Hypocritic

This time seems
There's no getting out
Of the headspace that
You made yourself
You don't have it bad,
But you're mad, and
You mean to feel significant
Staring down the harm,
You take it to the sun
To preach at all the pawns;
You don't fool me
Put down the guns
Come take a walk
Why don't you try
To get along?
It's not that hard
It never was
To be a part
To be someone
The kid guards its toy
Like the thing is the last remaining
Sign of home
The freedom to say
What you want like you can
When you're among your own
It must be tiresome
To play a victim,
It must feel so absurd;
You don't fool me
Put down the guns
Come take a walk
Why don't you try
To get along?
It's not that hard
It never was
To be a part
To be someone
Put down the guns
Come take a walk
Why don't you try
To get along?
It's not that hard
It never was
To be a part
To be someone

Bright Ahead
03:28
|
|||
|
A light is fading out
I rush to feel it
Beckoning the sound
Of an open age
Never had I thought
I’d have to leave it
Never had I guessed
I would remain
I hold my breath
Gold rush to wait for it
Slow down, savor
What chills and burns
You give it all you can
And ask for nothing
Break inside to mend
What bleeds your days
You wait for all that was
As close as it was far
I hold my breath
Gold rush to wait for it
Slow down, savor
What chills and burns

Diving Line
04:17
|

|
Don’t go that way,
How I want you
To say all’s at stake
And to call it like it is
Have to stay here
(Trapped at home)
With the weight that
(You don’t know)
If I'm underreacting
Find a place to
(Be alone)
And the weight that
(You don’t know)
Is it all as it seems?
Now, surfacing
For another
It's a distant emporium
In full color, is it real?
Have to stay here
(Trapped at home)
With the weight that
(You don’t know)
If you're underreacting
Find a place to
(Be alone)
And the weight that
(You don’t know)
Is it all as it seems?
Nothing new is ever strange
To you
You kept your heart
So close to mine
Underneath
The diving line

How Come?
05:00
|
|||
|
I took the morning off
To plan a weekend on
Some distant day alone,
Did you still wanna go?
The train was hovering,
A steel leviathan
Our walls were paper thin
You turned to me and said,
How come
At our best we're still wrong?
And the second you called
Had me thinking, how come
Getting lost in someone
You don't see when they're gone?
When I tried answering
The mighty stranger left,
Reminded us of them
They're so indifferent
How come
At our best we're still wrong?
Who’s the one to outrun?
Caught me thinking, how come
Getting lost in someone
You don't see when they're gone?
And the second you called
Had me thinking, how come?

Orange Days
03:29
|
|||
|
My sun'll rise, and I know
It's not much longer now
Somewhere begins a future
A stranger to ourselves
What's left of me and you
Is a geyser rushing out at night
No chance to see it through,
To feel it boil out from under
I can't keep waking up
(Somewhere, somehow
I'm looking at you always)
To dreams of orange days
(Somewhere, somehow
I'm ready to lose our way)
That held us in her arms
(Somewhere, somehow
I'm pushing away the truth)
And kept us for a while
Our time has come
To uncover every answer kept
Beneath the white burn of August
That carries us to bed
What chance to see it through
If the moment falls out from under
And holds a heavy heart
In the open odds of ever landing
I can't keep waking up
I can't keep waking up
I can't keep waking up
(Somewhere, somehow
I'm looking at you always)
To dreams of orange days
(Somewhere, somehow
I'm ready to lose our way)
That held us in her arms
(Somewhere, somehow
I'm pushing away the truth)
And kept us for a while

Much For Us
04:13

Folding at the top of your life
Weekends she never your type
How you gonna stop yourself?
Folding at the top of your life
Weak kids were never so kind
Strong ones shut their mouths
And weaken beneath the quiet
Don’t need much for us
Don’t need much for us
Don’t need much for
I don’t care if this is what you’re in it for
I don’t care
I sit around (I don’t care)
I sit around (If this is what you’re in it for)
I sit around (I don’t care)
Asking what you’re in it for
Folding at the top of your life
Fall back you’re one of a kind
But trip to catch twenty-two
Everyone’s talking about something
(Something)
I don’t think I fully can understand
(Understand)
Or I don’t have the patience to indulge it
Shaking all the upper hands
Don’t need much for us
Don’t need much for us
Don’t need much for
I sit around (I don’t care)
I sit around (If this is what you’re in it for)
I sit around (I don’t care)
Asking what you’re in it for
I sit around
I sit around
I sit around

Wish I Could Stay
03:36
|
|||
|
You’ve seen a face
Falling out of the dark
To mother a whisper
So half of your mind
Can dare to drift off
As the other stays
Always wondering,
Watching through the thunder
For a sign of all the
Monsters in the rain
"Hey, hey, are you in good hands?"
"Say no to drugs"
"And stay like it was the plan all along"
"Hey, hey, are you in good hands?"
"I wish I could stay
Like it was the plan all along"
You said goodbyes
Never meant a thing
But I started guessing
Though we’d gathered our best
It was known for a while
That all through the night
You’d stayed wondering,
Haunted by old dreams
You could not share
In fear you’d throw them all away
"Hey, hey, are you in good hands?"
"Say no to drugs"
"And stay like it was the plan all along"
"Hey, hey, are you in good hands?"
"I wish I could stay
Like it was the plan all along"

Called Away Again
04:01
|
|||
|
Gone
Not erased
Stubborn images a memory
Pull the blinds
No escape
My mood, television apathy
Catch a film
Sit alone in the back
In case you’re called away again
Never starts, so I thought
A dream, just another sediment
Done
With the night
Or what’s left of it anyway
Mind the gap
Rural flight
My body slurred and carried
For how long in the dark
Do we wait, until you’re called away again?
We have it all to ourselves
So we stay, until you’re called away again
Till you’re called away again
Till you’re called away again
Till you’re called away again

Best Kind Of Moment
02:43
|
|||
|
I don't belong here
Pass another season
Move along dear
It's the best kind of moment
The kind that goes
It's the best kind of moment
When we never know, when
It cuts in
Like a razor blade,
Smooth sail
Between sky and lake
It's the best kind of moment
The kind we love
It's the best kind of moment
Passing over us
The summer
Melts like ice on black
Pavement,
Scrapes the knees
And takes me back
It's the best kind of moment
The kind that goes
It's the best kind of moment
And now it's gone, oh no
I've noticed
You're not the same
You've changed
Time to save some face
It's the best kind of moment
The kind we love
It's the best kind of moment
And now it's gone

Something Sound
05:11
|
|||
|
In between, reaching for something sound
Wanting more before a sign is found
Thoughts in circles, sewed in
The feedback wearing it thin
Am I someplace I’d rather be
Off in times different than these?
I wish I knew what it’s worth
Can’t get out of this myself
I wish I knew what it’s worth
Can’t get out of this myself
I wish I knew what it’s worth
Can’t get out of this myself
I wish I knew what it’s worth
Can’t get out of this myself
I wish I knew it
Burn all ties
Foundation lines
For another time
Or a lonely lie
Costing, sinking, all in
Best to flip or to spin
If something real
Isn’t real?
Can’t get out of this myself
Can’t get out of this myself
I wish I knew what it’s worth

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe.
