Lion 04:19
Enter the tragic child; a dream run past his eyes In arrogance, “The world won’t hold me down ‘til I’m laid in the ground” The clock runs creeping on my shoulder The sea will run me ‘til I’m red I feel my limit tailing towards me I won’t stop for the walls I’ve torn down Before the start began, I wrote the end Run home; Come end, run home I’m the lion, the fire, the season The wind rides off my back and calls my name To come and settle down Lift your eyes, I am the meaning Run it down the river I’m the light that feeds your life to take the pain away Find me when I’m sleeping The zero sum of all I’ve missed I live inside the bigger picture Grind my teeth to prove I’ve got it figured out Tell her I’m still waiting Expectations met and more Blood and water never mix well If I hesitate just tear my heart out I’ve been pulled taught as the week’s run long I’ve been asleep for too long My wax wings burn from up top the sun What have I won? Enter the tired mind; the dream sat at his side “I think I’m done. The world won’t let me down ‘til I’m laid in the ground” Can I be more than all my parts? Replace my heart If I can’t handle the weight of the world, just replace my arms I am a machine If my heart won’t beat

Sleepy Puppy 03:45
Drowned in the calling, it’s all I can do just to breathe How many years have I been asleep? I’m always falling It’s been so long it’s hard to say what’s right Do you believe in life past life? Would I have stayed if I could change Wake me with light; I'm staying in tonight All I am’s a constant crawl through all my mistakes As much as I tried, I’m cold without the light Meissa, please pretend with me I tried being by your side Bring this back to what it was Crack a smile just because It’s all that I can do to look above Lying in my morning clothes Waking just to fight with ghosts A monster born to fall asleep I gave you your chance to leave The scale of this mountain This monster born to fall asleep I gave you every chance to leave

Cold Snap 03:45
The victim of disconnect, a life marred with moving on Draw the curtain back Whispering of technicolor playing on the water The seasons only matter when they’re gone I’m not enough Do you picture me as a fall or spring? Build me up; I’ve been emptied out Sweet release, I need to breathe again Is 4800 steps behind the starting line too late to turn back? Along with both my hands, it seems I’ve lost a meaning I move in circles Exit unlearned, mourn me I turned and thirteen years had gone Cast out half blind, down shed It’s time to break this body in Current, whip me breaking in between is and what I know Ocean, crash down ‘fore I start to doubt I am all my own Bring me to water, I’ll drink ‘til the world’s gone dark Sunk to the bottom, the sun hasn’t missed me so far The distance between my feet and my first step goes on for miles And the second miles more

Message: [Mistake] I couldn’t stay Stumbling while all my bridges burn and cut me off I’ve been running in circles for too long I’ll be gone come the morning light You never realized That I’m not always going to be the closest comfort for your pride You were every song I ever sang I’m leaving here tonight Freezing, panic It’s too late, can’t stand it I found myself caught undone run so deep I can’t remember where I started from Reckless, repeating I’ve been repeating myself too long Headrush and beating, the purpose defeated Red run on Body moves, head checked out, before I hesitate Read on a note left by the door, “I’m already gone”

St. Lawrence 03:38
Shaken by the rush, the smell of want and fear and lust Do you miss love and touch (I deal in honesty and overwhelming peace) Rhythm in the crash of desperate limbs and rushing blood persists The only thing that keeps me breathing fire Not everyone can wear this mystique so naturally I think I feed on these kinds of situations So brace, catastrophe The ground falls out Brace my jaw This misdirection Tell me, boy, what’s got you cold? The gas is lit, the closet’s closed So what’s got you so scared? Fractured dream, I’ll fix you up Gears all catching, I’ll grind you flush Do you feel undone? One time I gave a guy a book with nothing written inside And told him to read between the lines So quick to part with the reason you feel whole Black out the lights, turn off the phone There’s no one home What do you do when you’re alone Running with your head on backwards Honestly, it’s all the same Desperate try to keep the demons out Was I wrong? Laying out the consequences far too late to count Running with your eyes glassed over Honestly, it's all the same Desperate try to keep the demons out Was I wrong? Laying out the consequences far too late to count Tired dream made friends with doubt The water’s fine, the fire’s out So why are you so scared?

Mercy 03:16
Let the air out Breathe in deep, heavy sleep Living life from the back seat I don’t approve Life to lose, I’m shit with cues I’m a master of making mountains from the ground Until my heads up in the clouds Let the night in Breathe in deep, seventeen Getting high in the backseat Mercy, Mercy Life to lose, light the fuse I’m a master of making mountains from the ground Until my heads up in the clouds You know you come alive when we turn out the lights I could never live without you by my side Lean into the struggle, it won't be long Who could ever live without you I could never be without Daddy doesn't like the games you play Acting coy with all the other boys All the nights I kept you away You'd be better off Quiet on set, frantic breath Girl, you went and lost all of your fight so soon You’d do best to play along No one’s fighting for you here Shining with the ritz, burst on the scene Looking like your best out on the town Honey, forget about your friends Just run along now pretty girl Pretty like a picture, moving on You’d do best to play along Pretty like a picture, moving on Mercy, starting strong

Rabid 04:19
Crawling back home, asleep at the wheel Fell way off target, deep behind enemy lines Furrowed brow, conspicuous tension Show me mercy, show me Caught on your back, safety exposed Casing the door frame Maybe I needed sharper decline to vent this frustration Show me mercy, show me Watch me falter, you won’t hear it I’m exhausted, and you’re too much when you’re out for blood ‘Cause I’m not sorry, and you’re not sorry Desperately searching for excuses we both ignore You knew what this was, but I’m not sorry; you’re not sorry Can you see me? Were you ever there? Half-hearted laughing; we talk in passing Nobody knows you; were you aware? Who cares when you’re gone? Crawling back home, asleep at the wheel Fell way off target, deep behind enemy lines Furrowed brow, conspicuous tension Show me mercy, show me Caught on your back, safety exposed Casing the door frame Maybe I needed sharper decline to vent this frustration Show me mercy, show me A reason to stay To wear this dread out Give me a reason Falling backwards every step we take What do you want me to say Something in the way to understanding Every end the same, a circle ‘til we fall All I really need; just give me time Heard it through the grapevine you felt this way for some time Desperation doesn’t sit well in your eyes All I need A broken agreement to meet at the end of it

And my final entrance, walk center stage Am I not proud? The house is sold out Hear the vultures screaming, ‘Feed hungry eyes’ The noise from the crowd; I played and they bowed Mark my neck with teeth How was I supposed to know? ‘Run’ she came; ‘Love’ she sang She called so sweet; ‘Run’ she stayed Breathing deep the comfort, sobbing in my ear ‘Mother, run home. I'm left not my own’ Just when did my siren start to sound so sad? The nervous defeat, her lock incomplete What’s so wrong that I’m cast away? Wake this sleeping giant Wake this dream tonight Days turn to weeks turn to years Thought turns to rot off the walls and the echo Pacing a piece of me left a while on Pacing in circles, a feeling a piece of me left a while on Was I not worth the words I prayed for sleep ‘I’d die for sleep’ Forgive me if I might have been just a little

Lamb 04:54
Lines met at the end to bring the river down Root the cradle up from underneath Time and time to think that consequences weren’t all my own It didn’t stop me then, but now that I’m alone There’s circles ‘round my eyes, water if I try All I’ve gained is a lack of sleep Keep me from the dark, somewhere Meissa starts Lift me farther, I miss the water It’s cold out there Sloughing death from sleep I can’t keep but crying while your Wrapped up in your mother’s hair I can’t keep you Draped in moss and rot, do my feet still walk? It’s been a while since I moved on my own A voice hopped off my shoulder and turned to look me in the eye I can’t stand you staring at me now that I’m alone Panicked, running scared, dirt run through your hair All I’ve lost’s my peace of mind Keep me from the dark, somewhere Mercy starts Where’s my father, I’m just a daughter All I have is moving on Nothing breaks the surface long Who will miss me when I'm gone? Falling out, I fade away Heavy breath, my hands are shaking Tell me, who am I today?
