[Ben] This creation needs erasing This sketch isn’t beautiful anymore Wipe the fear from these walls and let me start over I apologize if I don’t remember you in the morning You in the morning Stuck in wanderlust, I’m searching for a deeper connection I need a bond stronger than these nerves connecting my heart and brain A telegraph between the two, telling me that I’m worth it That I matter to someone at least [Tyler] Just tell me I’m worth it Just tell me I’m worth it [Ben] Lingering in the past leaves me with cold feet I need a balance between myself That isn’t self-medication Or compulsively saying, “It will all be ok” If I stay fucked for much longer, There won’t be much left for me in the long run I’m scared for myself Time to grow into my home Until I am stable and sane Time to grow into my home Until I am stable and sane

Space Suit 01:37
Lightspeed straggler, unfit for take-off I left my space suit at home I left my space suit at home I’m lifting off into another dimension Where my flight is turning out to be an unreturned trip To the earth I once knew It’s hard to reach for the stars When your feet are stuck in the sand
3.
Specter 01:49
You’ve become a recluse, a ghost And I can’t feel your presence You seem to no longer be anything to me But how I wish to feel your warmth I wish I could feel your warmth, You’ve secluded yourself with so much silence You’ve secluded yourself with so much silence You’re a snowman in the summer You’re the portrait of your father And I pray I’m not the same And I pray I’m not the same I pray
4.
Ghost-eyed and limp, I hover on by Blank in the face, but a crime scene in my mind Misleading conscious to block out the good Wipe me free of who I was never meant to be I’ll do what it takes to get a taste of closure Make amends with the wicked Forever be healed I couldn’t fall asleep, and you asked me why Cuz I’m striving to find what it means to be alive
5.
Castaway 03:35
[Tyler] It squeezes me Locking my limbs at my sides Rendering me vegetative [Ben] Shoulders hunched and head dangled, like wind chimes in the summer Flowing with every breath of the wind Weighed down by anxieties embrace, But my feet still coincide with these waters That try to break me at the ankles, But I continue to stand These waves crash down, But I’m along for the ride Along for the ride Weighed down, with a suit made of lead [Tyler] Weighed down, weighed down [Ben] I carry it fully, but it’s caving in my head [Tyler] Weighed down, weighed down
6.
Rituals 02:05
[Ben] If I failed you, I’m sorry But I am no longer your anchor To fall back on Your ship has been wrecked, And you’re the last survivor Afraid and weak Collecting warmth And learning to live But motionless in thought [Tyler] Motionless in thought [Ben] Collecting warmth And learning to live But motionless in thought You’ve given up
7.
I’m not awake I’m not alive Gathered bodies Scattered lies Let me rest Let me sleep I’m just empty No longer weak Burn me dry Please don’t cry Laid to rest Laid to rest
8.
Inquietude 08:26
[Ben] We tremor in synchronization We suffer in silence But in a sense, I know you best of all We are the same in the sense that we are being consumed, And when we know we are unworthy These breaths grow longer apart but closer to each other This bloodline needs to heal Absorbed by your phantoms They feel your decline, your lack of life Your fear is masked The presence of man Blinded [Tyler] Blinded [Ben] But not to me Blinded [Jordan] Blinded [Ben] But not to me Blinded, but not to me I feel your decline Your lack of life I feel your decline You can’t feel anymore
