Monolith 04:08
lyrics

All the lights, all the screens, all the blindfolds Every corner of the street another failure’s exposed Empty bottles, alligators in a dead sea Of discarded products and debris and faded newspaper ink Feels like 1000 ideas all fighting for space Recall the 1000 events that brought you to this place You’ll know we are wandering through the jungle alone We are wandering through the jungle alone we are I feel the moment shining down all over me I feel the moment and the way it was supposed to be I feel the moment all around so close to me I’m not afraid anymore

A cigarette and a cellphone Outside the show she disappears alone Is it all a routine darling? Is it more important when someone’s watching? We hold it all together She’s different when the camera’s on I wanna hold you every night from a distance Sell me the safest form of resistance We hold the irony so close With 1000 labels and 1000 logos and 1000 networks and we’re still alone though And we’re synchronized to the timecode now We traded in a dialogue for sound We hold it all together We’ve got it all nothing at all Candles on the corner where her son was shot down Police helicopters yeah we live on lockdown Our habits, our vices and our mobile devices You are the center of it all Our habits, our vices and the housing-homeless crisis You are the center of it all You wanna dance dance dance We hold it all together We’ve got it all nothing at all But we have read the terms and I accept the agreement

Wandering alone outside I caught you all in a lie Wandering alone outside A world I don’t recognize

lyrics

I can feel your halo shining I hold your voice inside the silence I follow when it’s washing away ‘Cause you’re my angel, you’re my guidance You’re the eyes inside the blindness You’re the only one who don’t feel fake And I hold you and I hold you close Offer you my devotion, a rose Feel your shadow and your holy ghost Never leave you lonely on the coast Give me the simplest things You want the simplest things Who knows? I don’t I can feel your heart dividing I lose your eyes inside the lightning And I don’t really know which one I want ‘Cause you were only temporary You and all the weight you carry And you were just the closest thing And I watch you and I watch you unfold Never meant to make your heart grow so cold You and me and the light we’re shown in Making up the story as we’re going Give me the simplest things You want the simplest things You want it all

Squared 02:34
lyrics

We used to hold each other so soft in the darkness We used to wait for each other we used to want this We faded out Does your dim light shine so soft tonight? The sound is coming from somewhere but I can’t see And the sound keeps following following me But I fade it out Information overload never leave me lonely Don’t ever leave me alone ‘Cause we’re young and bored with no control We wander through the vapid social jungle I don’t care not anymore Add to the noise enter the void We used to search for it We faded out

Statues 05:38
lyrics

The devil calls tonight Singing godforsaken lullabies A hollow covenant to me And I won’t watch this city make a victim out of me If you’re looking for an answer Well every night we crawl deeper down the rabbit hole In search for what? In blind faith And in your arms In your blood and in your darkest hour I will wait for you, oh darling if you want me to So give me lies, give me proof, 100 versions of the truth If you’re looking for an answer Then you will Show me love, show me lies, just this once 1000 times If you’re looking for an answer

USSR 06:00
lyrics

My heart beats like a bloody sting Tie me down with the tightest strings Walk alone through the cemetery, girl You alone sitting next to me Giving you up is the hardest thing You, your games and your subtleties You alone in the summer’s breeze, girl We take for granted the security The familiarity, the luxury We’re stuck here arguing the same old thing Locked alone in our tendencies In the frantic seizure of the city street The children danced to the siren’s beat You alone in the neon heat and glow Back again in the same routine Familiar habits and activities Mammal instinct proclivities All alone in our sanctity Giving you up is the hardest thing You were never ever ever meant to leave her You just wanna let the moment linger on

Compassion Fatigue 03:45
lyrics
buy track
The routine and the miracle masquerade And your heart beats slow Tucked away is the burden alone we face With nowhere to go And I know This is how you’ve resolved to be Numb to the tragedy ‘Cause you don’t have control Another day and the news is the same again And your heart beats slow Patience runs out we turn back to escapism With nowhere to go And I know this is not what you wanted to be Resigned to compassion fatigue But you don’t have control In your heart and in your soul and on the side of the road Does it follow you home? In your heart and in your soul and outside your window Does it follow you home? In your heart and in your soul and outside your front door Does it follow you home? Does it follow you?

Criminal 03:38
lyrics
buy track
I’m just driving through reminding you I’m here Keeping up with the appearances this year And you’re locked alone And she says “your love has limits, you say the words with nothing in it” And you’re locked alone I want you privately With nothing left to prove When did our lives become the 24 hour news? And this once was love If you’d have told me it would be like this A criminal in the cell of myself And what once was love You’re a criminal A criminal to me

Manchester 05:53
lyrics

Waiting for the lights to change Waiting for that feeling My heart beats and it feels so strange To say it once with feeling Face to face with all the pressure Face to face with ourselves All our thoughts now bleed together ‘Cause there is nothing else And I watch you wander alone And I follow you home As you dance inside with the tears in your eyes There are no boundaries no more And we wait outside And we kill some time All our wasteful routines Our sense of style and of scene There are no boundaries no more There ain’t nothing at all And I watch you wander alone And I follow you home Any space you can hide Any space you can find There are no boundaries no more And we wait outside And we kill some time Learned behaviour routines A sense of style and of scene There are no boundaries no more There ain’t nothing at all

We Live In Public 03:38
lyrics

Wander through the time zone Wander with your eyes closed Wandering in circles Wander with no purpose Itching for a fix As we pass away the hours Germs along the turnstiles Murder in the towers We did not deserve this Living with the vermin Living in a squalor Begging for a dollar Desperate in displacement A life lived on the pavement Swept under the rug Easy when the problem’s faceless Wander through the prison Pyramids of income Structures built of nothing Invisible divisions Buildings with no ceilings Creature with no species Thoughts get blurred together Grey and with no features Yellow junkie sickness Invisible restrictions I can feel the words stain I can feel you missing Flashbulb residue The red and yellow hollow An oscillating sky That bleeds into tomorrow We had spent time alone Wandering in public Obstacles obstructions Static fills the sidewalk Static voices side talk Flickering fish eyes Automatic impulse Foreign to myself now Animal and simple Chemical distractions Waiting for some action Compress the conversation A life made of transactions Can’t maintain the focus Losing all the faces Words get separated Into meaningless mosaic We had spent some time alone Warm organic signals Beckoning your system Iridescent gas flares Alligator eyes stare Wandering the same sounds Faded in the background Round and round and round and round Evidently chicken town

lyrics

Daylight breaks softly through night And a fleeting moment shines Street air invisible divides And a struggle resumes and the actors they all collide And don’t let me take it too far Follow me through the dark Your love shines through You’re a sinner to me and you’re a liar and you’re a thief You’re a sinner to me and on the last train I watch you leave You’re a stranger to me, you’re a stranger to me darling You’re a stranger to me and you won’t win me back slowly Don’t let me take it too far Follow me through the dark Your love shines through
