This Time 02:50
Oh, some years, some months and some days are hard to take Yeah, some laughs, some smiles and some games are hard to fake Agitation, need for information Obsessions, heightened senses Loss of sleep, decreased appetite You could keep trying But what’s the meaning? What’s the truth? And in a moment of nothing There’s nothing for you to do Things keep coming back to the one I haven’t been here in oh so many nights In looking to the future you always forget the start The middle kind of takes you apart There’s nothing left of you to stay Oh, some years, some months and some days are hard to take Now we find when it’s time that some promises are hard to make To create something out of passion for your craft Is wholly a personal experience And nobody has the right to tell you What to do with your product Difficulty concentrating Morbid thoughts or actions No interest in activities that you once enjoyed Just to make it easier never take it to heart So you could try to pin on me anything that you want I could become invisible You could cover the scars And even if we took it that far It wouldn’t make it go away And it’s trial, and it’s error, but that’s life So all of this time was not a waste To swear that I wouldn’t die most every night You know some habits are so hard to break No, don’t change your mind Oh, change your mind
2.
Need this still remain? To get in your own way Is not to guard the heart But all these things you face Are buried and untamed Asleep until the spark So caught up You’ll never get enough But it’s pain, not loss And everything you break you gain in love Under this moonlight Is every second guessed Devoted to the night Breathe, that you might save A space for some mistake Rejoice, for you did fight When it’s sitting beside you It’s so clear what you’re tied to Even if I say I know It’s so clear that I’m just So caught up I’ll never get enough But it’s pain, not loss And everything I break I gain in love

Aqua Phase 03:38
It’s something like a dream And it’s just another big set back of mine Slow, but slowly rising Cannot break what I’m tied to tonight Mirror, who am I now? Who am I to be next time around? Mirror, how do I fix this? You’ve given all I can take as the ground I’m not a life sold off Cardinal two Circling a mutable head Should I embrace the moon It may in fact invite the dead Pixie, how do you plead? The blood line that you’ve run from exposed Pixie, how do I read this? What of you do we take back or owe? I don’t know I’m not a life sold off Another rip sewn up Image burned to the brain Cannot break what I’m tied to tonight

Rapidograph 02:42
To talk about art And to talk like it’s rough To exercise The freedom of To let it sway you and possess Instead of decide That it wants you Impassioned by design Well, you get by And I could do it too Honey, I know You’ve got a solid sense of pride But come on, we both See all the killings on the rise The bare bone life Laundry day We close our eyes I wish that I Had known a better way Process, the key My hands are the sword Perfection never helped To swing at all And seldom has it sold I’ve built a place It’s taken some time The structure is strong I go there to hide Bump up the price, now See them coming off the streets I guess if you can borrow what you lack You’ve got enough at home to eat Who am I today? Yeah, I’ll be alright And even though I still Go moonstruck at night I know that I can change But these are saturated times I don’t intend to leave With nothing left behind
5.
Moments made of us You know I wouldn’t want to waste it now It’s just sometimes I can’t hold it back All said and done, If I knew I would tell you A portrait painted in a past life A piece imperfect, and impatient to sow Uncultivated, With a dull knife I had to cut me, and cut me, and cut me to know Electricity sky of every color (the light cut out) And I, a servant now, am offered to the sun Had something told me I would not recover (the light cut out) I’d let it all slip by and into my decided descent to none But it’s all just passion long lost and found again And it’s moments made eternal, driving west And it’s footprints treaded over, rounding bends And it’s things you wouldn’t know you’d never miss And it was not my intention All at once I am new, I am valued
6.
And it’s just like dancing Time and again it throws me off Button up, face the night Free to be oh so criminal Won me when I walked in the room and I Too had a feeling you’d had enough and just Three days later, now seems we couldn’t ask For much better, nothing could be better I want it bad I want it more and more The summer, the singing in your car The silence of your eyes Your eyes hold the memory Of every foreign horror that you’ve seen And every little kiss I couldn’t give For every pin stuck inside me all Over and over again There’s no mistaken turn You do combine Those lessons learned And how apropos That you and I Should share the note
7.
This takes much greater a time Than we have left to lose Should’ve started twenty years back When we had a better chance of maybe saving you And there’s no sense in it now If this is all we could become But in a way I had it all here beside me And it’s too late I’m finding But in a way I gave no love at all No sense in it now If this is all we have become Given the right soul And given the right track Given you had a mother That gave you the time back This isn’t all you would become But in a way I gave all I could have
8.
Karma check; the ghost shows up They’ll come for you when you sleep Gun to head, would you give up? Never know what it means Cynics all becomes critics And bend the world to their words No one knows what you know, right? Heaven knows what you’ve heard I know my game is just a hunt That my aim is set to cut Through a skin not yet evolved from Best to ask if you don’t know Don’t assume that you do Easy said what you don’t have Hard to see, but it’s true World began when you woke up Your world’s an echo chamber Draw the curtains or shut up What’s the verdict on you?
9.
I could feel like I do Only move like I see it as a line Like a memory erased When you say “are you wasting precious time?” And it’s such a vulnerability Under every constellation My god, if you were to see Is the secret that it’s just In the way you attempt to believe? So if you’re trying not to throw it all away Be whatever’s enough Dance America Nothing never changes and nothing is not bound Let the heat out of the body and keep what you write down Make the motor stay level, there’s nothing but right now You were all in, you were all out Work it all out And that’s the trial Of our each and every day That’s the way it’s done Dance America So if you’ve had it And you have to turn away You are everything and just For a moment you become I know you’re trying But it’s only just begun Dance America

Fin 03:53
Catch an 88 Only 27 Thought that I could shake I was 24 Waited by the gate Back behind the kitchen Couldn’t stay awake Never sleep at night Thin as you could be Money more than borrowed There’s nothing left to see Good as dead tomorrow I wish it were simple to see But if I could turn off the light I wish I were enough for me And if I could silver the sky You know not How to live a life in the shadow of time I wish there were a moment of peace Here, behind the black of an eye I had fallen out Alone in her apartment The rig was on the ground Closer every day Did my 28 Counted every second Got out and straight-away Made it all for naught
