Masquerade 04:32
lyrics
Your lips like burnt sugar. Once sweet, now bitter. And I wonder, is it my fault? We're trying to save face in this masquerade. We occupy the same space watching each other fade away. I shut my eyes to shut you out. As far as I can tell, you're not happy anymore. We're trying to save face in this masquerade. We occupy the same space watching each other fade away. Shut my eyes...shut you out.

Copy, Paste, Repeat 05:49
lyrics
Copy, paste, repeat... Build a world that's so perfect and neat. The little boxes, they fit me so well. My own personal heaven, or personal hell. It's all what you make of it. Work, eat, and sleep.. Can I negotiate the tone of the alarm beep? The great suburban divide is a cut that runs deep. The more you get rich, the more you become cheap. Until you lose all your worth. The saturation is leaving my skin. I feel the heat of conformity. It's slow burning, but closing in. Until all I am is reduced to nothing. Until all we become doesn't amount to anything. Red, green, or blue? The illusion of choice is so fucking alluring. The little pills, they make me feel so well...

Evergreens 04:15
lyrics
Eyes wide with the scene of the leaves on the trees. Tall evergreens take me back home. Where the winter breeze blows right through me. Chills me to the bone. Everything opaque. The look on your face. The words you say with such grace. Take me home. Take me home. Eyes shut with the scene of the waves at my feet. I think of you and I'm back home. Where the ocean breeze stills my breathing. Fills my lungs with hope. Everything's in place. The sun turns to shade. Your smile that makes the trees sway. Take me home. Take me home.

Waiting for Winter 08:24
lyrics
Say that this will never end When our time is up, we start over again An infinite loop of you and me Just have to get out of this summer heat Where are you tonight? I can't seem to find my way through Waiting for winter to let me find my way to you The cold air cuts through Everything fades to shades of blue The dark sun sets low Hold me close in the falling snow Type it up and just hit send Counting on satellites to let me pretend that There's no distance between you and me Just have to close my eyes and dream... Where are you tonight? I can't seem to find my way through Waiting for winter to let me find my way to you The cold air cuts through Everything fades to shades of blue The dark sun sets low As I pull you in and never let go... Come here, come close I just want you to know That this porcelain world is not a home Take my hand and don't let go I've driven too far to just say... Where are you tonight? I can't seem to find my way through Waiting for winter to let me find my way to you The cold air cuts through Everything fades to shades of blue The dark sun sets low And in this moment, all is whole.
