Flat on my back
Give in to the silence
Relax
for the darkness
Stay calm and
Sink at your leisure
In a drifting self conscious
In a mind so eager to
Rewind
So eager to resolve
The lies it spewed
The ones that stung
The bitter taste on a thousand tongues
I always loathe this part
All the disconnection
The apparitions in the air
The whispers in the distance
Only seconds till we're
Gathering our thoughts
For a trip down memory lane
Haunting in the cleverest ways
Tearing through page after page
It's a way to lie to myself
About getting better
A melody bound to lose its luster
Weak flame in a chamber
Disconnection
The apparitions in the air
The whispers in the distance
Only seconds till we're
Digging up bones so unaware
Grave digging for bodies
As our time ticks down
Gathering our thoughts
For a trip down memory lane
Haunting in the cleverest ways
Tearing through page after page
It's a way to lie to myself
About getting better
A melody bound to lose its luster
Weak flame in a chamber
Bound to lose its luster
Weak flame in a chamber

Awake to find I'm not awake at all
A cold room with no walls
And deafening echoes
All alone
All alone
All alone
In a place I'm all too accustomed
Bright light, silent
Lose track of time in an instant
Lose myself along the way
So still, no breeze
Indefinite time to breathe
Indefinite time spent pondering
So honestly
Have you been like me
Navigating vivid dreams
Lucid and everything
Caught in a sleep routine
Still wide awake
A sleep routine I just can't shake
After a lifetime
I've come home
To be the ghost in my shadows
The wind blows and a calling card finally shows
The crickets sing
To the crick in the swing
And we're guided through memory waste
So honestly
Have you been like me
Navigating vivid dreams
Lucid and everything
Caught in a sleep routine
Still wide awake
A sleep routine I just can't shake
Bright light, silent
Lose track of time in an instant
Lose myself along the way
So still, no breeze
Indefinite time to breathe
Indefinite time spent pondering

So, here we are
Ripping in to faded scars
Taking shots at who I am
I am so damn worthy of them
Taking shots
Trading blows
Weak at heart and it shows
We're evergreens
We stay the same
We traveled all this way, we do it all in vain
We do it all for
Fucking nothing
Maybe I never left
Still trapped inside a thought process
It's a way out for the weak and the discouraged
Or so you lead me to think
Maybe we had lost our way
And we stole oxygen from a flame
Remember an ember can
Set your world ablaze
If you don't choose carefully you might lose
More than you gain
These debts you can't repay
So, here we are
Ripping in to faded scars
Taking shots at who I am
I'm so damn worthy of them
Taking shots
Trading blows
Weak at heart and it shows
Were evergreens
We stay the same
Taking shots
Trading blows
Weak at heart and it shows
We're evergreens

Storms off to the west
Speak up there's thunder in the distance
The wood beneath our feet joins the crickets in their plea
Walking away from me
A dose of my own concoction
But you can't leave
Bound to me in this dimension in-between
We are the architects and the arsonists
The ones who conjured and deceived
Last seen in the autumn room, fleeing
There's a reason why
Why we return
Why we return
To irrelevance
There's a reason why
Why we return
Why we return
Robed in disguise
Redemption
Unfulfilled
Expectations
Nulled
Bound to me in this dimension in-between
We are the architects and the arsonists
The ones who conjured and deceived
Last seen in the autumn room, fleeing
Their destination
Never knowing The autumn room won't burn
The autumn room won't burn
Untouched for inevitable return
Flames with hate to last
Speak up there's sirens in the distance
Relax I have no doubt we're on the next train home
If we even survive
If we're even alive
If we haven't been dragged back
By father time's knife
Maybe this will be the last one
Of these polar opposite intentions
Locomotives and their own discretion
Maybe this will be the last one
We'll get away with everything
Bound to me in this dimension in-between
We are the architects and the arsonists
The ones who conjured and deceived
Last seen in the autumn room, fleeing
Their destination
Never knowing
The autumn room won't burn
The autumn room won't burn
Untouched for inevitable return

Red Flags

Ten fold, toward another disaster
Lost hope, all sense of laughter
And now I groove to the vibrations
Beneath my feet, and all those queezy feelings
Ten fold to another day in the week
End mind of mine
So disconnected
Out of place
And out of time
I'm so out of time
Fast forward
To a little bit of decency
The moment I sense a slow in the frequency
Fast forward
Flat on my back in a train car
Counting how many inconsistencies there were
Think of all of the people
Every bone you assured lost
Think of all the people
The ones who quit giving a fuck
These are red flags
Soaked in their blood
We bathe all night
These are wars we make
So we can calm ourselves
We ignore the noise
It's slowly deafening now
It's slowly deafening now
It's slowly deafening love
Fast forward
To a little bit of decency
The moment I sense a slow in the frequency
Fast forward
Flat on my back in a train car
Counting how many inconsistencies there were
Think of all the people
Every bone you assured lost
Think of all the people
The ones who quit giving a fuck
These are red flags
You ignorant fuck
