Fault Lines

I'm fed up with this predictable repetition
These motions I go through are always the same
I get tired and bruised without getting to choose
And I am in bits by the end of the day
I'm walking on fault lines
Trying to pick up the pace
I'm fluctuating through up's and downs
And losing energy
I'm starting to feel like everything's working against me
And I'm riding these waves of discomfort too comfortably
I've got nothing to say, except i hate this game
And I don't care if I lose I just want it to end
I'm walking on fault lines
Trying to pick up the pace
I'm fluctuating through up's and downs
And losing energy
I'm walking on fault lines
Trying to pick up the pace
I'm fluctuating through up's and downs
And losing energy

The Line

I got my head stuck between two states of mind
So I couldn't get my feelings through to you
Uncertain of time and unassertive
Embrace this trial stricken flight
Digging for reason on diamond chocked ground
kicking up sand with your legs tied down
Tearing at faces carved from stone
crowded out and yet completely alone
you crossed the line I drew
To illustrate the bigger picture
I'm no longer staring over it at you
I've come face to face with a stranger in an unfamiliar place
Counting down the days till I get away from this
Information therapy
I'm fucking smothered by the words you said to me
and there's still no clarity
you crossed the line I drew
To illustrate the bigger picture
I'm no longer staring over it at you
I've come face to face with a stranger in an unfamiliar place
you crossed the line I drew
To illustrate the bigger picture
I'm no longer staring over it at you
I've come face to face with a stranger in an unfamiliar place

Push Back The Horizon

It's funny how the fog can clear your senses
Maybe cause your'e finally at home
The air is so thin I'm finding myself breathing in
Cold pockets of wonderment
And if your'e trying to tell me that nothing has changed, we're doing everything the same
I'll just laugh to myself
There was nothing worth holding on to, we just let it go
Sentimental last goodbyes but I can't wait for tomorrow
It's funny how the fog can clear your senses
No one is free till they've
Thrown a part of their live away
Then picked up the pieces
The beautiful pieces
I fought against the motion for so long
my thoughts we're pushed aside by trepidation
I've given up on faking friends and frosting locks
You're slipping in and out of focus
I don't think I'll wait before I scale the wall to see the sun
Push back the horizon. What wilI become? It's not a question It's an invitation.
It's funny how the fog can clear your senses
Maybe cause your'e finally at home
The air is so thin I'm finding myself breathing in
Cold pockets of wonderment

Good Company

Grave place for too many we see it shine
by the light of the moon our glowing faces invite
the paint in the sky to frame the stars in such a way
I start to wonder why I'm always running out of things to say
People have so much to criticise but don't posses the drive to make things right in their own way
All it seems to take for me
Is a little familiarity
I'm not changing the world
But I'm part of few
And that's what''s important to see
The people I trust are the ones I believe
the people I trust I want close to me
cause I know a place where I feel alive
Where it would be hard to leave every time
If it weren't for the good company that inspire
a sense of contentment that's hard to come by
I know a place where I feel alive
Where it would be hard to leave every time
If it weren't for the good company that inspire
a sense of contentment that's hard to come by otherwise
I've had my foot in so many doors
Only to step back happy to have it
I try to appear fair and succinct
cause that's all I've got, who I am nearly cracked it
But I'm still finding out
That not everybody is quite what they say their about
It hurts to hear what and who people you thought you knew think that they can now do without.
But I know a place where I feel alive
Where it would be hard to leave every time
If it weren't for the good company that inspire
a sense of contentment that's hard to come by
I know a place where I feel alive
Where it would be hard to leave every time
If it weren't for the good company that inspire
a sense of contentment that's hard to come by
I know a place where I feel alive
Where it would be hard to leave every time
If it weren't for the good company that inspire
a sense of contentment that's hard to come by otherwise
Grave place for too many we see it shine
by the light of the moon our glowing faces invite
the paint in the sky to frame the stars in such a way

Strike Meaning
02:46

If it weren't for the faces that I see when my eyes
Are closed to the world outside
And the streets that I can walk in my mind
The troubles of others that have solved themselves in time
I would question my persistence
I would query my desire
To stick around in this town
We strike meaning which we never drop
A purpose till we start to rot
A saving grace for us
Why not?
We're good at building bridges which rarely fall apart
Attachments to places that have known us from the start
And though they may not always tell us what, why and how
I know for sure that they're the reason I'm still here now
We strike meaning which we never drop
A purpose till we start to rot
A saving grace for us
Why not?
We strike meaning which we never drop
A purpose till we start to rot
A saving grace for us
Why not?

Weightless

These reactions, they come in waves
At time's when I feel like everything
Is exploding around me and I'm just
Cornered having to watch it burn
This ship's steadily sinking not sailing
And I can't try without failing
just can't seem to find accomplishment
Everyday I lose it a little more
I'm not leaving here without making connections
And I won't let anyone push me in the wrong direction
This is no place for me but that's okay
Cause I know that time changes everything
We have no control over our fortunes
I know that hurts but just deal with it
We're all swimming with sharks for no reason
So let's live and laugh and fuck up
We're all here but we're going to die
We're the catalysts for our our own demise
There's only one thing that I know
All I know is that
I'm not leaving here without making connections
And I won't let anyone push me in the wrong direction
I'm just trying to make some sense of the present
and stop focussing in on all of these imperfections
I just wan't to weightless

No Matter

Can't stand your friends try standing without them
Empty space still makes its presence felt you watching me
Tried to capture the momentary shared smile between us
When I asked what you wanted to be
All you said was happy
What makes it so
You said that's what I'm trying to find
The first step is an open mind
Alright
On the face of it not what I hoped to achieve
No matter I've found a way to proceed
Unobscured and eternally assured
That all I can do is make for the best and hope for the best in return
On the face of it not what I hoped to achieve
No matter I've found a way to proceed
Unobscured and eternally assured
That all I can do is make for the best and hope for the best in return

Swimming In Ashes

Tell me why I have to live in this head never get a moments rest
I am so burned out these blisters still hurt but I don't think I'll ever learn
I'm feeling unreliable like I can't even depend on myself
Like I can't control the motions that I'll end up going through
I'm getting fucking tired of blowing up the meaningless details
That get hooked into my head and end up as an insult to you
Tell me why I have to live in this head never get a moments rest
I am so burned out these blisters still hurt but I don't think I'll ever learn
This whole place is unpredictable with nowhere I can run for cover
No minds are invincible but mine feels like it's made of paper
I'm fucking fed up with slow progress and dead end streets
I know life's never going to make sense but I'll try and work it out regardless
I am singing louder than I have had before
Trying to drown out all the noise I can ignore
I am singing louder than I have had before
Trying to drown out all the noise I can ignore
I am so burned out that I am swimming in ashes now
I am so burned out that I am swimming in ashes
I am so burned out that I am swimming in ashes now
I am so burned out that I am swimming in ashes
I am singing louder than I have had before
Trying to drown out all the noise I can ignore
I am singing louder than I have had before
Trying to drown out all the noise I can ignore
