1.
i swear it's getting better but i spared the part where nothing is forever so says my heart still i swear it's getting better slowly recall those ordinary places sift through the memories where you lacked guilt but still you had to face it the lies were tasteless the consequences painless those ordinary places does it make sense, what i'm saying? i'll never get it right i cant believe that i believe what i'm saying does it make sense, what i'm saying? now you think you're clever back to the start it's now or it's never it's the hardest part still i swear it's getting better slowly
2.
a selfish form of selflessness my response to innocence honest but degenerate fearless eyes and elegance forceful freedom caving in my dream came true tonight the courage just to settle the sins are out of sight but desires there to lead us right each day i feel like i'm living the years still pass me by it takes time but i'm still giving until i say goodbye
3.
for your own sake no time to waste it's what i say it's not a game lost your name, can't explain been erased in silence sacrificing superstition show me how you've done it, loved it i believe symmetry follows me in the distance halfway gone without reasons artificial, i need one, need none at last we are nothing
4.
it's coming, it's come, it's gone what i thought was right was wrong an empty house subject to change never knew life was a helpless game obsession past the point of doubt just the question pulls me out traded my fear for love reckless, reminding me of how stand still, help me out can't feel the indifference of... i watched the trees without their resonance before i shouted out to the ancient hive we didn't die without you, we're misinformed i must say how i miss your sweet, sweet honey intentions falling from me i forsake myself, the world is not ugly trading my fear for love
5.
wound up, just a day in the life with the curse of a restless man not a single place to lie his idle hands tough luck, in a life that's taken more than it could have from a world that's slowly fading from the map loose tongue, another word from a soul that's left his work undone another excuse from a wasted creation i've been coming around to the scattered beast that is my head until my memory serves me right again endless means endless no in, no exit another lifelong friend i've been missing for quite a long time now it's more a choice than a fate, i don't know how forget what you know everything is a thought and the thought's just for show the motions, they flow the clock never stops but the window's been closed the pressure to rise the relief to fall the reward is so small but if i'm being honest i'd never commit at all scared to break it, never imperfect scared to end this, boundaries are faded each time is different each choice is vacant dust collected, days are reluctant trained to listen, mind you, forgiveness into the darkness you'll overcome this
6.
have you ever missed home? have you ever felt alone? you as yourself it might suffice, you know an image that we design poorly portrays a simple mind a senseless barrier to climb with all the light that's blinding my eyes darkness feels so kind all that you love's not far behind become the person you try to hide say what's on your mind all that you love's not far behind drifting so close everyone knows there is no hope time moves so slow forget it and go a drifter leading alone the safest place to be but home you as a ghost

about

this is a collection of music we've been working on for the past 2 years. through profound changes, relocating across the country and back again, recording and mixing everything ourselves, we slowly built the album over time, the music reflecting the changes in our lives.

this is an album created by a new process, a new way of working for all of us. whatever it was we captured, we hope it reflects something that's inside of us and that's also inside of you.

this is a completely independent, self-funded project. all pre-orders go to the artists.
