Wait Around
lyrics by Calum Foster-Bayliss
Aim at me don't dare waiver
I've fallen into favor now
Red handed culled and catered
To your palette who's your savior, how
Strange hope feels when you're older
Stay close we're never sober, loud
Love making wakes the neighbors
Hard faking all these quiet sounds
I wait around
Tongue tied in lustful burden
You’re tired but still thirstin’, found
Three quarters in your pocket,
Change tumbling out your wallet, doused
My problems in black coffee
it’s hard tryin’ to get you talking, wound
Up always a bit too tightly
Why worry? I sleep here nightly now
I wait around
I wait around
I wait around
As Above, So Below
lyrics by Tiffany Ashley
All my dreams seem to come true
A dozen nightmares and then you
I have waited all this time
but now my mouth's too dry
I have seen you out at sea
A hooded figure next to me
But today I'll take the brushes out
I'll paint over storms and doubt
Leave us just the empty sky
I'll give you some space to fly
Room for sadness room to try
Room for hope to feel alive
As Above so below
Acid trash and crystal thrones
As Above so below
As Above so below
Dying Breed
lyrics by Calum Foster-Bayliss
In a quiet room burning
I felt in you a turning
From the last rays of summer
To these days of endless slumber
In the eve of our wisdom
In the jaws of this new kingdom
Is the crux of our longing
All the love that we left fawning
And I’m wasted here to meet you
And I’m faceless just to see you
In the chains of our kinship
We were crowned then as misfits
Dying Breed
You were all I ever hoped to need
Stagger free
Lunge toward whatever you can be
Whatever you can be
There’s a slowness in your speaking
There’s a part of me you’re keeping
There’s a rose dried on my pillow
There’s a note left by your window
There’s an edge to virtue
There’s a calm in discontent
I never meant to hurt you
What you felt’s not what I meant
There are walls in my eyes now
There are stars still in yours
There are scars in my pride now
Where our love is left unborn
Dying Breed
You were all I ever hoped to need
Stagger free
Lunge towards whatever you can be
But it's not with me
O Holy Day
lyrics by Calum Foster-Bayliss
O holy day, Morning would break but the sky wouldn't change the cold
Our friends were asleep in our house, in our sheets, so we, we could be alone
Made love in our bed with a song in our heads and our arms pressed against the frame
Lo and behold: I was young, I was old as the tongue as it told your name
And the ageless hum of flesh and blood will one day wash away
Still in the buzz left behind from what was there are some things that stay
Like a glint in the mind, like an eye catches light from a star that's long decayed
O holy day, Morning would break but the sky wouldn't change the cold
Try Not To Think About It
lyrics by Calum Foster-Bayliss
Try not to think about the on and off of traffic lights a million stops and blinking eyes that hear you talk and
Tryin' not to dream about the one you love but hold above the day to day the way it was has passed away in conversation
Try not to talk about the world at large your burdened heart has grown too hard from folly starts still in the way of recreation
Try not to read between the lines a page of white cannot decide
And when you come back down to earth you know the fall is bound to hurt
Try not to read between the lines a page of white cannot decide
And when you come back down to earth you know the fall is bound to hurt
The fall is bound to hurt
The fall is bound
The fall is bound to hurt
Bilge Pump
lyrics by Tiffany Ashley
The things I've done for a few years now to get by
I hear the bilge pump sputtering out and then die
I drive about a hundred miles every day
On E half the time
Waiting till I get paid
If I can't keep it together it's just a shame
Wasted potential with no one to blame
No one to blame
Right?!
The things I've done for a few years now to get by
I hear the bilge pump sputtering out and then die
Baby I need you I can't wait to see you let's get together soon
Maybe I miss you-I sure want to kiss you-maybe next Tuesday at noon?
Night sweats and daydreams, forging our own schemes
You'll get ahead if you grind
Stay medicated and dehydrated
In the end just try to get by
The things I've done for a few years now to get by
I hear the bilge pump sputtering out and then die
