Cuentos 02:54
Think fast Dither with the drink In my hand Got me looking to and fro Heard they’re coming for me So my face I’m shy to show Oh they catch view Hidden by the flowers On the counter askew Sharper with a treacherous sip Need it because assassins have the softest of lips (Oh yeah) All a mystery to me Can’t unsee what I’ve seen Oh I’ve known it But I never quite knew Try to get me in the spleen So I kick em in the teeth Using muscle memory jiu-jitsu Same dangers but a different plight Game changers Keep on rolling the die Grab a damsel If it all goes awry Stay at the rendezvous For the night (Oh yeah) Oh kiss me more Got me interacting But I’m really quite sore Yes you must think twice Love is a world Full of secrets and spies Espionage desert mirage

Mirrors 04:21
Lately I’ve been talking to myself Glaring at the glass Conversations don’t go well And as I trace the pace of someone else Disembodied voice gonna make all of my choices now Oh you know I’ve got a lot of exceptional traits Don’t ya judge me by the look on my face The stage in place A marquee lit for one Mirrors, the gaze you hold Reflecting my brazen pose Mirror, imitate my soul Inflicting the awful toll Zap tapping the tapetum lucidum Expressions are distracting but I fear I’m losing them Portraits that revolve around any who walk along The lesson in reflecting is knowing you’re not alone Passing emotions upon my slate Which side of the glass do I lay I’m noticing every change Longer the smolder the more deranged I must refrain Mirrors, the gaze you hold Reflecting my brazen pose Mirror, imitate my soul Inflicting the awful toll Mirrors, the gaze you hold Reflecting my brazen pose Mirror, imitate my soul Inflicting the awful toll

Back up or stay near As long as I dream here Fill my heart with a little bit of color Take it all so I never have to suffer I came out of the cloud And I was floating off the ground dumbfounded Fumble my words and I catch them on my feet But I end up eating them The eye on my forehead opens and it closes Lose my breath to the image it exposes Fill my heart with a little bit of color Find the good lost in my head (Yeah) The host Im my lungs let’s me know that I am living You see white But to me the color’s vivid The ghost will not possess you She’ll just take you by the hand Let the poltergeist caress you And you’ll see how time suspends Im irenic while a cynic Bloviate about opinions I’ll be walking while you run You feel the heat I feel the sun Fill my heart with a little bit of color I see faces But which are my friends Fill my heart with a little bit of color And let me be a kid again Breathe in Don’t breath out We enter the void now Fill my heart with a little bit of color I see faces But which are my friends Fill my heart with a little bit of color And let me be a kid again (Fucking shit ) Breath in don’t breath out We enter the void now

Sir Fin 03:14
Looking for a whole lot of love in the wrong places Anybody got the time because I’m losing patience I make my way to the coast with my woes in tow As I hit the water I’m engulfed into a buoyant flow A current gathers around me as I tread in my dread The waves are banging on the door I hear them coming in I can’t help sinking Take a deep rise thinking And I’m sir fin I’m sir fin What the fuck are you talking about ? Your loose lips are just bringing me down I try to swim my way out of the crowd Then they all evaporate into the clouds A current gathers round me as I tread in my dread The waves are banging on the door I hear them coming in I can’t help sinking Take a deep rise thinking And I’m sir fin I’m sir fin I’m sir fin I’m sir fin I’m fighting pain with pleasure But never get a good measure Of how I wanna dispense it This shit is getting expensive (yeah) I’m pensive and I resent it The minute I get it I’m gonna spend it in seconds Never had decadence I ain’t gonna start now This scene is upsetting me Gotta leave it somehow I’d like to abandon it even if I’m too proud Thought’s an atrocity Lost in all the monotony And I’m sir fin I’m sir fin I’m sir fin I’m sir fin No fucks given I’m just living

Lo The sun has rose again Said whoa My eyes reflected red My shadows back And he just won’t stop talking Woe your scent is in the wind So slow It guides me Across this land I peel the flesh from my bones How does it keep on growing back I wander This endless scape I keep no recollection Of where I’ve been In time there’s no direction Follow the blood Then realize That it smells like mine I digress You are my life Your noise is music Take a tear from my eye So slightly soothing Of bliss feels like this Then I will meander Til I die Oh And with the rising of the moon I see you fall from the stars The weeping mountains Catch your grace As my eyes slowly meet yours Both a swirl of color pure just like the ocean A vexing visage volatile to fleeting rational thought Pay no attention To the soul within you Starting to rot I feel the turn Our time is short The sun approaches Oh now now Oh now Oh now now Oh Burn the eyes out my skull Feed the deeds of my soul Let the blood run gold Body’s young Mind’s old Say goodbye to the night sky Live and die In the twilight I see the sun approaching

Teen Rage 04:07
Fuck that Teen Age And all it brought through Fourteen white roses That I’d have bought you Im so close to my childhood I can see the serene Possible becomes impossible By seventeen Then and now again I see a friend Who harkens me Turn around don’t stall Or you will never be Living life behind an ignorance To all I see I remember all my spare time Spent in make believe Come to find out This shit’s a waste of time I’ll never need I’ll crawl my way out of myself So I can fucking breathe It was the age which you bought into all the shit that they sold you Crack my skull like it’s the vessel Now you’re reading the fortune Find a groove then suddenly the rhythm is lost Tentative steps assess my left But to the right I fall Living life behind an ignorance To all I see I remember all my spare time Spent in make believe Come to find out This shit’s a waste of time I’ll never need I’ll crawl my way out of myself So I can fucking breathe Through the years I watch my face shift slowly upon this head It parallels the change in things I’d rather do instead I see my friends faces As I lie awake in my bed Those Teen Age years I won’t forget until the day I’m dead

Leaning on his weak side Listening to old lies Spoke in an inaudible tone Something doesn’t feel right Walking in the moonlight Choose a time to let it all go Where your mama child Aren’t you far from home Don’t you wanna feel joy Smoke from that branch Drink from the bone Where do wise men go Who here will give me show And with a falling grin Assumes the doom Of a melancholy man Jordan’s flowing Catch me in the underside The interstice Admits no kiss to the wicked kind Things I wish I regret Visions of the versions I’ve been Voice on either side of my head One day you’ll know all of my sins Where do wise men go Who here will give me show And with a falling grin Assumes the doom Of a melancholy man

Chill Phil 05:03
Eolian mind Slowly lost in time Hypnagogic life Pardoned by the reaper Repercusiones for the lies Never realized Mollify me For things I never mean Talking to the dead Faces drawing nearer Dissipate by my bed Every now and then Watch him as he be Staring at us all Taken for a fool Father of my father I don’t see it any more Oh no wasting time Give a riddle Get a little more wise Oh no wasting time Give a riddle Get a little more wise Oh no wasting time Oh no wasting time Westerns on the screen Foisted reality Cacophony it seems Sated by the silent sound Of solemn symphonies The avarice of these Founder of my fate From which I claim my name Told to abdicate The lachrymose of those who’ve never known another king Patriarchal pain Oh no wasting time Give a riddle Get a little more wise Oh no wasting time Give a riddle Get a little more wise Oh no wasting time Oh no wasting time Lost my mind Now I’m Chill Phil

Holy Darling 05:09
I dream of her in different rooms Slowly getting nude as she moves Fingers slide the side of her legs Softly kiss the skin on her neck Wish that I could tell you this more Granted it’s somewhat of a bore But maybe it’s just better unsaid Hardly ever goes as I planned I see her sometimes Walking by me Fate deciding the cues I can’t tell if it’s real or imagination The folly of youth I’m lost at a cost Find it difficult alone in these sheets Lying in my bed wandering through my head Trying to help myself sleep Oh It’s like I’m alone It’s like I’m alone Is it love or am I just bored Longing for a body to hold Hopelessly romantic I know Patience is a virtue I’m told I see her sometimes Walking by me Fate deciding the cues I can’t tell if it’s real or imagination The folly of youth I’m lost at a cost Find it difficult alone in these sheets Lying in my bed wandering through my head Trying to help myself sleep Oh It’s like I’m alone It’s like I’m alone It’s like I’m all alone Oh where does the sun set Oh where does the moon rise Oh what is that mindset Oh I see it in your bloodshot eyes I see her sometimes Walking by me Fate deciding the cues I can’t tell if it’s real or imagination The folly of youth I’m lost at a cost Find it difficult alone in these sheets Lying in my bed wandering through my head Trying to help myself sleep
