I’m getting so numb Making it work with the wrong ones I start to relate, and then it comes undone How do I know you’re an angel, not a shade? I’ve got the queen of wands in the cards reading premonitions I drag my heart to the bar, see if I can drown it away But the queen of wand’s leading and I can’t escape it I dream about you every day I dream about you every day I dream about you every day I get anxious Fighting the will to stay patient A fallen mandala of true heartbreak Is feeding a wandering mind, I’m alright I’ve got the queen of wands in the cards reading premonitions I drag my heart to the bar, see if I can drown it away But the queen of wand’s leading and I can’t escape it I dream about you every day I dream about you every day I dream about you every day I dream about you every day I dream about you every day

Everyday plays the same We sift through a ginseng hourglass Turned over again and again, again and again When will you take the reins? Of a life given up to destiny You get lost in lining up timing and place The further you age Everything missing Breaks in the vision Sands of your ginseng winding down Open and listen The more you resist them Sands of your ginseng winding down Everything missing Breaks in the vision Sands of your ginseng winding down Open and listen The sands of your glass are running out Everyday plays the same We sift through a ginseng hourglass Turned over again and again, again and again Permanence loses strength in the motion of separating tides any fate decided by holding the line is hopeless to find When your life’s run Will you tell it like you turned the lights off? Did you spend it all overly cautious? Were you someone your mother was proud of? Did you keep running from all of your problems? Everything missing Breaks in the vision Sands of your ginseng winding down Open and listen The more you resist them Sands of your ginseng winding down Everything missing Breaks in the vision Sands of your ginseng winding down Open and listen The sands of your glass are running out

There’s been some kind of tension Held in the air when we’re pulling away Trading sharpness in every comment For no other reason than being afraid It’s like we get ourselves turned around, turned around Holding out hope when we’re breaking down Turned around, turned around Oh, we’ve got to find some other way Turne around, turned around Stalling out love while we’re falling out Love comes with every emotion Misstarts and opposite star charts A lion and scorpion are hard to relate Neither will change when we get ourselves turned around, turned around Holding out hope when we’re breaking down Turned around, turned around Oh, we’ve got to find some other way Turne around, turned around Stalling out love while we’re falling out Love comes with every emotion

Revelator 03:05
When you got time to give time doesn’t ever give back to you, face it You got time to give time doesn’t ever give back to you, face it When you got time to give time doesn’t ever give back to you, face it You got time to give time doesn’t ever give back to you It’s your revelator Slowly, hours pass you by in even flow Cast your arms out wide but can’t catch them as they go Slowly, the pillars of your life will soon erode No amount of force turns ashes into stone When you get struck with problematic situations You’ve got to take them as they come And each turning year brings with it revelation The message pushing through your lungs When you got time to give time doesn’t ever give back to you, face it You got time to give time doesn’t ever give back to you, face it When you got time to give time doesn’t ever give back to you, face it You got time to give time doesn’t ever give back to you It’s your revelator It’s your revelator It’s your revelator It’s your revelator Every motion that you make Every moment that you chase Every substance that you take Every obstacle you face Every memory that fades Every monument you place You can’t escape your ceaseless revelator When you got time to give time doesn’t ever give back to you, face it You got time to give time doesn’t ever give back to you, face it When you got time to give time doesn’t ever give back to you, face it You got time to give time doesn’t ever give back to you It’s your revelator

Everytime we listen to our inhibitions nothing ever comes to view We can talk about it overthink and doubt it... only leaves us more confused Cause after we break the cloud cover The feeling isn’t naivete Maybe we can’t stop all of the signs Maybe we can’t stop all of the signs we belong Call it crazy Everytime we listen To our intuition Something always leaves us blue Try to call it pensive sad coincidences Everytime we’re in a mood But even with endless rain falling The feeling never washes away Maybe we can’t stop all of the signs Maybe we can stop all of the signs, we belong We belong, oh We belong, oh Cause after we break the cloud cover The feeling isn’t naivete Maybe we can’t stop all of the signs Maybe we can’t stop all of the signs Maybe we can’t stop all of the signs Maybe we can’t stop all of the signs Oh baby, i want you to care for me, care for me Oh baby, I want you to stay, stay

I’m never set back throwing my races cause I’ve always felt silver shines brighter than gold Nobody gets me that irritated I won’t fall for you baby, stall for you baby, ah I only take shots when I can drain them And I’ve always felt silver shines brighter than gold Nobody get’s the best, best of my patience I won’t walk to you baby, talk with you baby, call for you baby Only you Tell me what we’re trying to delay, baby Only you Throw me the line you know i want to be the go to For Only Tell me what you need me to say, I’m game for Only you, Only You Yeah, It’s all too familiar, neck draped in silver No, the feeling doesn’t own me, namesake is Asomi I never get stressed checking my statements And i’ve always felt silver shines brighter than gold I set my best dressed basic and tasteless I don’t need flashy clothing Play hands I’m holding Take the L if need be The song’s getting preachy Only you Tell me what we’re trying to delay, baby Only you Throw me the line you know the go to For Only Tell me what you need me to say, I’m game for Only you

Lyrics by Meghan McCrumb There’s a dark tide in your sigh rising from the pit of your grief You smile and push it back into the deep End of the line, white lies out of your teeth Living in a fantasy But with the lights off, all your thoughts, swimming to the top of your chest Now your bound to the feelings that you try to repress Memories of all the things you never said They’re trapped in your head But I see you Flying by night, Walking away, taking your prize Can you imagine Making it right, growing our own paradise All the colors of your insides Turn to into flowers when you cry Oh can you feel it all Till it breaks your heart Till you pay attention You get tongue tied with your pride sitting at the edge of your lips Your ego gets you in and out of every rift But you feel so helpless when reality hits Its hard to admit And I see you flying by night off your own breaking your ties Can you imagine setting it right, loving as one open your eyes When’s the last time you let yourself cry? Oh can you feel it all? Till it breaks your heart Till you pay attention Oh, what do you really want? Is it real enough? Can you make it happen? Reborn in water Soul greets the day Zizia flower Opens the gate There is a fire Blossoming flame You are the nectar You are the way Oh can you feel it all? Till it breaks your heart Till you pay attention Oh, what do you really want? Is it real enough? Can you make it happen?

Stasis 04:02
Oh something’s in your brain The kind of thoughts you can’t contain You enter stasis, stasis And every night you lie away The feeling eating you away You enter stasis, stasis Stasis stasis When you’re on your own you enter stasis, stasis Always on your phone you enter stasis, stasis Anytime you run you enter stasis, status Never try to face it your in stasis, stasis Nothing’s going to change when your in stasis, stasis Oh when you can’t relaix The call to action is a drag You enter stasis, stasis And where you are is not enough Should you trust your mind before your gut Your caught in stasis, stasis When you’re on your own you enter stasis, stasis Always on your phone you enter stasis, stasis Anytime you run you enter stasis, status Never try to face it your in stasis, stasis Nothing’s going to change when your in stasis, stasis Oh when you can’t relax The call to action is a drag You enter stasis, stasis
