Aquatic

Weightless space undersea
What'll I find if I swim too deep?
Sunken gods lost by time
What are you if not a thing of mine?
Drifting helpless through the waves
You and I are willing slaves
Silhouette through deep blue sea
Tell me what I want to see
Weightless space undersea
What'll I find when I swim too deep?

21st Season
04:08
|

Seventeen seasons, seventeen seasons
I'm through with this
Eighteen seasons, nineteen seasons
I'll cling to this
Twentieth season, twentieth season
I've grown in tens
Twentieth season, twentieth season
This will be the end
I'm on a horse with a sword in hand
I'm riding to my final stand
If ever you are nearby
I'll find you in the end
In time
Twenty-first season, twenty-first season
We're on the mend
Twenty-first season, twenty-first season
Counting the dead
I'm on a horse with a sword in hand
I'm riding to my final stand
If ever you are nearby
I'll find you in the end
In time

Zero

I've seen it all
One step ago
Out of the window
And into the streets
I've seen it fall
Nothing at all
Tree skins and circuitry
Fall to us all from the gods
I'm glad I came all this way with you
And followed the blood you paint with your shoes
Here we are now on the outskirts of town
Gates outstretched and open but only for you
Only for you
Nice to meet you
Silent and still
Let's drink 'til our souls are weary and worn
I believed you
A hero today
Just take my hand
If you can find mine in this mess
I'm glad I came all this way with you
And followed the blood you paint with your shoes
Here we are now on the outskirts of town
Gates outstretched and open but only for you
Only for you

The City
03:46
|
|||
Light here bleeds into the ocean
It bleeds into the skyline
So I can see for miles
And I feel everyone's a liar
Everyone's just fake
Like me
But somewhere there are lights
Somewhere far away
And I know it's alright
To find another way
City, I see you so clearly
I love you so dearly
I believe in us
And in my favorite mindset
Everything's just perfect
Everything's so real
But somewhere there are lights
Somewhere far away
And I know it's alright
To find another way
So dress your best and we'll go out west
And we'll find what you're looking for
And everything else and more
But in the meantime, we'll know our names
With every spark to our flame

Au Revoir Nexus

Sitting on top of my favorite satellite, waiting for you to come by
Kicking the ground with my least favorite shoes while I listen to you tell a lie
I see nothing but sadness
Misery coming our way
I hope I will still have the sense when it's time to get away, sorry, goodbye
I've been down this road before and I know it's no good for me, never, at all
But I can't help but think that I'll get what I want just as long as I'm closing my eyes
I see nothing but sadness
Misery coming our way
I hope I will still have the sense when it's time to get away, sorry, goodbye
I hope I will still have the sense when it's time to get away, sorry, goodbye

I'm trying to find a better state of mind for me
Stand in the line and try to find the time to make you my own
It's so hard to find a way to keep the peace between us
Deep in the ocean, it's hard to find the time
I'm trying to find a better state of mind

Anchorage
03:02
|
|||
You're my anchor, honey
Whenever I'm up, you feel down
I'll try to send you my love
But know I can't stay on the ground
In this atmospheric silence
What I feel's so loud and clear
It's the strongest moment I've felt
It echoes back for years and years
But everyone I know keeps hoping
For this king to take his throne
And even though it's poisoned
Rusted gold flows through his veins
Don't you feel the same?
Don't you feel the same?
Don't you feel the same?
Don't you fear the same?
And in this morning after
What I feel's so loud and clear

Wishing Well
02:45
|

Every moment that day you wished that the snow would just melt away
Cause what you've got in your heart is cold enough for today
You think about what you got and you wish there was another way
Cause every second you waste brings you closer to your last day together
With every leaf I pass by, I wish there was another way
Cause I don't wanna think about the reality that's gonna stay
Cause everything's gonna get better
I know it's true cause it's all you say

Fin

The stars are green and I can feel my feet; they're lifting high up off the ground
And I don't need to make a scene
This is where I leave my things
Leave the car, forget the dogs - they'll be fine (I hope it's true)
Make a place for them to stay in the style of my time
Summer spark, we can start over, make a family of our own
In the dark, we're apart, but I'll be watching you, my dear
In this space, I become what I was before I was
And I feel like I can finally breathe, cause I ain't weighted down no more
The stars are green and I can feel my feet; they're lifting high up off the ground
And I don't need anything
This is where I take my train

Altitude

In this airplane, I'll float to depths
In this airplane, I'll see so much
In this airplane, I'll miss your touch
We'll go far away somewhere, we'll go far away
We'll go far away sometime today
It's this world you love so much
Studying books, though, it's not enough
You're the only thing I see
You're all I want right here with me
But we'll go far away somewhere, we'll go far away
We'll go far away sometime today
Take all the time you need
Take all the time you need
Take all the time you need
Take all the time you need

Fork in the Road
02:13
|
|||
It seems you and I have come to that time
The fork in the road is here now
And I know you'd never think to follow me down
The path that I chose for you, no
Cause I know you better now
Yeah, I know you better now
And I feel like you have hidden your cards
This whole damn time from me, but
I'll let you go if you'll promise you'll know
That you're leaving our perfect seashell
Cause I know you better now
Yeah, I know you better now
Cause I know you better now
I know you better now

Pastime
06:20
|

Count the animals until they're culled
Until the skin turns black and rain will surely fall
How the hell are we to get through this
On a day like this?
Flock of ravens deep inside my skull
Won't begin to change my mind or my soul
Who the hell are we to get through this
In a world like this?
I'll watch the sky with you as the clouds turn into ash
Until our blood forgets to keep our spines alive
And it's a bitter life to come this close to death
But it's the aftermath of the choices of our souls
And it'd be nice to know the things you think of me
Every molecule that hates the past three days
Cause in the end of times, all we have is our own flesh
Cause in the end of times, all we have is our own flesh

Just stay with me, we'll be okay
Okay with me, just stay with me
And we'll forget the lives we've lost
At sea, at sea, away with me
So we'll collect the things we need
And then embark onto the sea
For all we left, we left behind
Our second skin, and who we've been
The ghosts at sea - the ones we flee
They climb aboard and weave a storm
The Captain, too, he sees us move
And opens wide to claim our lives
For we've been doomed since we first bloomed
Those years ago, from whence we row
So take a coin under your tongue
And let the sea into your lungs
