One last lunge towards the rest of my life I wanna go back towards a simpler time One last punch before they knock out the lights I wanna go to a simpler time and take you with me

[I Was a Watchtower] You’ll pick up the pieces won’t you All that was blurry is distinct now I should have never stuck around My continuity’s all unfound You’ll reuse the fabric won’t you All that was certain only serves now to confuse I wanna get lost on my own So what if the changes fit her mold I’m scared now only to be illegitimate And if I escape from this cave Will you think less of my face Will you? [Overgrown] The rest of your life, in search of forever With a rifle at your side you walk down into the meadow Throw the bottle round with the cork still unscrewed Campfire on the mountain, sunset shining over you Found footage of window panes we’ve seen before Broken glass from stones, scars from years outdoors We’re stuck together in the wastes away from home Empty and endless place but never walked alone A dwindling supply of rope in your backpack As we wander down these hills, reclaiming every setback Following the rails once bustling and new I wanna break the boundaries, cross that field with you I couldn’t tell how well My voice Breaches through the trees I can only hope That you That you can hear me Every second glance always hides its intention With a compass as your guide, you ease your defenses Laying on the ground, silent forest sprawling view I wanna break the boundaries, cross that field with you The rest of our lives, in search of forever With a rifle at your side you walk down into the meadow Throw the bottle round with the cork still unscrewed Campfire on the mountain, sunset shining over you Found footage of window panes we’ve seen before Broken glass from stones, scars from years outdoors We’re stuck together in the wastes away from home Empty and endless place but never walked alone Empty and endless place forever overgrown

[You Bless the Ground] Oh how you raze the sky En route to coronation Your rust belt fortune flies All into sewage street sides En route to coronation And how we thought the world would end If you didn’t make your entrance Yet your factory filling skew Every second I stare at you En route to coronation [You Raze the Sky] Vanishing ink signature written in acid rain Iron walls oxidized, wilted and warped in shame Walks abandoned run for miles Not when i walk with you I’ll sit as you break stasis As each factory’s framework skews City fixtures crumbling under hundred mile wind Forests fighting back by force I take shelter in your limbs Slashed apart, raze the sky Healing scars, raze the sky

Storming circles, filaments Piled snow, electric and undressed Stranded rescued and returned Exhausting mirrored candles slowly burn Hidden deep away Never go away Kill your time on a rabbit’s eye Static electricity In the evening I am liberated In silence and unmovingness My beating heart preoccupied Tethered and internalized A candle in a jar in a room My beating heart preoccupied Tethered and internalized Glowing out into the wild Draining water, freezing cold Power lines hanging weighted low Huddled up and hidden down Submerged in silent cold and scattered round Hidden deep away Never give away Kill your time on a rabbit’s eye Static electricity In the evening I am liberated In silence and unmovingness My beating heart preoccupied Tethered and internalized Holding only one at a time My beating heart preoccupied Tethered and internalized Running off into the wild Isolated, understorm Obstructed gaze, uncertain of your form Sprawling wide and stealing space I crumble softly, quiet in your wake And I feel so left behind the world looks down on me from every side They test for tumors on rabbits like you And under electric skies I wrap the spool In the silence I am captivated By never ending static states beating hearts preoccupied tethered to a single line The direction we're headed in now Listening and passing time In our travels unified The fact there’s no turning around So where to go Always the first word out of my mouth An intonation that speaks to your doubt I’m going up into the night sky Too late to stop me, too futile to try Fixed to a flaming point in the clouds A roman candle in an emperor’s crown Just like a beacon up in the air In the burning middle of nowhere And in a haze I’ll begin to rise Levitating you’ll wave me goodbye All out perfection until I’m gone I’ll run away from you, take off to the stars King of the skyline, fill you with joy Lifting the peril out of your voice now Bursting asunder in simple time A celebration void of reason or rhyme I can’t return from the volley I've joined Or escape the trail I've been tryna avoid I cross the sky on an illegal firework And all its been is a pyrrhic rebirth And as I tear through every sense I’ll captivate you and ease each defense Just when I'm under the miles of your skin I’ll liberate myself leave the stars singed

I wish I could speak on my own life A document for the hell of it If only I could write things down On a typewriter that can circumvent the permanence of ink I know I can’t find the words anyway It’s too hard to empathize with my past self When I’m a different person than i was yesteryear, oh well How I long for continuity, how i long to hide what i can’t help I wanna weigh myself down Unsure if I’d drown If rocks can’t sink this ship I’m your iceberg sweet titanic I want to reassemble all the broken parts I want to know the part of me that let them scatter round I want to vilify myself for what I’m unsure of Any sense of connection to the past/future/present tenses Rip the roots of confinement from the ground Make my way through the woods dark and cold Then maybe I could hold (the past/future/present, the past/future/present)

I'll sit as you break stasis In the turquoise water wake Rust striking down refracted In the water, angled waste

(Instrumental)

I hate the city Human rat kings tied in knots For your consideration I’ll keep wasting Time in labyrinthian lots It’s just a detour Through the most crowded place on earth I can’t stand the public And the smell just makes it worse But we have a place to be And I’ll hold you silently Subway Stanchion Get me to my destination You’ll always have someone to lean on Subway Stanchion Get me to my destination You’ll always have me to lean on And at the exact moment we brake Before inertia pulls you away Before you step into the street again And until you mind the gap I’ll always be here to hold If the floor is shaky or full If the seats are crowded with people Whenever you need

Helicopters flying around Rumor says it's a cop out Nowhere I would rather be Under powerlines, cross country

[Scattered All Over] papers scattered all around my room And a letter opened and exhumed Frantically ripped apart at the seams In attempts to catch the tail end of a dream But in the trash lain across my floor Mostly miscellaneous or mail fodder I lifted up the story left By the pages that I’d unthinkingly kept One day all the loose ends will be gone And I'll have nothing to hide from Like a pop up book slowly opening I’ll see myself between each page And as i read the timeline of my life I grew further disconnected further out of sight I began to recollect upon my childhood I began to occupy what I never understood Every unfinished fiction I would make All of the normalties that never took place Most of the nothings I never went through All the every-things I still have yet to lose One day all the loose ends will be gone And I'll have nothing to hide from Like a pair of jaws closing down Clenching me inside it’s cage [Sunward Current] Now just the sunset Rusted recollections I hear the tail of your breath It’s hollow when you’re not here Alone and so formless erase the rain So far away Now just the sunset Hollow when you’re not here So bring me close Scattered across the sky But this stasis is my own Up into the country Some hidden road In the ivy and silence All overgrown Scattered across the sky But this stasis is my own Now just the sunset Rusted recollections I hear the tail of your breath It’s hollow when you’re not here Alone and so formless erase the rain So far away Now just the sunset Now just the sunset Rust forming in stasis avoid the trail to the summit It’s hollow when you’re not here So warm and electric All hidden deep Don’t go away Now just the sunset [Still Life] Under electric skies I am the spool Now spilling out from inside my room I’m folding maps into more idealistic locations yesterday I tied my shoes my bicycle back tire wouldn’t move I took my bag and circled the neighborhood everything is a part of it it’s never too late to have a happy childhood

My eyes aren’t what they used to be But i see you in the crowd now distantly I used to look forward to rainy days Burned homes in the Hudson valley So we are making ourselves into a wall I’m bound to be vandalized, bodies, bathroom stalls With the dryer broken all summer long I resort to the line because it’s all i got My first flu shot after turning 18 I never knew I'd been living so dangerously Gave me a sticker put it on my dresser side Over a mantra, now out of its time I have been brainwashed and i will be again And that’s the hard truth, the one they put in your head I have been lied to, I'm a mechanical dog Off to the landfill, salvage rescue or rot All i want is to know myself With the guesswork done by someone else I’ll walk softly through the forest trees I’ll be what you want I'll be anything I abandon this harbor and i sail far My slim view of the river set to life on mars The daily bus ride is starting to depress me Like a played out three chord melody I remember the set piece, your father’s space Taxidermy so old just an alternate decay In the mud of what you wanted to create Spinning cycles of a life so commonplace If everything’s the same I'll take what i can get I could look around I could make new friends But giving up on friendship is not for me Burned homes in the Hudson valley And I've been abandoned by the people i trust But it won’t happen again, now i know i am loved I can be rebuilt as a mechanical dog Off to a new home, the past is dead and gone All i want is to know myself With the guesswork done by someone else I’ll walk softly through the forest trees I’ll be what you want I'll be anything
