Post Hiatus 04:20
Forest floor solitude, let them know it’s fucking rude Angered over talking smooth, swear to you it’s always true Mashing closer to my fate, I’ll find another proper place The end of apes engaging stray, wild never passed away Stagger to mumble light a blade, cut it I'll love it anyway Gouge my eyes out from my skull, consider unfaithful crosses show Subtle mind, tear out mine Blend in shine, scramble dive Back for brand to wear, it’s scandalous Stand on back, represent stacks Gut your shell on my wall Somewhere since seeing trip to our soul, caught fire by cancel, way to uphold Stacked outside my luster crawl, it’s shattered and it’s all my fall Test off, shin split, hanging in thin lift Shot on top to see mountain space, jump back down catch me face to face

Can't fight this pressure building up inside my chest Sweating out discomfort, fighting instant disgrace What matters most to me is who, not where, I want to be It’ll get sloppy, cop end breathe My self control has ruined me Abstract matches that rip apart the dreams I've exploded piece by piece What matters the most to me is who, not where I want to be It’ll get sloppy, cop end breathe My self control has ruined me If I can be the one All I am is my weaknesses

The Beach 04:46
Justified, antagonized, fearing contempt that lies behind your smile Extort compliment, become brusque Terrify the atlas Frame suspicious trace Underlying motives match, displaced Energetic for my sake Linger for a kiss, slouch Catch a dirty stare All I ask is break my heart, be fair Near time I spent thought, each second spared in space Truth found itself spelled in boxes entered your face Met with pleasant exchange Excitement never meant this much to me Like you, I'm a liar, too Tremors freeze remind Stacked against the grain I fall in strain Trek into, the woods follow you Each word means less than the last Excuses are the only thing you have Light, I followed blindly Brighten me, sacrifice me Enter into despair Allure was my solidified rise Maybe I can lock your gaze Stare into me

Lifelines breathing empathy, I'm salty but bemused These guilty hands can't make amends, with robots, tie my noose I kiss the ground to see your mouth, everyone is inside out Suffer shudder bend to whims, I only stand to lose Yesterday you found my pills hidden in your couch I took them all, backflipped all the way to oak tree's blouse My matter don’t mind and my mind don’t matter, caustic smack stammer blacklist lift and jam All my time is spent wasting away, contradistinction of progress made I live in a world of unrealities I’ve got this syndrome that enables me to see through walls, but mine are built up high enough no one sees through at all Come back to spend, bring apes amend, map your mind, overextend Dig and smell the rotting stench of shame your sins expel I punched paradise straight in its face Intoxicated by the smell of anger in the air Left for dead in stranger ends with altitude impaired Bring all your friends, tell them that I can cure your AIDS Best to note that everyone is staring at your legs Swirling down into the mist, I’ll fall until I drown in this Like an eagle earns his wings I’ll take the leap and meet my fate The world’s gone mad and I’m upset my face is getting dry Now our plan is realized, the football player dies I should forgive myself for murders that I dream Once again my heart has failed me, cuts rip at the seam

The Lotus 05:17
Backlash stabs at vowel cross vague threat, assign blind it’s getting fine, it’s getting fine Bring strap made out of crack, scamper black altar brat, majesty’s the best to me, sew staff bloods boil Somewhere caught up in the wind, the angels throw their wings at hands Sweet sick. Touch, kiss. Riding high, a gentle killer Unprepared and getting scared is what my life’s about, but how I can and how I’m bland don’t mix well with my doubt I won’t be a real hero, just a nameless state with breaks in mind, for finding drivers of emotions, maybe they might manage mine Filled insane, I babble blame. All branded suffer, waiting game. Mimic mountain, fear contempt, I stutter process how I dress Throwing anger through my mouth, in hope that structure might come out, won’t admit it’s not my own, follow bloody mocking drone All the days I waste thus far only shake my falling stars, wave goodbye to happiness, I’m bitter now, have always been Lost control of my best friend, strange sensation never ends. How far does this have to go before the crash that takes me home? Disregard that subtle moan, nothing matters anymore Don’t speak again, put it through a wall, I'll see you at my festival
