Track Name: Ego Reflector
what sounds like singin’ to them
spooks him like a phantom limb
the fight against the trap-set alarm
is waking up your sleeping car

new day collapsing your sundown spark
another morning-show Regis playing the part

out of the dark
headed your direction
short-sighted epitaph of our imperfection

camera eyes forcing life to escape
resenting the removal of the ticker tape

I saw it shining off of your big head
Track Name: Compiling Data
with all the clippings on your walls
and the pictures in my head
the field recordings I have made
of things you’ve done and said
through a misfiring of chemicals
I’m gonna tell you something digital
that on any other page
I don’t think I could say

Compiling data…what else matters
and now you’ve got me compiling data too

someone has to do it
and I can’t seem to ignore
you’ve got boxes full of boxes
stacked on boxes on the floor
I don’t know when this started
you’ve been doing this for years
people have become aware of
what it is that’s brought me here
it’s more than just a hobby
it takes up all your time
I have to do my part to help those left behind

Compiling data…what else matters
and now you’ve got me compiling data too
on you

Open up your eyes, when did you last use them?
You can’t see the disguise this has made you up in
but that’s not me, I am not that person
what could be worse, nothing could be worse than
becoming a device in someone else’s fable
picked apart and sliced and lying on their table

he just needed to be special,
to be behind the scene
what he got was his pale reflection
in a worn out computer screen

Compiling data…what else matters
and now you’ve got me compiling data too
Track Name: Shapeshifter
I guess I never meant it
I’m not even sure why I said it
I wish we could both just forget it
because I know I’m gonna regret it

It shouldn’t mean a thing, what it does to me,
I think about it every day and I can’t take it back

I’m in a new situation
and I’m not sure how it’s supposed to feel
I can never get back
what it is I felt you steal

It shouldn’t mean a thing, what it does to me,
I think about it every day and I can’t take it back
Track Name: knocked you down to lowercase
You live far from town
Your voices say nothing to me
It doesn’t matter what you meant
When you put on that face
Because when they’ve all gone away
they’ve knocked you down to lower case

all they want is your blood
all they want’s for you to believe
every word you overheard them speak

the houses where you go for fun are lacking
and the people there are fighting
over impressions they didn’t intend
bagging that trophy won’t make you a man
face the facts surrounding the fucks
call me daddy, and you’re the one

regret and guilt go hand in hand
when you’re left to face your face
and in their eyes, they’ve come out the winners
knocked you down to lower case

Every thing you were meant to believe
Next in line, you’ve been assembled into the entourage
a recruiter to the cause,
you’re a part of the team
another prop that makes up the scene
Track Name: Coldfront (live)
please…just go
why does it always have to be like this?
I’ve done it to myself this time
there’s no way out, without someone getting sick
I’ve made this fine example of myself for the last time
I hope this is the last time
the temperature’s falling
I built this wall to keep you out
the last time you’re gonna,
in my direction, surface all my imperfections
no one invited you inside
I’m just along for the ride
