ordinary places
04:55

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

until recently
05:03

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

at last we are nothing
05:05
|
|||
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

fear for love
03:51
|
|||
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

no in / no exit
04:57
|
|||
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

you, as a ghost
06:02
|
|||
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
