- Track Name: Are You Ever

I never had sympathy
For all the things you said you need
I never bought your tragedy
You look for grace through your greed
Stop texting me all the things in your head
Leave me alone so I can get back to bed
Are you ever gonna need all the things that you seek
Are you ever gonna read all the books that you keep
Will you ever believe all the words that you speak
Baby put down the phone and listen to me
Are you eva’?
You think that you’re exemplary
Dressed up in daddy’s jewelry
But life is full of epiphanies
Your happiness illusory
Stop texting me all the things in your head
Leave me alone so I can get back to bed
Are you ever gonna need all the things that you seek
Are you ever gonna read all the books that you keep
Will you ever believe all the words that you speak
Baby put down the phone and listen to me - Track Name: Plainly
-
No more hair left on my head
I can’t hide, I can’t pretend
Nothing left to hide my eyes now
Nothing left to quelch the contact
She’s all right but I can’t commit
Is it my past why don’t I give a shit
She’s got a point I didn’t treat her right
I can’t control my eyesight
Something’s goin’ on but you don’t have to say it to me
Something’s goin’ on but you don’t have to say it to me
There’s something goin’ on but you don’t have to say it to me
Something’s goin’ on now I can see it plainly
Trapped inside we both don’t feel alive
This must be a roller coaster ride
Nothing real to be scared of
Don’t you treat your eyes like children
Something’s goin’ on but you don’t have to say it to me
Something’s goin’ on but you don’t have to say it to me
There’s something goin on but you don’t have to say it to me
Something’s goin’ on now I can see it plainly
I can see it plainly - Track Name: The Tide
-
She’s drinking gasoline and crying
She breathes, she inhales lightning
Then she screams just to test the silence
As it leaves her body
She goes unconscious
She spills onto the ceiling
The tide goes on believing
Oh she’s waiting
She makes her way through the frenzy
A shallow breath at the point of breaking
She’s a beautiful disaster in the making
Alone and lost
And panicking
She spills onto the ceiling
The tide goes on believing
She spills onto the ceiling
The tide goes on believing
Oh she’s waiting - Track Name: Shape You
-
Look at the stars and tell me what you think
The ones I focus on the most are lit intermittently
Too introverted to shine
but in the shadows they’re burning so violently
I gotta tell you something that you oughta know
The shape won’t change until you tear it don’t you know
I don’t know you well enough to know
To shape you on my own
Look around are we as important as we think
And take a look at yourself are you who you appear to be
So tell me something so I can understand
is everything what it seems
I gotta tell you something that you oughta know
The shape won’t change until you tear it don’t you know
I don’t know you well enough to know
To shape you on my own - Track Name: Insomnia Sonata
-
What is there to know
When it’s all been said
I could ask my friends
But all my friends are dead
You came into my home
Slept under my bed
I wanted happiness
And I got you instead
No one gets the phone
We’re long past that stage
To answer means to talk
And vocalize the rage
Some silences have heat
But more often they’re cold
We couldn’t make it catch
A match without a stove
We blew it all before we started
But at the time it seemed important
Watch all the flames surround the space
And then it fell into place
You said you’d make it right
Then everything went wrong
Copied all my keys
And mixed up all my songs
And emptied all my bags
So you could make us clean
But now we lack a vessel for our dreams
We blew it all before we started
But at the time it seemed important
Watch all the flames surround the space
And then I fell into place
Then I fell into place
We blew it all before we started
But at the time it seemed important
Watch all the flames surround the space
And then I fell into place - Track Name: Welcome to Kanan
