the Dynamic Evolution
04:04

once upon a time i fell in love
and later on down the road i fell again
because i'd already fallen once before
i had to find my heart in wet cement
as the story goes i felt so glad
having never known the good from the bad
i'm lucky in a sense that i'm alive at all
i'm lucky in a sense that i survived the fall
if i really wanted your devotion
it never should've been of your concern
all i care about in this commotion
is that you understand what i've learned
as the chapter changed the page had turned
the protagonist had got what he deserved
sadly, the protagonist was me
and the story felt more like reality
and in the wake of everything to come
instead of wishing everything undone
i zipped my coat and tied up my old shoes
and i hit the road to seek another truth
think i was seeking evolution
i never found a hint of it at home
all i want is a fucking revolution
and i can't begin to light the fires alone
it's not to say the world isn't burning now
someway, somehow, we've got a world to save
ourselves, our souls, on a ship that's going down
someway, somehow, in a world we've got to drown

i Know

when i'm in the city i can't help but feel pity for the people with their eyes on the ground
and other days i'm feeling just as blind and misgiving to the beauty that exists all around
but i know, i know
i know, i know
when i look at colours i can't help but wonder why it's a hue i don't recognize
and other days i'm thinking how the world is so pretty even when the answers hide
and i know, i know
i know, i know
that i must accept my fate
that i must accept these turns this life takes
if i don't trust i might never wake
if i don't adjust to a path that's prone to shake
then i know full well it's a man this life makes
why are we so burdened that we must ignore the hurting of all that our souls say?
i feel that disconnection when devoid of all intention in losing that sacred space
and i know, i know
i know, i know

Where Will i Sleep?
03:19
|

|
how long, how long can i fly?
how long, how long can i try...
to free your mind inside this
house of mirrors, where
reflections fade away.
and you can't hear the sound
your voice makes, over
space your thoughts take.
i've heard it all.
at first i didn't understand.
i thought my life was quicksand.
but i landed with my feet on the ground
with no sound and no one else around.
well i broke me when i broke free
from the reigns of society.
i no longer cast a shadow.
and i don't know where i'll sleep tomorrow
and i don't care.
because i know what i fear.
because i know that i'm here.
because i landed with my feet on the ground
with no sound and no one else around.

i'm waiting for the world to end
and spend my days in ways i imagined
i've yet to make it happen
and imagine.
there's no such thing as magic,
tragically it's true,
because you don't have faith in the power you are holding
that you'll never grow into.
la la la la la
i'm waiting for the world to end
i want to see what happens
i'm waiting for the world to end
and bend light from the sun in a blackened ocean
la la la la la x3
i must've sent the message
at least to one or two
or maybe i'm forgetting
that i don't know how to do this
i think i forgot cursive
instead i was learning i'm a fool
in a world that is burning
where my love means more to you
la la la la la
where my love means more to you
in a fire that feels cruel
in a fire that feels cruel
in a fire that needs fuel
in a fire that needs fuel
and bends light from the bottom of a diamond pool
[the world ends]

Hiding
03:21
|

open up your fragile little heart love
and tell me what you find
there's no use in hiding
when you can't get enough
and if you were to tell me
that there's no hope left
i'd have to disagree
with one last breath
open up your heart
and let it all inside
i know just where to start
to keep you out of hiding
are you finding it hard
or not finding it at all?
i've been left to believe that
denying the fall
will build up your walls
while missing the call of your name
it's not the same
i want you to stay
but not in the state in which you came
from fading autumn days, clouds of grey
to the sky filled with sun, you want it to stay
i said
open up your heart
and let it all inside
i know just where to start
to keep your sun shining
