Album • 2018
I'm a little alike You before things had changed In a compass, I ride All this feels rearranged Tell me, does it matter If I'm still here, or I'm gone? Shifting to the after An impostor, I'm not the one you know I look the same outside Nearly me even though I carry something I hide Underneath the one you know Tell me, does it matter If I'm still here, or I'm gone? Shifting to the after An impostor, so disowned Are you surprised black water flows From wells run dry? I'm not the one you know Lay me out with our guilt Watch the explosions fall, rain Cannot live…

Some things last, sometimes you never get over Live in the past, you find out it's hard to stay sober My see-through skin like Eurythane Lost and then found, on view for all and I wouldn't trade You'd never know a long time ago you were frowning Thinkin' it over It's raining down, and somehow you know It reminds me why I even care anymore You can find me writhing in the ghost of a song Rising through the Rainier fog Some people change, sometimes you leave how it oughta be Find a new way to come clean, let it wash over me My see-through heart like Eurythane Beats for you proud, up down and through all the love and pain You'd never know a long time ago you were crowning Thinkin' it over It's raining down, and somehow you know It reminds me why I even care anymore You can find me writhing in the ghost of a song Rising through the Rainier fog Left me here so all alone, only for me to find Hear your voice on waves we rode, echoes inside my mind Disembodied just a trace of what it was like then With you here we shared a space that's always half empty Grinding, grinding on Always half empty Grinding, grinding on Always half empty So we can laugh it's inside, never hear me complain My see-through city of cellophane You'd never know a long time ago you were drowning Thinking it over It's raining down, and somehow you know It reminds me why I even care anymore You can find me writhing in the ghost of a song Rising through the Rainier fog Reminds me why I even care anymore You can find me writhing in the ghost of a song Rising through the Rainier fog

I play the clown for you Entertaining, absurd hue As I watch them laugh, I'd love to See them clap and dance to my tune Blowing up like a red giant Expansive, a star And I'm coming to burn this down And laugh my ass off All my children sing it again and again 'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winnin' 'em over Amen I act on stage up here Toying with your own fears Misdirection I'm so near Simple sleight of hand, in the clear Blowing up like a red giant Expansive, a star And I'm coming to burn this down And laugh my ass off All my children sing it again and again 'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winnin' 'em over Amen Too late now, show's over Real life is much closer Take the make up off, you wonder Why I look the same, only bolder Blowing up like a red giant Expansive, a star And I'm coming to burn this down And laugh my ass off All my children, sing it again and again 'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winnin' 'em over Amen

Led out on a leash behind you, holding ground And I don't need no reminding, I've been around Been around, yeah, I am a sound, yeah Lie down with your peace where you find it Won't come cheap Fill up on love when you're hungry, tired then sleep Have your dreams Don't let it wind you, let it bring you down I hate to tell you how little I have found They paved the road with fool's gold And you're gonna fall out You're gonna break down, choke and cry Waiting out the storm when there ain't no place to hide And you're gonna fall out You're gonna break down, choke and cry Waiting out the storm till the skies are clear to fly And you're gonna fall out You're gonna break down, choke and cry Waiting out the storm till the skies are clear to fly Follow where it leads, your heart will know what's true Don't be blinded by shiny pretty things well past due It's on you, yeah, it's on you, yeah Don't let it wind you, let it bring you down I hate to tell you how little I have found And you're gonna fall out You're gonna break down, choke and cry Waiting out the storm when there ain't no place to hide And you're gonna fall out You're gonna break down, choke and cry Waiting out the storm till the skies are clear to fly They paved the road with fool's gold They paved the road with fool's gold

In my eyes you are beautiful Not just bbright, perfect spiritual I did what I had to do to get higher Spent myself on another, entangled like lovers Not quite dark, not quite light Steppin' in and out of madness Such a dedicated drone And though you find me rather tragic I'll stay here and feed my pet black hole In the time I have spent with you Unconfined, beyond physical I did not regret my time on the wire Spent myself on another, entangled like lovers Not quite dark, not quite light Steppin' in and out of madness Such a dedicated drone And though you find me rather tragic... I bear the cost, can't dull my anger And that's fine Built up inside, obscuring danger It's alive In my eyes you are beautiful Not just bright, perfect spiritual I did what I had to do to get higher Spent myself on another, entangled like lovers Not quite dark, not quite light Steppin' in and out of madness Such a dedicated drone And though you find me rather tragic I'll stay here and feed my pet black hole Pet black hole Pet black hole

Sinking below view Time spent a wasting Alone in a full room Nobody plays in I own everything Whine all set on eleven I own everything Cries a soul on fire Hurt does surround you Blinded and tied on Numbness engulfs truth Let bygones be bygones I own everything Whine all set on eleven I own everything Cries a soul on fire And it tears me in a way Hangin' over And I feel it's here to stay Inner coldness so ingrained Feel like a fake thing Where did the time go? Memories worth making Pass by the window I own everything Whine all set on eleven I own everything Cries a soul on fire A soul on fire

Long gone, the days of summer In L.A. it stretches longer Fading, waiting Try to heal but the pain it won't go Start with less, always seems to cost more Hating, breaking Remember come December One day can last forever Ain't nowhere that's safe for a lowly pretender I'm shooting straight for the target center Maybe you should know I'm feeling lonely And I'm tired, oh yeah Maybe I should go Got no desire To watch the last tear fall Maybe this will show I'm reeling, empty Uninspired, oh yeah Maybe I don't know You anymore And I'm smiling Our burden is untied Let it die I'd be lying if I said it felt right Even though I got a dog in this fight Wounded, losing People talk in and out their words go To be the one from where the wind it does blow Hounded, surrounded Remember come December One life can live forever Ain't nowhere that's safe for a lowly pretender I'm shooting straight for the target center Maybe you should know I'm feeling lonely And I'm tired, oh yeah Maybe I should go Got no desire To watch the last tear fall Maybe this will show I'm reeling, empty Uninspired, oh yeah Maybe I don't know You anymore And I'm smiling Our burden is untied Let it die Maybe you should know I'm feeling lonely And I'm tired, oh yeah Maybe I should go Got no desire to watch the last tear fall Maybe this will show I'm reeling, empty Uninspired, oh yeah Maybe I don't know You anymore And I'm smiling Our burden is untied Let it die

I survive on the scraps you don't burn Maybe love's something I'll never learn This whole house of cards crumbling slow If I disappear would you even know The trap is time and no one gets off of this ride alive The trap is time and no one gets off of this ride alive So far under Far I've never fell Now forever dwell So far under So far under Too much pain to tell And now I'm ripped asunder So far under All my words sucked straight into the void Same black hole where my heart was destroyed The trap is time and no one gets off of this ride alive The trap is time and no one gets off of this ride alive So far…

Silent grieve Suffocates the rumor Feel my breathing Speed up at the thought of you My inner voice Seems to want you dead Only choice Manage down the trail I've lead Never far away I always see you When it all goes dark you light my way through Never fade I know you think you're someone I forgot Never fade I'm everything you really think I'm not Never fade I know you think you're someone I forgot Never fade, yeah Growing cold Try to numb my feeling Lose control All my friends are leaving Paid the price For all the lies I used to live Sacrifice For all the love I tried to give Never far away I always see you When it all goes dark you light my way through Never fade I know you think you're someone I forgot Never fade I'm everything you really think I'm not Never fade I know you think you're someone I forgot Never fade Never fade I know you think you're someone I forgot Never fade I'm everything you really think I'm not Never fade I know you think you're someone I forgot Never fade I'm everything you really think I'm not Never fade Never fade Never fade

Cannot recognize the face before me It's unfamiliar Time has left me broken down and homely Can you still see me undisguised? Outside the window of your eyes Clinging to the memory of your prime After many years the road you wandered Left you here alone, deprived of others On your toes or on your heels There's a line drawn on the floor Where the blood has dried, there is no shine Have another go my friend You see I can't feel anymore While you question just who the hell am I Is this all I am? Given all I can? Is this all I am? 'Till the end of time, never knowing why Ghosts and damage, no advantage for me I'm past believing Understand the price you pay disarming When you can leave it all behind Outside of the window of your eyes Clinging to the memory of your prime After many years the road you wandered Left you here alone, deprived of others On your toes or on your heels There's a hole worn in the floor Where the blood has dried, there is no shine Have another go my friend You see I can't feel anymore While you question just who the hell am I Is this all I am? Given all I can? Is this all I am? 'Till the end of time, never knowing why Cannot recognize the face before me It's unfamiliar
