Muck
02:45

A stagnant lake of sorts
drained three feet from the water line that marks the shore
Reflecting nothing more
than murky water with a past of no rain showers
Swimming in the lake can turn you to stone
Down the stream the river's clean
The water's cool so dip your feet in
Stay a while oh sweet child
I know you wear the bravest face of them all
I've gone swimming and got lost in the muck
Now I'm sinking deeper and deeper
deeper and deeper
Swimming in the lake can turn you to stone
Swimming in the lake can swallow you whole
Down the stream the river's clean
The waters cool so dip your feet in
Stay a while oh sweet child
I know you wear the bravest face of them all
Lie, will I calcify
or will I coalesce like water droplets
Swimming in the lake will turn you to stone
Swimming in the lake will swallow you whole

Too Blue
04:11
|

Thinking about the way that I can not feel anything anymore
I’m so caught up and nothing is enough
Kneeling clouded with my head down in the sand
Settling for comfortably dumb and numb
The sun burns now but me I'm burning out
Why can’t I sleep at night?
Am I too over tired?
Or too scared to try?
Something in the way of how I carry myself
Has the tales and they tell I’m losing grip on my health
They tell I’m losing grip on health
Why can’t I sleep at night?
Am I too over tired?
Or too scared to try?
Why can’t I see the sky?
Is it too blue for my eyes?
Am I too blue for these guys?

So Cold
02:32
|

Could you please give me the specifics
If you’re looking for something different
Now I’ve got no time to borrow
And I can’t wait on tomorrow
I’m blind, you’re fine and hollow,
So shallow
Snow falls, it’s so cold, you’re so cold
Too damn cold for my hands to hold
Snow falls, it’s so cold you’re so damn cold
Frozen still, I sit in my sorrow
My blue lips are too numb to swallow
Shaking in my boots when I saw you
Slip and fall again if I follow
Frozen still, I sit in my sorrow
My blue lips are too numb to swallow
Slip and fall again if I follow
I'm always shaking
Snow falls, it’s so cold, you’re so cold
Too damn cold for my hands to hold
Snow falls, it’s so cold you’re so damn cold
Snow falls, it’s so cold, you’re so cold
Like flakes down my shirts when it snows
Snow falls, it’s so cold you’re so damn cold

Air to Breathe
03:19
|

Following through with every excuse I make
I'm such a flake
When I'm forfeiting to the pulse of my head quake
Give me a break
In the dark I sit inside
Robbed of a normal life
Crawling on the floor praying for an escape
I'm so fake
When I'm wasting my time on everything I hate
I'm such a snake
In the dark I sit inside
Robbed of a normal life
Am I troubled? What is haunting me?
A spectacle of shaken skull, throbbing full of thin veins
screaming for some air to breathe
Is it hopeless? Am I damned to this?
I want to wake up without a fucking headache one day
Open the blinds, let the light bleed into me.
Following with every excuse I make
Following through with every excuse I make
I'm such a flake

Family Home
03:20
|

Barely made it out by the skin of my teeth
I guess that goes to show my way of planning things
Barely made it out but we're living damn free
Out to make it on my own
'Cause I don't have space to grow
Stuffed in these shrunken clothes
The seams are split this belt won't hold
But I'm ready to bury them with my bones
Behind my family home
Barely made it out by the skin of my teeth
'Cause money runs the world
But money don't run me
Barely made it out
'Cause I don't have space to grow
Stuffed in these shrunken clothes
The seams are split this belt won't hold
But I'm ready to bury them with my bones

Left in a Hurry
02:52
|

You left in a hurry but didn’t say why
You left in a hurry it was such a surprise
The bags beside you the keys in your hand
You left in a hurry with no sense of plans
You left in a hurry with nowhere to go
You left in a hurry didn’t think it would snow
Your breath on the windshield
The blur of the night
The sheer disappointment that you left in their eyes
Interrogations always end exactly where they begin
Keep it all tucked inside
Don’t answer questions like
Where you going?
What you doing with your life?
Where you going?
Where will you sleep at night?
You left in a hurry but made it to late
For the daily appointment with all of the snakes
They’re wrapping around you to blur out the lights
Of all of the fires that melt in your eyes
Interrogations always end exactly where they begin
Keep it all tucked inside
Don’t answer questions like
Where you going?
What you doing with your life?
Where you going?
Where will you sleep at night?
Where you going?
What you doing with your life?
Where you going?
Off with the Gypsies in the night
