Why, why What have I done, the porcelain bodies One, one Where do I sign, that one still haunts me He hides it, he hides it He made me dig, to hide his kill Heat rises, heat rises The world moves on, but they stay still To cross this loss It was the heart that beat so loud, The dirt, it makes no sound It was the heart that beat so loud Only time will tell Where, where Where the sun will set, the porcelain bodies Why, why Only time will tell, the world still haunts me Wain, wain Sigh, hold my side Rain, rain Pride, down my lies

Why waste it With no reserve Bound by a choice that was made for a toy Used for play For so much more, Bound by a hand of a childish young boy We pass the time, oh I see your eyes We’re sitting by your side for life Fight the wars, storm the shores, Over and over again, don’t get to fly Free the world, find the pearls, Soldiers disguised as kin Which side, what else When it calls you, lifted the stars Which side, what else When does the work stop, over the world Which side, what else Look at the floors, protecting the coin

Kaleidoscope 01:35
When you hide, who you are Who’s that hurt, press your heart To stop, what you start, Who’s that hurt, press your heart What you start, Who’s that hurt, press your heart Push your eyes, with your thumbs Pluck your teeth, with your tongue Plug your eyes, with your thumbs Pluck your teeth, with your tongue Dress the part, press your heart No ties

Remorsel 02:53
Does it work, did it break? I don’t feel bad, no mistake All my life, feeling so upset from the tossing and turning Will this be life, or will it subside? Breathing and eating and allies, How I Ruptured, raptured Red tape, red tape, realize When the wind hits your lips it’s so cold, How I

Like Leaves 02:29
We wait for the blast, last gasp Burning, be the cast Wind, sins perished in a flash In the dark, near the edge We’re the part, we’re the parts In the wind, In our sins, In our cells, We take it all When they come, you pay all Last, grasp, pass Burning, be the ash, Winds, sins Perished away in a flash Gripping the fence, stuck through the heat We’ll all meet the miles, Leaves blow by, let it be still Leaves blow by, let it be still Seeing yourself on the other side has never looked so good Leaves blow by, let it be still Leaves blow by, let it be still

True to self, it turned to black It fell right off, don’t hold your breath No truth, no tell, all this time I wait for the warmth When it comes up, The clouds rebirth Wash up on a bank, Back to the cold no mistake, All this time, these fruits I will take Till I wash down and drown in the lake True to self, it turned black It fell right off, it’s hard to say Been living in someone’s shoes

When the dam breaks Where will it flow Pull back the wool, lend me your wings Requisite, let go Lend a hand, all I hide Where the sand lets into the cold Where the norm wear blankets of filth Fish in the net, flesh on the pole Trapped in this hole When the dam breaks Where will it flow Pull back the wool, lend me your wings Blankets of filth, spend

Flashbulb 03:16
It struck me quick, with all might When it calls you, will you pick up? Lasting imprint, less it might When it calls you, will you pick up? There’s nothing in my soul No flash, no snap, less in control No flash, no damn place at home Just an idea Prepare, to witness this hole It struck me quick, with all might When it calls you, will you pick up? Lasting imprint, less it might It’s only mine to say There’s nothing in my soul No flash, no snap, less in control Let’s see boy coy Less in control, What does she hold? Less to be whole

Pressure, Strength, we all need more Pressure, Rest, sleep from home Pressure, Blessed, we all need more We all need rest We all detest We all fall down only to get depressed We all lose sleep We all grow weak We all get burnt and beat and lifted back up to do it again It stays in our hearts, for all of our lives We slouch the call, it speaks, we all It stays in our hearts, for all of our lives We hear, despise, we can’t It stays in our hearts We need rest We detest We fall down and reset We lose sleep We grow weak We get burnt, we get beat We retreat

Strafe 04:31
Realized now that to be afraid of this death, staring at with animal terror, meant to be afraid of life. Fear of dying justified a limitless attachment to what is alive. We walked home, no violence, no sirens, they kept on but we were all dead inside. The next day, the birds sang, the rebirth, we rejoiced in pain. Cross your t’s, dot your i’s But in disguise What you see, don’t decide You’ll be just fine Until there’s nothing left Love, the cost of life is love The curse of time draws blood Life, the cost is love The curse of time draws blood We sold all our signs Lifted up, letting up no They had not lived enough no, Never had lived at all We walked home, no violence, no sirens We were a lie The next day the birds sang, rejoice We were a lie
