Track Name: Like Hell
all across the board
hold out against our own
hopes to avoid
the threat of empty homes

plug-in dependency
the calm of despondency
hands wrapped around my phone
no need to leave my home, well alright

like hell they'll run
in faded converse
hold fast, it's on the way

evading sun
in our waking hours
still wasted on the way

up on the wall
bold type for all to see
bask in the glow
of our own celebrity

what was the last you heard of
the fall of the outside world?
a touchscreen of modern art
hold it against your heart and just know

like hell they'll run
in faded converse
hold fast, it's on the way

evading sun
in our waking hours
still wasted on the way

Oh Lord, Good God, you've gotta be joking now

like hell we will
go racing forward
or backward on our knees

our stake in it
defines an error
a fine status update
Track Name: Tie It Off
so far gone and wasted
tie it off long enough to run
time enough to leave for a brief sabbatical
[it won't take]
all along a coppery taste still flows
don't waste it now. don't waste it all

it won't stop bleeding
tie it off but it's raining blood
tie it off but it won't stop bleeding
tie it off but it's raining red

metaphor withstanding
where it goes, nobody cares or knows
a system of belief, better parts of our valor
go the way of all dinosaurs, newspaper, vinyl and hope
like a faint pulse, it's fading out

it won't stop bleeding
tie it off but it's raining blood
tie it off but it won't stop bleeding
tie it off but it's raining red
raining blood from our hearts
