1.	We Don't Have Anything More To Say 04:25	lyrics	buy track
Quietly waiting quietly contemplating Am I designed to feel brave? Investigating the honest situation I don't have anything more to say Permeating the neurons through their membranes We are replacing the walls of shame Navigating the approaching wave I don't have anything more to say We don't have anything more to say Say before we play Say before we play Say before we play
2.	Triptych (Change Order) 04:27	lyrics	buy track
Pull me into a bed held by a sturdy thread Open the triptych mind, heard for a second time Do we need to concede paths we dug in the earth? Watching our footsteps grow, pondering what we know It’s too late for a change order It’s too late for a change order Thinking of taking a bow, thinking of holding your vows Both of your faces incline to opposite ends of the line Picture me on shaky seas sauntering to the stern Grabbing the moments I’ve earned. Throw 'em to the passions we’ve burned It’s too late for a change order It’s too late for a change order It’s too late for a change order It’s too late for a change order It’s too late for a change order It’s too late for a change order It’s too late, it’s too late It’s too late, it’s too late for a change order
3.	Monologue 03:17	lyrics	buy track
My monologue speaks to me As a separate entity In a voice so ashamed To carry the bulk of the blame Gotta get back to the first person I don't care if I'm right or wrong Try to get back to the first person Learn to curb my monologue My monologue kept me in check Taught me how to respect Everyone but myself Now it's going up on the shelf Gotta get back to the first person I don't care if I'm right or wrong Try to get back to the first person Learn to curb my monologue Gotta get back to the first person I don't care if I'm right or wrong Try to get back to the first person Learn to curb my monologue Ooh, I don't care if I'm right or wrong Ooh, learn to curb my monologue
4.	Neural Neon 04:24	lyrics	buy track
Cold, feeling worthless Do I deserve this sense of pride? Gold and silver resources Can’t divorce it from what's inside When I'm surrounded By thoughts unfounded Who can be astounded? As the haze settles in My neural neon can begin To light a little path for me Make me choose in time Hold onto the fortress Let the breeze blow by I don't gotta force it But you know damn well I'm gonna try Watch the swarming locusts Become the locus Of hyperfocus When the night begins to sing My neural neon starts to ring A little bell for me Make me choose in time Make me choose, make me choose in time Make me choose, make me choose in time Make me choose, make me choose in time When the night begins to sing My neural neon starts to bring A little success for me Make me choose in time Make me choose, make me choose in time Make me choose, make me choose in time Make me choose, make me choose in time My neural neon is always answering the questions The questions that still confuse me I'm a little bit confused I'm pretty damn confused
5.	Feels Like I've Been Played 03:33	info	buy track
6.	Sever 03:47	lyrics	buy track
Someone better sever the chord We can't be ignored It's time Bluebird, you've clipped your wing And lost your bearing You've tried Hopelessly holding the rope Progress limited in scope Hornets on violet stems Beauty behind the threat Someone, someone, someone Someone, someone, someone Someone will offer their hand So please understand Think twice Have you heard, there are gifts to share? Gentle words to spare Be kind
7.	Fear (Wait for the Rain) 04:09	lyrics	buy track

8.	Desolation 05:18	lyrics	buy track
I know that I'll walk alone again Down this side street I watch the horizon My only only conceit I feel the eyes of an angel as they pass me by A silent connection for a silent time Desolation grows Desolation grows The city is empty Filled with guilt Eight-million faces Breath holds still She tells me most of her everything but I'm still alone I try to give her direction but I can't find my way home Desolation grows Desolation grows Desolation grows Desolation grows (Lonely city, oh) Desolation Grows (It's growing, it's growing now) Desolation grows (You make me, make me, make me, make me, make me so empty) Desolation grows (Oh, desolation grows) Desolation grows (Oh, oh, oh, oh, desolation grows) Desolation grows Desolation grows
