You came so far and wanna go back. You've become some masochist. You perch your head, chin on your shoulder. You thought you'd learn as you got older. Well I can't fight the itch, there's nothing new to talk about. How do I leave it all to chance? Left to luck believing in. Left to luck alone. Left to luck. Well I can't fight the itch, there's nothing new to talk about. How do I leave it all?

Take your time or borrow some of mine. Take your time. You're young man, you've got life. If all you are is all you want to be... If all you are is all you want, then stay. But take a ride. Alone now, feel the night. Take a ride. Come on man. You've got life. It's on the table, reaching underground. You're good and able but you won't be for long. If all you are is all you want to be... If all you are is all you want, then stay. But I'll go. Don't stay. Let's go. I know. Don't.

Figures 03:33
House up on the Hill, young and dumb. Tired, reeling, still winter sun. I'd been walking when on came a song. Got to thinking I had it all wrong. Cabin on the lake, you were gone. Stubborn, silent, snake, never wrong. I'd been writing and waiting for you. Love was lying and swearing the truth. Now you're lonely. Now you're lonely. So I traced the edge of my eye. Scared to death of outside the lines. I'd been trying to picture you cold. Told you twice I knew you weren't alone. Now you're lonely. Now you're lonely. Now you're lonely. Now you're lonely.

Vow 04:15
Lying is safe enough. It's all for free, anything you want. Behind my back, I'm saving up. You catch no glare man, you're never caught. You're made the same as all you have. You kept it for yourself. You're made the same as all you have. You kept it for your lonely life. Call me out man, shake me down. It's me on me for another round. And I know well I haven't found what makes me honest and keeps me sound. You're made the same as all you have. You kept it for yourself. You're made the same as all you have. You kept it for your lonely life.

Here you are, ghosting through the scenery. Another night, holding hollow endlessly. It's nice to have a place to call my own. To watch the sun, orange-red through closed eyes. Fade away. Leave me still and breathing sound. When I awake, I am yours again. But I still have a place to call my own. To watch the sun, orange-red through closed eyes. To watch the sun and warm alive. You're only one. I'll come alive.

Remiss 02:02

Bag in the wind whipped up alive litter the sky. Carried along, stripped of your whim, given one. I know the greed of thinking ahead and where it leads. You've no weight to hold, far more to bear, when you're empty.

Lacuna 04:48
Mortal, aren't you scared? Don't lie. All ends. All in time. What then? Mortal, aren't you scared? Kin of mine. All ends. What then? All in time. You came into the only life you know. Grab hold of it and wring it for its light. You came but you left something back at home. Your emptiness will atrophy in time.
