Nervous Energy
08:02

Going home
Going home I had the craziest feeling
That reached into the part of me
That longed to be
All alone
All alone I could see the light
At the end of the night
And I could breathe again
Feels so wrong
Something feels so wrong tonight
Something intangible like a bolt of electricity
That rewired me
Into a mind
Into a mind that can feel
Every emotion
Now I'm racing with the notion that I can feel again
But don't mistake my nervous energy for happiness
Don't misread the need to please as lucid pleasantries
Atelophobia consumes me, it fills me, it kills me, oh so slowly
And I'm tripping over idiosyncrasies
I'm riding the waves of impermanence
I'm accepting the comfort in never knowing normalcy
Give it time, and the smile will turn into a stare
From dead eyes again, you'll know you see into the center of me
Breathe in, if it's all you can bear to do
Breathe out, the past can only hurt you if you let it haunt you

Devil Around the Corner
04:59
|
|
||
You don't show your face and you keep all your secrets to yourself
Then you come around here and tell me I've kept you from some rightful wealth
You think that you made me, now you think you can put me to shame
And you say I'm to blame for all the damage done to your name
But I'm not your pariah
I'm not the devil 'round the corner, darling
I'm not your pariah
My dear, take a look in the mirror
So what feeds the seething, how does the hate burn and fuel your light?
What keeps you tossing and turning through those sleepless nights?
Is this another powdered fever dream, or just the cold reality that no one was right?

The Dream
04:44
|
|
||
Another place to call home has come to me
Another place where I can roam, it seems to be
That when I close my eyes I'm taken
I awaken to another world
Where the ghosts of this life walk with me
Where I've gone since I was a child
My mind running wild, but frail
Sometimes I think I've found a way out of the dream, but I always return
Another place to call home, it seems to be
Another place where I can roam, I long to be
Where the valley meets the trees
Where two realities become one
It's where I find myself every night in the dream
I've never believed what I can't see
But it feels so real to me

Growing Apart
07:40
|
|
||
I can no longer call you 'friend'
I should have seen through your plans
I should have known I was the means to an end
Sometimes a good thing isn't meant to last
But that doesn't help this wound, no it doesn't help this wound mend
You could no longer look me in the eyes
You couldn't tell me how you felt
Your lips can only speak in lies
There was a time I thought it would never end
But friends became strangers again with one last goodbye
We can't go on now, you and I
We're better off now, we can't lie to ourselves and each other and say that everything will be okay
We're still learning
Who we really are
Maybe we're two at odds
Maybe we're just growing apart
We can't go on now, you and I
We're better off now, we can't lie to ourselves and each other when we know that nothing will be the same
We're still learning
Who we really are
Maybe we're two at odds
Maybe we're just growing apart

Letters to Nobody
03:57
|
|
||
I'm writing letters to nobody
And nobody is writing back
Guess I'll make it alone today
I tried to learn how to be a friend
But that fear took me over again
I can never help myself
I just have to run away
You say that I'm acting strange
That I'm just not the same
Why did it all have to change
And now I know it's not your job to save me
But I need a little help today
I don't know how to fix the part of me that pushes everyone away
Why did it all have to change
I couldn't leave my house today
Something told me to stay inside
That old ghost is here to stay
So I'm writing letters to nobody
Just to clear some thoughts from my head
Or so I don't feel alone today

This Could Be the Night
04:34
|
|
||
This could be the night
That wrong becomes right
This could be the night
So let's collide with the light
And disappear
When will this feeling end
This could be the night
A February night on the freeway
My heartbeat's racing
My hands are shaking
And I'm begging for air
And all my mind can do is roll a film I've seen a thousand times before
Of all the mistakes I've made
Of every regret I've saved
Of all the happiness feigned
And I can't watch it anymore
Long summer nights
Drive-in romances
Lost desert dances
In the back of the car
Now I'm a child again, I've lived this life a thousand times before
Trying to make friends
But too afraid to leave the comfort of my room
And the film keeps rolling under a cold, lonely, February moon
Of all the mistakes I've made
Of every regret I've saved
Of all the happiness feigned
And I can't watch it anymore
This could be the night
That wrong becomes right
This could be the night
So let's collide with the light
And disappear
When will this feeling end
This could be the night

Soul Trader
05:07
|
|
||
You are the one I've waited for
No one will ever love you like I do
I'm the only one who can give everything you've ever wanted
I only ask this of you
Leave your old ways, let my life become yours
Give in to me and I'll ask nothing more
Please do this for me, and I will give you the world

Felt Like a Lifetime
03:07
|
|
||
I've seen angels ascending
And I've felt the lapse of all time
And I wonder is there a meaning
That I can't seem to find
Take these tired spirits
And keep them safe tonight
While we flood this room with tears
Bathed in soulless light
I've seen heaven ascending
I've seen the end of the line
Nine days to strip the soul from a man
The ninth day felt like a lifetime

Latchkey
06:16
|
|
||
I remember that house in the valley
On the edge of the woods, at the end of the alley
A faded blue center of the universe
Reflected in two views
A violet western sunset
And a northern streetlight satellite's
Artificial glow in the night
Coming home to an empty house in the hollow
I wasn't alone but it rarely felt so
There I planted a garden of black clouds
That will bloom throughout my life
And I fell in with loners and dissidents
Any latchkey kid who dreamed
Of leaving a town that held them down
Every summer, like some kind of ritual
Walking in circles for hours to break the lull
Getting lost in worlds of our creation
To escape what lay ahead
The years went by, we got together for the last time
But nobody knew then, and nobody remembers when
Discolored photographs and memories
Are all that survived the years
Even as hard as I hold on, they too will surely someday disappear
I remember when the changing of seasons carried meaning
Beyond a passing of time, and its ever-growing sting
Something happens that changes our courses
Something woven into what makes this real
A bitter taste of unstoppable forces
Erode the ability to feel
Still I remember that house in the valley
And I remember a happier reality
That faded blue center of the universe
Is so far from me now

Our Last Cabaret
04:40
|
|
||
So it's another long and lonely night
And you've got no one to talk to
No one to cry to
No one at all
Do you drown all your sorrows
Do you try again tomorrow
Do you throw it away
Or leave it for another day, saying:
"It'll be alright
If I can make it through, if I live through this night
It'll be okay
If I can make it through one more cabaret"
Now it's the end of the road
And you've got nothing to say
Nothing to gain
And nothing to hide
Nothing ever lasts
Now I'm living in the past
And I'm here to stay
I'm waiting for another day, saying:
"It'll be alright
If we can make it through, if we live through this night
It'll be okay
If we can make it through one more cabaret"
It'll be okay
If we can make it through our last cabaret
