I thank you dearly for all of your good intentions and getting me through a tough time in my life a wish could not come close to my thanks towards you but my eyes are floating somewhere different now call me crazy, call me indecisive but I believe I'm just growing up not depressed or quite lonely, but too afraid of fucking anything up but it seems I already have as I set my sights on someone new could that someone be you? as I await, with bleeding hands, sweet loving depression heal me or hurt me, stay or desert me I don't fucking mind if you lead a pack towards true perfection I won't mind staying behind just know that I think there's more than a friendship one-sided from either end maybe this time, it's not me this time but I trusted you to vent for a friend

of all things good of all things sure of all things under mine for more where gypsies lie above the sky and steal the stars for their next fly stalking the elusive bird Sunday morning hearing word sky fairies, angels, and devil airplanes canaries of navy will drive me insane their floating overhead projector a hitman sent out for free, for Rector Grace says, there's a little left, you take my hit Jane cries, oh it would be nice, you little miss crit the sunbird flies away, awakening a new day where yellow is nothing, only shadows of blue-gray

Unapologetic 02:27
angry, unapologetic, underneath a stone cracking every bone alive, but not close to well be it here or in a living hell not sorry for my crimes I gave you evidence, you gave me chimes firefighters hose the chance to which I invite you to a game of ancient dance

Done Doting 04:56
I've wasted countless hours trying to figure out how to tell you that I think there's more than trust in this circle but I've noticed since I let it go that you might be a little pissed avoiding me but calling me a friend allow me to speak my mind if I have the time I've tried to change but it makes me more the same again and again I lie to myself and others that I've moved on that I'm done with this game maybe I'm just stretching it out to the far reaches or I'm just insane I'm ashamed but I'm not done doting I'm passing time by staring out into the stars in the middle of the day no clouds in the way, no nothing feeling pretty useless like I always do much time has passed but I can't bring myself to forget there's too much time in the world not enough things to do far too occupied thinking of you

down the road we hold our hands walking into the magic lands the red sky opens and falls in deep an excellent mirage, God I need sleep the road is rough, the hills are high I'm not gonna make it unless I die with no one with me, not even you the roads be bloody, thick and through just doing what they're telling me newspapers and market adultery it's not like I mind much it means not too much to me but I still think it would be nice for you to be here and see what the world looks like in the eyes of the dead houses caved in, with the deflated beds country smoke in a party balloon cry I may but fight I must when the pinwheel spins faster than the dust it's a lonely night for me but how about you, no, I'll leave you be I'm not too religious myself I don't have a Testament on my shelf however, I swear, I ran God's track I walked my way to Hell and back holes in the sides of structures and sidewalks pink mistresses, crawling through, they stalk I'm a dick, but I have honor for the ones I love let the high whores bleed away, pale and white like a coked-up dove (I'm nothing without you you're everything without me)

Off White 02:41
life's unfair and full of lies behind the man who, above the guys, did come out front and explode a heap of bodies from the motherlode guilty clutter and despair I'd say sorry, but no one really cares fear wrapped in a small ball rolling down the aisle of the next big white fall a thorn in my sight blood in my eyes red vision, 20/20 night or sunny assholes trying to help me it only works if it's done correctly expecting to please others, no? when you can't even help your own where do you think you're going? the black and white, or the far unknowing carrying lizards in spots far too many, and that's a lot

hanging from ropes and dangling from shadows skyscrapers collapse, salt water on taps pills in multicolor, make you a hell of a lot smaller than you realize deranged and psychosized, fitting rooms for anorexics falling off of tightly shut plastic panes being free at last, what a blast, save the best for last rolling over opportunity nicely packed in little pink dresses her soul caresses me Peter Pan, like hell I can keep myself from growing up maple skies and salt reporters, disregarding doctor's orders dropping out of high school just to make the party hiding in the stock of someone else's favorite airplane alluring to the pilots and the news teams, across the globe, they're

Hill Of Tara 03:25
you took it well but sometimes it still feels like hell you tell me there's no need for same but it will never be the same darling of the stars how do you keep calm? fair maiden of the laurels can you read my palm? because I think I might be insane I think I've lost my mind head sticking out of my back and into your life into your friends and right through my mind I've been given pills of control but they only keep me still for so long I can't make it outside for too long keep me in my room for now a crop signal for the Thursday girl the turning world around her the force fields pens a gate of signs enlightening a piece of my mind I bite my eyes out, I'm not okay my friends don't help much anyway when the minds you trust won't help your lust even in stage one, they know you're done it's not unnatural it's a matter of life it's not that unusual it's just I need a grip on life

Of going upfront Of getting it off my chest Of letting my emotions tackle me And allowing my thoughts to do the rest Confused regarding what I like And what I take much further If I must say this to someone else, I never wished to stun her (Because) You are still an angel, sent from the blue You radiate positivity, always knowing what and how to do If they still worshipped the sun, you would be the one I’d pray for Of falling in and out Of tricking myself insane Of collapsing on a sunny day And turning it into rain For half a year, I held it close It didn’t affect what mattered most Until it felt like time Maybe I should have waited (But) You are still an angel, with halos, wings, and everything You make my otherwise awful day, always knowing what to say If my mind could keep control, you still might never know What I knew Shadows of regrets still hang over me With no acknowledgement of what it may have been for you Did I just alienate myself from a true good friend? Did I prematurely summon an untimely end? Tell me not to worry It only feels worse Equally distributed It still hurts But this changes nothing I still feel the same Except for the added guilt And its brother, shame (But) You are still an angel, from the clouds No robes, no halos, no holy gowns When we were still innocent, we couldn't see the now But it would probably have been better of as is But you're still an angel, daughter of the sky This shouldn't be goodbye, but I think this could be it If I had control, I'd be fine But if fate's a thing, I think it's our time To go

Dutch Smile 02:19
life has been a breeze for you, hasn't it? well-endowed and always ready to give never seen twice with the same person of any kind you shouldn't even be alive hold back your laughter, the neon fuzz are running at you you're 16, but you treat yourself as if you know what you're doing a trail of smoke follows you everywhere, there's a damn good reason everybody stopped caring about you when you light your last cigarette and down your last shots and your pockets are empty and your followers are shot you know they've got you right where they want you so you may as well hand over the IV and flip your wine-stained Dutch smile

Sink 08:23
dragging along every little thing until it bleeds let another sink, here in the arena, in three hungry bears that beg for supermodels their lack of positivity makes me believe they want them now you were meant to be used by someone someone who cares so little about your wave your solid candy days a hallelujah to the plaster-blonde maze nobody cares about the sunshine everyone cares about the moonglow nobody wants to hear your stories because everyone has moved on along with everything that once belonged to you and every sign has been torn off the walls the power grid was shorted last night it's out of our control, it's not of our control or effort

about

This is the second time I've really changed my sound (first time was in November 2013, after the rushed disaster that was Hanging River). This time, though, it's not just because I use electronic drums (that are actually mine, yay) now, but because I fucked up in the real world and lost a good friend. A lot of the songs on this album are to/about/regarding/minimally involving either her or me (in relation to the horrible events).

That all said, she has no idea that this exists. I'd tell her (bad idea), but I have found it really hard to talk to her, mainly because, even if she's really happy, if I so much as ask her to clarify something for our Biology final, she immediately becomes tired and sad. That hurts.

Enough of that, though. I'm proud of most of these songs. Fuck you if you say this makes me creepy, I've already established that.
