Oh, Daylight

You want a story that will last all night
And it will be there til the morning after
It's no surprise you're running dry
These things will happen to anybody else but you
I've got a feeling that we're out of sight
Both stowed away until the hands are turning
It's no surprise we've lost our minds
But there is no one I would rather suffer
Oh, daylight
Is never, ever far away
Oh, my life
Is never, ever wanting to change
On the outside it seems like something's wrong
Knocking back anything we get our hands on
But from the middle we're quite alright
No bonds are breaking only aided to reinforce
The hieroglyphics of a life gone right
The scribbled sketches of a raving duplet
It's no surprise we can't deny
The missing piece is just a welcome distraction

Carefree (Underlined)
03:17

My face on the floor
Let its cold make me whole
For I am trying for the seventh time
To do some damage control
And I, I'll be willing to fight sometimes
Wearing hi-vis disguise
And never knowing my lines
Comply with everything that you know is right
Never sweetness and light
It's only degrees Fahrenheit
Why don't you read my mind and tell me what you find
Cause I'm a loaded goldmine of everything you could fit in a lifetime
But sometimes I've no spine for the storyline
Carefree, underlined
The torch it burns on
And lasts the whole way home
And we are passing again and again
Through another evident danger zone
And I, I'll be willing to fight sometimes
Wearing hi-vis disguise
And never knowing my lines
Comply with everything that you know is right
Never sweetness and light
It's only your God-given right

Gore
03:29
|

|
Damning all the things you compromised
Just to see a little more in side
The feelings you used to want to hide
Playing the role of the evil heel
To bring out the feelings you want me to feel
Marks the end of what was real
Gore, it’s all you want me for
More than just an open door
(We soar by)
Soar by what you can’t ignore
Gore, it’s all you want me for
Tasting pain as another stunt
For the first time in four months
Doesn’t make it feel less blunt
Watching the old ones disappear
At the end of the fiscal year
You play the role of the engineer

No Detriment
03:18
|

|
You wanna do it? Go on and do it
Responsibility for actions is my first line
You wanna say it? Just fucking say it
Cause you've been living on the back on my last line
Oh why am I picking up the pieces of a lifeline
Clearly there's no detriment in my mind
This feeling it will go right through me in time
You wanna think it? Just make me think it
Better having me around to supervise
You wanna be it? You already are it
Cause you've been blinded by a life that multiplies

Even Glow

You should check the cabana
Indiana, the seventeenth most populous state
Make the plans to go out there
Read about there
The crossroads of America
Allocated at random
It's in tandem
With hopes to try and pedal your wares
Feeling self-immolated
It's outdated
But beacons can be useful
If you won't even glow
Then I won't even know
It's what you say that makes you stay away
If you don't even know
Then why should I go
Turn another gauge
Turn another gauge now
Your escapades leave no traces
And these faces
Are nothing more than parallel lines
I can be there beside you
There to guide you
And if you wanna open your eyes
You will see double action
It's a fraction
Of what you'd have to pay back home
Not the space in between us
Mars and Venus
And Pluto was divested

Doorbell
03:57

I wait for the doorbell, hiding out
I strayed from the mattress
I like to evolve within a world
Where nothing ever happens
And all along it was winding down
And burning like Polaris
And all along it was common ground
Avoiding the embarrassment
Was it all a dream?
And was it what it seemed?
“Was it all a dream?” you asked
“Was it what it seemed to be?”
Sometimes you don’t know if you’re safe and sound
And that’s what keeps you crashing
There’s so much trouble where we want to be
But nothing we can’t manage
We are the vultures anyhow
Picking through the parrots
No sense of the colours in front of us
And nothing to disparage
Somewhere I know you are thinking I’ll go
But I would never
Somewhere I know you are racing back home
No one will overtake you
Why? High on my own?
Why? Why all alone? I don’t know

Backbone
03:50
|
|||
|
Can't see what the hell is going on
And I'm sure we're back where we started from I know
The forces have come to overthrow
Just keep your focus straight and clear
And I'm sure you'll liberate all those subdued
And the demons that torment me and you
Think back if you wanna see the signs
From before, they'll play again in your mind I'm sure
I see them myself from time to time
I'm not gonna focus on the floor, my head back
There's no time to be self-effacing when
Everything that we've known is going to end
I only want you
I only want you
To make a scrapbook of my insides
I know you want to
I know you want to
Bring your backbone and battle cry
For the last time you'll wonder why
No one asked for a samurai
To look past all those vilified
And help all that need saving

Paradise Twin

You see the signs and read my mind
It always seems to happen in swells
I can see what's in yours as well
Communication's compromised
When you're knocked back a thousand times
We've got the best of what
Everyone is staging for us
No need to hide it because
No one is going
No one is going where we are
The countrysides arrange my pride
In ways that make no sense to me
And I think you would agree
Kicked back into overdrive
Cross your fingers, come alive
I've got a feeling that
Nothing ever will be the same
In a material way

Dead Horses
02:43

Harbour master contacted overseas
Loaded questions of varying degrees
Dead horses
Dead horses in the sea
Travel slowly
Down from the factory
You were someone's
You were someone's only friend
Range rovers bring with them the end
New markets and the plans that they create
Other uses for the things that the world can make

Ambition Fades with Age
04:00
|
|||
|
We were taking it apart at the seams
Any idea of an American dream
Kept it going til the pressure swelled
And all the dust floating in the light fell
You could play the role of interviewee
And embody everything oh so naturally
Sound the "everything is ending" alarm
You'll hear my voice again when free from harm
So terrify the outcome
Don't roll around on chrome
You'll misapply my time bomb
All for nothing
Ambition fades with age
Exactly what you thought I knew
Ambition fades with age
I like to think that wasn't true
Ambition fades with age
It's more about what's up with you
Ambition fades with age
Aspirations overdue
