What Just Happened?

[verse a]
Flash, bang lose track of who you are
Saturate and hope you aren’t wrong
If heaven doesn’t look like what you had imagined
Maybe you should stay earthbound
Rushing into action
Last second reactions
Why must this always be so hard?
[chorus]
A spark can cause to amplify a silent mind
What just happened?
Suddenly it’s do or die
Caught by surprise
What just happened?
[verse b]
When there’s no time left to relax
The hourglass has turned
And the shadows on the wall begin to swoon
When you are losing control
Can’t get to sleep you just toss and turn
Do you feel your sanity fracture
[chorus]
A spark can cause to amplify a silent mind
What just happened?
Suddenly it’s do or die
Caught by surprise
What just happened?
[interlude]
[verse c]
Cynical agitation
Paranoid application
Don’t overreact or you’ll only slip up
Tell me can you find your breathe
Don’t fall for the intimidation
[chorus]
A spark can cause to amplify a silent mind
What just happened?
Suddenly it’s do or die
Caught by surprise
What just happened?

[verse a]
Call on me later
Can’t you see I’m not the man I thought I was
Carry my head below my shoulders
I have my patience
But I’ve lost my sense of self along the way
Nobodies coming to save you
[chorus]
Buried between the rock
A very important lesson
Will you be caught dead waiting
Or arm yourself against impending war
[verse b]
For all of my failures
There’s no hope for you if I couldn’t myself
History comes in redundant tells
They always play favorites
A million tried and still a million more to fail
The deafening silence awaits you
[chorus]
Buried between the rock
A very important lesson
Will you be caught dead waiting
Or arm yourself against impending war

[verse a]
I could’ve done without the devil and the albatross
Wicked ways of coming undone
The only one to hold that gun
Aim it at that albatross
Trigger finger itching to stay
Beat it down and shoot the face
Another into the ribcage
Maybe I’m the devil after all
[chorus]
Putting down that gun but the damage has already been done
And there’s no going back there
Satisfied appetites
The chaos has been exercised
And there’s no looking back at the things that I’ve done
[verse b]
The devil apropos I did not commit this wrong
Only did what had to be done
And everything come full one day
The Albatross return to me
Stalking me wherever I hide
I grab that gun and turn again
The devil with a hefty grin
Stirring up the fight in my heart
[chorus]
Putting down that gun but the damage has already been done
And there’s no going back there
Satisfied appetites
The chaos has been exercised
And there’s no looking back at the things that I’ve done
[chorus]
Putting down that gun but the damage has already been done
And there’s no going back there
Satisfied appetites
The chaos has been exercised
And there’s no looking back at the things that I’ve done
Putting down that gun but the damage has already been done
And there’s no going back there
Satisfied appetites
The chaos has been exercised
And there’s no looking back at the things that I’ve done

The Rain
05:17
|

[verse a]
I wear these ankle bracelets
They keep my mind from running off
But now my eyes keep chasing
Someway to escape, come out unharmed
Every option bears such hell to pay
The outcome seems less likely with every step I take
[chorus]
Let the rain keep pouring down around my heart
Infusing energy, these batteries recharge
Trapped in a helpless stare, buried in the bogs
Do you remember me, or keep in your thoughts
[verse b]
It starts the objectivity
Obsessions invaded my walls
Desire drives my compass north
past the map ends toward the forest
Pathologically, i brought myself this far
My compass spins in circles, familiar signs lost
[chorus]
Let the rain keep pouring down around my heart
Infusing energy, these batteries recharge
Trapped in a helpless stare, buried in the bogs
Do you remember me, or keep in your thoughts
i feel you tugging on my veins
I hear you running through my brain
i feel you tugging on my veins
I hear you running through my brain
[chorus]
Let the rain keep pouring down around my heart
Infusing energy, these batteries recharge
Trapped in a helpless stare, buried in the bogs
Do you remember me, or keep in your thoughts
Let the rain keep falling down (around me)
Let the rain keep falling down (around me)
Let the rain keep falling down around me
[outro]
Let the rain keep falling down around me
Let the rain keep falling down around me
Let the rain keep falling down around me

Fits of Rage
03:00
|
|||
[verse a]
Choking on the cause of my perdition
Did you ever love this
Could you reinforce the means to on
Tearing up that note I left beside you
Guess I didn’t realize all of this distracted from the real point
[chorus]
Can there be no recourse
Muddy waters force this stumble
May it rain for seven days and seven nights
While I find my way back home to you
[verse b]
Sense has lost itself if only for the moment
Had to grin and grind it
Couldn’t wrap my mind around it
Catch my breath flush with inhalation
Could have been a nightmare
Suddenly the stress is over
[chorus]
Can there be no recourse
Muddy waters force this stumble
May it rain for seven days and seven nights
While I find my way back home to you
[bridge]
We always have ourselves
We always have ourselves
We always have ourselves
We always have ourselves

Connie's Song

[verse a]
Mama put the gun in my hand
Said it’s my only defense from the wilds of the wasteland
As I set out alone I followed my own wisdom
Set my sights on the bear in San Francisco
[build]
Where I found a new kind of home
Sarah and Mary our baby girl
But that’s the thing about happiness
You take it for granted ‘till it’s dead
[verse b]
I should’ve known from our moment through the glass
That I should’ve put that bullet in your head
The institution of this chaotic game
The sole survivor on a persistent chase
[interlude]
I took my revenge and my grief carried me eastward
Not a job to dirty for a man with nothing left to lose
I stumbled across this untimely fate and now we reach this ending
And I’ve been waiting for you
[outro]
We both know how this must end
Are you ready?
We both know how this must end
Are you ready?

Phantasma

|

[verse a]
There’s something in the air
It hold me where I stand
That’s impossible there’s nothing there
And helplessly I fret
[chorus]
Turn around there’s a knocking at the door
Won’t you answer it, answer it
Looking through the dark
You know it in your heart
We’re never dead, never dead
[solo interlude]
[verse b]
It turns under your skin
Like electric winter chill
Recorded in the granite
Do our emotions stain?
[chorus]
Turn around there’s a knocking at the door
Won’t you answer it, answer it
Looking through the dark
You know it in your heart
We’re never dead, never dead
We’re never dead, never dead
[chorus b]
Turn around there’s a knocking at the door
Won’t you answer it, answer it
Looking through the dark
You know it in your heart
We’re never dead, never dead
We’re never dead, never dead
[outro]
We’re never dead, never dead
We’re never dead, never dead

Unconventional Thinking
03:33
|
|||
[verse a]
New hope
See these incentives are really insensitive fool’s gold
One goal
Rush into to pester dreams
Ocean tides festering
Not long till seas storms
Their power devouring
No signs of empathy to show
Who’s looking out for who?
[chorus]
Still shrug off obligations
No penny for these thoughts
The worst still isn’t over
In thinking that you thought
Over-pursued the fourth, the fifth
But still this won’t budge
[verse b]
Miss out
Such silly dependence
This money's a worthless delusion
No hope
Wearing such baggy clothes
Take better care of yourself
So you can devote hours of labor
To some vintage a-hole in management
Why would I show respect for you
[chorus]
Still shrug off obligations
No penny for these thoughts
The worst still isn’t over
In thinking that you thought
Over-pursued the fourth, the fifth
But still this won’t budge
[verse c]
Fear sold with no contemplation
Just reactive nature that knows no
Faux news
Never has entropy ever decidedly change
The outcome
Ignorant evergreens stepping on top of me
Do dispose
I’m still gonna be right here
[chorus]
Still shrugging off my obligations
No penny for these thoughts
The worst still isn’t over
In thinking that you thought
Over-pursued the fourth, the fifth
But still this won’t budge

You'll See
03:50
|
|||
[verse a]
I’m masquerading as a flaw of myself
Constantly debating over who to ask for help
Take these idle hands for the last time
They always seem to let you go
[verse b]
Exacerbated in a flow of distrust
Anticipating these strong reactions
Take these idle hands for the last time
Always complications when we spoke
[chorus]
Outrageous accidents can happen
You’ll never know until you try
These imperfections become your perfection
I’ve been shown the power of this magic
Opportunity won’t last
Can you contend with the detractors
At any time miracles could happen
Don’t attempt to close your eyes
This reality is starring your direction
[outro]
At any time miracles could happen
At any time miracles could happen
At any time miracles could happen
At any time miracles could happen

Silence is Golden
03:16
|
|||
[verse a]
There’s a place at the ocean's floor
Where we go to be alone
And there’s a change in the atmosphere
I’m not scared as long as you're near
[chorus]
And I know it doesn’t feel right yet
But this silence is golden
Know that you’re always welcome here
Inside my head
You’re everything and more
[verse b]
There’s an empathy
Forged in strongest bonds
I’m half the man when you're gone
So here's to treasuring every moment on
When I’m nestled snug within your arms
[chorus]
And I know it doesn’t feel right yet
But this silence is golden
Know that you’re always welcome here
Inside my head
You’re everything and more

Last Ditch Effort
05:27
|
|||
[verse a]
As the car vears of the road
I strain to find my soul
Through the spastic clusterfuck of impending doom
As a last ditch effort
I stumble to my feet to find my family
Shattered into pieces
[pre-chorus]
We may never grace the age again
As hard pressed as we might be to try and re-ignite these flames of old
And there’s a welling of an energy
A will to carry forth beyond the boundaries of the hurricane
[chorus]
Pound of flesh no more to save
Bleeding out in this center stage
Alternatives have left me feeling masochistic
Drops of blood the carpets stained
Remnants of these yesterday
As it pools around, it pulls me down
It pulls me down
[verse b]
Asphalt hurts you land face first
No forms of sympathy or grace
Like pleading with an absent God
As your bubble starts to burst
Rendering these flawed
Accusations of desired dreams
[pre-chorus]
We may never grace the age again
As hard pressed as we might be to try and re-ignite these flames of old
And there’s a welling of an energy
A will to carry forth beyond the boundaries of the hurricane
[chorus]
Pound of flesh no more to save
Bleeding out in this center stage
Alternatives have left me feeling masochistic
Drops of blood the carpets stained
Remnants of these yesterday
As it pools around, it pulls me down
It pulls me down
[interlude]
Now it’s all at my discretion
Second chance I move with haste
Try to seize myself an answer
Force my enemies to chase
In my pathway of disaster
All my dreams left on display
Breaking ground on my own safecamp
Won’t you join me here one day

Exile from the Mainframe
05:38
|
|||
[verse a]
Please don’t go not yet
We’ve only just begun
Puzzle pieces are falling into place
[chorus]
Trying to anticipate the fall
When you start to feel it coming
In a moment everything is gone
[verse b]
Feels like lonesome cold
All freezes to a stop
Fluttering dreams evaporate
[chorus]
Trying to anticipate the fall
When you start to feel it coming
In a moment everything is gone
When you know you’ll never bring it back
But still you must resuscitate it
But it will remain in exile
[interlude]
Here I’ll stay indefinitely
Until my inevitable return
Here I’ll stay indefinitely
Until my inevitable return
Here I’m king the ruler of me
Until my inevitable return
Here I’m king the ruler of me
But it won’t last long
[verse c]
Please don’t go not yet
We’ve only just begun
Creating our own space
