Void

There’s a void I’ve been filling for sometime with nothing good
Found the hurt in the foreshadow that was a line of blood
I’ve been hiding for the lion’s share of a lonely life
A little people shy
I’ve not been dry, for far too long that I fear for what’s inside
And so it goes, simply is at always was, and always will seem to go
Only time will tell the rest
There’s a void I’ve been filling for some time with nothing good
Meet the means that could satisfy these needs, baby please
Watch the world, watch your back
Feel the waves when they crash
Watch the world swallow all your plans
Curse the stars, listen back
Hear the absence that is left
Curse the smile on your face that you lack
So take the dose that will help the most
Till you feel the rope tighten on your throat
You see we’re all just sailing home at our own pace
Watch the world, watch your back
Feel the waves when they crash
Watch the world swallow anything and everything that’s left
Anyone that you have ever loved

I fell short on a couple of things
You were left in the dark
I’m gonna pay for these terrible ways
You’re gonna teach me
Cut this cord if you wanna
You’re gonna feel how you’re gonna
I’ll wait around for another, and another
You were safe below the moon, weren’t you?
Morning light, much to bright, blinds you
So you sleep
She’s a stubborn shadow, please believe me
Posing like a sentimental feeling
Trying to sweat it out like a fever
All your hope is lost and been far removed
Tied your wings up tightly to a lead balloon
Slipped a couple hints but you were not amused
Did we take this too far this time?
You were safe below the moon, weren’t you?
What led you this way?
You question yourself
I’ll shoulder that blame
I’ve made up my grave
You were safe below the moon, weren’t you?
Morning light, much to bright, blinded you
Felt the heat, but you didn’t learn
Play with fire and you’re bound to burn
A lot of bones in this haunted home
You fear you’ll find what you’re looking for
So you sleep

Dandelion

First kiss to last it was June to June
The years with you in between
Have another for me
Mishap in greener grass, it left a stain
It sent you home with the blues
I’ll have another for you
Where in your heart do you hide me?
Is it six feet below what you show?
Keep your voice quiet if you love me tonight
Wouldn’t want anyone to know
You look so comfortable
I need a miracle
The clock keeps on taunting me with each setting sun
Mostly I wallow here
Self loathing superstar
The weather seems better there
Wherever you are
Can I get anything?
Some sort of offering
Share with me your secret of how you keep this at bay
Slip into a dream of mine
Turn into a dandelion
Welcome in the hurricane
I wish all the best things for you

I Don’t Belong Here
04:23

There’s a beast lying low in the weeds
Theres a promise that I’d like to keep
Inching closer with eyes set on me
There’s a halo of hurt around my head
Keeps my chin pinned real deep in my chest
Beneath a large woven web when I rest
With far too much dread for some feathers to catch
I don’t belong here was all that I said
Spiraling downward, I was out of my head
I’d never hurt you if left with a choice
But something’s been aching for most of my life
There’s a whole lot I’ve buried below
You only know what I want you to know
Mostly I use you to lessen the load
All I do is take
I don’t belong here was all that I said
Spiraling downward, I was out of my head
I’d never hurt you if left with a choice
But something’s been aching for most of my life
Sleeping in a coffin
Trying to get to heaven
Drown in holy water
Again and again
Dwindled little spirit
Narrowed down to nothing
Just above the surface
Just as the tide’s rolling in

Lose

Where were you when I broke the skin?
Or when you told me you weren’t with him?
I never knew and I never will
You just tell me the things that I want to hear
So there’s a notion of lies, it lies between you and I
And we walk all upon it like Jesus Christ
And I’ve said before so I’ll say it again
The more you cross me the less I forgive you
How do you find that you could simplify
A quarrel by which was dealt with silence
With nothing more but keeping quiet?
Never did quite get that logic
So again and again, there a benevolent limb
Left hanging out in the cold without a hand there to hold
And its the circle were in, can’t find a way to admit when we’re wrong
Now don’t you go on telling anybody anything
You’re gonna lose
End up holdin’ on to all it was that you lost
I’ve never done the things I now have done
Before to myself or to somebody else
I guess that’s just how it goes when you’re young and you grow
With someone with you to push and to pull
Why you always run when the run gets rough?
Sometimes you just gotta go, yeah you just gotta go, I know
And maybe it all just feels a little too close
But baby don’t you forget what you love the most
Now don’t you go on telling anybody anything
You’re gonna lose
End up holdin’ on to all it was that you lost
You left me hanging, left me hanging on a memory
One of you
Can’t help but to think I’m not the only one
Never really mattered anyway
Spent all my time, hoping everything would work out right
Really was for nothing at all seeing it all now
As you take your place in the past
You walk over wet cement
Now I’m stuck retracing the steps you took to forget
Don’t you go on telling anybody anything
You’re gonna lose
Ended up losing you

Living Hell
03:46

Limbs are hitting every corner in my brain
Left no room here for nothing
With a pose like that, one would think you’d tire
Tally it up from when it all fell down
Hell of a pill to try and swallow
With a count like that, heaven knows I’m tired
Fell behind chasing a feeling
All this time I spend on you
You move subliminal
Slip my mind I really wish you would
Poisoned fruit with irrefutable charm
You’re so cyclical
You’re like a deja vu revolving in reverse
Little infinite loop with that habitual charm
Fell behind chasing a feeling
All this time I spend on you
How does it feel?
To have something real
To lose something real
Pour me out and sweep me under the rug
I live under your thumb
I live up on a shelf
Feels like a living hell
(You sweep me under
I am the creak in the quiet
The one you thought you’d forgotten)
All this time wasted on you

Bait

Patiently waiting, you’re betting on me
While Im baiting you carefully for company
See the heart it gets lonely, it needs something sweet
Like a night full of laughter thats lacking in sleep
Cold to the core, I am nothing you need
I will dampen that light you so vibrantly beam
I am more of a burden than you’d like to believe
If you give it some time, you will see what I mean
All of your plans, they are all up to chance
And you hope and you pray that I make the most sense
You’re beginning to wonder with these lines in the sand
It just might be a lifetime before I let you in
Fooled you for a moment there I guess
Made you think that I was someone else
Made you feel like I was worth the risk
You’ll hang on to that one for good
So you took the chance
Now it don’t make sense
Swift are the days
That slip through your hands
And take to the wind
Because I won’t be letting you in
It might be a lifetime
You’re searching for something you’re not gonna find

Couldn’t really make any sense of you now
As it all stays the same
This pixelated face to face is tasteless for me, tasteless
Now you’re lying now in your mausoleum
Quietly tucked away
The bill is paid, the space is great
Respects get paid out daily
Now you still follow me around
Float up somewhere near the ceiling
As I drift away, I breathe you into lucid dreaming
Never got to tell you about, June and the hell that she brought
Never told you before she took you
Quite the long run that you’ve been on lately
The shape of you starts to change
I fantasized you were a children’s toy
That I shook real hard until you were no more
Feel a little smaller now than last year
The walls grow closer still
I’m running out of air to breath
And somehow you’re still echoing
Now you still follow me around
Float up somewhere near the ceiling
As I drift away, I breathe you into lucid dreaming
Never got to tell you about, June and the hell that she brought
Never told you before she took you
Some days I wish the water would fall on top of me and wash you off

Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!)
