Slowing Down 05:31
Slowing down, lost my breath somehow A feeble force punches through the morning clouds I wanna get out, I wanna get out, of this town, I wanna get out I’m sick of being useless, I don’t wanna fall apart Living on a fever of senseless lust and stars Slowing down, a girl I know is found She’s been there sitting on a train Waiting for the future and trying to arrange Her way out, she can’t hear a sound All she really knows is she wants to get out She wants to get out, of this town, she wants get out I’m sick of being useless, I don’t wanna fall apart Living on a fever of senseless lust and stars I don’t wanna let down, I don’t wanna close you out So make believe that you and I will see each other around I don’t wanna let down, I don’t wanna close you out So put down your phone and love me like you love yourself.. Try to implode, try to explode, fade it out again..

Frank 02:40
A man named Frank was lost he says, “I can’t pretend that the world is whole and that I’m over things” A man named Frank was lost so he moved to the hills where the people are few and far from the holes in his heart Fragments from a lonely year, driving away searching for all we can hear, coming out of the fog And granite tops that chip and fade, a hazardous fan spins in peculiar ways, over the stove top A man named Frank was lost he says, “I gotta get home to the shelter I’ve grown and the silence of one” A man named Frank was lost then he lost his mind, he says it’s hard to find a way out from peace of mind

Amends 03:38
Holdin' ample time to be swollen, praise your unfit mind, wasting time in odd despair That’s how we were found in the downtown, waiting on your lies, bolted eyes and rock filled pants Is it time to make amends? I’m deranged and under kept We don’t want a world of lost flesh, they just want a way to balance it Every other day’s like on the grind, I just want a girl that’s(whose) lost her mind Thinking on a cold damp day and waiting for the time to send things on In the hours of your stalling I’ve been undermined and criticized for things not there Oddly days have turned to nothing, waiting on the time and that’s just fine but I’m not there Is it time to waste a stare on a day that wasn’t fair? We don’t want a world of lost flesh, they just want a way to balance it Every other day’s like a ghost town, streets empty no one’s around Did they ever make it far west and will they ever learn to send things on?..

Fast Forward 01:15
Its not my time to make pretend, callous eyes are over stretched and I cannot repair them. I won’t wait for the justified and I won’t waste my little time to settle in the suburbs. So fast forward so we can feel success So fast forward no longer in distress.. No longer in distress..
5.
Cast me away, the universal frost is here time to clear the way So I took a stroll that day and found me a hidden bay Tucked behind a hill, I’m going back tomorrow You’ll never understand unless you come down tomorrow away from your space Away from the darkened days The skies will rain down in colors of pink and gold washing away the old Cast me away, the universal frost is here time to excavate The hours are wounded and full, but I won’t leave this school Metaphorical and mine, I’m going back tomorrow No one to love so call me again wasting my stars on no one’s expense Universal frost thawing in spring no winter left to hide our mistakes From all the above and all that we lost So give me your lust and we’ll end what’s done..

Silent speech, it cost me nothing, I won’t wait for them To call me up and break the silence that I made when I woke up Get me out of here, I hate these signs and stones Get me out of here, ordinary song Aimless walks take me nowhere, I won’t wander less because I Can’t relate to anyone I know, losing touch with myself Machiavellian, so follow me down to the depths of the world Learning how to be a criminal, so follow me down to the depths of the world Listen the longing's out I won’t get down I can’t miss you no more..

Vanity 04:43
Vanity she was born on the 12th, the winter winds slowly decay the holidays and wealth She told me once she never wanted to be a woman but she loved herself like she loved her reigns over the world Baby its hard to stop loving you I bleed for you and this Vanity she never gave me herself Banking on the stealth I’ve created in my short sided mind I’ll learn it all some night Sweeping up the dust in this idle space where children live and god only knows I’ve gone slow Sweeping up the particles of a broken vase that the children broke And I only know I’ve lost home Vanity she was born on the 12th, repetitious grades are a like a stage I’ve failed to build She told me often that she was a loner like I didn’t already know That was her way to stay alone I've lost home.. My Vanity never left me alone..

Margery 02:28
Margery, we can’t be free She told me once that I was overworked and losing all I had She was right and I was glad Margery, she ate the sun, she spit it back out on the sidewalk where we run How was I supposed to know that she was on an inner fall It’ll never be the same without Margery in my days Cynical in the space where I lay And no one understands because they all live a way typical to the way we fade The way we fade into grey Margery, we cant be free She told me once that I was overqualified for my life So I polished off my visit with the sky In good time, Margery and I will praise our lives Separated in a vision we derived

Empty Phase 04:38
That’s the life I wanted, peaceful lies that hide me away I suppose that we’re alone in fragments Early calls from hateful laws that balance, I don’t even want to go to work today Building lying down, catch a wave in modest solace and let down Waiting on trial I missed so be gone and be tasteful in your bliss Everybody’s overwhelmed with their days and their lifetime so be sure That your mind is right and sharp and useful in this time That’s the life I wanted, waking eyes of chocolate brown Juxtapose your heroes on the carpet Fever minds slaving time on practice, I don’t even wanna play the money song Born into today, born into a way unfold your arms from your disdain She loves the world today, she told me how she wanted more than just an empty phase

Listen the longing's out I won’t get down I can’t miss you no more..

Garden 03:13
Back from the garden where I learned to speak I don’t suppose that you wanted to meet me there With ribbons in your hair, it won’t be the same if you’re down and sustain your despair, it’s not fair Back from the Sunday when I went away We’re in a space that was marked and arranged by the waste Of every other kid and every other lover They’re all on a mountain of luck, I’ve got me a bed side fuss Climbing out of this town I’ve had enough Give me a bill to catch this train into the hills Where I can run away, and I can find the day, that’s all I ever wanted, if you just needed to know And I won’t pretend, I won’t pretend, no more The space in between is all I’ve seen and all I’ll ever know If I don’t get out of this town..
