Creature 02:44
Time can slow down to a tortoise carrying a knapsack on his back Sometimes I wish he would slow down and wait up for me Love can fade away like the moon behind a series of clouds, But if you wait long enough it'll come back around Cross your heart and hope to die and maybe, baby, just maybe you will survive I promise to take care of you for as long as I can But if love were derived of empyreal could I still feel what I feel? And would it live forever inside of me? I guess you could say I'm a creature Lurking anywhere where there's lack of humanity, But I will not lurk or live without you I know that we're doomed, but a promise is a promise We'll live out our days building a home of solace, And I will outlive you. When our home is deserted and broken I hope to crumble with it And find my place in life amongst the dirt If we end catastrophic, then I'm not worth it Pack your bags, baby you don't deserve it A kiss on the cheek every now and then and I'll be fine.

Death, To Me 04:21
Got off of work one night; laid in bed and fell asleep Had a dream about dragons and sorcery And you were in it. You were as pretty as can be. You unsheathed your sword and asked me if I were ready Felt the plunge, and when I awoke there was A hole in my body Next night laid on the couch and watched T.V. Turned the channel to an old black and white movie And we were in it. You were as pretty as can be. Your cheeks were like charcoal and satin. It felt just like a dream, But when I turned my back you had a gun and you shot A hole in my body Next night I was scared to fall asleep ‘Kept anticipating the next scenario and how it would be, But when I blinked, I was standing by a stream. You were behind me as pretty as can be. I was kickin’, but I couldn’t keep myself— Keep myself from sinkin’ Last night I was more than ready To confront the beautiful grim reaper of my dreams. I was determined not to be put to death, But you weren’t there. I was in a room with a small chest, And inside was a letter written from you to me It said, “Your boldness and bravery Has brought death to me.

Come on, Mr. Dawson, don't lie to yourself anymore We all know a man who lives in bad faith, a lie in every pour Got a gun in your mouth and it's always shooting blanks And the smoke around your mouth is telling me: Everybody makes mistakes Come on, Mr. Dawson, don't lie to yourself anymore You've deceived the masses now let's see you deceive a mirror Well, your eyes start to blur and your lips start to shake But then you tackle your composure and you say: Everybody makes mistakes Come on, Mr Dawson, you still don't have a clue You dramatize and fictionalize the stories that make up you The audience watches in awe as your character starts to break And as your make-up starts to bleed the chorus screams: Everybody makes mistakes!

Sleep Spent 03:25
“You eyes make everything clear, Juxtaposed against the skyline. When it rains you pour, and you think I don’t know. But I know, oh I know, exactly who you are. Your voice resonates all across the corridors. Each syllable springs from the walls, and you think I don’t know But I know, oh I know, exactly how you feel Broken light is filtered through the leaves And they pattern themselves on your face This is the day in which Shadows formed around your shape My words fall on deaf ears My memories are partly forged with my own hopes Though I made up a memory, it still belongs to me You are sleep spent in my life.”
