Tides 03:03
are we playing at survival cause it’s sinking more than I care to admit and as the water flows around us it’s always keep your chin up boy face the torrent you’re old enough to stop pretending there’s no call to arms or world war pending it’s in your teeth and in your bones plan to reap just what you’ve sown final messages are on the wall no one will catch us when we fall you’re old enough to stop pretending you tied those ropes around your arms then you kept on sinking into wave and into foam wash over everything you know final message is you’re on your own no one will catch us when we fall
2.
Cut Thin 02:57
you were cut so thin like paper stood on end catching fire on the edge of your bed sucked in like a moth to light stripped down to the bone tonight you’re never gonna get it right you were cut so thin all skin and limb coughed up a story like you’d never see me again lack of sleep or a lack aiming taught you how to stand on the ceiling when it splits you’ll end up where you’re leaning you should’ve learned by now there’s no use in running when the fire comes to town just gonna burn it down you were cut so thin dangling your legs on the edge a set of eyes in the back of your head you said “i can see the room from right where i stand”

Wolves 03:13
the sun finally came out today winter left its mark and will remain folded up inside like a cancer on the brain but if you tear down these walls i’ll do the same it’s been a long time since you felt like you were whole running circles like a rat and now everybody knows you won’t come back until you find yourself a little peace of mind when it comes i hope a little sticks this time lift the wolves out from your coat feel them feed upon your throat gnash and burn inside until you feel some hope
4.
Broken 02:31
all i know is falling apart and the things i can’t remember i was so sure i kept to heart now the weight of your words are falling down on me and the people keeping me up in life i’m cutting down to break free like someone replaced my heart with broken parts because i turn the key but never seem to start now this little voice haunts me in the dark says “when you left him there you left him there to rot” i should’ve listened i should’ve seen when the light fell from your eyes i should’ve intervened all i know is falling apart and you can try all you want but you can’t fight decay with your arms so make for the exit make for the door before i pull this house down brick by brick like settling an old score and i replace all of you with broken parts until you can’t scream or even feel the darts i’ll make a world of fucked up cars that never start and i’ll leave you there to rot
5.
Four Corners 03:16
please forgive me if for all my ignorance i can’t help but believe this is a program this is a farce you’re just too damn scared to ask who holds the cards so busy studying your neighbors knees holding up your piety for an idol you don’t see or believe this is a church this is its steeple its filled with ivory walls and hollow people is there no end to what you won’t see as the serpent’s eye looks down upon you say amen to he from the victim of human law hung on wooden beams to your belief so brush up on your history it’s a new disease please forgive me if for all this ugliness i can’t help but see there will be no progress no leap forwards until your empire burns down and we move forward

fear it cuts like a knife burns under your skin and it builds up you’ll never keep it in they drag you into a corner drill into your skull it’s been do this and do that since the day you were born are you sinking into the undertow they’ll turn the room so cold you’ll be nothing but another asshole to turn the collar on you fear death when you rise you fear death when you sleep there’s no surprise it’s getting harder to remember a thing we’ll send the water to cleanse the fire to breathe and we’ll go on to remove everything we’ll sink down into the undertow let the sun go cold there’ll be nothing left of our shadows for us to call our own it just goes on and on
