Hello there. I'm not all that into posting lyrics or printing them on liner notes, but enough people have asked, so I've decided to go ahead and post them here for people who want to read'em. Have a good day. Luv Tim.
Some Sort of Revelation
Don't underestimate the great divide that separates you from them
They'll never take you serious, no matter what your intuition
Making a mess of everything, everything
Why don't you just accept they're not listening
I know you're prone to crazy talk, the peak you're on is bound to cave in
Made it a point to pace myself, made it your point to wait until then
But there'll be an end to all of this, all of this
Some sort of Revelation better come Now.
Under the Waves
Both hands making for something in the water
Sinking like a hopeless endeavor to the bottom
Everyone was saying, there's nothing left to save
but I'll be running til the end of my days
You don't believe me, here we go
Now we're living under the waves, we're living under the waves
Nobody ever escapes the ugly undertow.
There's no use making excuses in the water
Heaven only knows that I tried, I couldn't stop her
Even when you're with them, I swear they never listen
There were times I tried to give her a hand, she wouldn't take it from me though
Now we're living under the waves, we're living under the waves
Nobody ever escapes the ugly undertow.
Dramatic pause
But I would never hit her, I swear I never did
If I would have seen her sinking, I would have pulled her in
I was under the impression her feet were in the sand
If you want me to repeat it, I'd say the same again
But I won't back down, I won't back down
You can interrogate me, there's nothing you can prove
Everybody's stuck in their ways, determined never to face the implicated
no matter what you do
It's one foot in the water, both feet in the waves
Apathy and Excess
You know you're only using progress
to validate your careless
approach to living life in excess,
ignoring any trace that counters your objectives
But there's nothing in this world worthy of your murderous mind
No there's nothing in this world worthy of your murderous mind
I stopped to watch the endless sequence
of orchestrated movements.
I reached my peak I lost my patience
soon enough to salvage most of my conviction.
Cuz there's nothing in this world worthy of your murderous mind
No there's nothing in this world worthy of your murderous mind
There's nothing left to fight for, nothing left to save
What hasn't been removed, has been replaced, been replaced
by empty rhetoric, idolatry and waste.
But there's nothing in this world worthy of your murderous mind
No there's nothing in this world worthy of your murderous mind
Wasting, Taking up Space
Wasting, taking up space
in need of replacing, the days are so long
With our hands to the railing, appendages flailing
The vacuum is on
And everyone's trying (I thought you should know)
To occupy spare time (I thought you should know)
There used to be lightning, but not anymore
And nothing's exciting.
Parked, parallel curbside
Covered in street signs, a million or more.
Lost track of the numbers, but they're bumper to bumper
and they're pushing the door
And everyone's happy, I thought you should know
Just to be useful, I thought you should know
There used to be lightning, but not anymore
And nothing's exciting
Paltry Remains
I can't get you out of my mind
No matter how hard I try, it's the same
empty promises that keep my hopes alive despite these
paltry remains
And I'm running out of ways to describe it
What a mess, there's nothing left
that hasn't been somehow diminished
by the fact there's nothing left
And I tell myself I'm done thinking
anything will ever come from my stubbornness
Enclave
I want to live in an enclave
separate from the rest
We'll keep a permanent distance
Cuz everything on the other side's a mess
I want to live in an enclave
I don't care if it's wrong
Save your slander for the ones who believe you
If you don't like it, you don't have to come
We'll wake them up when they're sleeping
Spread them out til they're thin
I'm not exactly sure how all of this started
I'm pretty sure that I know how ends
I want to live in an enclave
with my circle of friends
Let the other's do whatever they want to
We'll see what happens to them
We'll keep our faith in our pockets
take it out when we can
Pass it on to anybody who listens
Never have to address them again
Treacherous Ways
I tried making my mind eliminate the unattractive
But the space through the shades in my window
was enough to throw me off
Aware of every critic inside and their treacherous ways
I had to find something to keep me in a positive place
And all you're friends out making the town
I sort wish that I could meet them
And establish over several drinks that I'm as easy to impress
And we could talk about our favorite songs, from beginning to end
The noise from the radio louder than the voice in my head
Dance dance everybody shake it off
Dance dance, everybody shake it
Well there's a lot of us going around, but you're so easily distracted
I guess the pace of reality makes it pretty easy to avoid
And I can think of several reasons to care, but you'd never agree
That anything is worth your concern unless it's out of your reach
And all your friends still lapping it up,
they never understood the difference
between a genuine display of emotion and a calculated lie
And yet you walk as though you're one of the few, while they string you along
The noise from the radio playing every popular song
Dance dance everybody shake it off
Dance dance, everybody shake it
Fight or Flight
Well there's something to be said for an explanation I no longer have
There's a word for every meaning in a perfect language,
but I couldn't put a tag on that
Believe me when I tell you there is no escaping
social situations that require your entire attention
to keep the elements in tact
And there's nothing holding onto the reigns or so it seems
But I could never prove it, the most that I could do
is swallow any indication that leads in this direction
When I speak of fight or flight this what I mean.
Fire Vs. Flame
I had twenty, twenty visions and still
I couldn't see in the end
Running out of room for these
meaningless analogies that never made
any sense
Oh, I wanted to change it
Separate the fire from flame
Cuz if I could establish a difference
I'd be okay
With a curious aversion to change
or any passage of time
Made myself oblivious, I didn't want to notice
any bloodshot in those eyes
So go ahead and embrace it
Separate the meaning from the things that never made sense
A Million Shards
I woke up early and aggressively assessed my days ahead
And all those pretty things beyond my reach were calling out to reach for them again
Sometimes the past is like a million shards of broken glass that keep you where you're at
And I'd just as soon leave all those memories behind me then to question anymore, until those questions are the only thing I have
I cannot blame you for embracing anything that clears your path
But that old light is bound to keep you in the dark if you allow to let it last
Please understand I am not criticizing anything that shows you to yourself
But what's the use in all those dated revelations when they keep you paying penance,
like some sentence that was meant for someone else
I cannot blame you for embracing anything that clears your path
But that old light is bound to keep you in the dark if you allow to let it last
Sometimes the past is like a million shades of greener grass that keep you looking back
But I'd just as soon let all those shades add up behind me then to question anymore,
until those questions are the only thing I have
