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

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

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 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

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

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

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?

about

Wesley and Holland's second album deals mainly with the turmoil of leaving home and moving into adulthood. These songs were written during Alex Goetz's highly emotional final summer before leaving home.

This album builds upon its predecessor by adding more complex arrangements and a breadth of varied tones aided by experience and a guitar effects processor.
