about

A three part suite about identity, the big city, and letting things go.

lyrics

There's a camera full of undeveloped film
In a backpack in a basement suite I drank and threw up in
Bearing witness to some fucked up parliament
Clutching imprints of the scenes I've tried my hardest to forget
I swear to god I'll never drink again

And if you'd let me I would disappear and walk the other way
But in my defense, I never planned to live another day

Take up smoking to come out from underground
Surrounded by six million pairs of ears indifferent to the sound
Of this clock that's ticking down for me

And if you'd let me I would chase the sounds of words you never meant
But in my defense its easier to love than to resent


I had a nightmare, I had nightmare where I'd been
Away for a long time, writing a song I'll never finish
Surrounded by my friends, synapses struggling to define
Room full of loose ends, dunno their names and I don’t recognize
All of their faces, all of the memories that I left behind for peace of mind, repressed, I guess I know its time
To wake up alone and pull myself up off the floor
Start a long drive home

Where God won't judge me
For the faith I've lost
And now I know
That every lonely night awake
Every time I feel the skin break
Break down to feel alive


I'll disappear for several months at a time
Yea, it's easier to ignore it than it is to lie
Say I won't do it again but I know that I might
Sometimes when people just break they leave pieces behind

Pretend like you weren't ever a part of my life
Pretend there's nothing hard about goodbyes
Pretend that I'm not the man I pretend to despise
Pretend I won't break down when I look in your eyes

Would it make a difference if I never make a sound?
Is the world much different if I'm not around?

Would it make a difference if I never make a sound?
Is the world much different if I'm not around?
