Track Name: Arrows In Her - Sunlit Hallways
talking about growing up, as time has passed, there is still the past i am running from.

you'll never know where i'm coming from, all friends go missing.
i'll never know, because our paths never crossed again, because they rarely stick through 'til the end.

we'll never speak again is what repeats in my head.

by the way you were looking down, and then you walked away all alone.
now you're on your own.

i fear to write that all the fiction fits.
i read it,but the ending was too long.
onto your next fix,and you never made it out.

by the way, they found your body. i hope you're some place, fulfilled and happy.
Track Name: Cloud Gavin - Posture
It’s the hole that was made in my heart from the mistakes that I’ve made, from everything that I’ve lost to everything that I’ve gained.
It’s my friends I want to try and keep close, but lack of conversation formulates them all into ghosts.
It’s the cave that was made of my chest formed by the long nights of thought from everything I want, to everything that I’m not.
It’s the love I want to keep in my heart, but lack of motivation seems to rip them apart.
It’s the girls that I honestly loved, but never took it that far, because thought with my head and should of thought with my heart.
It’s the things that I’d preferably change, but there’s no changing the past and I’m only to blame.
It’s the memories haunting all of my dreams, like there’s a message beneath.
I tried to dig up the dead, but the words got stuck in my teeth.
It seems I’ve lost all of my touch, or maybe it’s because I’m shallow and enough is never enough.

I don’t want to be this way forever, I know there’s more than meets the eye. Can you feel it now? Can you feel it now?
I can’t shake this feeling out of me. Though my bones are strong, my lungs can’t breathe. Can you feel it now? Can you feel it now?

I’ve come a long way back from where I was before, all I want is some fucking change, can you blame me for wanting so much more?
I will open up like it’s my last day home. I know what I do, and I do it well, I do it so well.

It’s not where you are, it’s who you’re with. (I’m calling you out) It’s not what you have, it’s what you make with it. (because I need to know)

Sink, oh how I sink.
There’s an anchor wrapped around my neck and dragging me beneath.
I called you out like the storm in the sky, then you poured out an ocean’s worth of despondency.
Cut me loose, make it clean, make the whole damn world collapse in disbelief.
Forget the past, don’t let it show, just accept the fact you fucked things up and let it go.

Track Name: Eyes Wide - Derailleur
I tried to pick your face out from that dying crowd but it seems those eyes that used to shine can’t even hold a candle to the light these days have all changed how did it get to the point where I cringe every time I hear your name believe me it weighs on my chest at night and I still think it’s strange to me how time can eat away I tried to say something relevant like it'd matter to the ones around you who let their dreams all rot to shit I never claimed I’d ever get the chance to change my fucking life but at least I tried and I’m getting better now
Track Name: Gatherer - Brittle Bones
I'll stop blaming myself when all my actions equal up to my heart and I can find the room to breathe. At least I have a sense of self, and I'm not afraid of change. I've seen the strangest places and they're crying out my name. I have a sense of self, so there's no one else to blame. I've seen the kindest faces and rememnber all their names. I've felt just how you feel, close if not the same. If you're lucky to have a lover let your walls dissipate. I have a sense of self, and I'm not afraid of pain. These ambitions on my shoulders will put me in my grave.
Track Name: Lakota De Kai - Ray Brower, My Friend
Let It be,
to all ears free
that our swollen mouths
produce stale heat, and they're trying
to keep their hands warm but they can't because
they're laid down without matches a smoke to culture passion. Let this be my last chance to say to you, I want to thank all the friends that I still have left, because the only thing that's gotten me by were empty promises. All those years I lied, all those years I didn't realize. I was built for this, I was built to fall, I've dressed my name in ignorance I was lead to crawl on my belly like earthworms, oh were food for birds, I feel the worst has turned. Our stomachs churn, churn.

If I lost my mind would I still find you by my side; If anyone but you'd understand all those words I write, and if I withered like an old soul would you be there Hell or cold?

Because If I lost my wits I'd think I'd get a better sense to the fact that what we love is something that we shouldn't forget.

Long, let it sing.
ahh rot in your own
right through the band.

You'r my flint for the spark holding hands with you
"blind folded in the dark"
Would you trust me if I told you my name.
If your left for the dead, servants bite atcha leg's.
I'll be sure to drag you six feet underground.

Hubris for my company,
curious why they I keep.
"Alittle louder now."
Whenever we burn
our over minded loves to blame
the grace thats been stolen from the
secrets in our mattress to our terrible
beloved ones that keep from us.

We all hope you crash and burn.
Track Name: This Is Your Life - Arrivals And Departures
Nothing stays the same
For very long, with heavy hearts, we carry on
We reminisce, we criticize, we self-destruct and swallow pride
We lay awake, all through the night, we contemplate, then apologize
Those words meant more than you could know

Just like arrivals and departures, we come and go so soon
If I can bite my tongue, can we pretend that you can too?
For just tonight I’ll forgive but not forget all of these wounds
Would you do the same? If I asked the same of you?
Just for tonight

You set me up, I took the fall
When I needed you, you forgot your role
These memories, I’ll recreate
This bitterness, it will not fade
Time has passed, strive to move on
Anchors aweigh, into the sun
I’ll let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Fuck no I won’t

Prepare to make that mistake again
Each time, you let, someone in
Prepare to feel that sting again
Every beginning leads to an end
Track Name: Arrows In Her - Being And Nothingness
that's when you realized that you were on your own,
with nothing but a bottle and and an overcoat.
you’d give anything to feel at home.

stayed at the overpass. you prayed just to rest your knees.

no time for dreams. you cant sleep but thats quite alright.
we all thought that you were dead.

when you last wrote, you had said when we last spoke, that you felt dead...

“summers were wonderful, i can’t help thinking that they’ve grown stagnant, so depleted, and so down and out.
when they sky feels like its falling
and my soul is so much further than here.
when i wake up, i find a place to push it and pull it.
it’s too cold to sleep in here.all you know is, when you’ve hollowed out your own chest, there is nothing there.”
Track Name: Cloud Gavin - Masquerade
Do you feel suspense?
Rushing through your veins, like you’re feeling so expedient.
Feeling like your boundaries have no walls to comprehend.

If you’re feeling good, then keep the feeling going.
If they’re feeling good, then work your way into their heart,
Even though love’s on your mind, you can’t lose your proper thought.
Sink the weight of all your wishful thinking and foster all the things we’ve brought.

Let’s get lost,
Lose our minds and fill the voids that we’ve all got.
No comparative thoughts, just our bodies and our hearts .

If you’re feeling good, then keep the feeling going.
If they’re feeling good, then work your way into their heart,

Even though love’s on your mind, you can’t lose your proper thought.
Sink the weight of all your wishful thinking and foster all the things we’ve brought.
Because you can’t afford a miscalculation or a secondary path,
Think of all the things we gave to get here and all the things we need to get back.

Don’t be the anchor around my ankle.
Don’t be the ball on the chain.
Don’t be the ship without a rudder
Sure as hell, Don’t be the cause of the blame.

You, you make me weak.
Just weak enough to lose my train of thought and the words I speak
So I, will give in to you
At least enough to get you out of that dress and off of those shoes.
You, I know you well.
At least enough to know you can’t keep your lonely hands all by themselves for tonight.
But you, you don’t know me well,
But you know enough about the void you’re going try to fill for tonight.


Track Name: Eyes Wide - When It's Raining
I know nothing and I don’t pretend to think I do I’m a little kid trapped in the skin of the man who’s standing next to you you’re quiet watching the sun rise between connecting flights an hour spent, silent, tired, and staring at the sky and I should really get off my hands and knees but I think that’s when things tend to resonate the best in this town that only holds me back I take everything you say with a grain of salt to cope with empty promises the first time in my life I can finally see the world for what it really is a jumble of colors and a blur is all you said but you were concentrating then on defining things you never thought I understood but I’m coming clean because I never really could so bury me standing I want to keep my head up when I’m gone so I can be closer to the sun and to the things that kept me warm so bury me standing it’s hard to think that this is all that’s left and I guess I never really thought about it then
Track Name: Gatherer - Wedding Bells
It's five A.M wake up and smell the disappointments. It's clear to me you've made your choice again. It's clean cut, routine, brown paper bag. I can't blame you cause I've never walked in your shoes. Driving home from your nine to five, I hope you reminisce the front seats and sounds that made you feel alive. Is this all that I have left? Was it the all-night, silent fights with your extra baggage? With your back straight through the door, I swear I'm doing fine. Dear brother, where have you been these days? I swear its been years. Dear brother, I'm never coming back. My new lover, you have my back and all my heart and your best intentions on my mind.
Track Name: Lakota De Kai - Chet Steadman's Perfect Game
Excuse me Where's my manners?
I was caught, fucked & framed.
I swear you have the wrong person,
Love is my disease.
She's evil, pure evil lips taste of smoke & shame
I was trudging in a bayou,
bound for glory
laid to waste.

Shapeshifter, claws or nails,
Why didn't I notice the signs that were showing.
So I lunged for the car &
BAM! What do you know...
She ripped out the spark
that should fill in my heart "Come on start!"
Run as fast as you can
a calamity ballroom, quick
now can we dash
from this dance.

"This is gonna be a long night"

Repent, Repent! I can't she's got my tail
between my leg's

I'm behind, hanging by a thread from the enemy line.
Yea you, so close I can still feel you breathing down my throat.

My instincts have devolved,
Little white lies.
Our superiors will murder us
"Devolve our faith"
No wings to fly

High water above, shots
brought by demons
down below.
You seem to shake pressure well
"Yea"
Screaming my name,
Yelling my pain.
It's unfortunate to see you go.
"Life's a garden dig it."
Track Name: This Is Your Life - The Wall
Smashed out the windows in my room
Taped up the broken glass, I’m taping up myself too
Cracked all my records, put fists through walls
Flipped all bookcases, now I’ve got room to grow

Living life for the mystery, I’m just like you, I’m just like you
Trying so hard to cut free, I’m just like you, I’m just like you
I’ve been feeling so low, I’m just like you, I’m just like you
Like I’ve got no place left to go, I’m just like you, I’m just like you

If this is it, then I fucking quit

When you feel like you’re going nowhere, understand that I’m going nowhere too
When you feel like your ship is sailing, sometimes, I feel the same way too
Just like you

Months turn into years turn into decades

Did you know? Did you think that?
You would hit the wall so soon?

Oh how the years, slip by
