Circa '97 03:12
I watched your car pull up outside you parked and fired off a smile so bright it hurt my eyes back then I thought you'd save my life and you did many times over, just not in the ways I had in mind we're gonna find peace some day two different cities two different lives twenty years have passed though we still stay in touch online so "poke" me on facebook, i'll say hi do you know I miss the parts of you I didn't steal to keep behind we're gonna find peace some day

I've done a lot of harm, painted targets all over my heart said my fair share of harsh words, their only intention being to hurt, and oh they hurt the crutches that I make for you will break ain't no apologies coming it's still your mistake cause you forgot the hook in every bait rats in the walls of your prized estate the basement's flooded, it's rotted out the rain drips through the roofing tiles what once cleaned up nice seems now to be wrecked, nearly falling down and yet there's miles to go before we sleep

Recovery Day 02:57
Monday: force yourself out of bed Tuesday: a little better but still pretty bad Wensday: only two more days to go Thursday: picked up a little hope but just a little so Friday: you push yourself as high as you'll go Saturday: now you gotta keep yourself from hitting the floor till Sunday you better spend the day in bed, cause you're gonna have to do it again. worked entwined with the thoughts in your head alarm goes off you wish you're dead sip your coffee then it's time to go you crawl, you scratch, you bitch, you moan, you spend your life trying to get back to a fleeting truth from an idealized past till late at night you lie awake in bed and you're gonna have to do it again.

Outside 04:10
a monstrous fear lies coiled in wait wary eyes watching for an escape once it whispered dread, now it's guarding the front door it won't let me out anymore so I watch from my tower, an insulated coward the only place I find peace so come on over brother, come on in my lover, just please don't ask me to leave. strap by strap, struggling free of this straightjacket stitched up with irrational fears and regrets a one man meta riot in a room no one can see ends with the door kicked down, an imprisoned voice saying "not another day of falling into line of watching from safe towers, living a life that I despise." this sterile challenge-less state is all I know, (it's not helping anything, not helping anything) no locks to pick apart these walls I've sown, (sickness manifest into brick and stone) their dust will cover me from head to toe, when finally, with willing curiosity I step outside.

about

third EP of the series, this one returns to a more focused, better produced, catchier group of songs. the lyrics still find me in the dark, but, clawing my way out.
