Lost Cause 05:59
The past, it reads like a seismograph For long the waves were steady and compact One day, everything just fell apart And now the peaks and troughs are deep and dark If time heals all wounds, why do the reading remain If time runs out soon, what will refuse to change If time marches on, how has this world gone so still And if time has withdrawn, where do we get our will Believe in yourself, no one's doing it for you Pull the bottles off the shelf, all your lies and all your truths Smash them open one by one, let your friends run free We are broken, we are one, we are everything your see Yeah we're gonna rebuild even if it's a lost cause Moving on without guilt 'til it's back to the way it was Your perception of the world is unique, the only one The reflection of your heart's found in every one of us Your rejection of our love will blot out your vibrant sun The inception of a void to consume your hope and trust We're gonna get you some help even if it's a lost cause And if you're going through hell, we gotta keep you from getting lost Yeah we're gonna rebuild even if it's a lost cause Moving on without guilt 'til it's back to the way it was The past, it reads like a prophecy Gone wrong, and you are left with apathy Here we go Yeah we're gonna rebuild even if it's a lost cause And if you're going through hell, we gotta keep you from getting lost We're gonna get you some help even if it's a lost cause Moving on without guilt 'til it's back to the way it was Yeah we're gonna rebuild even if it's a lost cause Moving on without guilt 'til it's back to the way it was

I am no savior, I am no saint The gardens I burn down and forests I taint Saving a monster, placing your bets All on a creature you're best to forget Deterioration, I'm falling to bits Asking my body just too much to sit Breaking the village, breaking their hearts A futile attempt to repair my dead parts Just let me go Fall into snow Just let me go You'll never know Give me a reason, give me a rhyme Give me the will to keep wasting your time When the dust clears, when I have gone Then you may see I have done you all wrong Just let me go I've lost control Just let me go You'll never know I am no savior, I am no saint Lives I uprooted and people I taint Saving a monster won't turn him pure This is too much for me, of that I'm sure Just let me go Fall into snow Just let me go You'll never know Just let me go I've lost control Just let me go

First thing right after class I walk out on the ice Above the Looking Glass Got my eyes on paradise Cold water hits my skin And I must make a choice To get out while I can Or I could Or I could sink I already knew This body doesn't fit me right Lacking retinue What can I be remembered by The more things change The more I stagnate The more I grow The more I backslide The more you love me The more I feel hated I fall behind The more things change Answers never match The questions burning in my head Make another splash Inside a pool the world forgets I already know My chances, they are running out Nothing I can show But doubt The more things change The more I stay the same The more I see The more I'm in the dark The more you care The more I feel alone I'm going blind The more things change Always I have known I'm just somebody's effigy Empty as a stone

TRIGGER WARNING: lyrical content relating to mental illness, self-harm, and suicide

There's an old saying: THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, the more they stay the same. I couldn't help but notice this when I was looking back on old songs of mine that I have pulled from distribution. A fan wanted to know what had happened to a few songs that were bonus tracks on the original version of the Get Out of My Head album. It was an album that dealt heavily with mental illness, failing to fit in, and destructive coping mechanisms. There were a couple of tracks that I couldn't find space for on the final cut. Those bonus tracks, plus a couple of other old ideas that are either finally worked out or in the works, are featured on this EP. I hope you enjoy listening!
