1.
the tower 03:12
as eagerly the dark awaits the night so i take a pill to shut my eyes live, let die, and wander all alone as above so let it be below as above so i am alone as the tower falls i’ll take what i need as the tower falls i’ll take what i need wake me if i’m walking in my sleep forgive me, i’m mourning my belief cause all that’s easily given is as easily taken away and nothing is promised to me as the tower falls i’ll take what i need as the tower falls i’ll take what i need in the end i’m covered in clouds see the bricks are falling out hear the trumpets sounding out are your god’s arms reaching out?
2.
victor bells 03:32
the devils are not in the ground they walk among us and you’ll know them by the way they don’t hesitate to weaponize us bite the tongue that does misspeak the teachings of a rebel king can you hear them now? the victor bells ring a warning sound a beacon that once was held to welcome the weary is haunting us now see this is a vacant war that you can’t wait out

red room 03:35
i can hear the strangers talking as winter air falls on my skin i see your face and i can’t shake it our fathers blood burns within i can’t get it out of my head can’t get it out get it out of my head i can’t get it out of my head can’t get it out get it out of my head out of air and cloaked in earnest to no avail i find the sound as you wrap me in your sadness knowing well that i can’t stay i can’t get it out of my head can’t get it out get it out of my head i can’t get it out of my head can’t get it out get it out of my head can’t get it out of my head can’t get it out get it out of my head can’t get it out of my head can’t get it out get it out of my head
5.
axis 03:01
feel the movement the shifting of your blood the transposition of the air within your lungs your axis on a tilt the spaces that we filled let the sense of loss fall over you what’s the purpose of seeking something new? in letting down your guard? the future’s hazy and you can’t make it out of an empty outcome of feeling what we felt in falling to your knees
6.
marble 03:59
silent like strangers we’re proud in torrid salty seas we’ve passed the better waters where forgiveness is i can’t help myself from stopping all these words from spilling out and the bleached walls we’ve been living in with our holy oath are falling down it’s like weight, weight on the water float, float like a marble the evidence of broken beds and weight that’s placed on words that i have thrown i can’t string them together right you won’t look at me like you did before keep holding my head down and i might learn to let it go it’s like weight, weight on the water float, float like a marble weight, weight on the water float, float like a marble
7.
we have taken our toll, there’s nothing to see here the earth is unraveling it was only a matter of time as cityscapes burn into firefly ashes around us we’re reaching for help with our idle hands weighing us down don’t you know don’t you know don’t you know don’t you know it’s the end of the world watch it burn we’ve walked in the footsteps and paid for the sins of the old see what they’ve left for us don’t you know don’t you know don’t you know don’t you know it’s the end of the world watch it burn
8.
sleep 03:21
i woke from my dream so suddenly i’m still seeing shadows in my sleep there weightless, a man who looked a lot like me if for a waking moment i believed heart racing just listen to what’s buried inside all that i hope all that i fear i hide alone in the afterglow a stranger in my sleep the light illuminates what’s hidden most of all to me heart racing just listen to what’s buried inside all that I hope all that I fear i hide look can you see it it gets closer every day it’s hard to believe it but i’m not walking away walking away heart racing just listen to what’s buried inside all that i hope all that i fear i hide
9.
quiet mind 02:31
how much longer must i chase a ghost? she stirs the devil in me in this blackened room oh hear my plea lest i become a ghost i long to be alone seeking comfort in an empty room let the darkest breath pass through me and leave me in quiet mind quiet mind quiet mind quiet
10.
bleed me out 03:18
ashes to ashes to dust the sun sets in relief that the end is upon us if i am your vacant cross to bear don’t you see i’m not the only one dying here so let go or bleed me out fan the flame put me to death bleed me out fan the flame put me to death i’m the mirror on your wall you’re the shadow in me so bleed me out or let me leave ashes to ashes we fall and we break and i’ll say it like i’ve given more than i take don’t let another sun rise on us bleed me out fan the flame put me to death bleed me out fan the flame put me to death i’m the mirror on your wall you’re the shadow in me so bleed me out or let me leave
11.
take my feet is the seeker always out of reach? am i closing in as if the space holds meaning? this feeling is fleeting
12.
deadwood 04:29
quiet the melody in your mind let your blood rush to light the way behind your sleeping eyes feel the wind across your skin see ahead the life and death welcome both of them in take the fruit from its lovely mother and give it to the deadwood give it to the deadwood soon you’ll see creation in color and you’ll be quiet in the honor it was washed in awe you’ll see sympathetic imagery the doubtful crowd grows restless they’re laughing at you fearfully the golden glow of energy awakens see what you’ve done done done take the fruit from its lovely mother and give it to the deadwood give it to the deadwood soon you’ll see creation in color and you’ll be quiet in the honor it was
