Hypernation 01:38
The side of me, the side you never saw then Is crying out, it begs for your attention When I was young, I learned my mind was broken But exactly what it was was never spoken In outer space, an enigmatic object A telescope to magnify the hardship And if there was a chance, I wish I saw it 'Cause I'm at the wheel, I'm half asleep It's all too much, I'm in too deep now I don't wanna live in isolation Something's got to give soon What does it take to stop this hypernation? Something's got to give soon Yeah, something's got to give soon

I stared out from the shore I felt those icy waters And when I rode home In September's dusk Out in the open I was alone then And it's too bad We threw ourselves at The wall to see if we'd stick But now we're falling down Can bad luck be blamed for this? I need to blame somebody 'Cause my ragged pulse Breaks through my chest Into the open Spilling my organs
3.
Can I remain innocuous despite myself? I get fucked up and misbehave, enjoy myself And I try so hard to be insightful too But I don't want to be above you If I was more like yesterday I'd know myself But I'm half awake, been up to late to talk about How I've been wronged and I've been lied to so Yeah I've been down, and I'm just like you I must admit I get down when I see you now 'Cause I'm a mess when I'm alone inside my house And I was wrong to be so prideful too Yeah I was wrong, and I'm just like you

I know that things have changed And they'll always change Because it happened to me And now you're going away And all that fame It never happened to me Tell me something I don't know While you're still just a stone's throw Away from me inside my house Left a message in my brain To never see the light of day So wait for me inside my house Oooooooooooooooo Those things I wanna say I'm never gonna say That always happens to me And now as you're going away Will you turn and wave? You'll never happen to me Tell me something I don't know While you're still just a stone's throw Away from me inside my house Left a message in my brain To never see the light of day So wait for me inside my... Gotta get a grip on things I know there's good in the mundane But it's driving me insane 'Cause it's overdue and I'm not getting younger Yeah it's overdue and you're still with another Got a lot to prove and I'm still getting stronger But it's overdue and you're still with another Ooooooooooooooooo

Stop Smoking 01:01
My pockets are empty And I'm feeling kind of shy So I'm standing on the porch alone And I'm asking for a light Are you less stressed without me? Are you feeling more refined? Do you still stand on the porch alone Or do you mostly stay inside? 'Cause without you I've found myself to be useless And without you I'm too caught up to dispute it I'll never get enough of you Despite all of the things you do I know that it's just my way of coping when I feel The world has it out for me But I still want you Never know just what to do And I wonder if I ever stop smoking one day Will you still need room to breathe?

The Dirge 02:09
Something was amiss The tarot cards on the floor in your bedroom An omen for you When you departed It had me combing my thoughts for an excuse To see this life through I won't forget to The dirge becomes you I'll suffer right through I won't forget you
