lyrics
Reflecting back to the future we see in our eyes
But the sun eclipsed, black soaks the skies
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me
I had to tear you out my soul is half empty
Wasted many a night,
With no vision I'm just staring up
Thinking back to the past I wondered if I cared enough
There were holes in the deck before we cast off
The cocktail was shaken and will explode like a Molotov
The warning signs are everywhere
And with time they only worsened
I suppose I'll never know if these actions were on purpose
But don't think it was an impact when in fact you have not scratched the surface
Trust when I say I've seen the darkness,
I've lived there reveal our deepest secrets, let's compare
There are marks that you can't see
And some that are blind to me
Hand me a shovel I'll dig myself out
The painted smile on my face to cover what I've felt
It's a parasite that lurks in me
I've got to get it out
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me
I had to tear you out and now I'm standing half empty
(Though the despair on my face is cracking)
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me
(Though the despair on my face is cracking)
I had to tear you out and now I'm standing half empty
Can you hear the silence, is it comfortable where the wise live?
Will you ever repeat the words of "yes I'm fine?"
No repeats this time,
I'm hitting back at the remedy temporarily,
An elegantly named identity for everything that's said,
And the words that we won't keep you tried hard to crack this head, and you want empathy?
I'm constantly doubting, the worst critic of my own design.
And I decline the right to be silent or just abide
Hold tight, because I'm packed full of surprises
But the only ones that matter are the ones that survive this
Wasted many a night,
With no vision I'm just staring up
Thinking back to the past I wondered if I cared enough
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me
I had to tear you out and now I'm standing half empty
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me
I had to tear you out and now I'm standing half empty
(I've got to get it out)
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me
(Deepest secrets)
I had to tear you out and now I'm standing half empty
(Blind me)
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me
(Smile on my face to cover what I've felt)
I had to tear you out and now I'm standing half empty
(I've got to get it out)
Can you hear the silence, is it comfortable where the wise live?
Will you ever repeat the words of "yes I'm fine?"
But the sun eclipsed, black soaks the skies
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me
I had to tear you out my soul is half empty
Wasted many a night,
With no vision I'm just staring up
Thinking back to the past I wondered if I cared enough
There were holes in the deck before we cast off
The cocktail was shaken and will explode like a Molotov
The warning signs are everywhere
And with time they only worsened

But don't think it was an impact when in fact you have not scratched the surface

Excellent, genre-defying album. It obliterates the line between rock and electronica but never loses sight of both heaviness and pop hooks. I can't believe this is a one-man project. The songwriting and production are just too well done. This is no work of an amateur dicking around in his bedroom. This guy is a total professional.

"I've watched you do unto others as you imagine they've done to you." Hell yes. I feel this in my soul. Honorable mention: The End of the World. The very last few seconds of the track gives me that tingly feeling.
