i stopped breathing and asked myself is this good enough for me the world's spinning and in the darkness i found comfort i found peace yeah i'm leaving there is nothing real up there there is nothing good up there i've been dreaming and only this is real only this is real you stopped breathing and asked yourself is this good enough for you the world's ending and only love will see your spirit through yeah your leaving cause there is nothing real in here and there is nothing true in here you've been spinning but now you're standing still now you're standing still is it me who did this to me

Dragon Star 07:03
lyrics

i was the one who fought the dragon i was the one who slayed the beast a thousand yards of blood and maggots a thousand yards of bended knees i am the start of something careful i am the start of something neat watch my stars fall in handfuls watch my cars hit your trees what i say said let me be cause i'm afraid yeah i'm afraid so let me be cause i'm afraid yeah i'm afraid so what i say i count the day in this house in this house i count the days in this house in this house in this house no matter what i say don't let me out cause there's hell to pay there's hell to pay don't let me out no matter what i say don't take me down they broke me down and there's hell to pay they pushed me out and i'll make them pay i'll make them pay (nothing in the foreground to focus on, nothing left and everything both are gone, you are not a hymn or a one-time song, time is upon us war is gone, everything you thought was a broken star, everything you had was a roseless thorn, places in your head that you've never gone, places in your head that you've dreamed before.) i'm not an animal i know i don't know

Crash Test Dummies 07:27

i'm sailing way on a winter ship through a database of lost souls crash test dummies long forgotten left to breathe blind and alone i'm sailing way on a wintership strange dust and elbows clog my green eyes strange thoughts arise on a winter ship through a deserted machine just floating head and the unseen

The Swimming Ideas 08:14
lyrics
buy track
how low the whispers spoke as i approached the chamber doors close the sound of smoke dissapears behind the pulse your home is under our control there are children without whom you would know the garbage and the smoke they touched my eyes through a dreg creeping upward from the pavement you sandwiched in between a carousel of words when everything hurts a spleen dissapears a blur of dark images -fire in the atmosphere- the water beneath i was taken into the whales mouth it wasn't a mistake, it wasn't a mistake wake up the sensors in the walls spill out the carbons in the den we're making spiritual advice you and i condescend we're making table lanterns light we're making fish forget to swim the swimming ideas the swimming ideas

Politico 04:47
lyrics
buy track
the oil fields are burning bright. right on. why am i giving speeches? why are there crowds? no matter what we're gonna die. right on. right on down to the matter right on down to the matter it's gotta be some sort of game some illusion some test we must exist beyond this mess we must exist outside of this, maybe i'll wake up all is ending the fear is still all is ending the fear is still here they should walk in our shoes and see our cities from the ground how surely we do not compare how little we are in control now there's something we're afraid to say some force behind the day to day we're being molded for their math with politicians in our soul

Coordinates 08:12
lyrics
buy track
it doesn't even seem real to clear to draw parallels we're all very seperate today well, at least i know my place i'm here to jump in from the walls and feast my eyes now feast your eyes on this coordinates to something else yes sir here we go it's a mask it's a headtrip trap it's a basket case it's erasing you it's eleastic. anything you are it can put into plastic rack it anything you want you can ask it: girls guys breasts thighs weapons lies magic. tragedy strikes where you like if you lack it. color for your eyes look alive but you're absent. staring at the lights you can feel your inaction. a passionless vacuum your mind is held captive everything from here on out is a massive escape from the fate of a jetplane crashing into skyscraped painted fat face of your master spitting non-stop anti-matter from the tabloids draining to the billboards raping all sense of the natural this! this is how you spell disaster. d i s t r a c t i o n i have no mind in which to use any longer all distraction no action all distraction no action

Outdoor Science 06:31

all the courtyard bubbles in muscles bend and we find we're closing down again all along the spare time ways that we can find one another how you rationalize who you are

i was born on a sinking ship.
raised in a dying forest.
moved to crumbling city after crumbling city.
and now wait for at last to come
