Hopeful

I'm more hopeful
Than I've ever been before
and it's got me hoping
Things wont end like before
Pleasant Scenery
The words you painted
Did I leave you waiting?
Couldn't contain it
Was I day dreaming,
Or Faded?
You would still drive me home
I think that I like you
Just thought you should know
I think that I'd like you
To come back
Come back home

Discontent

No more waiting.
Left over exaggerating.
I won't be left suffocating.
I'm over being disappointing.
I wont waste my time with minor interpretations
Watching the rat race, lost in my own thoughts.
I locked myself indoors to hide myself from the stigma.
I guess i'll never win
Vacant stares bred repetition.
Head down. But I'm not out.
This cant be what life is all about.
You said I'd have a home
No matter where we'd go.
Stuck in a world devoid of hope
Left me standing on my own.
I Just want a place to rest my head
I wont find myself at home in another's bed
Head down. But I'm not out.
This cant be what life is all about.
You said I'd have a home
No matter where we'd go.
Stuck in a world devoid of hope
Left me standing on my own.
Is it all that's left in me
To disregard the lifelines cast at me
Drowning in nothing but regret
I'm just so discontent.

Form the words I couldn't say.
Pencil etching promises
Never made a lasting impression.
Forced words not lost in each cliche
Love lost isn't lost love
Don't carry that burden on your shoulders.
Hold fast to the memories
You strived for.
Nostalgic omens in the baseboards
Tongue tied and left me
Wondering
Looking for the answers
Yet still begging the questions.
And I still can't
Form the words I couldn't say.
Pencil etching promises
Never made a lasting impression.
Forced words not lost in each cliche
Love lost isn't lost love
Don't carry that burden on your shoulders.
Hold fast to me
I wont be
Your last
Departing dream
Lost inside my head
My thoughts were antiquated
They didn't serve a purpose
Chose to move on.
An empty void now full
At least more than before
Though still times I remember when
That I was less than.
I was less than me.
Lost now i'm found
couldn't find my way
Left for a time
Now I can finally
Form the words I couldn't say.
Fulfilling all my promises
I'm gonna make a lasting impression.
Forced words not lost in your cliche
Love lost isn't lost love
I won't carry that burden on your shoulders.

Contesting moments
Lingering in this space
A collapse of heart and fate
Romancing a still frame
A memory left in time
Though I cant seem to get you
Off my mind
Find the mistake
buried in the page
I'm holding on
Prosistance my only key
To unlock the truth
Is that so far-fetch a view
To explain to you
That the world isn't over
It's got a ring to it
A life-time to contemplate
this feeling I thought was fate
Collapsing Symmetry
Lifelines parting ways
I follow them off the page
Follow them off the page
It's got a ring to it
A life-time to contemplate
this feeling I thought was fate
Could you hear them say
That they're all the same?
Could you hear the news?
It's hard to contain
Except for this view
We're all the same
Between me and you
Nothing has changed

A 4-piece from Western Washington, they have mixed together
punk, prog, and math sensibilities to form music that makes them bob their heads in odd meters. They have a rather good time. Bound by friendship and counting, these dudes like to show how ordinary it can be to have fun."
