Track Name: Shipwrecker
Floating on the surface rests an oily film of gasoline
Our ship is burning twenty miles off the coast
And as she slides into the darkened sea
I’m haunted by this melody

Can’t believe it’s come to this
Can’t believe it, can’t believe it

Fire on the water spreads like panic in our eyes
The mind of the martyr flashes blank beneath the tides
The sky is opened up, and all I see is black
The sea is swallowing, she’s taking bodies back

There was no flash, no sudden burst, no life reduced to images
Beneath the water, all I saw were strangers’ flailed appendages
No final thought to prove this life was ever even worth it

I’m haunted
Track Name: Like a Lizard
We look to what we can’t define to find ourselves in common light
I wish I could say I only ever needed myself, needed myself
Death can take my face, but it won’t ever take my name
You can change the way you move, but it plays out all the same

Old friends, new faces
You’re alright, you’re alright
Same parties, new places
You’re alright, you’re alright
It’s like I’m living someone else’s life
Or just going through the paces

We look to what we can’t define, to find ourselves in a common light
And we fight! Fight! Fight!
To find ourselves
And we fight! Fight! Fight!

Liars, liars, whispers on the coast
I am the lighthouse, searching with my megaphone

Take a look around
This is what we’ve become
Track Name: Wolf Eyes
The forest is a dream you had
When you were young, ignorant
The forest is a dream you had
When you were young, desperate

Leaves shake their nervous hands
And branches point their bony fingers
Everywhere, a blue haze
Is closing in, it calmly lingers
And every step, the wind calls
Hushed voice, faint whispers
Shadows pace like wild dogs
Heavy breath of ghosts

I have never felt more lost
This is the fear inside the calming lies
I mutter while I’m awake

The forest is a dream I’ve had
Over and over again
And every time I think I’m fine
I end up back where it all began

LOST! SCARED! TIRED! SHATTERED!
I’VE HAD ENOUGH!

Yellow eyes are watching you all night
A wolf beyond the timberline

I’m running from myself, I’m running out of time
I’m running from the prospect of an ordinary life
They’re watching me destruct, they’re watching me implode
They’re watching me collapse into a black hole, and no

This is not permanent, no, this isn’t fate
It’s the fear inside the calming lies I mutter while I’m awake
And I can’t take it
Track Name: Eat the Head Off
They got us hanging like a carcass, drain our blood from inside
All our entrails are splayed out, our eyes are maggot white
I’ve got delusions of phantoms, I know it isn’t there
It calms me down, it calms me down. I’ve got this hunted-creature fear

We are the teeth that gnash to turn this great gear
We are the thunderhead whose shadow spreads
We are the teeth that gnash to turn this great gear
We are the thunderhead

Let’s be honest
I should have known this

A quick win and a slow defeat
Bombed-out city streets
A dead air and a hangin’ heat
The sun is throbbing in the skull of the sky

The blood in my temples
It’s pounding like the drums
Of pagans worshipping the sun

I’d leave it all up to fate
But I don’t think I can wait that long
