Staging

calls for line, calls for soul. to your
marks here we are. broken parts of
the whole. left out. take these empty
bottles of dyes as tribute. a sacrifice
to the maintenance. the gods of our
time. we’re ready for the rapture
now. come to claim our heavenly
rewards. bring us to the hereafter.
settle for nothing less. nothing more.

Plea/Bargain
01:33
|
|||
i didn’t ask you to save my life, and
you didn’t ask to be here. we both
had the best intentions. it all turns
to garbage in between. time drives
a wedge between you and me. an
imperceptible barrier in the way
accompanied by a pain we can’t
hold in our hands. hearts. eyes.
i touch you. i feel you. i see through
your disguise.

The Light
00:58
|

push away the grays with the smell
of your skin. leave this place to the
rest of them. this will be gone
before they know it. to the front.
stand next to you. you take my hand
in yours as we fall.

It's Thicker

all the things i’d say. if i said anything.
all the things i’d do. i do nothing. the
sleepless nights on those blankets on the
floor and a smile on your face that i just
don’t see anymore. scared in bed as i
held your hand. now it’s as if i don’t
even know you at all. and all the times
you pushed me away. i would do
anything if you’d just let me help you.

In The Circle

drinking down chunks of yesterday. drown
myself to keep from coming back up.
it’s hard to reach who i was back then.
always moving forward but you’re still
there so tell me what keeps you from
moving on? what are you waiting for?
are you so sure there’s still time for you
to get it right?

All Ends Loosened

one last look around. enjoy the dead faces
in the crowd. so much left to do when
we’re done here. now we sing the chorus
of strings. the song ends as the curtain
falls. the stage hands rejoice. they sing
through the halls. this dance you’re doing
is their greatest work so for now let’s
just pretend that any of us were ever
going to make it out of this one alive.
the play is finally over. you’re left to
pick up pieces. the beautiful stage you
set lies in shambles. the gallery is
empty. you’re left to pick up pieces and
all of this staging was just a preamble.

Curtain Call
01:01
|
|||
we can’t believe it’s come to this. it’s
all there ever was. all that was
ever certain. it couldn’t be that this
was preordained. just this once could
our lives be our own? can we lead
with our hearts? they should
burn in this light again. we act the
play of the free. we should
know how it tastes.

There's Still Time
02:30
|
|||
crawling out of this skin. bones
breaking through. show what’s
underneath. why hasn’t this
happened until now? how could we
have known it would take all this
time? how much is left and will it
be worth it? because i need it to
be better. mistakes pile up. a debt
on your soul. scars you never pay off.
dreams you gamble away. you always
let your nightmares win.
i’m turning on the light. i’m going
to let them in. let them take me.
there’s blood everywhere but if
you’re paying in blood, this is nowhere
near enough. bruises that i can’t place.
i don’t need to know. i don’t need to
know how long this will take. no
matter how long it is, i know i deserve
this.
