Little Nova 02:55
lyrics

Over time I've become More and more accustomed Increasingly calloused With every single loss But when your soul embarked It was more than a tally mark Anguish enfolded me Poured over like concrete Surrounded slowly then Hardened and sealed me in I never understood Why you walked the redwoods Maybe it's because they gave you shelter From the rainstorms in mid December We buried a seed In your memory Next millennium You'll tower above When your future kin Walk the trails you did Your branches will help Shelter from the wind You left us so abruptly With damp cheeks sawdust on the skin The rolling hills of Berkely Wistfully recall your wheels' kiss Stand over me sequoia And shield me from the storm within Despite how I avoid it I always sing the requiem Now your wife and daughter Sit together in a kitchen That feels capacious and somber Cause it was built for one more person Still propped on the mantle Sits a wedding picture That your little girl can't handle Because you never got to meet her You never got to meet her

The Eulogy Of Rumpkin 03:33
lyrics

When I close my eyes I see my demons staring back at me And actually I've been dreaming of All these wasted apologies And honestly I've been trampled by fears For the past two years I self destruct more than I'll ever hide When the curtains close I'm just a little child inside When I close my eyes I glimpse a face in front of me It's haunting me I've been dreaming of All my insecurities Impurity I've been trampled by fears For the past two years I self destruct more than I'll ever hide When I see her smile I die a little bit inside So wish away compulsions On a vicodin star Bury the obsessions Under organics in a mason jar Drown me in a sea of smoke Tidal waves transform to foam After time the blow subsides I lay crippled and alone The cold hard truth Wakes me from my slumber And your putrid lies I ran out of number A generation raised in hate A subtle violence I can't relate As you ruminate on your mistakes The most bitter words Are spoken by the sweetest people Filled with hurt As you preach your hate You are a sacred apple Spewing your thoughts to the chapel When I close my eyes I'm dreaming that this time will be My final sleep

Paperback Youth 02:50
lyrics

Tired sad and alone I have made these words my home So I used the doormat I always step the wrong way Falling into this cavern of sadness Every single day Perfect mirror image I do not accept What came before I was shrouded in contempt I appear as not the man I chose to be Smash age old glass choose my own destiny I am a pauper I am a lych Plead for your dollar bleed for you sin I am the shackles binding your wrists I am enamel concealing tryst I'm guilty liars at confession I'm faulty wires failed filaments Step up and I'll confront you my id Step back and I'll commence my abyss Now it's time I come to grips with severed stems that once bore petals Elegant and delicate they drifted to the ground and settled Whether I gracefully fall or get cut short it doesn't matter Regardless I'll still resolve left rotting in brown leaves and earth

TR6 On Walbrook 04:13
lyrics
buy track
Trapped in a blanket of lies It's spinning around and around again Constantly lit check engine light Is telling me that there's something wrong The only problem is what's inside The rusty frame with chipping yellow paint The cigarette butts on the front porch are the only ones who really know me Even if at times they can't remember my name But I think the second hand smoke is much less dangerous than sitting here another god damn second Giving myself another reason to just get on a plane and go home When I was two years old I almost drowned in the backyard You jumped in fully clothed And lifted me up into your arms You asked me what I'd thought I replied when will Daddy come I wish I'd never lost The faith I had when I was young When you get this call When you get the chance Can you give a message Can you give a glance To the Christmas card Hanging up on the fridge Can you tell the son Don't let things come to this Can you tell the father Don't let things come to this Keep it how it was For a little longer Now we share a living room That's riddled with contention Four walls stained with silver blue Act as the only remnant Of happiness torn and frayed Smashing up old picture frames Royal colors turn to gray Polaroid memories fade In ten years don't expect me to send a single Christmas card

Baby Teeth 03:29
lyrics

I spent summer days In a haze of Isolation Trying to figure me out But the pills don't help They just remind me that I'm broken down I spent summer nights By the lakeside With my eyes wide The fire flies still glow The same way they did years ago See the seasons change Autumn ushers in the rain I don't know when we'll see sun But I hope it shines today So chin up and we can take A moment to separate What we want from what we need And find some oxygen to breathe So chin up and we can take A moment to celebrate What we've got cause all I need Is a little company I watched dusty roads roll from the backrow of a minivan No one understands why I am the way I am I walked grey shorelines watched as the high tides and the winter waves Trampled over rocks and turned castles into graves I don't think I knew what I once had and now all I want is to have what I once knew Seasons change

Silhouette 02:46
lyrics

All this empty faith All left to waste It takes more Than four walls to build a home Feel the floorboards heaved From under me You fled north Nothing remains but your ghost You stormed downstairs to the basement And threw down the papers The entire household was laced with Aprehensive anticipation It's not to say that we saw nothing coming It's just that no one knew what to expect Nineteen long years and five lives unraveling It all came down to a stamp and a pen I watched from the hall across the house Avoided tension and secluded myself As the frame work crumbled dust settled around My body like a snow angel I'm not known the keep a promise And that night I swore through all this I'd always keep my composure I couldn't keep my composure I'm waking up in a restless sweat My greatest terror's the one thats closing in These aren't the nightmares I had as a kid These fears are tattered family portraits Sign the documents Sign your letters drenched In apologies Until the ink bleeds Dry on clotheslines hang On open display Dripping colors left Only silhouettes
