Misinformation Data corrupted Your memory has been interrupted The time for updates has passed Nothing ever lasts Circuits not pristine So many ghosts in the machine All the cycles are ending fast Nothing ever lasts Farewell my friend amygdala Will we meet again I can’t comprehend Data corrupted Your memory has been interrupted The time for updates has passed… Farewell my friend amygdala Will we meet again I can’t comprehend Farewell my friend amygdala Will we meet again Farewell my friend amygdala Will we meet again I can’t comprehend Disconnected Errors detected Will we meet again?

Gave It Up The alien gallery understood The magical arcana in Hollywood That came to serve the day Some things they must be changed Please Cut it, cut it out I’ve been pushed to the extreme And now I’m cutting out Tear it, tear it up I don’t care, there’s nothing there Because you gave it up You gave it up My failure on the march to love My confessor doesn’t judge I’m convicted anyway But I can spell and I can pray And stand to serve the day Some things must be maintained Please Cut it, cut it out I’ve been pushed to the extreme And now I’m cutting out Tear it, tear it up I don’t care, there’s nothing there Because you gave it up You gave it up My gathering of unrequited dreams Talk politics and popular memes But rise to the occasion Who knew these kids could be so brazen And stand to serve the day These dreams will be maintained Sing Cut it, cut it out I’ve been pushed to the extreme And now I’m cutting out Tear it, tear it up I don’t care, there’s nothing there Because you gave it up You gave it up I’d like some sunshine and a gentle spotless mind. I’d like to forget if I can’t rewind but I can’t, so I rearrange stories poems and lies. Tearing them all out so my voice can rise above my most recent failure to love

Drifting in and out of time The end’s where we begin Distraction from attraction Feigning love and faking sin Infection, no protection  Find another way Injection, resurrection  Pushing you away There is a new age dawning You paid the price to play There is a new age dying pay the price to pray Taking time there’s no end Feel alone again Nothing’s lost and nothing’s found There’s no home in sin There is a new age dawning You paid the price to play There is a new age dying pay the price to pray This is the day you wish you had another day This is the day you wish you had another way

Lights Out Lights Out Burn out Down and sobbing Down and out What you mean Ain’t what you dream. I watch you fail I watch you scream Maybe the moment to seize the day this tide is turning, but not your way. Now beat it dog Your light’s undone Find the strength to carry on And now the light’s out Burned out Down, down, down And out. Dog, Your light’s undone Find the strength to carry on And now the light’s out Burned out Down, down, down And out. Time out Gotta move out Your heart is breaking Your life’s in doubt. What you mean Ain’t what you dream. We  watch you burn We watch you scream Not for the moment Not for the day I see your lifeline drift away Now beat it dog Your light’s undone Find the strength to carry on And now the light’s out Burned out Down, down, down And out. Dog, Your light’s undone Find the strength to carry on And now the light’s out Burned out Down, down, down And out.

Dreary Heart Morning after tides Roses red Now the colors hide the sun will rise gray rain clouds bury pride Yellow fades deep in the dreary hearts justice shades deep in their dreary hearts deep in their dreary hearts Losing religion Bending aces of spades I see the fountain Just as memory fades Sinners prayed Deep in their dreary hearts Lovers laid Deep in their dreary hearts Yellow fades Deep in the dreary hearts Justice shades Deep in their dreary hearts Deep in the dreary hearts

Goodbye Let me go anguish if I remain trying to pursue repose in vain Perfect end That I long to obtain rescue me Release me from this Pain Take this vine and find the way again Follow the line Up, up and down again by design never to be again Goodbye goodbye goodbye Seek and find A tool to utilize Erase worlds That I don't recognize Lacerate And free me from this guise Satiate The thirst to euthanize Take this vine and find the way again Follow the line Up, up and down again by design never to be again Goodbye goodbye goodbye Bring an end To tainted lullabies Liberate These long lamenting eyes time has come And now I realize In my hands A new solution lies Take this vine and find the way again Follow the line Up, up and down again by design never to be again Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Keep yourself in line But let it out from time to time Take what’s yours and leave the rest If you know what’s best, for you Feeding time is over Step outside yourself and see Wait until you’re older and seen inside the willow tree Colors fading in the dark Waiting for some kind of spark Nothing’s lost and nothing’s gained Everything just stays the same Feeding time is over Step outside yourself and see Wait until you’re older and seen inside the willow tree Deconstruction of your production Breaking down all your seduction Holding on to all you stole Losing all control Leaving your fears behind you Feeding your fears inside you Feeding time is over Step outside yourself and see Wait until you’re older and seen inside the willow tree The end is near, so plead your plea You can’t hear and you can’t see Running away from everything while everything inside you sings

Bloodstained I was so lost in your eyes It’s so hard to survive When the light’s so far behind me Lost in dreams Where I breathe you in Where do I begin When it’s hard to live without you It’s so hard to live without you I’m bloodstained I’m shattered from the pain All I am are the broken remains I’m bloodstained I need to lose myself inside your soul I’m just broken remains I need to lose myself inside your soul I’m bloodstained I was only whole when I’m lost inside you Now I’m only lost in the pain bloodstained I’m bloodstained I’m shattered from the pain All I am are the broken remains All I am are the broken remains I need to lose myself inside your soul I need to find myself again Bloodstained

Every Time And the tears fall Like kings of old Their legacy lingers on Those bought and sold Delicate fingers Grasping truth And the revelation that kills me every time Breathless and bold Like pages in my mind Turning to the desolation That brings me home Every time

Thick as thieves Lost inside the shadows Frightened of the dark The pain of living in fear That I may fall apart Stronger than I think I am So I play my part Dancing for the monkey man Who rapes me of my heart Thick as thieves he embraces me A prison of another name Clawing at the light I see Then drawing back in pain Dance with me oh little one It’s time to play the game One more time I tell myself A silent scream in vain… Please don’t take my radiance Wash away the memory Clean me if the shame Walk beyond the voices Calling out my name Follow me my saviour Right back to the start Thick as thieves you say to me As you steal away my heart Please don’t take my radiance

White Flight Washed in white An eastward sprawl Flee the crime (for now) And leave behind some Good people Unwilling to give up on their home You left them alone Love or hate it We perpetuate it Love or hate it We keep this shit alive You wag your finger From your hill Your abandoned neighborhood never learns its worth And you smile while your taxes fund a public pool And all your alma mater gets is a brand new pool of blood If you were told all this time you didn’t matter, do you think you’d value life? If all you hear and see erased the truth of your history, Would you feel safe at night? You wouldn’t (love or hate it) feel like you had a reason to live at all No, no you wouldn’t (love or hate it) feel like you had a reason to live at all Watch it fall Love or hate it We perpetuate it Love or hate it We keep this shit alive Cut a slice outta me, seek humanity, the modern world is cheap plastic fantasy I consent a pilfered piece for your records, reimburse me but I expected better You see my past, the lightning strike encoded in my history, I’m a fucking modern mystery Revealed in sections like tree rings, tests reveal my cells are not conforming If I leave the South I accept defeat - conforming smells like rotting meat, so I stay And play by rules that give me leverage, god mode in a melanin marriage Arranged ancestors ago every time I hear a PSA the more I know the more I throw up in my mouth it’s everywhere, not just down south Love or hate it We perpetuate it Love or hate it We keep this shit alive

Opaque Write it in the blackest of ink, the one question that makes you think Opaque thought, absent of stars, stealing every beat of your heart Oooo dive into the opaque, dive into the opaque, dive into the opaque Cannot see you now, opaque will not allow, opaque within without, opaque is all around Seek solace in the opaque, where all is calm despite the wake Out of sight and out of mind, and everything is now undefined Oooo dive into the opaque, dive into the opaque, dive into the opaque, opaque is all around Cannot see you now, opaque will not allow, opaque within without, opaque is all around And there is calm in the opaque, and all is quiet in the opaque You don’t exist in the opaque, you cease to be in the opaque Oooo dive into the opaque, dive into the opaque, dive into the opaque, opaque is all around

A Slower Burning Candle They say that you should keep a friend. To help you with your little pills. In time you learn just to pretend. Before the funeral, its time that kills. A slower burning candle in the halls of your disdain. The pain of your longevity paints you madness grey. (So take it away) Just another wasted day. (So take it away) In the clouded visions of your world. (So take it away) I'd really like it if you'd stay. (So take it away) Then you could climb down to my shadow. Climb down to my shadow They'll force the field day far too far. You're in it for the ride so just get in the car. Shrouded by the fantasy of grandeur in the dark. Before the battles yet begun, your in the war.

The EИD Are we losing our beliefs?  Or just our abilities? Feelings over consequence You’re not making any sense All our rights turned to wrongs  No place left where we belong Turning over everything Don’t try to tell us what to think I'm alleging you're a legend in your own time Everything you've said and done was done with everyone in mind Is this the end?  Is there anything left of you? Does it matter what we do? Picking up the pieces  Of everything you’ve lost This is where you take control Of something deep inside you Keeping your promises alive your hope will never die I'm alleging you're a legend in your own time Everything you've said and done was done with everyone in mind Is this the end?  Is this the end?  Is this the end?  Is this the end?  The end of you and me?  The end of everything  Is this the end?  This is the end! Is this the end?  This is the end! Is this the end?  This is the end! Is this the end?  This is the end!

about

the concept of this album is tyring to learn to live with the stress and impossibilities that seem to pop up on a regular basis. people escape in different ways.

with so much insanity going on in the world, i'm sure we all are familiar with the sentiment portrayed in "I Kneed A Drink Did Eye"... for me, i had a great time collaborating with my friends in putting this collection together. please support these beautiful people in their musical endeavors:
