Morning 03:54
The morning roars a beast waiting outside The morning roars and there's dread in the sunrise The night before the only words I prayed, "Don't wake me up" For one hundred more the only words I'll pray, "Don't wake me up" Morning roars The firmament swells tearing itself one heaving breath taken til death Morning roars The mummified wake from alkaline lakes feel ruining time see cruelty of light I pull my sheets wrapped as bandages from my skin Rise from my bed as the grave that I buried myself in The morning roars

Deep Space 03:37
Distant, I awoke distant I awoke in deep space from the sound of nothing I awoke distant So distant from you Weightless, I'm awake and weightless I'm awake in deep space Suddenly outside it the super massive conscience Inside I could not fuse There's no more impulse for distress signals I'm on the backslide far from the narrow road Where your absence doesn't feel like lack Even in the gaping black So I'll be What I'll be I'll be What I'll be I'll be alright

Multicon 03:22
Is it better left alone in the vacuum of the soul, all unheard sound and thought? I don't know Cause I only take away with every word I try to say And the sound breathes diluted in its escape I can't find the reason in why I don't let go A man with so much dreaming has little life to show My unsure hands subdued by sinking thought This thing is a fire that I can't get to burn Embers breathing tired all the heat dispersed With ashes in my lungs I scream to be heard But what is it worth? What is it? What is it you think you need? What is it you really seek? Giving til you're empty But you aren't owed anything

Brother 06:09
Brother, you look like Abel, the favored son Every piece in line all of you is made of love It gives you form and weight and color still in your veins How did you stand stable Oh, brother, ever able? How your hands were blessed they knew not to transgress In all things you were sure And his eyes saw you as pure He loved you better Brother, why can't I be what I try to be? Is the blood of Cain the truest part of me? Running so cold and thin I must be translucent I cannot hide my shame though I try to turn away Cause there is no deceiving My gifts will not please him Is there nothing I can do? From the start was I doomed? Am I not lovely in his sight?
