Watch it disappear around the bend
Ride a one-trick pony to the summer's end
Wave goodbye through time, it's over
But was it yours to take at all?
Strike out fear like learned fools
Just destroy like there's nothing to lose
Look at nothing, scream for vengeance
All zero points of righteousness are yours
Talk of justice but the ship is long since gone
It was never here at all
Look at all the broken clocks around us
The hourglass has cracked and we are spilling out in droves
The ship has sailed, the deed is done
But time will not be kind to us
Vengeance done, but all for nothing
No one served, no one gone back in time
Proboscis disappears in a silver gleam
Control your variables, but what do they mean?
You don't really know what you're doing
But you don't really care at all
Talk of justice but the ship is long since gone
It was never here at all
Look at all the broken clocks around us
The hourglass has cracked and we are spilling out in droves
The ship has sailed, the deed is done
But time will not be kind to us
Vengeance done, but all for nothing
No one served, no one gone back in time
No ship will come to greet us
Nothing has been there all this time
This will always stay to haunt us
All zero points of righteousness are yours

I Dream Melancholy
05:21
|
|||
The sky encircles all that enters its domain
An airplane opens to the emptiness above
A lone unlucky one stands at the mercy of the clouds
And she falls up up up until the pain takes her finally
Flowers taken down from all around the aisle
No wedding necessary when half the couple's gone
Taken from her future by a small distraction in the road
On her way, taking pictures for the one she'd gladly die for
For the one she'd die for
I dream melancholy
Pictures lying to emotions in my head
Things that I don't wish were true
I taste pain and hatred
And I wish you wouldn't say those things about yourself
I don't believe them, why should you
Stories written wordlessly to be read without a tear
Cast aside like just another tragedy
Anecdotes designed to be forgotten in an hour
If only those same nameless footnotes could forget so easily
Could forget all the pain of seeing those names on a page
High-gloss eulogies as all the world says "how unfortunate"
How unfortunate indeed and nothing more 'til you can
Recognize the names you are preparing to forget so thoughtlessly
Forgetting is easy
I dream melancholy
Pictures lying to emotions in my head
Things that I don't wish were true
I taste pain and hatred
And I wish you wouldn't say those things about yourself
I don't believe them, why should you
Why should you

Losing You, Losing Me
03:34
|
|||
I called your name and there was silence
I've been calling for so long
I said I'd always be beside you
Where did I ever go so wrong
I guess the only way that I can say what I must say
Is that quite simply I'm afraid
Afraid of moving on, afraid of looking back
Most of all afraid of losing you
I promised you that I'd return to you
But there's so much that I can never return to
To think of everything that I'm about to leave behind
How much of myself will I lose?
I always knew that I'd be leaving
I have known it for so long
I thought no one could ever change me
Make me wonder if I haven't just been wrong
Never thought I'd feel this way, never once thought that I'd say
That uncertainty now reigns
Mourning all that's gone, terrified of what's to come
Most of all the day we say goodbye
I promised you that I'd return to you
But there's so much that I can never return to
To think of everything that I'm about to leave behind
How much of myself will I lose?
I called your name and there was silence
I've been calling for so long
I said I'd always be beside you
Where did I ever go so wrong

The Dressmaker
04:05

The dressmaker sighs and
Puts her needle down
Tears were keeping her from sleep
She sees memories that
Seem to tear her down
She can barely even speak
Everything seems so foreign
Nothing can be real
Memories of years ago take over in her mind
Dresses falling to the floor
Like lost hope and emotion
The lights fade and she finds herself alone
Of course it's true that
Everything must end sometime
Nothing ever was eternal
But loss still cuts so deep
Tears us all apart
No sense trying to ignore it
Celebrate the memories
Weep for all that's lost
Tear the fabric as you thread another needle
Pick up the fabric from the floor
Newfound hope and emotion
The dressmaker turns on another light
You don't deserve any of this
You shouldn't have to go through all of this

Denial
03:54
|

I'll tell you what I think
Tell you how I am
Tell you how I feel
Tell you what I want
Tell you what I need
Tell you why I care
I'll tell you how I feel about you
Or I would if I could
No I will
I need to
Tell you what is wrong
Tell you what is right
Tell you who I am
Well it's my fault for expecting you to love me
It's my fault for expecting you to care
For resenting you for a simple lack of attraction
I was nothing to you but I could never leave it there
I'd tell you what I thought
Tell you how I felt
Tell you who I loved
Tell you what I want
Tell you what I need
Tell you why I care
I'd tell you who you are to me
But you're not, so I won't
Doesn't matter
Tell you what was wrong
Tell you what was right
Tell you who I was
Well it's my fault for expecting you to love me
It's my fault for expecting you to care
For resenting you for a simple lack of attraction
I was nothing to you but I could never leave it there
Well it's my fault for expecting you to love me
It's my fault for expecting you to care
For resenting you for a simple lack of attraction
I was nothing to you but I could never leave it there

Dynamic (Drift Away)
05:18
|

Well, this is it then
I suppose
This is how it's gonna be
Leave your memories
At the door
I'm sorry they're no use to me
I prefer thinking we've just changed too much
Whether you think the same is up to you
Maybe I'm mistaken, maybe in denial
Maybe I just cut you off and moved on
I'm sorry things can't be the way they used to be
It's no one's fault, I guess we just can't help but drift away
Is that a good enough excuse for you?
Is that a good enough excuse for me?
Well, time passes and
Nothing lasts
I guess it's time to see it end
This isn't how I thought
We'd turn out
Tell me where it all went wrong
I prefer thinking you've changed as much as me
Whether you think the same is up to you
Is this a symptom or the disease?
Would I give up my trajectory for old times?
I'm sorry things can't be the way they used to be
It's no one's fault, I guess we just can't help but drift away
Is that a good enough excuse for you?
Is that a good enough excuse for me?
I don't want to think it's not but can I even disagree
I know you wouldn't dream of doing this to me
Is that just who I am
Is that just who I am
Well, this is it then, I suppose
This is how it's gonna be
This is how I'm thanking you
I know you won't forget me
