"Summer Shudder"

"Summer Shudder"



Listen when I say,
When I say it's real.
Real life goes undefined,
Why must you be so missable?

Everything you take,
Makes me more unreal.
Real lines are undefined.
How can this be so miserable?

Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
You turned away.

Listen I can't make.
Make a sound or feel.
Feel fine I kissed the lies,
Why must they be so kissable?
Listen as I break.
Break the fourth wall's seal.
Gorgeous eyes shine suicide
When will we be invisible?

Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
We find a way.
Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
You turned away.

This is the fall,
This is the long way down.
And our lives look smaller now,
And our lives look so small.
Willingly crying.

This is the fall,
This is the long way down.
And our lives look smaller now,
And our lives look so small.

Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
We find a way.

Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
We find a way.

Under the summer rain (Burn!)
I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
You turned away...

"Synesthesia"

"Synesthesia"



Heartbreak, incarnate, I'm nothing if not your memories
Heartbreak, please let me be your joy and your pain

Someday, I will be...
I'll be those common words spoken uniquely
Because I may, will forever be floating as you feel.
Where all remaining failed

Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow
Letters of past are tear stained and wrinkled
Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow
Letters of past are tear stained and wrinkled

(Just say...) Say you will follow me (follow me)
Invite me to your memory
(Just sing...) Sing again follow me (follow me)
That long forgotten song

Heartbreak, incarnate, I'm nothing if not your memories
Heartbreak, please let me be your joy and your pain

Someday, I will be...
I'll be that waking warmth from a fading dream
Because I will, I may at best
Float as you feel

Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow
Letters of past look distant and wrinkled
Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow
Letters of past look distant and wrinkled

(Just say...) Say you will follow me (follow me)
Invite me to your memory
(Just sing...) Sing again follow me (follow me)
That long forgotten song

Let me be all the words
Let me be all the words
Let me be all the words
Let me be all the words

Let me feel the words echo in comfort
Let me be all the words that you'd unsay
Let me feel the words echo in comfort, comfort, comfort, comfort
Let me be all the words that you'd unsay, unsay, unsay, unsay

Let me be all the words echoing comfort
Let me be all the words that you'd unsay
Let me be all the words echoing comfort, comfort... comfort
Let me be all the words that you'd unsay, unsay, unsay, unsay

"Synesthesia (Demo Version)"


[Spoken Intro]: "Last night...last night, Mom fainted. I sat there watching,
I sat there waiting, and cringing. And I cried, I cried at the sound, the
sound of whispering white Angels. Oh, where only I seem innocent."

Heartbreak, incarnate, i'm nothing if not your memories.
Your heartbreak please let me be, enjoying your pain.
Some day, I will be, i'll be the common voice for community.
Because I may well forever be, the lonelyness you feel.

Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow,
letters of past, so distant and wrinkled.

"Take The Test"

"Take The Test"



When it comes the time that you have recognized your line
and you realize the path that you will travel through your life.
be sure that what you want is exactly what you're trying to get,
or you'll be speeding toward a cliff without realizing that...
Before you know, the haze makes you slow.
Ignore your future, forget your past.
before you know, cars start to crash.
There are so many choices, the opportunities abound.
Just be sure to keep things straight and be sure to stand your ground.
Let nothing shade your vision, even fight to keep it clear.
Let no one change what's right for you, for when you start to veer.
Before you know, the haze makes you slow.
Ignore your future, forget your past.
before you know, cars start to crash.
Before you know, the haze makes you slow.
Ignore your future, forget your past.
before you know, cars start to crash.
Cars start to crash.
Before you know, the haze makes you slow.
Ignore your future, forget your past.
before you know, cars start to crash (Cars start to crash).

"The Boy Who Destroyed The World"

"The Boy Who Destroyed The World"



Once there was boy who had vibrant glow, but as it goes, someone took it from him.
One day through the rain I heard him meekly moan, he said
"Will you wrap your arms around me as I'm falling?"
Remember when Remember when Remember when we were all so beautiful? Never
Again Never Again But since then we've lost our glow.

They said it hurt their eyes but he would never know that they were filled with
regret as their own dissipated.
He said, "I now feel more desperately alone, even though they wrapped their
arms around me as I'd fallen."

Remember when Remember when Remember when we were all so beautiful? Never
Again Never Again But since then we've lost our glow.
Remember when Remember when Remember when we were all so beautiful? Never
Again Never Again But since then we've lost our glow.

They said it hurt their eyes, but he would never know that they were claiming
regret as their own...
their own dissipated.

"The Checkered Demon"

"The Checkered Demon"



Too much to find, so much so little time.
So many images persist to shade my mind.
Will I ever come around or will I just hit the ground?
Will I still be standing when it all comes down?
Why can't I seem to sort it out?
Why am I always filled with doubt
So many people everywhere,
so self-absorbed without a care of their viral lves.
I'd like to bleed them all, when all is drained who shall hold?
When mindless bodies screw tortured souls,
will somebody be there to catch me when I fall?
Why can't I seem to sort it out.
Why am I always filled with doubt.
How could I always be so
blind? Why can't I figure it out?
I could always hope for change, could always hope to rearrange.
But why not just abandon hope
and tear it all apart, now?

"The Conductor"

"The Conductor"



Drop like the needle
Today I felt the drain
I’ll climb back up to you
On ladders of the rain

Break them down, shake up their beliefs
I’ll show them, show them a believer
300,000 amps
And I’m your warm receiver

When they kill the lights
You’ll remain my conductor
And if they didn’t drain your life
I’ll become your conductor
Don’t cut the connection

Bleed in to black clouds
And I will lick them clean
Turn to a tourniquet
And cinch yourself to me

Strike down now, shake their frail beliefs
And make them new born believers
300,000 amps
And I’m your warm receiver

When they kill the lights
You’ll remain my conductor
And if they didn’t drain your life
I’ll become your conductor

When they kill the lights
You’ll remain my conductor
You’ll remain my conductor
You’ll remain my conductor

"The Despair Factor"

"The Despair Factor"


Along the path where the stream is talking,
I breathe the mist and continue walking.
The wood it whispers in a language of it's own.
As a sigh escaped my lips,
I feel the light caress of fingertips that,
steal away the breath and leave me on my own.

Waiting by the stairs. (Waiting, I despair)
Waiting, I despair. (Waiting by the stairs)

My whole life is a dark room.
One, big, dark room.

Do I hear the hollow sound,
Footsteps resounding on this frozen ground,
Or the familiar disappointment of the echoes of my own?

Waiting by the stairs. (Waiting i despair)
Waiting, I despair. (Waiting by the stairs)

[whispers:]
Somehow I ended up here in between,
Where there is always the comfort,
Of knowing I'll never be seen.
When I fall
When I fall
I wait for just one touch,
And I fall

Weightless,
Endless,
Faithless, I'll adore you.
A single touch, before I fade. Painless let me pass through.
Weightless,
Endless,
Faithless, I'll adore you.
A single touch, before I fade. Painless let me pass through.

"The Devil Loves You"

"The Devil Loves You"



Do you understand what I'm trying to say? Have you ever felt?
Ever felt this way? Tainted with rage you can't
drain away or it will cost you your life. I couldn't care more.
Do you ever absorb what shouldn't be touched? Have you ever
cared? Ever cared this much?
Do you think it is I who is out of touch, or are you too scared to think at all?
I couldn't care more.
As your friends fall does it tear your heart?
Do tears fill your eyes as your world falls apart?
Do you notice at all,
or are you sailing sublime? Am I completely alone?

"The Embrace"

"The Embrace"



Watching it crumble
Might have eased the hurt
Feeling it disappear
Only made worse

Pulling it piece by piece
Slicing up ribbons could dismiss
To slowly disintegrate
Could have been the perfect gift

May you feel this, while you sleep
Push the poisonous thorns in you
May you feel this while you wake
Bear your poisonous thorns

Walk into traffic
Running with open knives
Searching for mercy here
That I'm too weak to find

To take my deepest breath
I walk into the raging sea
To drown out this emptiness
It's all you have left for me

May you feel this, while you sleep
Push the poisonous thorns in you
May you feel this while you wake
Bear your poisonous thorns

I hope you feel this
I hope that you can feel this
As it's fading the darkness shifts (the darkness shifts)
This may be the perfect gift

May you feel this, while you sleep
Push the poisonous thorns in you
May you feel this while you wake
Bear your poisonous thorns

May you feel this, may you feel this while you wake
May you feel this, may you feel this while you wake
