Tele-Apathy 05:36
why don't you write yourself a song so we can give a shit about that so everyone will be happy about that why not write the perfect love song so we can give a shit about that so everyone will care about that why not write all the songs you want we've been writing on our own since the day that we left home we're not looking for a microphone to turn the song into a poem why don't you get yourself a job so everyone will care about that your parents will happy about that why don't form the right relationships so everyone will care about that you can pretend to give a fuck about that we've been dying on our own since the day that you left home we're not looking towards the telephone every time we want to be alone car crash gas mask fate demands its gravity to overlook your circumstance is an open hand to tragedy your best defense a closed fist projecting tele-apathy to maintain your sanity you broaden up your tapestry life, as much as death, is a process that's still happening it reciprocates each other always watch what you're envisioning we've been riding on our own since the day that we left home we're looking towards the microphone to turn the song into a poem

Ghost 05:44
the irony of living is that it never lasts as soon as you acknowledge it it sails onto the past to where you can think of dying as your chance to gain it back it's just the same as dreaming you have fallen in a trap it's an experience it is no different from anything you would ever dream of it's not permanent it will be a sacrament it will be a testament to your love I was still asleep when a ghost came down the hall when I tried to speak I couldn't make a word at all I tried to move my feet but my legs had gone numb taking steps closer towards the thing that I'd become when she told me I was awake how did she share when my fate how many dreams would it take to have this memory erased the irony of dying is that it never lasts just as soon as you acknowledge it it sails on to the past to where you can think of living as your chance to gain it back well it's just the same as dreaming you have fallen in a trap

Supernature 04:57
today we are alive because tomorrow we're dead it's not a reason to be sad but a reason to be glad things you thought were impossible are concealed to make life plausible because nothing gold can stay you'll spend your life in the mines that way but something supernatural will occur in your lifetime there is no escape you're only half-way awake wait until you believe this life was built to suit your needs because everything is dark then it goes it away some day you may long to see yourself that way but something supernatural will occur in your lifetime I looked into the shape ans saw it shift into my eye until it was them instead of me a streaming light into the sky without words the universe explained to my true disguise among the sight between the light that yet denied the need for eyes and with a sigh time cries returns to you my old disguise where divided lullabies divide my old mines where divided lullabies confuse my old mind

Clear Water 03:47
the clearest water I ever saw sirens swam like nothing at all I got tempted and I jumped right in her and I on a magical swim watch the way she moves through the air high above the ground without a care I saw my face on the bottom if only these thoughts meant what they mean when I thought them the clearest water I'd ever known carry me back to my home every time I thought I had drown find her feet buried into the ground she was not afraid to just stand up below the ground I thought I was above I was reaching for something in the air for whatever got me so very wet behind the ears sometimes I feel it is too shallow other times I know it is too deep every time my mind tries to follow somewhere along the lines I fall asleep and float downstream the clearest water I'd ever seen a ghost could have floated it was fit for a dream it wasn't there and yet I jumped right in now that I'm dead I'll never do it again do it again

this will be the last time I ever try to be alive I am in the mood for some different and I am not afraid if I die life will be the opposite of what you want it to so if you really know what you want focus that away from you a parallel universe I found myself for the first time asleep on a cloud above I realized from this height the biggest crime was sedentary love I tried to be the furthest that I could from earth and sea until deep within a black hole I came across the other side of me a parallel universe there are two ways one of them is all of them

I fell into the night the way my body repairs when its sleeps at the place where the ghosts pass into the light at the time when your soul awakens up from a dream and yet none of it occurs to you that way I just sat and hoped there'd be nothing to say then the moment I saw you the vision went deeper into my self until I almost certainly knew that you would kill me for my health and I had died so many times that it felt good regurgitating the words you understood and i know I'm not the person you want me to be if the person you see is just largely yourself we both need something else as an insurance from health so when our bodies melt we can distinguish ourselves in the shape of what's gone to find the opposite form reciprocate where you are from and then divide when you are gone
