Anhedonia 04:40
when the sun has all burnt out and the final spark has left your eyes a shadow of what used to be will take it's place behind the blinds disillusioned, disconnected this is just the start anhedonia has her hooks in deep into your heart a body in motion sets the stage a body at rest never gets paid a body adrift just floats alone at least if you're numb, you're not afraid so you live with this infection you learn to play the part anhedonia has her hooks in she will tear you apart disillusioned, disconnected this is just the start anhedonia has her hooks in deep into your heart

Retail 05:02
empty moves... empty mind waste the days… daily grind march the merch... spread the vibe sell your fate... join the hive chain the blood... drain the life commonplace... hypnotized tend the flock... twist the knife pseudo slave... in disguise they will chew you up and do it with a smile they will spit you out and do it with a smile fit the mold... frame the lies logic fails… once inside boost morale... bottom line formulaic... homogenized say hello, how are you doing today? i must honor thy consumer treat me like shit 'cause I get a shit wage it would be my pleasure empty moves... empty mind waste the days... daily grind march the merch... spread the vibe sell your fate... join the hive they will chew you up and do it with a smile they will spit you out and do it with a smile

Fever Scene 03:54
tie the future up we're moving backwards into a black hole lies are foolish bluffs your proof has proven useless after all i'm such a fixer-upper choosing the wrong words paper or permanent? i should've learned my lesson focus on the rent it was my best defense misguided confidence the brooding, wasted nights became my life...  but now i'm sick of the fever scene time to pick right up where we went wrong still stuck in a standoff i lost the magic somewhere always a mess, turn my head and cough now i need a dose of southern lights in northern comfort that missing piece of the puzzle i never could afford this is my last attempt secret ingredients the sweetness laced with strife it saved my life...  but now i'm sick of the fever scene

she likes to wear winter clothes in the summertime she likes to play "bottle up and explode!" she likes to get bloody noses and then dance them dry she likes to stay up all night and it shows she likes it all or nothing he likes to say shocking shit just to cross the line he likes to fuck with your mind as a joke he likes to paint amazing pictures, then throw 'em in the fire he likes to fill up his heart with smoke he likes it all or nothing uh huh, we like it all or nothing

Quixotic 03:26
on a whim and on a mission to prove that chivalry ain't dead you don't know what you are missing stick to business management call it fickle, call it fashion call it whatever you want, my friend just don't ever lose the passion while you're sifting though the sand quixotic… quixotic… big haze, i'm in love with the maze full of hope and full of wonder a live wire in denial i just wish i could remember all the good that eclipsed at night always searching for adventure never satisfied with black and white but it seems like i'm indentured to the skeletons i hide quixotic… quixotic… big haze, i'm in love with the maze don't spend your life in the womb quixotic… quixotic… big haze, i'm in love with the maze

Sequin Days 05:48
and if your mind has come undone then just find a setting sun to throw some beams upon your face but if the hill becomes a hole evacuate your frazzled soul and find relief in a different place 'cause if you linger for too long it'll wear out like a favorite song that's lost it's gleam from too much play the sequin days are almost gone for good and if your fire's dwindling then just find some new kindling to catch the spark and set it free but if the smoke has grown too thick for your lazy lungs the sickness made it's mark just try and breathe so when the time has come to rest and you settle in the west this chapter's done, put it to sleep the sequin days are almost gone for good

some secrets have a grave at the bottom of the lake the neighbors are growing angry and the bridge is wearing thin we better plot a course for our escape another generation fades hit the snooze button and wait the less you say the better isn't that what they always say? now let's get ready for the parade this is the last fucking dance of the caveman you are not what you own like Ian said before you will reap what you sow oh no, oh no, oh no this is the last fucking dance of the caveman this is your last fucking chance

memories come and memories go some stay young and some grow old the tide has changed, the ebb has flown now don't forget what you have known every new rotation leaves us further apart and every conversation seems to break my heart but every constellation is made of shooting stars that found their home you know i hate to let you down my willpower is wearing out i think you need a thicker skin uh oh, here we go again every new rotation leaves us further apart and every conversation seems to break my heart but every constellation is made of shooting stars that found their home all the dreams and all the gold could never really fill the hole distance makes the heart grow cold but i just can't let go every new rotation leaves us further apart and every conversation seems to break my heart but every constellation is made of shooting stars that found their home and i wanna go home

Iceberg 04:20
this ship is sinking... i believe that there's hope for this world but i've little faith in the stars and stripes what good is a good credit score if you can't even sleep at night? we can forge ahead to a new dawn we can learn from the mistakes of our past we can take control or be the pawn but we better do something fast this ship is sinking... it's hard to think of the greater good when you struggle just to get by yourself there's no sense in staying the course if it leads us straight to hell i can faintly hear a distress call through all the static in my head i would say, "hang on for dear life" but it feels like we're already dead this ship is sinking...

Swandive 07:08
when you sleep through the morning when you shake through the night when you do what it takes just to survive when your troops are returning when you fight the good fight when you swallow your pride and take a dive it just feels like it don't mean a thing anymore it just feels like it don't mean a thing... when the truth is uncovered when the stars are aligned when the boundaries have finally been defined when the world is a spiral set in graceful decline at least it'll all be recorded on satellites 'cause it feels like it don't mean a thing anymore it just feels like it don't mean a thing...
