The Quiet Plains
03:54
|

|
(quiet on the plains)
you and i met eyes in the dim light
i remember faces, but not yours
fate was busy dressing up again
i'm out here on the quiet plains
left the perch for things imagined
i remember me, but not you
i was busy changing shapes again
fate's out here on the quiet plains
you and me like fruits on a dead tree
i remember things i don't recall (quiet on the plains)
i was busy planning my escape
all the way to the quiet plains
sneaking off to the quiet plains
sneaking off to the quiet plains
sneaking off to the quiet plains
finished at the start
only everything is brand new
traveling backwards now
that's what i do
finished at the start
only everything is brand new
traveling backwards now
that's what i do best

|
portal to the other side of my brain
take a look, only make it quick
it's closing up for the millionth time
and i wonder what i'm gonna find
no more wrong or right, something i define
on the other side
memory of the other side of my brain
piece by piece, try to resurrect
the experience
it's midnight here
and i'm all alone
it's dark as hell
it's a funeral
portal, open up
portal, open up

Death in 20/20
03:11
|
|||
|
in step with the ghost in front of you
you could be someone else if you wanted to
there's a tidal wave near the horizon's eyes
if i recall, that's by design, as designed
(of course, that's the only kind)
and it never reaches shore no matter how long i give it
all in the fog of the last thirty minutes
whoa, whoa, whoa, take it slow
there's no point in always being on the go if you're going nowhere
it gets old getting old or so i've been told
you don't need to tell me
i see death in 20/20

Déjà Vu
02:27
|
|||
|
i’ll get around to it
but i need specifics
the levels fluctuate
in the thin space
it creates mistakes
as the stories fade
does it need to be
confirmed at all?
you can wait for it
but you’ll need directions
the temperature rises
it’s an advertisement
you know what to do
do it already
i think i know what’s next
but i’ll need a clue

Ladybug Blues
02:02
|
|||
|
undoubtable red of the ladybug
but only one color i'll choose
blue, got the blues, got the blues
keeping to yourself
you remind me of myself
you are a stranger
you are giving me the blues
corner of my eye
shadow that creeps by
you come as one and leave as two
blues, got the blues, got the blues

Patterns
02:33
|
|||
|
you know my next move
before there's a next move
(i'm so transparent)
and you know my patterns
the ones i can't recognize
but i want my patterns all hidden away
i want my patterns to myself
i want my patterns all hidden away
i want my patterns to myself

Different Songs
02:52
|
|||
|
i know the moment of terror by heart
but i can't really pick her apart
she walks so fast and always dresses sharp
if there's room enough for changing, i'll change
there's work and sleep and all that remains
but even so, it always goes okay
i know the brink of disaster quite well
but i can't seem to look him in his eyes
and all along, he's just the nicest guy
you and i are listening to different songs
you and i are listening to different ones
you and i are listening to different songs
you and i are listening to different ones
|

there's not enough time in a day
there are words i've been trying to find
things getting lost in my mind
things getting lost in my mind
my mind
my mind
there's not enough time in a day
there are friends i've been quiet to
things i've been dying to do
things i've been dying to do
things i've been dying to do
things i've been dying to do

Habitat
03:37
|
|||
|
forget your heavy heart
say hello to this habitat
sure, you went and ran away before
but now it's time you made it back
if i had my way at all
the way that it has me
i'd adapt
i'd adapt
i'd adapt and you'd see
that i can be, you can be, we can be free
if you measure in miles
you'll have trouble with an inch
you're your own pioneer
take your time
and this time's opportune
i see plenty of room
to adapt
to adapt
to adapt and you'd see
that you will be, i will be, we will be free
if you're caught in the mud
why not just roll around?
when you're king of the dirt
at least you've got a crown
it's always a suitable habitat
if you know how
if you know how
to adapt
it's always a suitable habitat
if you know how
if you know how
to adapt

Wrong Dimension
01:31

|
i'm in the wrong dimension

Climb
06:02
|
|||
|
maybe some things aren't quite what they seem
if i could just manage this rigid machine
right now, it's all a dream
it's all a dream
right now, it's all a dream
it's all a dream
(out here, it's all a climb)
climb it with, climb it with, climb it with me
climb, will you climb, will you climb it with me?
climb it with, climb it with, climb it with me
climb, will you climb, will you climb it with me?
climb with me
can you climb with me?
can you climb with me?
with me
(right now, it's all a dream)
climb with me
(out here, it's all a climb)
can you climb with me?
(right now, it's all a dream)
will you climb with me?
with me
if you would climb with me, we'd finally know
what's on the other side waiting below
when you feel tired, i'll reach out my hand
i'll give in to all that this climb will demand
we'll give in to all that this climb will demand
