Start Up

Everyday I'm nodding off so I can spend a night a week awake
Well how much more can one body take?
But sleep's a way worse curse, its only taking my life away
Though anytime my energy is running out
You're the medication that palpitates my heart
And even though eventually I'll earn an early end
You start me up
You can start up (my life)
You can start up (my high)
You power my motion
When losing momentum, you can start it again
You keep me up (all night)
You keep me up (side up)
You teach me a lesson
The mania listens
You're a charger cable stuck between the bed and the wall
I can't reach you that easily
Eventually I'll dig you out
So I can feel elec-
tricity, then whatever you allow
Like apathy with manic bouts of thunderous glee
A catalyst to my shock immunity
So anytime my energy is running out
You're my charging station wherever I may wind up
Even if my conscience short circuits out
Unplug and plug me back so
You can start up
You can start up
You power my motion
When losing momentum, you can start it again
You keep me up
You keep me up
You teach me a lesson
The mania listens, to keep it going
If you keep up (to date)
If you keep up (with me)
I'll power your motion
Our eternal attrition
Orange
Little Orange
Little Orange

Tsk tsk Mr Ghost
Your phase of fear will end right here
In the hands of those you say that you hold dear
In shade of night you'll stir a fright that's
So damn obviously just a projection
That'd fail to scare the most timid of fawn
Tsk tsk decrepit ghoul
You'll haunt us just a few more years
You're quickly running low on suitable hosts
Your castle can't outlive our teeth and nails
Tsk tsk Mr. Ghost
Each day, threshold for fear expands
Exponentially, as you know
You'll never scare me or my friends again

All All Too Much
03:17
|

Have you caused your share of hurt
Did you lug the lighter weight
Is it all still too much
Is it all
Is it all all too much
Is your love strong enough
But dont sweat
You could take all year to rest
That'd never makes you any
less of my friend

Pulling up a classic game but it just wasn't
Pulling my heart from my chest like it used to
I guess that's growing up
Befriending your chronic pain
Isn't so bad since it always stays
No matter how much you're achin
It's part of growing up
Wish we never drifted far apart
But this lifeboat's the child of
Open water and the wild wind
Trust that your natural guide surrounds
Standing on the edge to take it off
I never wanted to rely
On anything I couldn't run from
Coming down's like growing up
Growing up

Integrity Out

Store bought integrity
Looks like a nicety
Greetings my (work) family
(Rise up) Climb up our money tree
And pluck George out
Oh !!
Leave me out
Leave me out of your charades
Unless you wanna pay up

Searched my room for the daily thing i lose
Like motivation or my phone
I doubt I'll find them here alone
But I stay in town, keeps a fresh
Perspective out
I like my echo
Chambers, dark and warm, with
A stream that runs forevermore
Wont you watch it with me?
So I came to terms that
Maybe love is somethin earned
When you don't call your home a house
Not when you've turned your entire bedroom upside down
Looking for the ground
Eventually you'll find what you stop looking for !!
Eventually you'll find what you stop looking for !!
Eventually you'll find it finds you first

Another Deity
01:47
|

|
For those who are unafraid of god
Were you not indoct-roduced?
Or was it that boring game, called sermon says
No
Was it unbridled vitriol
Under the guise of holiness and benevolence
(No) Then what? Can't you see
Love? (Where at?)
In both of us and everybody
All the time
In an empty threat and even in the crime
The sentence too
In scattering of energy from the start of everything happened and will be
Converged dualism
Persistently, inevitably toward
A single point, ha! another deity
We hold tight abreast our fear-eedom

most days I wonder if you're still in town
jail
manic smile under the baggiest of eyes
you always looked like you had got a plan
what kinda schemes have locked you up
could everybody tell when you would improvise details?
but in the face of your one hundred thousand dollar bail
you always looked some sort of free
let that be my testimony
cause each night I pray you make your great escape
and if you're staying inside you can still
dream always

Chasing Parallels
04:13
|

That pesky fence keeps coming apart
One panel rests where it fell in the yard
I'll Leave it where it lay
Leave an opening
Leave that where it lay it's left a window to an odyssey
Where passersby patrol the alley swear they looked like me
I really wish we could meet
Are you gonna keep that pace
Looking dead ahead
I'll run along your side
Chasing Parallel
We'll never meet
Even though our eyes do daily
And though we'll never cross each other's lines
But you will always cross my mind
Boundaries bend to none of my barks
So I tend to question the strength of my high
Well stature's a grand excuse
To pretend you're above abuse
It comes in many forms you know (like big puppy dog eyes)
Like an unblameable and deceptively simple adorable device
Are you gonna trust this face
Looking through the gaps
And if I don't look threatening
Could you even tell
We've never met
Even though we walk and talk on the daily
Thought all this time the barrier was only mine
So I crossed the line
And if the bark is worse
(Will you be silenced?)
And if the bite leaves a mark
(Will you be healing?)
And if the love looks like hurt
Will you align the two forever?
Are you gonna keep your grace(x4)
Chasing parallels

Window Light
09:19

Run from the light
In the gray street, but the city ordered red
And they get particular
About tone
Don't you act your shade
Unless you're out of the sun, son
Where we gotta learn to bask,
In the rain
Of standard issue ammunition
For looking like a threat, to your rep
Will it be safe here
Here in my own home?
Just wanna dream another night
Last thing I saw, a window light
Have you saved face
To the whole wide world
What did you say to get away
How could you sleep another restful night
How dare
I won't hate you till you put on that
Shade of blue
I need you
Much like I need my neck neath your boot
I'll call you
Next time I got a death wish to use
I'll love you
Until our encounter is through
Caution's your excuse for all your malice
There's warning signs posted on our wounds
Cuz caution's an excuse to try out your weapon
Culprit gets carved into our tombstones
In the graveyard, in the middle of the day
Livestreamed on video
Ancestors if you can hear me speak
I'm sorry to say there is no power in proof
We have enough
We've had enough
Are you safe there
There in your tall home?
You get to dream another night
Have you saved face to your lucid states
What, did you think you'd be all right?
How does it feel to lose your life, alive?
Die alive

I have grown more patient this year
Making breakfast is easier
When all my longing is cut short
I won't wait
Guess I have grown more patient this year

You shoulda seen their eyes in '08
The first time they plugged into a delay
Signals a new record to write a kinda sci-fi
About a cosmic wanderer playing tour guide
Who took a joyride on the moon
Make an escape from a dying pale blue dot
But that's about as far as the fable got
There were much more pressing poems to put off
But they get all self assured
Any tension unattended'll resolve
Without some sort of witness
Without an audience there can't be a launch
Enlisting satellites to spread fracture songs
They sound like
A supernova strumming guitar
Apartments were vacuums for all of their art
That's why the space rock kid
Played for only stars
Trying to stay in school, work a job
To learn how to become an earthling
Feels rather alien
To be a square when this rock rolls in three dimensions
Gonna need some kind of volume
They'll form a high velocity band
Enough inertia to pay the friction no mind cause
It feels like
A supernova's lodged in their throat
Apartments were stages too in their soul
That's why the space rock kid
Played for all the stars
Guitar solo
You shoulda seen their shows
(Before we had to stay in)
You shoulda heard that tone
Since the words never made sense
The space rock kid
Will you ever grow up
And if you wont, could you lend a little hope
Space rock kid
You're the enby of the stars
