Echo, Echo 02:26
lyrics

Once you live with it for a little bit Once you live with it for a little bit Once you live with it for a little bit I'm an echo Of a former self I came back From somewhere else No one haunts me Memories gone It's not missing There's nothing wrong Can a suffering Diminish alone Where’s home if you’re never really known Could you be An echo Of someone you trust And trusts you alone Echo, echo You star, star, star Echo, Echo Yr far, far, far No one else here For miles and miles Just me and myself Alone for awhile Frantic for A little touch You go too far You fix too much Sometimes love Things ain't broke They just don't work Like you know Curse a generation Fixed on growth Wear out the roots rotted from cold Are you just an echo Of all the unjust Do you just Do what yr told Echo, echo You star, star, star Echo, Echo Yr far, far, far No one else here For miles and miles Just me and myself Alone for awhile Alone for awhile Yeah

Tuesday 03:20
lyrics

Every day is Tuesday Every hour is 2 I ignored the news today It's always nothing new It's always nothing good I can see right through the lies There is no good luck More than enough goodbyes Not enough fucks to give for all the lies beyond the pale It's never right to live With everything for sale Every day is Tuesday Every time it kills So easy to lose my way So hard to tell, so little will

Existence Is Exhausting 04:04
lyrics

There's a pulse There's a thrum And it throbs In your ear It's the blood On the drum And it's all That you can hear There are consequences To this path All the spores Are black The choices shrink For every ship you sink Paving your way To a glorious path Hocus pocus Periodic fasting Eat your heart out Existing is exhausting Hocus pocus Periodic fasting Eat your heart out Existing is exhausting Wakey wakey You get no rest Decisions of division Are for the wicked and blessed Shame shame For feeling this way You didn't earn it Like all the rest Wakey wakey You get no rest Decisions of division Are for the wicked and blessed Shame shame For feeling this way You didn't earn it Like all the rest Hocus pocus Periodic fasting Eat your heart out Existing is exhausting Hocus pocus Periodic fasting Eat your heart out Existing is exhausting Hocus pocus Periodic fasting Eat your heart out Existing is exhausting Hocus pocus Periodic fasting Eat your heart out Existing is exhausting

The Cake 03:13
lyrics

It's been a rough year you know I just want a break I've had some tough runs before This one takes the cake I don't have steam to vent It spilled over the years And I feel all spent But I keep crying these tears You can have your cake And eat it too If you're willing to fake away All the shit you been through Any flavour you like Won't ever satisfy If you're bitter 'til you die Bitter 'til you die It's been a rough week I've been drifting hour to hour I don't like to admit defeat But my body's out of power I dream about vacation I dream about the past Old friends' faces Those friendships didn't last I cry every day My therapist says it's good What's good about being this way I'd stop it if I could You can have your cake And eat it too If you're willing to fake away All the shit you been through Any flavour you like Won't ever satisfy If you're bitter 'til you die Bitter 'til you die

A Home 03:13
lyrics

Umm So fine Living in a home Yeah Umm So fine Living in a home Yeah It's amazing how quickly A home can disappear Unh yeah You blink through the sticky You blink through the tears Unh Four walls and funeral How a house becomes a home Happily ever after all Like a fairy tale poem These memories down the hall They just dilapidate and fall A home is where you feel it all Where you feel so small These memories down the hall They just dilapidate and fall A home is where you feel it all Where you feel so small It's a tragedy to fight so hard For such a basic right It's a grift to be a lord They're all just parasites It's astounding how hard A heart can become When a home is torn apart It benefits no one These memories down the hall They just dilapidate and fall A home is where you feel it all Where you feel so small These memories down the hall They just dilapidate and fall A home is where you feel it all Where you feel so small Unh

Sunbaking 04:04
lyrics

Sunbaking Back in pain and High on the sands In the pouring rain Not faking Just a giant throbbing ache Connected to hands Lying in wait I'm awake And drifting off Rotting the guts And feeling soft I can't take it Lifting the weight of Being stuck in a rut Drifting aloft Sun is warm on my back Lessens the hurt of this attack Vicious cycle Robbed by time And the natural flow Of the scraping grind A daily hike will Slow the crime But can't stop it, no From peeling back the rind Panic wins out At the threshold Of losing the war So take holds Take the pin out And all the hand-holds Fall to the floor And shatter in cold Sun is warm on my back Lessens the hurt of this attack Pray for mercy Pray for comfort But the beat goes on Drumming and drummer Lay there cursing Pay for something Just to be nursing A wound made of nothing Sun is warm on my back Lessens the hurt of this attack

Nice Sentiments 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Forty years of memories Wiped away all at once Grab the bear who's moving faster Twice the speed of all your luck Nice sentiments five elements Paid for with all your love Pick the horse who never finished Ain't it nice to always be enough Give away your gold All you ever stole Ride the waves of disagreement Careful what you create here It's sentimental picked by hand That withers when the future nears Crisis of identity Crisis of the cheese Holy food is just kitsch Always slapping your knees Give away your gold All you ever stole All your life a criminal Petty whims of happenstance Chasing dumb dreams a far Like you even had a chance Pretty fool I called you Nothing ever serious enough Laughing in the face of death But you thought you were so tough Give away your gold All you ever stole

New Echoes 02:26
lyrics
buy track
So far away from it now I'm like a piece of myself Always looking in To remember the guilt New echoes wake me up A fortress of dust motes on the air Dancing for a few beats And then it settles back to bed I never wanted to die Nobody asked me Is this what you call free will Well it hurts like sin Two days and a sandwich Nothing settles the burning No mana from the skies Saving for a martyr I couldn't hold a candle To the true interrogator It wasn't even a contest There was no one to judge I never wanted to die Nobody asked me Is this what you call free will Well it hurts like sin Well it hurts like sin
