Lyrics
I'm blind
I don't care what you say
What you say or what you do
All I know's I'll try my best to keep away
Away from you - Track Name: Meet Me In Montauk
-
Lyrics
I didn't know I was standing in your way
You turned me around and asked my name
We shook hands; acquainted from that day
I felt my prejudice slowly slip away
You took me out for a night on the town
If silence is beautiful, you didn't make a sound
And in that moment I knew
I want to grow old with you - Track Name: Lily
-
Lyrics
I cut my face in a dream last night
Salty fountain; soggy slumber
Her jaws opened up over mine
I tried to run, I was over encumbered
And Lily, you`re mine
Oh, you`re the most beautiful flower that anyone will ever find
Anyone...
Her kiss is a belly ache
And I can feel my liver corroding within
It takes all it can take
But I want it again and again and again
And Lily
You`re beautiful
And Lily
You`re meaningful
You`re meaningful
What have you got for us today lily?
And I'm addicted but I don't care
'Cuz all I see is Lily everwhere
She takes away all of the pain
She's like a drug no I'm not selling
No I'm selling
And Lily
You`re beautiful
And Lily
You`re meaningful
You`re meaningful
And Lily, you're mine
You're the most beautiful flower that anyone will ever find
I cut my face in a dream last night
Salty fountain; soggy slumber
Her jaws opened up over mine
I tried to run, I was over encumbered
And Lily
You`re beautiful
And Lily
You`re meaningful
You`re meaningful - Track Name: Girls Like You, Guys Like Me
-
Lyrics
Girls like you, guys like me
Only together subliminally
Everytime I close my eyes
The match in the darkness spawns the fire's light
I don't care if this is just a phase
You won't change me with your beautiful ways
Girls like you, guys like me
Spend our lives separately
It's by chance that our first glance
Spiraled into this fandango romance
She calls me up at 2am at night
I won't fall beneath the city lights
Lily looks with me upon the town
She says, "there's nothing left for us here now" - Track Name: Is This Living?
-
Lyrics
Is this living?
Is this dying?
We're jumping from skyscrapers
Flyin' flyin'
Sequential felonies
We're stealing straight from thieves
Don't let me go
Lily's got what I need
Is this living?
Is this dying?
We're scratching at skyscrapers
Sanity defying
We put our fists up at those who glance at us
Bone crushing silence: death proof alliance
I sense a prototype
Tranquil and quaint
I pour the soda on the mainframe
Cynical saint
Red and blue lights pursue to paralyze
Evade into the haven
Cyanide paradise
And as the lights dim
And as she loves sin
She pulls me closer, she always wins
We're so jaded
And we love it
Shunned from our families
Think nothing of it
Is this living?
Is this dying?
Swallowed the barrel of a gun just to try it
Arsenic tendencies
Sick childhood memories
She's so dangerous
Oh, I cannot leave
And there's a bounty on our heads
No surrender, no regrets
And on the back road
They've got their guns cocked
Lily: "They're our enemies, know your enemies"
So they spray us with their bullets
Lily: "Get to cover, find the trigger then pull it"
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang bang bang bang bang bang
Is this living?
Is this dying?
We're jumping from skyscrapers
Flyin' flyin'
We put our fists up at those who glance at us
Bone crushing silence: death proof alliance
Are we living? Are we dying? - Track Name: She's Electric

Lyrics
Lily's electrons are coursing through my spine
Divide and reprogram the sorrow from my mind
I moved to Australia
I'm moving with you
Am I possessed; confined by chains to you?
Lily's electrons are coursing through my spine
Divide and reprogram the sorrow from my mind
Lily's electrons are coursing through my spine
Debug and reformat the contents of my life
I sat in the middle of our two-bedroom home
A knock from the neighbours
Just leave us alone
Lily's electrons are coursing through my spine
Divide and reprogram the sorrow from my mind
Tell me Lily, is this really it?
Is this the life that I want to live?
She gave her promise, her life, her last name
This is all that I need and all that I breathe is you
Lily's electrons are coursing through my spine
Divide and reprogram the sorrow from my mind
Lily's electrons are coursing through my spine
Debug and reformat the contents of my life - Track Name: Patience Is A Virgin
-
Lyrics
I cannot bridge this gap
I cannot treat this gash
She was a part of me
Past tense is never friendly
And now I'm standing in a room of sorrow
Because I know she won't be here tomorrow
Everyone I love
Everywhere I've been
Everything I know
Everything I've seen
I threw it all away and Lily, you threw me away
Shouldn't have let you in
Promised myself never again
Those nights we went out late
Ransacked the town that we hate
And now I'm standing in a room of sorrow
Because I know she won't be here tomorrow
Everyone I love
Everywhere I've been
Everything I know
Everything I've seen
I threw it all away and Lily, you threw me away - Track Name: Omniscience

Lyrics
Year 17, dream log 26:
I've been residing inside this musty green little room for what seems to be days.
I can easily escape; but it's safer in here than out there.
Year 19, dream log 17:
I'm on the moon now. As I take a step towards my ship, I lift off and start to linger into the path of a sickening black hole.
And there's a hand reaching from everyone I've ever loved;
Each one of those hands close and retract,
I'm swallowed by the black hole
It's a tragedy, but it'll be forgotten.
I'll be forgotten.
Year 24, dream log 158:
I'm walking through forests of weeds in a synthetic garden. There's a frozen pond in the middle of autumn. Something possesses me to investigate it and then I fall through. Submerged in icy cold water decending further and further, I painfully open my eyes and there she is. Standing beside the hole I fell though from the surface, she's laughing. Like all dreams, I lose control of my legs and I'm unable to swim to the surface. My lungs fill with brisk cold water and that's when I wake up. It's a tragedy, but it'll be forgotten.
I'll be forgotten
Year 33, dream log 51:
I'm a wealthy, well dressed and important businessman. I'm in my New York apartment on the top floor having my brain fed by reruns of sitcoms. Constant stimulation, something we take for granted that we have at our fingertips. In the middle of my entertainment, 3 men in black suits with guns break down my door. As I stand up and turn around, I see them raise their weapons. Before I'm able drop to my knees and beg, their bullets are sent through my secular and worldy body.
How unfortunate.
It's a tragedy, but it'll be forgotten.
I'll be forgotten. - Track Name: The Passion of the Octopus

Lyrics
They're my solo pupa louse
Mechanics of my madness
Dependant on the fluids
That seep through cracks of sadness
Introverted pressure
Condenses in my throat
Now's the time I realize
The blotches in the yoke
Passion of the octopus
Locked tightly 'round my neck
The suction, the ownership
That I belong to them
The squeeze of the tentacles
The true blue in my head
Shower in my blood cells
Take strength from what is dead
I once was a rodent
Trapped inside the lines
Held back, exposed and
The last ones of my kind
Then a flower in a field
So crisp, she caught my eye
She taught me just how to live
In a life where love's a sigh
Lerion odorata
Began as bright as day
Soared across the sea
Told indecision to stay
Started life anew
Started it with you
Left behind my hometown
To live the life that Lily found - Track Name: Objects In Mirror Are Deadlier Than They Appear
-
Lyrics
Jagged edge with exigence
Pressed against your closest friends
Obsessed with your vanity
Self-instilled insanity
You need her
She is the cure
You're half the man you thought you were
Breaking you and making you
And loving you and killing you
Silver lining in the clouds
She loves to hear you scream aloud
Jagged edge with exigence - Track Name: Leather Lips / Porcelain Fingertips
-
Lyrics
Did you even care at all?
Did you even care at all?
Did you even think about how I would live if you were to leave me? No, you didn't
If I can't love you I can hate you anyways
I need to feel a strong emotion towards your ways
Leather lips / wooden hips / porcelain fingertips
This was my protagonist downfall
This was my protagonist downfall
Did you even think about how I would live if you were to leave me? No, you didn't at all
Leather lips / wooden hips / porcelain fingertips - Track Name: Denouement
-
Lyrics
I threw away the life I loved... - Track Name: I Try

Lyrics
Now I look at myself through these vacant eyes
In my reflection, I see everything that I've despised
My hands are transparent and cold
And I can't feel, I can't feel at all
Why do I even try?
You remind me of all I used to love
Your perfection had me questioning that God above
Now in your absence I can't live on
I gave you love, you gave me promise: the perfect con
Why do I even try?
