hey baby come home to me i've been dreaming of you for a hundred years sick of waiting staying up to see if i'll be yours even though you're not mine do you think i want too much? is what i give you not enough? i'm just a shape to move against in the dark could you love me if i begged give every piece to make you stay you have me because you know i won't turn away callin callin but you're out of reach push the thought away still i wish you were here you've really got a hold on me all i've got is time why'd i let you burn mine do you think i want too much? is what i give you not enough? i'm just a shape to move against in the dark could you love me if i begged give every piece to make you stay you have me because you know i won't turn away

august in the city i'm mistaking ash for snow lonely's got me thinkin i know better than i know an unmet gaze across the bar summer fades, it's gone too far hoods propped up along the streets they're ready for the show time again attention paid can't get the pace to slow i look for you in everyone it's nothing new, what's done is done balcony a couple drinks our friends just through the door confessing to eachother things we wish we could ignore thoughts the same, hardly spoken aloud a no-win game, melt back into the crowd bleary eyed and stumbling i am trying to get home after all the trouble think it's better i'm alone in the neon lights of the casino unchanged sights, just a view from below i've got nothing left the skyline's a cherried end of a cigarette keep pace the past but i can feel it coming to collect where do you go?

steady hands don't give away you're hiding something all it takes is one little slip to remember this shit you've been trying to forget this heat's enough to break a good man this heat's enough to do it everyone around here's just one paycheck from oblivion hasn't it always been this way? doesn't it all shake out the same? everything that ever was is everything that is to come same mistake made only twice should count for something head down in surrender again lay claim to all you've tried to resist i always thought i'd be a good man i always thought that i could do all i've got is the sun in my eyes all i've got is the sun in my eyes hasn't it always been this way? doesn't it all shake out the same? everything that ever was is everything that is to come

blessed blessed oblivion scratched across a forearm despite your best what happens next is not a hill to die on we've all seen the prophecy so suddenly appears stretched beneath the highway written on the bridges piers how fallible the memory of time and times before easily forgotten or spit out on the floor liquid dreams run their gamut not to admit defeat you should've kept your mouth shut coulda saved you from the heat the center cannot hold structure yields to chaos body remembers everything even if there's nothing learned so go ahead go on to bed tomorrow's a bridge to burn fire rage and fill the sky til smoke eclipse the stars you think you're back to where you're from but you're just where you are paint is falling from the walls the house is still expanding the noises that you hear are all the softenings of landings consider what's before you as it considers you homogeny the final key there'll never be anything new the center cannot hold structure yields to chaos the center cannot hold structure yields to chaos talk forever naturally til time folds into space saying nothing loudly desperate to keep pace they'll kiss you once then kiss you twice then leave you for another tighten that belt up a loop there's only sleep for supper maybe it's humidity or plastic in my brain but i'm so fucking bored it's driving me insane the center cannot hold structure yields to chaos

about

thank you:
tommy for the plug-ins and the feedback, this would not sound nearly as good without those very valuable additions
mable for the macbook and midi controller, i literally couldn't have done this without these precious gifts
jess for learning very quickly how neurotic i am when i'm doing a project, and for being so patient and down to look at every draft
everyone who heard snippets here and there first, but especially dan who has kindly and receptively listened to every shit quality voice message i've sent him (no janet jackson but it's all for you babe <3)
all the homies whose living rooms, bedrooms, guest rooms, kitchens, floors, offices i invaded this past year to try and finish this (particularly francesca, nathaniel, delaney, tara, jacob, and matt)
annabelle for everything
