Song Title: Ready…Set!
Lyrics:
Just missed the mark
Better yet
I’ll compromise
With second best
I cut my teeth playing the bends
You take the lead, if you want it
Mixed messages
I’ll keep it brief
No company wants misery
A diamond ring from some old flea
I’ll take your word and let it be
Run-of-the-mill
Last in the draft
I’m looking for a die to cast
Beyond the gate
You pay a fee
But soon you’ll
Gain identity
You know yourself as well as me
If you want it, you have can it
Ready…set!
Am I good to go?
I feel it flutter
Moving me along
What is this aching in my bones?
I can’t surrender,
Forced to bring it home
I feel it flutter
I feel it flutter
I feel it flutter
I feel it flutter,
Forced to bring it home
What is this aching in my bones?
What is this aching?

Song Title: Pressure Principle
Lyrics:
Come up for air
A bed of nails
It’s a senseless fear
Elastic lungs
Keep your mouth shut
It’s gonna hit you like a truck
It’s gonna hit you like a truck
Breathe through your teeth
A narrow path
That's indigo
It takes you back
Five things you see
You’re holding fast
It's getting deep
I’m seeing black
All black
Under pressure again
Putting myself under pressure again
Myself
Myself
Myself
Myself
I forgive myself and I set myself free
All is well in my world

Song Title: Currents
Lyrics:
Connecting currents between shadows
I watch them shimmer on the silo
And I take a step back in myself
Projecting prisms on the green waves
I watch the swimmers take the bait
And you were out there,
Wearing the sky on your face
Dissolving letters on the pages
Make little sense, so I erase them
You’re so much more but you won’t face it
You can’t ignore the way your heart’s racing
Connecting currents between shadows
I watch them shimmer on the silo
And I take a step back in myself
Back in myself
And you were out there
And you were out there

Song Title: Dreamspeak
Lyrics:
Can you hear the siren singing?
It's your name on her lips
Innocent amusement,
Watching,
Knowing from the outset
You were never different
Subtle disappointment
Dreaming and projecting
On your own
Wanting to be there
but better off alone
You won’t know
If you’re still awake
Or sleeping through the motions
Better off alone
Can you hear them crying?
Mourning,
Coping with your absence
What’s the use in fighting?
Trying,
Only second guessing yourself
Knowing from the outset
You were never different
Sudden disappointment
Dreaming and projecting
On your own
Wanting to be there
but better off alone
You won’t know
If you’re still awake
Or sleeping through the motions
Better off alone
Speak up
Let go
Say what you won’t
Speak up
Let go
Speak up
Let go

Song Title: Dance Alone
Lyrics:
Gentle hands
Shiver against my skin
You want to talk
I dance
Steady hips
Stutter against my ribs
I want to watch
You dance
Dance alone
Dance alone
I want to watch you dance alone
Dance alone
Dance alone
I want to watch you dance alone
Moving far
Pull at my desperate heart
You walk away
I dance
In the dark
I know it could fall apart
I want to watch you dance
Dance alone
Dance alone
I want to watch you dance alone
Dance alone
Dance alone
I want to watch you dance alone

Lyrics:
You’re an expectation,
I’m another night wasted on the outline
Practiced at being fine
I can make it painless,
You give yourself away
When you say that nothing’s changed
Can’t look at me the same
And I’m closer now than I’ve ever been
Standing on the edge when the blade goes in
You shine like a daydream
And I can’t resign to a loveless body
But you get in my head
I’ll hide in the smokescreen
While you take what you want
Make it look so easy
And I get in my head
You’re losing patience
And I shut down,
Waiting for the right time
Black bird sitting on the line
I can make it painless
I’m pushing you away
When I say that nothing’s changed
But can’t look at you the same
And I’m closer now than I’ve ever been
Standing on the edge when the blade goes in
You shine like a daydream
And I can’t resign to a loveless body
But you get in my head
I’ll hide in the smokescreen
While you take what you want
Make it look so easy
And I get in my head

Song Title: Vertigo
Lyrics:
That invitation always gets me going
Short-lived illusion
Until the dizzy spell rolls in
I clean and clean and clean and clean and clean and clean
Erase the moment
Eternities between the world and me
But when you came I owned it
Regaining balance
Not working up the courage to be in free fall
Adrenaline surging
I clean and clean and clean and clean and clean and clean
Erase the moment
Like centuries we turn a leaf
To little change
Filled with hoping
I still get the spins
I still get the spins
Below me things feel hesitant
Painting with my fingertips,
All the places we said we’d go
Is it free to be on the edge all on your own?
Been spending my time,
giving it all away
Keeping myself awake
Watching the stars take shape
(Nisa)
I still get the spins
I still get the spins
I still get the spins

Song Title: Breach
Lyrics:
Cut the shit and walk right in
A hall of mirrors
No illusions
No forgiveness
And honestly,
All hope is lost and you should know it
I’m reaching for the endless dark
You don’t seem daunted
You don’t seem daunted
You don’t seem daunted
Replicate my unkind skin
I can’t afford to patch you up then reignite it
Corrosive to the inside of these smoker’s lungs
Adrenaline-fueled intoxication is my refuge
This is my refuge
Is my refuge
You are my refuge
But it escapes you
Excommunicate this form
Your whole being
Hostile to the natural-born
It's so deceiving
Giving in to your design
Two cells receiving
Chemicals that will not bind
They change the process
Change the process
You don’t seem daunted
You don’t seem daunted
Cut the shit and walk right in
A hall of mirrors
No illusions
No forgiveness
To break a promise

Song Title: Crossing
Lyrics:
Wrong day
Wrong day for this bone to ache
Relax
It’ll get better
Release
Ironing out the kinks
I brace,
Brace for your company
You don’t know
What it takes from me
You don’t know what it takes
Pick up
Picking up after dark
Realize no one can take the heat
So far
Getting more out of reach
My touch seems to betray me
I'm not gonna question
You know when you’ve the crossed the line
I’m not gonna question
You know when you crossed it
I'm not gonna question
You know when you’ve the crossed the line
I'm not gonna question
I'm no good at asking
You don’t know what it takes from me
You don’t know what it takes

Song Title: Trance Form
Lyrics:
Drain the ocean dry
Quiet on the march back home
Pain that won’t subside
Begins to numb and morph
Transform
Transform
Discover something new
Break alone
Heal in two
Unfettered
Look at you
I see violet skies you can run to
Transform
Transform
Transform
Transform
Transform
Transform
Transform
Transform

Careless is the line
I’ve been trying to reach
Did I make you feel at home?
Are you wanting company?
Senseless to the sun
That burns straight through your lies and indecision
Are you listening?
It's the opposite of being on your own
Days I should regret
I love it when you say
We can still pretend
Hiding sea glass in the kitchen
Can’t stop myself from wishing but you’re gone
Your palms against the break
Did you know it then?
We were sinking hard
I wanted you to swim
but once I filled you up
We fell out of touch
and into a cold front
Blurry vision, are you listening?
It's the opposite of being on your own
Days I should regret
I love it when you say
We can still pretend
Hiding sea glass in the kitchen
Can’t stop myself from wishing but you’re gone
Careless is the line
You’re so out of reach
I want to feel your touch
Can’t let it get to me
Senseless to the sun
That burns straight through your lies and indecision
Are you listening?
