Habit Forming
04:11
|
|||
I’ve been runnin’ round in circles for so long
Buspirone underneath my tongue
All I could ever want is to think straight
To sit still and never fall back down through the ground
But don’t be as alarmed as me
Because fear is habit forming
As our world’s colors distort and bleed together
I’ll heal myself through you
In the morning weather
I think I’m owed
Something better
And if I wait here
It’ll crawl to me
As our world’s colors distort and bleed together
I’ll heal myself through you
In the morning weather x2
Don’t be as alarmed as me
Fear is habit forming

No Shadow
03:48

Open up
I know it’s not fair
A heart that beats at 30%
Comes out of the blue
Black and White
Is the color of everything
In this world
But if that’s true
Then there’s no shadow beneath you
Or above me
And no reason between
You don’t have to tell me how it feels
In the center of your chest
Your stomach falls in
Black and White
Is the color of everything
With no shadow
The keys are in the car
But no one
Is in the driver’s seat
I wanna be there when the wheels turn
I wanna feel it when we burn
You don’t have to
Tell me anything
Black and White
Is the color of everything
With no shadow

Plastic World
03:53
|

In my plastic world
I’ve seen thoughts bounce
Off fake hardwood floors
Up to the bare white walls
It confuses me
Why I suffer
When this place is only momentary
How will I know
When I just want a home?
It’s something that I need now
But what if I miss out?
In my plastic world
I’ve felt my heart bend
To and fro warmth
As we share a bed
It depresses me
How we shuffle
And move right on
When shit crumbles
I won’t mind
If you don’t mind
There’s a penalty
For living in the temporary
Pretend to solve all the problems
Then fill our holes with smoke
I know I’m still young
And age is relative
But soon I’ll be bald and gray
I hope I’m home then
I won’t mind
If you don’t mind
There’s a penalty
For living in the temporary
Pretend to solve all the problems
Then fill our holes with smoke
In time the plastic will melt
And form solid concrete
But who can say their honest
When we hide as much as we show?
Yeah

Through White Noise
03:58
|
|||
Under blue skies
The world will die
Through white noise
I heard you cry
My heart is beating bad
As my soul is swollen
Leaking like you said I would
My hands are stolen
With bright red lips
And those sultry eyes
Oh, and what I’d give
Just to, to sympathize
Oh dear, can you come down?
You’re just upstairs and close to turning around
Sober and dry
Stripped of rights
Hell ain’t here
But its damn sure near
Oh dear, can you come down?
You’re just upstairs and close to turning around
Fear knocks off my crown
I think we’re somewhere waiting to be found
The smoke gets in your eyes
Lazy lips birthed another lie
Everyone was wrong
Where have your friends gone?

Feel it Float
04:25
|
|||
Outside my head
And then feel it float away
I think you are
Getting tired of having to say
Please don't worry about those pins and needles
They’ll make you sick
Try not to think twice about your heart's rhythm
At least not tonight
Oh, aiming down to meet my eyes
Always sell yourself on the punchline
Thinking is easy
And fear, it goes both ways
The color is red
But sometimes purple and gray
Please don't worry about those pins and needles
They’ll make you sick
Try not to think twice about your heart's rhythm
At least not tonight
There comes a time
When time starts coming for you
I was surprised to see what I was worth
I realized
Slow like a cigarette burns
It's in my blood
In my lungs
In something you said
Oh, aiming down to meet my eyes
Always waiting for that punchline
Oh, Looking forward to walk away
But never escaping this mess I’ve made

Truth & Time
03:26
|
|||
He keeps himself awake at night
With what could have beens
And maybe you think of him
And also maybe you don’t
He bills himself as a good man
And sometimes he even convinces himself of that
He thinks that maybe a drink would help
But the coward’s afraid if he starts
He won’t stop
Now he waits his turn like everyone
Just ordinary and self loathing
(Ooooooh)
Fully aware that he's the problem
No intent to change
Content with making the same mistakes
Truth and time are just
Declining parallel lines
Joy and pride will collide
At least a thousand times
I was just held back
A victim of circumstance
I believed that, didn't I?
Now what does that say about me?
Now I wait my turn like everyone
Just ordinary and self loathing
(Ooooooh)
Fully aware that I’m the problem
No intent to change
Content with making the same mistakes
But that’s the way it is
Convince myself I’m behind the wheel
Because I’m a big man and I have to win
It’s just the way it is
