The prime alignment of
Our years are among us
We will not bide time for
The priest and his service
We will live our lives
As an acolyte speaking
His own sermon
Tell your loved ones
You love them
Life is fleeting
Life is fleeting
Redeem my solitude
From the dark space
Make sure I get
Home safe
For I must leave
My place
Before the coffin-shaped
Space
Tell your loved ones
You love them

A selfish death
To avoid future pain
A selfish death
To avoid future pain
I see the future
With narrowed eyes
It sees me with apologies
To those who saw
Too much from me
Just like my handwriting
Messy
Unorganized blotches of ink
Soaking through paper
An hour after writing
All of the above
I beat myself up to the point
Where my fingers feel fucked
Overanalysed
Canceling a show I was
Supposed to play tonight
I feel as though I'm giving
Myself 24 hours to be gone
From this household
Or be nowhere at all
A selfish death
To avoid future pain
A selfish death
To avoid future pain
Should one feel guilty for
The thoughts that they have
Should one use substances
As a temporary fix
As opposed to actually
Fixing the mistakes they
Put at stake
Overanalysation
Is an art form itself
If perfected right
Allows you to cradle
The entire world in the
Palms of your hands
With yourself and life being
A mystery to mankind
What are you
Leaving behind
So be sure
To avoid his grief
By making him hate me
I'm not your
Dependent figure
Anymore
And they all
Lied about hell
For it was never
Part of the afterlife
It's been right
In front of me
You showed me Hell
And fuck was it pretty

If it's wrong that's fine
So
The start of the song
Not down in the doldrums
Perhaps the pulsating
Periods of stagnation
Provide clearer guidance
For one's ambitions
Constricting and contracting
Thoughts down the homerun
Of newly leased hallways
Down in the doldrums
Certainly lamenting
Over funerals all held
In the same room
Assumed the gloom
But it's the room and us
We choose our own gloom

The following week
How many decrepit
Bodies will the man in
Black drapes
Take away
Today
The following weep
How many human beings
Will reach the ever-breaking
Numeral
One hundred and still be
Able to kiss their
Love
Death's footsteps
Come creeping in
Ever so silently
Return to earth
Is no option
For void is
Your new companion

The Morning Man
03:05

There’s someone that I’m looking for
He’s somewhat of the Morning Man
He writhes around to the sound of
Breaking bones attuned by the birdsongs
By the bird songs
By the bird songs
I’ve got a question to ask him
Like where do you go
When the morning don’t show
Cause a menagerie of
Cause a menagerie of
Cause a menagerie of
I've got a question to ask him
Like where do you go
When the morning don't show
Cause a menagerie of weltschmerz
Will be waiting for you at noon
If you’re not back soon
Well the lovers
The sun
The loners
The charm
I’ll be waiting for you at noon
Yeah I'll be waiting for you at noon
If you’re not back soon
Well the lovers
The sun
The loners
The charm
I’ll be waiting for you at noon
Yeah I'll be waiting for you at noon
The Morning Man drinks his tea
Above mountainsides too high to see
There’s someone that I’m looking for
He’s somewhat of the Morning Man
He writhes around to the sound of
Birdsongs singing break his bones
Break his bones
Break his bones
The Morning Man drinks his tea
Above mountainsides too high to see
Confabulation tore asunder the blunders
The Morning Man drinks his tea

Kid (The Sun Song)

Ciphering carbon dioxide
From other people's lungs
I've forgotten how to breathe
I've learned to stutter over my own tongue
Well I can't keep ciphering lungs
I can't keep biting tongues
I can't keep thinking about
Where I'd be if I had a son
And a daughter would be spoilt
With all kisses could give
A little boy shown discipline
For the places his father has lived
And what makes you think
That you're fit to be a father
You can't even hold the weight
To push yourself further
Is it unfortunate what he's become
Living each day to only cipher some new lungs
A kid placed as a souvenir upon a shelf
Financially unstable
Can't support let alone fucking feed himself
A kid rolling paper in between his fingertips
As an excuse to press something more
Than a fist towards his lips
A kid shown how mean he's become
Despised over fluent feelings
Expressed just from loved one's hums
Yeah Kid
This is but temporary
It don't matter
It don't matter
Until you're in a cemetery
Kid
Kid
This is but temporary
It don't matter
It don't matter
Until you're in a cemetery
Knowing kids that I haven't even met
Because of all the times that I've
Coincidentally dreamed of them
Hey that kid looks just like me
Except he’s so happy
Almost too worry-free
Ask yourself is this what you wanna be
Adulthood lived through the eyes of a child
Who still needs a babysitter
'Cause who the fuck knows what harm he inflicts
When no one else is around to see it
And a daughter would be spoilt
With all kisses could give
A little boy shown discipline
For the places his father has lived
And what makes you think
That you're fit to be a father
You can't even hold the weight
To push yourself further
Do close ones see how mean I've become
Now despised over fluent feelings
Expressed from just their hums
I wish I could trust them
As much as I trust no one
But I'm that no one
They say I need more sun
They say I need more sun
They say I need more sun
They say I need more sun
They say I need more sun
Is it unfortunate what he's become
Living each day to only cipher some new lungs
A kid placed as a souvenir upon a shelf
Financially unstable
Can't support let alone fucking feed himself
A kid rolling paper in between his fingertips
As an excuse to press something more
Than a fist towards his lips
A kid shown how mean he's become
Despised over fluent feelings
Expressed just from loved one's hums
Yeah kid
This is but temporary
It don't matter
It don't matter
Until you're in a cemetery
Kid
Kid
This is but temporary
It don't matter
It don't matter
Until you're in a cemetery

This is a sign
From an insignificantly
Distant world
A world
And we are attempting
To survive our time
So both of our lives may align
Align
With our human sounds
Our human science
Our images
Our fucked up minds
And our feelings
These are the songs of

Awake, It Seems

Never really in between
Just when you arrive
And when you leave
Never really in between
Just when you arrive
And when you leave
Asleep at night
But awake it seems
For dreams
Are only make-believe
Asleep at day
But awake it seems
Dreaming for the days
Of the make-believe
So when I
Lay my head to rest
Please remember me
Unlike the rest
When my
Head is lain to rest
I promise
You will see me at my best

I’ve got nothing in these boxes
To call a moving day
Leaving families without your kisses
Has dealt your troublesome
With some pain
Yeah I’ve got nothing in these boxes
To call a moving day
Leaving families without your kisses
Has dealt your troublesome
With some pain
Yeah I’m breakin’
But I still work
You’re breakin’
But we still work
We haven’t had the easiest run
Fuckin’ rain no shine
Forever inclined that we were happy
And we’re still
Trying to be happy
Well 18 and for what we’ve done
We’ll make our home the better one
But the sun
Oh fuck
Fuck the sun!
I’m not worthy for warmth
I’m not worthy for your warmth
Yeah I’m breakin’
But I still work
You’re breakin’
But we still work
And I know you don’t like the light on
When you’re asleep
Just know the brightness
Is more comfortable for you
Than it is for me
Eyes closed with the thought of you
I’m painting pictures
I’m painting pictures
For something I
Never thought I could do
I’m just hoping
I’m just wishing
That you look through
Yeah I’m breakin’
But I still work
You’re breakin’
But we still work
Yeah I’ve painted a home
With red lipstick lips
You’ve painted a home
With callus fingertips
Open the curtains my love
Show me what the sun is made of
