Another Day

Nervous glances toward the door
Maybe today’s the day that no one shows
And it’d be hard to blame them
Anywhere seems better than here
We’ve dug too deep to start all over
Another day finds me half awake
So what's one more promise never again
Limping toward inevitable surrender
Without ever knowing what I want
Deep breath
No one wins every hand
One good night can black out all of the red
Still it’s hard to blame them
It’s been years since I finished a page
So finish or get over it
I know, I know, I know
On the breeze, simple emotion
Slipping away like so many others before
Limping toward inevitable surrender
Without ever knowing what I want
Ears ringing before you even
Walk out the door
Your friends are getting older
This is the life you chose
There’s always tomorrow
To sleep for six hours or more
Who am I doing this for?
Another day finds me half awake
So what's one more promise never again
Limping toward inevitable surrender
Without ever knowing what I want

Maybe the only way out
Is through the sound
The next habit we choose
Will quiet the last one
Everyone knows it
Nobody cares
Too many miles away
Unbroken siren
On clouded aisles I sail
Suspended silence
In empty rooms I wake up to the light,
That sound again
Beyond these walls a phone must ringing
With each rock we turn
An abandoned song
Each light we see
Neither right or wrong
Everyone knows it
Nobody cares
Too many miles away
Unbroken siren
On clouded aisles I sail
Suspended silence
In empty rooms I wake up to the light,
That sound again
Beyond these walls a phone must ringing
How quickly I will forget
The one thing I’ve ever known
Lost full days meet vengeful nights
Pull my words away from me
Too many miles away
Unbroken siren
On clouded aisles I sail
Suspended silence
In empty rooms I wake up to the light,
that sound again
Beyond these walls a phone must ringing

A Moment's Notice
04:00
|

Home awake
Ladders unfurling
To clear the maze
Faster than honesty
Gone today
Only an echo left to hold my hand
Wandered away
On shifting sands I cannot stand up straight
I’ll get over it
Cracks on every window
Never you mind
Someday you’ll wake up stronger
Ready to look yourself in the eye
Bound away
Bending a figure eight from solid states
That stale in wait
On shifting plates I cannot stand up straight
I’ll get over it
Another love laid to rest
I’ll get over it
Cracks on every window
Never you mind
Someday you’ll wake up stronger
Ready to look yourself in the eye
Quicken your pace
At the sound of your name
It’s only an echo
A half life away
Cracks on every window
Never you mind
Someday you’ll wake up stronger
Ready to look yourself in the eye

Is this a wall we can climb
Between dreams we unweave to make time
It took so long to arrive
It’s time to leave again
And with each reverse, back of the line
Another endless fuse to ignite
And the scene’s rehearsed, practiced and rhymed
We all know the words in our sleep
Try not to think about anything
Scattering seeds all around
The time of your life is unraveling
It’s a strange world, nobody knows who you are
Is there a crow that can fly
Through the dreams too obscene to rewind
It took so long to arrive
It’s time to leave again
And with each reverse, back of the line
Feel the panic stir in your spine
And the scene’s rehearsed, practiced and rhymed
We all know the words in our sleep
Try not to to think about anything
Scattering seeds all around
The time of your life is unraveling
It’s a strange world, nobody knows who you are
Gold minds racing alone in the dark
Pile up the matches that never spark
Tallying ways to obscure
We lost our way
Try not to to think about anything
Scattering seeds all around
The time of your life is unraveling
It’s a strange world, nobody knows who you are

Far as the Eye Can See
03:34
|

The sun gives up and
stars come out in droves
He can’t make out every word
But he knows how this one goes
He hears himself insisting that he loves her
And for a moment even he believes
Plants a kiss upon her forehead
So neither one can see the other's eyes
‘Cause now he’s old enough to know the difference
Between love and whatever this is
Blue moonlight surrounds her
It’s who we are
Imagined lines in stars through pines
Far as the eye can see
He hopes she knows he never meant to hurt her
She’s infinitely more than he deserves
But now he’s old enough to know the difference
Between love and whatever this is

Hello my friend
Pleasure to meet you
I’m a nervous wreck
Counting the minutes
Til I’m home in the rosy glow
of dopamine and serotonin
In a way, you and me
Are lost in the same lonely sea
Drifting away from the rocks
Tangled in knots
I already forgot your name
If only for the night
Don’t let it in
Find some peace my friend
Counting all the stars
And nowhere to start
Who doesn't want to be more than they are
Going it alone
Trading days for bricks on a wall
On and on
Medicine
Tangled in whispers
A silent film
Blood in the water
A beast of our own design
Tearing through all the wires
We were kids, you and me
Lost in the waves
Holding ground
Breathing flames
For a cause, sharpening claws
A feast of what’s right in front of me
If only for the night
Don’t let it in
Find some peace my friend
Counting all the stars
And nowhere to start
Who doesn't want to be more than they are
Going it alone
Trading days for bricks on a wall
On and on
