1.
Pulse 02:32
I can hear you through the walls Your mourning masks, the blood in my ears Our pulses match Our breathing phases I am holding onto nothing I am holding onto nothing Knot in my stomach, lost the rhythm Can you see me in the dark? You're crawling back, for sustenance My fingers catch My breathing races We are holding on despite ourselves I am holding onto nothing Knot in my stomach, lost the rhythm I am holding onto nothing Taken my body, lost all feeling
2.
Leviathan 02:31
The inconsistent beat of mechanical perplexity On the National Express, crawling through the nowhere suburbs of my subconsciousness The surreal performance art of banality I write my name in the condensation on the window but it slowly fades away It disappears into a metaphor for dissociation We witness the fragments of sporadic acts of violence We join the coexisting sheets of past, present, future We descend in controlled chaos and reemerge under chaotic control We reach the end and start again And the beat goes on
3.
Whole 02:01
Should I explain, to you or anyone When I'm to blame And it's easier to lead you on I'm tired of wanting something I can never have I'm all made up, and worn down I'll shrug it off when you're wrong Character pantomime I'm tired of wanting something I can never have The words I give you when you touch me you can never undo
4.
Pissed Away 02:16
Pissed away All the goodwill you could have hoped for But that's okay 'Cause there's someone else around the corner But I'll still see you all the time Pissed away All the friendships you could have asked for The same neglect Feels different now you're not depressed You breathe them in and spit them out Now you don't talk; they don't come round Another person; still the same flaws Your body, Ship of Theseus Rotten wooden core Like you were never even here
5.
My life in the third person Viewed from a distance I was on the opposite side to persistence Your words defined my actions Everything else Drifted into a memory, stored on the shelf Going with the perpetual motion Echoes from the chamber Say your name and define the outlines of our uncertain future
