Midnight Sun 03:22
Caught in the space Between asleep and awake Where vibe checks are paid With my mental state In the midnight sun When the room weighs a tonne Wired like batteries I can't stop Force-feeding arcadia Drank down with the poison More Force-feeding arcadia Drank down with the poison Give me more Give me more It's all upper case 'Till the walls start to shake Tell myself I'm reckless Mistakes will leave me breathless In the midnight sun When the room weighs a tonne Wired like batteries I can't stop Force-feeding arcadia Drank down with the poison More Force-feeding arcadia Drank down with the poison Give me more Give me more Sleep estranged Tied on a string to this place Bound to be chanting the phrase Am I asleep or awake? Am I asleep or awake? Am I asleep or awake? Am I asleep or awake? Am I asleep or awake? Am I asleep or awake?

Ire 03:09
Who made these lines Stuck on the floor Telling me which way to go? Who made this light Outside the door? The fire that’s keeping me home Imposter Pull me under In the temple there’s a monster Who gave this ghost A skeleton key? Opens the doors in me Who made this map With no guarantee That the directions point to anywhere Imposter Pull me under In the temple there’s a monster Imposter Pull me under Seven shades of daylight I close my eyes So bright I see red So bright I see red But what if all the dark Prepares you for everything you’ve been asking for? Fire and silhouettes You’re half in the shadow And half in the heat of it Who made this lens? It can pretend You’re everything you thought you were A pessimist A narcissist That causes it...

Rain Check 04:17
The rain keeps falling outside Don’t need it to be an ocean To make a place an island Call it a rain check Am I out of my head? Don’t hold any water When the floor is made of thread. I look up and stand where the light will meet you The shadow it stands on the thread beneath you Low Tread carefully On a peak in purgatory Head first into the ground Sea keeps rolling outside The ships outside the bottle The glass it will distort her So we’ll call it a rain check Can’t get out of my bed Won’t hold any water So shake a shake a leg Head first into the ground
