All My Friends

There’s a rivalry inside of my soul
Like a stranger in a strange world unknown
There’s a side of me that walks a lonely road
I’m ashamed it could feel so good to come back home
Got a feeling in my bones I cannot shake
And the pressure in my chest keeps me awake
Yeah it feels like this is a last goodbye
I’m terrified I’m sinking once again
Give my love and my best
To all my friends
Paid a primal fee for this honesty of mine
Left a set of lies I’ve told myself behind
It’s a step too far with a pen too sharp and I
I’m not turning back from this final closing line
All my friends they were right all along
That sometimes there’s nothing at all

Horizons

I got hit with the news
Like a summertime blues
Like a cat. 5 hurricane
I was traveling alone
When she called up and told me
That she’d been in the hospital for days
She insisted everything was alright when I questioned what was wrong
So we mused on our past and together we laughed
But the next day she was gone
Nostalgic feelings hit me right there when it hurt
And every time I get a little bit older, they just keep hitting worse
Cause now I feel just like I did way back when we were young
Barely hanging on like a hopeless setting sun
And in that moment where the light still shines to guide her through
As horizons do, it’s the salad days she’ll hold onto
I found the letters she wrote
The pictures, the notes, the hand drawn anime
We were happy and dumb, kids having fun
Innocent and unafraid
I know they say you shouldn’t live in the past
Cause it ain’t ever coming back
But the memories and all of the gifts and the calls
Were some of the best days I ever had
Another night spent reeling, wishing I’d have known
Oh Hiroko, no don’t you go thinking you’re out there on your own
Now I feel just like I did way back when we were young
Barely hanging on, life had only just begun
And I will always find the light which shines to guide me through
As her eyes could do in those days
I still see her smile, her smile – a chef’s kiss
Exquisite perfection, fingers bounce right off the lips
Now I feel just like I did way back when we were young
Barely hanging on, like a hopeless setting sun
And in that moment where the light still shines to guide us through
As horizons do, it’s the salad days we’ll hold onto

Whispered Rally Cries
04:09
|

|
This is a call to fight a signal through the night
While we all say goodbye to everything
We’ll set it on fire
And watch it burn
And as the flames will climb they’re headed for the sky
You’ve got the will to fight there’s still some time
To make it all right
So make it right
Whispered rally cries never get purchase
Until they’re shouted out loud
We’ve got a future wide open
If only we could see what’s at stake
Raise the flag on our graves
I’m so angry and broken
Watching our children’s hopes slip away
Watch them all slip away
I’m so angry and broken
Watching our children’s hopes slip away

Come on now, turn around and live once again
It’s do or die, choose a side, come on
Take back your life
You can ride it out or shut it down and wait for the end
Can you decide to decide come on
Quit wasting time
Stuck with a sense where the whole world is fading away
Left in its place are just shadows outlined in dull grey
Dressed in black on all black it moves to attack
Like a ghost with no face or a name
Permanently and so silently taking away, taking away
Come on now, turn around and live once again
You’re hiding like you’re paralyzed, come on
Take back your life
Will you ride it out or shut it down and wait for the end
It’s do or die, choose a side, come on
Quit asking why
The lines that grace the corners and the edges fade into the dark
Fade into the dark
A slow regression now to turn the hands of time back to the start
Right back to the start
Step out from the blackout and fall back into the light
Make the most of it while there’s still time, yeah

Breathe

Slow it down, turn it back around
Take a breath and let it all out
You gotta breathe, everything’s fine
You gotta make everything right, I know
It feels like nowhere to go
Say goodbye, and let her go into the night
When you finally reach for new love, you’ll know
That there’s life waiting on the other side
Maybe all the answers you’ll come to know
Will bring you right back home
Give it some time
Slow it down turn it back around
Take a breath and let it all out
Dry those eyes, everything’s fine
You gotta be strong now just ride this out
Let me show you how
Take my hand and run through the pain

The Last Collab
06:10

Fake a smile & hide behind your one true love
Don’t mind those glaring lights above
Take your medicine from the blade of your pocketknife
There will be no anxiety tonight
You’re always there
Inside my head again
I swear we shared a lack of confidence
So I want to know just how you’ve gone and bested all my heroes
I want to know that you know
That I’ll carry your torch as far as I can go
It’s all in my head
These spirits are pulling me down and they don’t relent
I close my eyes and wait for it to end
Grief’s death grip has taken its hold and I’m struggling
Up in my head
Wandering around It starts to rain as I
Spit my curses at the sky
That big black storm cloud watches my every move
And I hear the rolling thunder right on cue...
It’s always there
Inside my head again
I swear, I needed more than confidence
I want to know just how I fell so far from all my heroes
I want to know how to know
That I’ve taken this as far as I can go
It’s all in my head
These spirits are spinning me ‘round and they don’t relent
I close my eyes and wait for it to end
Grief’s death grip tightens its hold and I’m struggling up in my head
It’s all in my head
These spirits are dragging me down and they don’t relent
I close my eyes and wait for it to end
Grief’s death grip has taken its toll and I’m struggling....
The pain we feel is alive here in this moment
As the pain we feared is realized here in this moment
The pain we suffer is what ties us to this moment
But the pain we share is what binds us in this moment
