breathing is pointless (free) 01:54
another day this time with rain which, by all means is welcomed by me as to finally have an excuse to be in the worst mood possible thanks for the sympathy aimless walking (how pointless!) pointless breathing (how aimless!) these are the times of our lives... how contrived. how contrived. another day (to try to) keep my mind off the pain even if it's all i breathe and all i can focus on maybe i need some time or a new wardrobe or just a new mind? aimless walking (how pointless!) pointless breathing (how aimless!) these are the times of our lives... how contrived. how contrived. i'm failing to impress (breathing is pointless) i'm signaling my distress (breathing is pointless) i hate the way i dress (breathing is pointless) i've finally cracked under stress (breathing is pointless)

down (free) 02:58
this always was your favorite; the large picket fence on the horizon it constantly reminds me of the searching for someone i somehow, somewhere, lost i formally bragged about my hazel eyes. i now cover them in contact blue. your fire burns the canvas of autumn's skies... leaving a desolate summer behind in untruth i find myself pining for the day... when the sun doesn't shine we bundle ourselves up inside the smell of grass in spring uncovers lust for nothing ...and it's just you...and it's just me... ...and it's just you...and it's just me... i heard they are tearing down the fence ...and all i feel is cold now in this city headlines read, "merely a commercial expense" finally found your excuse to leave me ...and it's just me... ...and it's just me...

red ring (free) 03:02
My left side feels the burn that remains I’ve colored in red the finger for the ring Whatever I have left can’t discern right Or know to leave what’s wrong Leaving guilt ten thousand men strong My greasy hands leave marks on the screen Except the autumn area fashioned like a ring Whenever I decide to drop the hurt I hide It’s your smile and love I need to find If it passes; you’d know that I definitely tried Lights are dimming, paths are slimming…and where does that leave me? (Too late)

pathos (free) 01:24
Take your time! The world is your stage …and I am merely playing along. It’s all I have ever done. …and I was blindly going alone. Take your time! This world is your stage …and they worship everything wrong. It’s all you’ve ever done. …and I (every time) fail and succumb. So much for pathos.

within reach (free) 02:18
found the limits. still stuck in lament. ...you'd think after 19 years; what can you think after 19 years? push through boundaries. release care to the wind. putting on your punk belt. beating hearts bleeding out a dying soul. one thousand motors. can't you feel it beating? won't you make it stop? all this weight. all this pressure. all these thoughts. all my life. ...you'd think after 19 years; why think for 19 more?
