The Man in Blue
03:15

The man in blue is out for you
His eyes are floating in his head
Stagnant and dead; soon you’ll be there too
Two tired eyes in the race
He has countless to save
His collection is boundless
Adds to his face
He’s on your back
Picking up the slack
Lacking self-identity
His mask dissolved in entropy
He seeks order in disarray
Inhuman logic
Wheels and headlights point ahead
On his way no goal in sight
You’ll always see him in the night
He’s in your bed
The man in blue is out for you
The man in blue is out for you
The man in blue is out for you
The man in blue is out for you
He’s on your back
Picking up the slack

Taking On
03:34

Another day, another stone, in the puddle that’s my mind
Building walls of ice ‘round my eyes
Try to peer through you can’t see what’s within
It’s becoming of me to conceal it in lies
It’s becoming of me to conceal it in lies
Crystallizing blatantly
So divine tranquility
Stopgap measures need dissolve
Alterations to evolve
To evolve
Slow pace long strides leave diffidence behind
Cross the threshold back to find
Liberation at the fall of his rise
At the fall of his rise
Taking on epiphanies
Solidifying certainties
Today she whispers words so soft
I’d rather be taking off
Taking off
I’d rather be taking off

Headstone
02:52

Oh, mother iris
Please send me home
Tilt my head back, and pour the water down my throat
Oh, mother iris
How heavy are my eyelids?
Take us to our headstone
Scarlet eyes peer through this thin veneer
They yearn to see ourselves through this veil so clear
Relax your eyes
The moments scream past
Feel it come on
They may frighten to the core
Embrace our day, but trust they will pass
For soon you’ll be gone
You’ve always been here before
Scarlet eyes peer through this thin veneer
They yearn to see ourselves through this veil so clear

Slave
03:11

2 AM jazz
Sleep on the train
And she’s there
It’s the moment in disguise
Fleeting are the days gone by
And I feel her
Getting further everyday
But in my heart, I’m her slave
She is my life
But not my bride
And I won’t feel free
Without her by my side
Minutes have passed
Not long till he wakes
But he’s here
Living in the days gone by
I know in my soul he can escape
The pleasures
Of yesterday
But every time he turns his
Back to me
We fall out of
Synchronicity
(The dream is ending)
Be with me
(The dream is ending)
Why are you leaving
(The dream is ending)
Where are you going
(The dream is ending)
Just keep dreaming
(The dream is ending)
The dream is over

Inquire Within
04:12
|
|||
|
Trading my clock away
A fight against the tide awaits
Seasons pass but still I stand
An instant’s past, scars my hand
Rising skin, I feel again
A crisis felt in all of man
Born and dreamed, we tantalize
Inherited
Inherent, in our eyes
Oh, another day in the race
There will never be a place
Reserved for our leisure
Just another day in the race
Inquire within for your place
Every night when you try and sleep
You’ll find the lids of your eyes don’t meet
Your brain and your mind collide
When thinking of things you can’t find
Back and forth
I shift my weight
Nervously
Across my nape
Tie a knot
Look in the mirror
To see a note
Let in fear
Fracturing a sealed wound
Cascading out, the rhythm round
Voyage in the early morning
Drop a stone into the boring
Oh, another day in the race
There will never be a place
Reserved for our leisure
Just another day in the race
Inquire within for your place
Every night when you try and sleep
You’ll find the lids of your eyes don’t meet
Your brain and your mind collide
When thinking of things you can’t find
And when I grow tired of laying alone
I’ll find my thoughts eclipse your own

Walls of Ice
03:30
|

|
Cross the threshold to the walls of ice
See your breath, feel the hair start to rise
He’s in the corner; dirty greasy spies
Don’t give him a look you’ll just give him a rise
Cross the threshold to the walls of eyes
Leering, fearing, nameless sweet surprise
He’s in the corner, crying frozen lies
Don’t give him a look you’ll just give him a rise
Trip, fall, now you’re mine
Trip, fall, now you’re mine
Trip, fall, now you’re mine
Trip, fall, now you’re mine
Trip, fall, now you’re mine
Trip, fall, now you’re mine
Cross the threshold to the walls of ice
See your breath, feel your hair start to rise
He’s in the corner; dirty greasy spies
Don’t give him a look, you’ll just give him a rise
Trip, fall, now you’re mine
Trip, fall, now you’re mine
Trip, fall, now you’re mine
Trip, fall, now you’re mine
Trip, fall, now you’re mine
Trip, fall, now you’re mine

Taking Off
02:37
|
|||
|
The only thing changed is me
I wonder how long
To notice I’m not the same
They’d never get to know
And I’ve moved so quick
While standing still
Forget about what’s next
For now
Don’t rush it; slow down
I’d rather be taking off
(I’d rather be taking off)
I’d rather be taking off
(I’d rather be taking off)
I’d rather be taking off
(I’d rather be taking off)
I’d rather be taking off
(I’d rather be taking off)
And I’ve moved so quick
While standing still
Forget about what’s next
For now
Don’t rush it; slow down

Today
04:15
|

|
Today calls out to me like a lover in my bed
She speaks so softly and I heed her every word
The fear comes over me when I think of the end
Tomorrow seems so short when yesterday has yet to begin
But I can’t win
Or so it seems
She only calls to me in dreams
And the future
Just seems so far away
Dreary eyes look at the clock so unforgivingly
There must be more to me than just slippin’, wasting away
No need to run around at the speed of a train
A thousand miles per hour is faster than you think
And so, I sink
Into this chair
I hear her whisper in my ear
That the future
Is nothing like today

Fever Dream
02:40
|
|||
|
All our time we spend by the dollar
Never one over off the books
Chasing that symbol, oh for a while now
Living off our status and our looks
Counting my dreams to find consistencies
I’ve discovered nothing
But my deficiencies and epiphanies they're all make believe
In this fever dream
We call our neighbors friends
But who are we?
Alone is all; I only see my computer screen
In the dark
Reading articles
And all are full
Of who is dead
And what was said
At the country’s head
We all, we’re born the same
But who are we?
To play the game?
I don’t know where were going next
But I know for sure
We’ll wear these scars when we knock on the door
The answer’s vague, but were getting paid in kind
At who’s expense was all this effort wasted in vain?

Morning Eyes
03:29
|
|||
|
Wake to rise
Wash the fire from my eyes
We were here before the sun
The moon says there is more to come
And when the times change around me
And I ask myself where can I be?
I look around
And find I’m dissociating
I might’ve found something
But I’m not sure this is it
And if the shoe fits just right
Well then step into the sunlight
And see yourself in the way
Invisible waves display your face
I might’ve found something
But I’m not sure this is it
The moon has set
And I’m still waning
My emotions beget
(silence)

Screens
04:27
|
|||
|
The screens are on in my head
But I can’t read the TV set
I don’t know what it says when the truth is masqueraded
These arms feel broken when they reel away loose illustrations
Depicting carbon effigies of error
Black red blue
White lies fall on deaf ears
Open your eyes
You’re not looking for a guide
Just for someone to hold your hand
And lead you away
There’s no incentive
No reason to conceive
Nothin’ to concoct
A judgement call on your life
You see yourself every day
When you wake
And when you walk
In others as they float down their own rivers
Never puzzled but intrigued
It all happens together
Let nature run its course
It’ll be hard for sure
But I’m sure
You’ll be you
In the end
A fresh coat of pain
Another year down and more to go
Taking it by the day makes it all slow down
You want to run
The screens are on
You want to run
The screens are on
