Fugue State 05:18
Are your dreams just as you want them? In that final race have you tripped up or fallen? Well I've torn myself from the grips of the sand At the depths she's changed all her plans What can I do? Only wish I could find my way back Retrace my steps, into the pitch black Under ocean, never over Under ocean, never over You know you've met your match When you start falling back In that race you've been so far Under my affections, All your recollections All your wasted time My time, my life, take what you would give me My time or my life, take what you would give me Take what you would give me Take what you would give me You know you've met your match When you start falling back In that race you've been so far Under my affections, All your recollections All your wasted time

She says no need To justify my means Blind streams of night But love walks with me I see my own death Fall out of my head The coast is a ghost I want you to know Our past doesn't last Our futures don't show If I try to relate she is Already gone Is it really so great? Is it so beyond? I see my own death Fall out of my head Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh The coast is a ghost I want you to know Our past doesn't last Our futures don't show Wrapped up in dripping chain Didn't know I'd be here again Is she on, is she still alive At the end of the other line? The coast is a ghost I want you to know Our past doesn't last Our futures don't show

Murked 04:34
Hear how you speak as if I never try Want the same things if you want another life Knock my legs out under me, I'll drift alight If you want you can trouble me, every night Feet first, chest deep, current flows, carry me I've yet to wake, my heart lies, the city glows, on the rise All my time spent, out alone, how could you know? With my eyes closed, I don't feel, anymore If you will it, I will want it I just need someone to go with If it's dawn then I must be dated And by now I know you have made it Knock my legs out under me, I'll drift alight If you want you can trouble me, every night

Hanalei Bay 03:57
You're never what you Want to be Just hope to die and Hope to leave Strung along trees On cotton rope Hanging shirtsleeves Do you have to go? I see our love on Horizon's eye Our lives are not far From another night Never sleeping Just try to think It won't last for long Rolling over, rolling back Adding losses to the stack Will I see you anymore Letting pictures flood the floor Lately, it's not my fault And not yours at all Our skin starts to flake How long does this take? Know that, I'll keep on trying Where's that silver lining? See you moving away Leave my heart by the bay

Hold me under, hold me in, I can't lose myself to this Says she can't take the street heat Swallowed again by the great deep Try to tell me to lose my aim Would you follow me all the same? I'm still trying to be homesick Stop me if you've heard this Lost my way, my youth, my light I need what's best, my wants, my life I see no end, my end's in sight I see no end, my end's in sight Moonlight fades in As the night starts to shapeshift I think she wants to keep me there Out of the mist, we are nowhere Take me into your next moment I'm surprised you'll go with me When I don't notice anything I'm still trying to be homesick Stop me if you've heard this I'm surprised you notice anything Lost my way, my youth, my light I need what's best, my wants, my life I see no end, my end's in sight I see no end, my end's in sight (You might think it's better if we survive together, but I'm on the ride, and the sun is behind)

Dawn Patrol 03:57
Lost you to the evening surf I can hurt just like you hurt Coral twisting into paths Want something I've never had Met you at the river cross Shallow end I felt so strong I want something I've never had In the clear, she wants control Sure you are no dawn patrol In the clear, she wants control, but you're Sure you are no dawn patrol So far away that I could burst Close enough to be your first Let me live for you instead Not for better, not for rest Want my body to be clear Bound to dust and salty air Plans to shape and then to leave But I am in the ocean deep In the clear, she wants control, but you're Sure you are no dawn patrol And now I'm awake, I can finally taste all the All the blood, all the blood, as I'm carried away to the Splits from the place where she's broken to me See the blood, see the blood washing out to the sea I used to dream, used to dream I was down in the dirt And now I fall back in line waiting out in reverse How could I lose what I've loved? What's it matter to me? I watch the blood, watch the blood washing out to the sea

Riverflow 04:10
How surreal To be here From the darkness, will you let me in I can't decide, I'm wearing thin see me Lose my way Sent me out I run to see what's still around It's statues of a fading sound Won't you come out and make me Into what you're wasting If you are so with it Then show me your limit now Is it my thoughts or Is it my fault? Sort me out Bring me down Holy ocean of eternity Whatever dies, returns to me In that first time that I met you I could feel my eyelid's closing view I'd be the first one to be your boy If I'm the last one to hear your voice Won't you come out and make me Into what you're wasting If you are so with it Then show me your limit now Ohhhh, Ohhhh Is it my thoughts or Is it my fault?

Saw in my eyes what belongs at my side Wears on my mind that look brings me to life Sink past the reef where are you, I'm in need Hang on the last sign she wants this to be Reuse my heart Take me apart Know I don't mean to drone Not to lead you on Should I be alone Just before you're gone You going out All I feel's down Say if it's not too much Keep it on my sleeve Closer I'm to you Sickness wasting me Calm down my nerves I'm so sorry to cry Nothing I do brings you from being fine Last echo drowns and I'm driving away We both made plans to be out everyday Reuse my heart Take me apart Know I don't mean to drone Not to lead you on Should I be alone Just before you're gone You going out All I feel's down Say if it's not too much Keep it on my sleeve Closer I'm to you Sickness wasting me

Delta 04:00
Tearing through the things you left That life, it'll be your death Turning around, you're backstroking Tell me, is our time closing anytime? I know if you don't back me now You would never back me again anyhow Go now, to that western sea I'll try to keep you in my sleep Floating with an armored sail, if you Lose catch, let me take your place on the rail Don't think about it, it's no loss You give yourself time to take it slow If you considered every cost You'd have to say to them, I don't know I know if you don't back me now You would never back me again anyhow Go now, to that western ocean I'll try to get your same devotion Trying, trying Trying, trying
