was it something you made? re-read a book that once meant so much to me could not re-kindle what it once inspired in me the words were blurred i could not follow the plot in between the chapters, there’s so much i forgot avoid detection, til someone calls my bluff avoid perfection, such a burden, not enough hold the lecture, doesn’t matter what you’ve seen withhold conjecture, i’m not gonna come clean sang a song of sorrow, we sang a song of loss we sang with feeling, but no meaning came across the melody came easily, but the words were out of tune the rhythm came so naturally, but it all ended too soon it’s who we are it’s what we are
