intro 01:09
As long as we’re here we’re no exception Forever stuck on the intersection Evenly split between present and gone Until we end up in a graveyard’s collection Whatever we do here’s got no purpose Born into this only to get through this So many dead moments for no one to mourn Follow us until we are decomposed, useless

autumn 04:02
Somebody turned down the contrast and your body wants it It’s getting more and more dark when exchanging the days You clench your fist without being able to control it You reach point B without recognising the way Your simmering surface is calling for deep exploration Despite how well you’re aware of what dwells underneath You hold your breath every night as a test of your patience Looking for patterns in what you carved into your sleeves Quiet - not mute and the progress is fading What you thought’s been gone was just camouflaged as something else Your handwriting shows signs of stress as you sign all the papers Not with your blood but it still feels like going to hell

You wish you were dreaming But the glass near the bed Is too physically correct With the light it reflects You wish this was old news You open your eyes You try to roll over But it feels too alive Now stop fantasizing Of the gun of your friends’ Just tear of the bedsheets And do it again Over the voices Not unlike yours They don’t always make sense But sometimes they go: This is not over We are always present We are ever present We are omnipresent And you can hold on tight Through the rest of your life We are omnipresent Yes we’ll always remind you Of all that’s behind That you deeply repent And we’re happy to know That wherever you go You’re nowhere near the end Yes we always surround you We’re always around you We’re omnipresent

Good morning How far am I gonna go Before I implode The drops are warnings And the aftertaste of salt And the cut-away overdose You’re walking How far are you gonna get Before I lose my head Good morning If there’s anything I regret It’s all the words I said So I was right Right from the start It’s a house of cards It’s not gonna last So I was right Hoping I’m wrong Delete my songs And I’ll be gone

the mold 04:10
The whole block Is covered in snow Who knew the fourth floor could feel so low Whilst gathering strength To take a breath The room is screeching a funeral song Under the blanket The limbs are cold The unlikely ways the body can fold And a sensation That’s heavy enough To blind the lights and spread the mold So clap your wings You unattached followers of daily events Alone in her bed and I don’t know what message to send The day just begun and it’s already nearing the end
6.
the city 02:30
The city is an endless cycle of apathy Day to night Night to day You know, you’re on my mind sometimes However cliche However cliche The city is a boiling pot of anger Night to day Day to night The existence spirals around you But it never feels right Mirrors tend to make me laugh Cause every little drawback makes me consider death Slow motion fast pace The look in her eyes breaks I run away from the sound that my mind makes Sleepless I’ve been piling up regrets Wasn’t aiming to reach this Point of personal weakness I find it hard to say no To what I should have stayed isolated from I awake to my secrets And the days run on by Adding circles under tired eyes I’ve been piling up regrets Mirrors tend to make me laugh Cause every little drawback makes me consider death Slow motion fast pace The look in her eyes breaks I run away from the sound that my mind makes

born to pay 03:33
Been a few years Since heartbreaks ceased to get to me Sunset to sunrise again I wake up on the Earth of green The birds on rooftops Can still find some calm in tops of trees Been a few years Since I’ve stopped looking into mysteries Pain feels much lighter Compared to what it used to weigh Alarm to alarm again I wake up on the Earth of gray The bird shit on rooftops Stands resemblant of the human race Sunset and sunrise Have acquired a new kind of sense Cause honey I was born to make The money I was born to pay And when my head goes blank There will be somebody to take my place Cause honey we were born to make The money we were born to pay And when it breaks our backs There will be somebody to take our place

balconies 1 03:17
Numb yellow fingertips Regrets and swollen lips Suddenly my shoes are much louder walking through the streets Shadows of balconies Scared of the symphonies Panel house static sounds are melting into in my ears
9.
balconies 2 01:02
Been a bright night More to come I thought I was good but it turns out I’m scum Long day ahead To choke on a story I thought I was good but it turns out I’m sorry But it’s not enough to be sorry
