Frozen in Time
04:04

It started in the summer
And it lasted all through the fall
A yearning like no other
A fire burning deep in my soul
Thought I could hold it there forever
Swore I’d never let it go
I tried to keep it under cover
It just spilled all out of control
But in my mind
It’s frozen in time
It was a winter like no other
A darkness deeper than cold
I could still hear all the whispers
Of beautiful lies that we told
They didn’t last until the sunup
When springtime started to bloom
Now it’s all gone away forever
And only the shadows loom
But in my mind
It’s frozen in time

On and Off Again
03:57

Jagged rhythm of a stuttering core on catastrophe’s edge
Rapid pounding as the temperature spikes from emotional dredge
Terminal flickering flickering flickering phosphor and black
Pull the plug flip the breaker or there’s no coming back
Tun me on
Turn me off and then
Turn me on
And turn me off again
Tun me on
Turn me off and then
Turn me on
And never turn me off again
Cursor flashes while this system crashes and starts to reboot
Hacking slashes and strokes to screen flashes to get to the root
An error later from a careless operator it grinds to a halt
Rip the board out reformat and restore to default
Indicator indication contemplation inside of my head
Analysis paralysis initiated from factual dread
Processes deviated relegated terminated fated to give up the ghost
Melting down all around sirens sound as the trace leaves the host

Standing in the afterglow of the city
She used to glisten every night
But living through collapse of it all can be pretty unrefined
Our bodies dance by the dying light
My neon heart still blinks for you
A beacon in the darkness shining through
My neon heart still blinks for you
The pulse is quickening
As the night is thickening
Around you
Wading through the aftermath of decisions
erased by waves of a crashing mind
Washing over moonless streets casting visions never breached
darkness is the dialect of the blind
My neon heart still blinks for you
A beacon in the darkness shining through
My neon heart still blinks for you
The pulse is quickening
As the night is thickening
Around you

Chasing the Night
03:51
|

Stepping out in the dark
Your name on my tongue
These streets glow softly
But the night is still young
It gets to you
The ever grinding metro
It can happen so fast
When you’re moving too slow
With all our might
We’re chasing the night
Stepping under the lights
The weekend swan song
Your drink is fresh
But the mix is so strong
When it gets to you
The never ending spiral
What will you do
When you face your rival
With all our might
We’re chasing the night

Hits Like a Drug
04:14

It’s hard to imagine
Another day here in hell
So I’ll lay it all out there
I’m not doing so well
I need an injection
I’m lookin to score
cause I lost my connection
and I’m beggin for more
Give me heart that burns like a fire
Give me drive that bangs like a drum
Give me truth as deep as an ocean
Give me strength that rains from above
Give me aim that locks on a target
Give me faith that smokes like a gun
Give me hope that holds on forever
Give me love that hits like a drug
It’s so alienating
Out here on the skids
life in agony welcomes
What heaven forbids
I need an infusion
to steady the soul
I can’t take the delusion
and I’m losing control
Give me heart that burns like a fire
Give me drive that bangs like a drum
Give me truth as deep as an ocean
Give me strength that rains from above
Give me aim that locks on a target
Give me faith that smokes like a gun
Give me hope that holds on forever
Give me love that hits like a drug

Another Life
03:51

Maybe in another life
Carved from the blade of another knife
We could intertwine like
vines of a kind
And time would unwind
As it faded behind
Maybe in another life
On another timeline In some other fine time
I could always shine
I could find the right line
I could give the right sign
Maybe in another life
Maybe in another life
Maybe in another life
In some other found truth with some other fresh youth
And nothing to prove
I could find the right grooves
I could make the right moves
Maybe in another life
Where the seas weren’t as rough and the rains weren’t as tough
And with nothing to bluff
I could be the right stuff
It could all be enough
Maybe in another life
Maybe in another life

Fever Dream
03:37
|

If I could look into your gray eyes
Like a day of gray skies over me
If you can't say what you wanna say
You could tell it to me visually
All this time is passing by
We're losing days and losing sleep
Fragile eyes all open wide
While we lie awake under raining sheets
We could slide down a moon beam
And fall into a fever dream
Wash away all of the things that seemed
like they didn't mean anything
I wake to find myself
all black and blue
all alone in an empty room
flooded with the absence of you
If I could seek out and clutch you
like a hand on a heart that beats violently
If I could reach out and touch you
my fingertips could say everything
If I could look into your gray eyes
We could slide down a moon beam
And fall into a fever dream
Wash away all of the things that seemed
like they didn't mean anything

Although it’s been some time since the big fallout
It’s still all ripped to shreds and scattered about
Reconstruction can take a while
And face further delays from aimless guile
Decompiling the heart
Is a complex art
Every bug that you’ll find
class remains undefined
If it’s no trouble to shoot
better then to execute
until no other functions remain
stripped down to the core and only programmed to feel pain
Soon the scraps will be up off the floor
and built back better than ever before
With some fresh new modifications like
pulse overclocking and nerve integration
Decompiling the heart
Is a complex art
Every bug that you’ll find
class remains undefined
If it’s no trouble to shoot
better then to execute
until no other functions remain
stripped down to the core and only programmed to feel pain

Emergency State
04:29
|

Have you been slipping and showing cracks
Hyperventilations and panic attacks
Can’t you just relax
Frequent intimations of looming dread
Shocking contemplations inside of your head
Do you just see red
No one’s gonna catch you when you fall
No one’s gonna hear you when you call
No one’s gonna help you when you crawl
No one’s gonna think of you at all
So don’t knock it if you can’t relate to a broken down mind in a crisis state
Cuz if you've never tried it or ever had to hide it then just you wait
You can’t stop it or ever try and drop it or even keep it comin at a moderate rate
A real hot wire a five alarm fire to satiate
Are you just drifting and biding time
Trapped inside a never shifting soul paradigm
Isn’t life sublime
Taking deep breaths to stay in disguise
As you try to hide the terrified look in your eyes
Don’t you vaporize
No ones gonna keep you on the ball
No ones gonna read the words you scrawl
No ones gonna scrape you off the wall
No ones gonna look at you at all
So don’t knock it if you can’t relate to a broken down mind in a crisis state
Cuz if you've never tried it or ever had to hide it then just you wait
You can’t stop it or ever try and drop it or even keep it comin at a moderate rate
A real hot wire a five alarm fire to satiate
So don’t knock it if you can’t relate to a broken down mind in a crisis state
Cuz if you've never tried it or ever had to hide it then just you wait
You can’t stop it or ever try and drop it or even keep it comin at a moderate rate
A real hot wire a five alarm fire to satiate
An Emergency state
An Emergency state
An Emergency state
An Emergency state

Unmarked Miles
03:54

It must’ve been something
you said in the night
in the wake of forever
in the shock of the bite
Maybe I’m clueless
or lost in a dream
but this seems like a moment
we need not redeem
It’s time to know
if there’s enough time to go
we’ve been waiting some time you know
and this time there’s still some ways to go
counting down hours
like days at a time
on the highway of endless
clocks that won’t chime
it’s probably useless
to mark every mile
when the skyline horizon
won’t be for a while
