Introduction 05:12
your mouth is - directly over mine this breathing - comes slowly - synchronized you and i are everything and nothing all at once use your teeth - and draw blood we will be till one breaks will it always be what you want can any one thing sustain if you remove all of the holes you cannot change it cause you never got told you cannot change anyone or anything
2.
Colour Code 04:08
If you feed it but it won't grow you think you want it but you don't and keep it colour against a white wall as the sound of repetition is blinding and if you feel there's nothing left to take or learn in this you've lost no necessary means of risk can make it right or kill the pain and if you want the face to smile you don't begin to cut into the skin force it cause it won't try don't wait for everything to start or be put in place in a line you break - you spit - you remould don't spend your time dying
3.
White Room 04:27
it gets a little bit harder with everything at stake you build a series of reasons keep something that they can't take they want you to trace instead of draw you must be easily defined and when they chew you up and spit you out nothing will go to waste you want to make a mark - but to cut you need to play and like waiting for the sun to rain - these things are not the same you write and make it yours then others think the same push everything you have into the centre of the frame and watch as they arrive and pull apart the years of all you've given thinking this just has to work stuck stuck stuck in one move and with the lights out you could be anyone no reward for your persistence don't shake your head you know the rules tell me if you've heard it before
4.
Lay Down 03:44
gone the nights that we lived in now we hide from the light our hands are tied to the old wood as the fire watches us die and you and i are known by name we move these arms and talk the same and to the dogs we are blood stain on your heart where you fell don't know how long we can run but we do - but we do
5.
Dead Zoo 04:20
I can't read you no more now that you're invisible take some then pass it around some things belong to no one from where we are standing we can see everything the way the fire plays with what it's entrapping (chorus) fall to the water - a sea of bodies that have all let go - they wave but don't smile at you and i - we are so close so close to it - is it calling us? by name? - you better mean what you say cover me i can't claim to know this way let my eyes adjust i don't know what to say cover me exhibit in a picture frame notes & commemorate nothing can stay the same
6.
anti-ever after type - always an end in sight no infrastructure holds under disappointing performance A-L-O-N-E i will A-G-A-I-N withhold you know that it will bury you - but still you swallow don't tell me it is black and white (not in me not in me) the truth is i am never right - let me hide pushing everything away - queuing up the new to do the same questions only irritate - correct response is every things ok
7.
Out & Out 04:59
it's mutilation on your part what makes it make no sense drain memory from your heart can't need what you don't recall and you wanna stay high but you're down keep moving but you're held to the sound of every good thing you've had as it pulls away give it 1 more chance just cause you choose to look doesn't make it there everything turns when you disappear and if you connect and it forms a line a series of marks that you left behind and remedy inside your hands you taste and you wear it around and remedy inside your hands just take and tear it apart
8.
Two Ones 04:51
you count the days you've spent divide it by how far you think you've come and now you know - what keeps you awake from the inside we try to build connect leave something of ourselves not been done yet while others fall - we are all in all only pieces…we are only pieces record lest we forget- like tapes set on repeat we know what's next-know every line what will become of us they'll say i never tried - let everything just burn lay down to die no ceremony at least put a knife in my right hand…in my right hand there is no easy answer so we stop asking the question
9.
move a little bit - open up your eyes remember where you are - and how you got so tired let the water run - let your memory in and see the day as cut up pieces you eat and then begin again pick a shorter line - live a longer life save a thousand times - and buy another smile and i know you but i feel nothing we move in a counter rhythm - repetition is a safety word
10.
December 04:15
connect - intake when you take release when you go no one is anyones stay - as long as you can can't feel a thing the weight of the words - we spoke cover your eyes i saw them try to let go & quiet in days you move away empty I disappear all of our years - memories and lay down - it's over for now
