Everyone 02:47
What could I say? We're all waiting on the world to change How long must we wait? Wait out alee At sea we must stay Queasy And rattled by The past away we must stay Everyone is so angry Today Everyone is so angry Today A loss of joy so great Crippled by the way things have become Everyone Everyone Everyone Is just so angry today Out alee at sea we must stay Queasy and rattled by the past away We must stay Everyone Everyone Everyone.

Withdrawn 01:18
Do you fear what I fear? Tell the kids I love them I've grown withdrawn I won't be seen again Do you fear what I fear?

My Left Hand 02:07
It's hard to believe How long it's been Since I could breathe It's hard to believe How long it's been Since I had breathed My left hand Saved me from certain fatality There's no time to grieve But there's more time for me.

Waking up 05:42
So this is where our story starts? Or is this where it ends? The past is set in stone The path is set in stone “Do you know where this ends?” As I said it’s just beginning Waking up covered in bedsores Always tired They open up Open up It’s not the same Oh how things have changed Lately I’ve been wracking my brain Thinking about the same old things Every day I wake up tired Never gotten enough sleep How long have I been under? I’m so tired I can’t think Waking up Covered in bedsores The coma I will slip into I don’t know if I’ve been on my way to Am I wasting out? Or am I just drunk? I’ve been losing weight for many years Anxiety has filled me full of tears And it’ll kill me one of these years It’s not even a question The question therein lies whether I can learn to cope I’ve been under for way too long So much so that I can’t remember the sun I can’t remember Do you feel bad for me? Do you think that I should quit? Every day is nearer to the end Running out of time Waking up Covered in bedsores Been thinking an awful lot of things With a blanket wrapped about me Is everything okay? And is it worth repairing? Has it all just fallen apart? I think they’re one in the same.

Welcome to the indiscriminate slaughter of the dogs I'm sending you my love and I miss you so dearly The croon of the endling echoes out to fall on blind eyes and deafened ears Should I wade into the harbor out of the bay east towards the sea? Due east to the Atlantic where the wind blows out alee My face grows red and purple As I'm aspirating leaves That's what it feels like to be me The orphan source set to explode Ready to be spread Killed by invisible forces Turn all of the top soil And bury me below It's the fatal contagion of the tortured soul Should I wade into the harbor out of the bay east towards the sea? Due east to the Atlantic where the wind blows out alee My face turns reddened I told you the truth but at what cost to you and I...so? Should I wade into the harbor out of the bay east towards the sea? Due east to the Atlantic where the wind blows out alee Should I wade? This is the meltdown of your mind The corium of skull strewn and scattered about your room We're starting over Encased in lead and concrete tombs From death and back to the womb.

Encumbered 04:05
It's almost as if nobody cares I remember everything from all of those years I fear that the things that I struggle with will follow me to the end Impending doom It's not like I wanted to It's not like I wanted to It's not like I hadn't tried The failures in your life They pile up For safekeeping I think about them from time to time The world that we live in It's not built for people like me Please don't panic I wish I could tell you everything But I can't I must pretend Nobody knows it And it'll stay that way And that's the same as before Everyone has feared it It's time to call it quits It's time.

Stoke the fire Of an already dire situation Premonitions of a body lying Motionless and still Regarding my will Write it up neatly Give it all to my sister For when I'm gone I want something good for her 'Cause I am the final bird I am the final bird I am the final bird.

Do you feel the softness of my stubbled skin? When I look in the mirror I see all the damage I've done over the years I don't look the same as I used to And lest we forget our graven fight I will win I will win I will win I will win I will win I will win I will win I will win

Endling 04:30
I've failed again The argument I don't understand Clench and beat yourself with both hands I should run and flee out to the desert where it's clean and lonely He said to me "Hold on Magnolia" When he sang so gently swaying side to side in my Mini On i83 By my favorite towers looming over my home city Teach me to speak Physical illiteracy destroying me slowly I am failing again The argument I don't understand Clench and beat yourself with both hands Into the drifting sands Oh to breathe Oh I've lost love and faith in humanity I don't seem to fit in this society Teach me to read Read your faces and your bodies But I'm torn I don't want people to know me for real I should run and flee out to the desert where it's clean and lonely And so Phil said "the true state of all things" And that brings much solace to me Knowing that's how it will be The monotony of life flowing by Daily It is what it is you see.
