Suns down, but we can keep what we have found
Burning through the black light
Dead eyes, gotta keep them on the prize
Something more than alright
Head high, fly low
Hold tight, it’s a slow reaction
Take the long road
Hold tight, it’s a slow reaction
Turn down; you might break if it’s too loud
Sunburn from the moonlight
Breathe in, time to begin the begin
Flirting with the bullseye
Dancing with the lights out
Everybody gets out
Dancing with the lights out

I’ll drive away
I got what I deserved
I’ll fly away
Never to return
I was never really ready when we turned the page
But never did I think that it would reach this stage
As all the world fills up my eyes
I was never really ready for the serpent’s kiss
But it’s just what I expected in a place like this
It’s all the things that I despise
I’m learning that I’ve always been a hard luck case
But I just don’t think I’ve ever felt this out of place
As all the world fills up my eyes
And we can try to find our way under this dark grey pall
But we’re rolling with the thunder of a cattle call
As all the world fills up our eyes
And I never understood just how the bed got made
But now I recognize the heavy price we’ve paid
As all the world fills up my eyes
And I’ll drive away
I’ll fly away
I’ll drive away
I’ll fly away

I am divided
I’m torn in half
Split down the middle
There is no bridge to reach them
I’m undecided
Hole in the raft
Buried in riddles
There is no bridge to reach them
I’ve become
Less than one
Less than one
Sudden death
To the rest
It’s begun
I am one sided
Dimensionless
Won’t even try it
There is no bridge to reach them
I’m deaf and blind and
A fucking mess
Can’t even hide it
There is no bridge to reach them
I tried to fool them
Forgot the lie
Forgot my story
There is no bridge to reach them
I am divided
I’ve multiplied
I’m taking over
There is no bridge to reach them

Subtract Yourself
03:37

Sand on the run
Traced lines of conversation
We are just lucky that we knew you
Ghost on the lake
Stand by me while she whispers
Subtract yourself and lock the rest out
I stand here in defiance, but
I need you and you don’t need me
I’m at a disadvantage that
There’s two of you and one of me
Fell to the pawns
All subjects hail the shadows
We’d buy some light but they’re not sellin’
Let’s fall apart
Just like the way you shatter
Just like the way you bend to break them

The Tower
03:52

This tide will turn
The other way
One day we’ll learn
It’s alright
This power
Eats conversation
Deletes the sky
The tower
Its congregation
Off sharpening their knives
We’ll never surrender
We’re in a war
We’ll topple the tower
Forevermore
We have to go
The other way
Reverse the flow
And burn bright
This shadow
Lurks at your station
We won’t comply
In mono
Less complication
Less distance to the light

The ringing in my head
Says too much about you
I’ll move on instead
Better During
Empty Mileage
Wasted wind across the bow
Willing captive
Better During
The weight across my back
Say too much about you
Slipping through the cracks
Better During
Empty Mileage
Wasted wind across the bow
Willing captive
Better During

Your disintegration
Bathed in dissonance
Racing to forgotten
Haven’t seen them since
Last time we saw someday
We could find the time
This road is illusion
This road’s by design
Storm the tower
Hold on to them
It’s backwards
Can’t have it all
Faked our way through sunset
Shadows left behind
Spun out on the runway
Double crossed the line
Storm the tower
Hold on to them
It’s backwards
Can’t have it all
