Empty Chests

You’re walking out that door
And I won’t see you anymore
You’ve been holding onto tents
Blowing off into the wind
Once you flip them inside out
Liquid pain comes pouring out
Lost hearts of thieves gold
Unformed brains of nematodes
I tried my best
To fill and weld our empty chests
Wiped your tears across my face
Your soft lips salted to taste
Then you touched them hoped it’d last
But what feeling ever has?
I tried my best
To fill and weld our empty chests

Countdown
03:42

Nineteen, living in a dreamers town
My seams came loose, began falling out
I meant what I thought when I left home
I talked your talk I crawled my way out
Confession I gave into the devil’s words
They sang, “son, we could build a better world.”
I signed the paper
Fell all over their honest tone, their ancient timbre
Imagine breathing in a simpler time
Car lots flooded with dancing and careless rhymes
Now I’ve grown older I've joined the plan
Let’s stop the clocks and start the countdown
That sensation when your life's another lie
Damnation feels like a better time
We ate your pills, we kept our noses clean
We surf along in time
Symbiosis to unwind
Your system reads my mind
God bless these bloodshot eyes
Those screams coming from the bleak outdoors
The trees, black, don’t grow fruit anymore
I watched the bombs drop, scorch the sand
I found myself a promised land
We surf along in time
Symbiosis to unwind
These cables are my kind
God bless these bloodshot eyes
We surf along in time
Symbiosis to unwind
Your system reads my mind
God bless these bloodshot eyes

Aaron Sorkin

Sorkin, I've been working
To bring my hand to the page
It's a struggle to be compelling
When the villain shares my name
Cliché broken mirrors
Will they cheer for a disgrace?
I’m tired of my own game
Entertainment for their face
I know I
Aaron, I made my friends
I made my foes just the same
I'm thinking after this season
I’ll be leaving once again
And I know I
I know I
Am banking off this war
Scaring off my kin
Cheating at the game
Failing to be a good man

The City
02:54

I said, “it’s Saturday”
You said, “no it’s Monday”
“I missed the Kraken?”
Her tentacles attaching
Contort me to turn me on
I fell for your siren song
A cure with a great escape
Lingers, your cold wet taste
My brothers will miss me
They stayed back in the city
“Just drown it out”
Watch me sink now
“Explore uncharted waters”
Fleeting dreams of unborn daughters
This sea is way too much
Fading scenes of tortured doves
I’ll pledge to your mossy tome
I'll leave what makes this a home
Make me your tandem man
Spare me, spare me
I’ll drown it out
Let me sink now
I know you won’t miss me
Like I miss the city
I'll drown it out
I drowned it out
I can sink now
“I missed the Kraken?”
“You missed the Kraken”

Scottsdale

Watching millions of particles
Solidify in shapes that I control
Projections of my mind
This carton I carry is full of articles
Opinions I share but I don’t own
A symptom of my time
Contemplating taking mom’s advice
Burn off the sins from a past life
A bite that I could hide
Scottsdale seems like a place where I could go
Head south into the hot unknown
Unlace all of my ties
Oh I wouldn’t mind no sound
It's gotten far too loud
I’ve lost touch with the ground
I long for quiet now
I’ll call this the home where I think I’ll grow old
This disease is incurable
A perfect sentence for my crimes
I hope you know I tried to make you proud
But I know that I let you down
And down and down and down and down and down and down
Oh I wouldn’t mind no sound
It's gotten far too loud
I’ve lost touch with the ground
I long for quiet
I long for quiet
I long for quiet
I long for quiet now
Oh I wouldn’t mind no sound
It's gotten far too loud
I’m sorry I let you down
I long for quiet
I long for quiet
I long for quiet
I long for quiet now
