How It Ends 01:40
+++HOW IT ENDS+++ hey look who’s the king of them now they’re all spineless creatures dug from the depths of the ground they are no one they want to know faith they want to know trust they want to know god say they want to know us but they don’t want to know us and it’ll be be be be be until it won’t be we’ll take the cheap cheap cheap cheap seats to our own lives i’m not scared of their ambitions they create destroyed inventions they want to know faith they want to know trust well it’s burning down with us it’ll be be be be be ’till it won’t be we’ll take the cheap cheap cheap cheap seats to our own lives. nothing perfect nothing infinite nothing sacred nothing simple i don’t want to know how it ends i just want to know how it is

Red Hotel 03:19
+++RED HOTEL+++ they killed the scene and built a hotel (what happened? what happened) another dead youth center (what happened? what happened) maybe it’s not important enough to believe in the city builds it’s coffins for us we dig deeper they harvest all the things we’ve grown we’re not leaving until we’re fucking coughing up blood it isn’t right what happened it isn’t right what happened and you’ll die before you’re paid back it’s the only thing that’s constant before you go believing every word they say ignoring everything that you stand for just to beg headstone condos another frequency dead this city is a coffin and i will step right over it we’ll make this right we’ll build it again we’ll make this right if you wait for it to happen you’ll wait for it forever they built a chain to be broken like it was made out of nothing worthless and i am reminded every fucking day

+++DUMB DEAD EYES+++ i’m the saddest sadist i’m the llama llama lamest in the world i spend my days damning daemons and my nights shaman shaming in my bed building bedlam but why do we sleep why do we sleep what do we need we can’t get when we’re awake why can’t i sleep why can’t i sleep what’s different in me? i condemn contentment create my own containment quarantined. cremated. salt the earth beneath me i’ve been hailing halos to hang over my head but this one’s caught my neck like words that i can’t understand why do we speak why do we speak there’s nothing to say no meaning to it all why can’t i speak why can’t i speak what’s fucked up in me? why can’t i breathe why can’t i breathe why can’t i breathe? i’ve got dead dumb eyes dead dumb eyes backwards mouth crooked spine dead dumb eyes dead dumb eyes bear in mind

Glow 06:34
+++GLOW+++ i’ve been working hard for nothing at all a meaning that was so soft spoken like heat leaving me never to return to the world like a body a curse lives buried in the dirt it’s burning but it doesn’t glow a fire in a pitch black room as i breathe in the smoke nothing escapes me i feel it still no one no one sees us burning alive we are deeper than we ever will know the sun is still and i’m still moving front row center of the universe’s collapse a mind is a black hole nothing escapes it you burn it but it doesn’t glow a fire in a pitch black room as i breathe in the smoke nothing escapes me i feel it still no one no one sees us burning alive i was glowing bright inside i don’t know what i became my body casts a shadow on my insides a curse that will never be broken all the world’s on a tilt and i feel it slide dark heart heat death nowhere to hide and i wait around like a broken house to be torn down i did my best. well, i almost believed it myself i was in awe of all we’ve done and what it all became when all i’ve done was all in vain i’m not who i was and i’m not who i am and all i’ve done was all on a stage i’m not who i was i don’t know what i became i want a re-do i want to meet you all over again just start over again i hate what i am just a sketch to erase i just want it all to end so i can be complete i was in awe of all we’ve done and what it all became i’m not who i was i don’t know what i became i just want it all to end so i can be complete i’m not who i was i don’t know what i became i just want it all to end so i can be complete. it’s not who i was and it’s not what i am i just want it all to end so i can be complete. it’s not who i was and i’m not like i came i just want it all to end so i can be complete. i’m not who i was i don’t know what i became just want it all to end so i can be complete.

Kitchen 02:00
+++KITCHEN+++ short temper long night double vision and one eye i punch holes in the walls in winter and smoke in my kitchen cops called for a noise complaint busted on a friday night just me myself and i ran off the rails tonight like a freight freight train weigh a feather against my heart don’t care if i’m dead or not don’t know if i’m too fucked up so what so what so what i don’t care

Prizefighter 03:44
+++PRIZEFIGHTER+++ they cut your tongue broke your legs you bared your teeth with no bite left chained like dogs kicked and pulled prizefighters with no fight left in us given the option yeah i should have turned and ran but you lead me here dead on arrival arrival are we too good for for this world are you watching me release the heat that i have in the darkest days we can’t outrun i’m still waiting yeah i’m still there turned to salt turned to sand endless days and no time left lowered head open hands billionaires and not a dime to spare us given the outcome yeah, i shoulda turned and ran but you lead me here dead on arrival arrival are we too good for for this world are you watching me release the heat that i have in the darkest days we can’t outrun i’m still waiting yeah, i’m still there always there i was there always there ways there bear your teeth with no bite left prizefighter with no fight left in us when you leave there’s no world for me and you leave me here no heat no sun no life left and the things we’ve seen mean the world to me but the darkness you left is still there always there i was there always there prize fighter with no fight left endless days and no time left

Grow 05:28
+++GROW+++ i burnt down overthinking then i spaced out every night and i worked through the days after the funeral freaking out counting time down as i broke down in the bathroom and it makes you who you are not what you wanted to be every night i see someone that looks just like you to me i can’t take the way i make a mess out of everything i’ve lost and i’ve grown better but i don’t forget i don’t forget what we’ve lost and i dropped out before it killed me yeah i scraped by i sold my blood and i scraped dishes for next to nothing it’s a violent scheme of living they’re trying to collect my breath for their debt they’re never tired they’re never bored because they’re never awake i stay up nights days and nights trying to get back to sleep it makes us who we are but it’s not how i want it to be we lose and we grow better but we don’t forget everything i can see exploding right in front of me everything i can see exploding back into me everything i see everything i see
