you’re hiding away
you’re hiding away
you’re hiding away
you’re hiding away
you can’t believe in fire anymore
this cold has settled
you’re frozen stiff
they’re tearing down the walls to leave their mark
you crawl deeper in
are you through with me?
are you through with me now?
you’re hiding away
become disease
you’re hiding away
you’re hiding away
become disease
you’re hiding away
you’ll never be an innocent again
distorted vision
can’t be unseen
they stake their claim on ground tainted with blood
you’re a silent scream
are you through with me?
are you through with me now?
are you through with me?
are you through with me now?

low lit fear
back room deal
escape
plug and prey
no decay
create
hush
humans with guns
lock down don’t run
spotlight search
define worth
evade
well rehearsed
painful birth
display
hush
humans with guns
lock down don’t run
humans with guns
lock down don’t run
humans with guns
can’t change what’s begun

help me
save my soul
show me
brave new worlds
take me (pray to me)
claim my soul (don’t tempt me)
steal me (innocent)
from old worlds (tell me you won’t fight back)
i’m lost at sea on a ghost ship dying to breathe
i’m on my knees but you never listen to me
place me (pray to me)
in your hands (don’t tempt me)
make me (innocent)
whole again (you don’t really want that)
i’m lost at sea on a ghost ship dying to breathe
i’m on my knees but you never listen to me
push me (pray to me)
out of bed (don’t tempt me)
break me (innocent)
on the shore (that’s the only ending)

On Small Screens

dull eyed men with poison shame
test their power staking claim
to bodies
children growing up insane
afraid of words
dim a flame
obscure the truth
it’s nothing new
dim a flame
distorted mouths
will lie on cue
bleed out talking heads with vacant minds
on small screens
empathy becomes thought crime
no climate slaves or refugees
in your safe place we’re all on our knees
dim a flame
obscure the truth
it’s nothing new
dim a flame
distorted mouths
will lie on cue
i’m so bored and you’re so dim
in your safe place only fools can win
// Lyrics by Wilkins

some nights i miss every sound
faint words, bodies on the ground
it seemed like everyone loved me
false light, offers to return
i swear some people never learn
when will we wake up from that dream?
too scared to be alone too broke to move along
don’t you know a ring is just a ring?
you stand inside the night darkness, warmth collide
don’t you know your ring is my ring?
he says, “i know you and i’ve seen what’s coming down”
faint words, bodies turn to clay
these days i can’t run away
she says, “i’m not new - never thought you’d come around”
sunlight, a promise to return
now that the ghosts have all been heard
too scared to be alone too broke to move along
don’t you know a ring is just a ring?
you stand inside the night darkness, warmth collide
don’t you know your ring is my ring?
