Broken Compass
03:35

|
Eyes above the ocean are watching from afar,
There's nothing here to comfort me, and I'm shiftlessly awake.
Perish in the night time, scatter in the morning wind,
Trees bend back and streams distort, Scoring gashes in the sand.
I'm always headed west when I want to leave,
Any other way just feels so wrong,
Everything becomes greater in size,
As I sing my travel songs.
Far above the dirt trails, eyes are scanning for disease
I don't sleep, I fear the thrums of the deep
I just travel on and on

On The Plains

You look so small from outer space
What’s it like down on the plains?
I’d been floating around maybe three or four years
When I came across a big ball of water and land
And I zoomed in a little and saw a big snowy stretch
Of mountains and trees and I saw a man riding a horse
You look so small from outer space
Man what’s it like down on the plains?
You seemed pretty lost, like you were headed nowhere
Your eyes were just set on the horizon and you
Looked like the happiest man around
And I just need to know how it feels to be you
You look so small from outer space
Hey what’s it like down on the plains
I float around while you ride around
And I wish that you weren’t so far

Into The Night
03:01
|

There’s always something I don’t know about the look in your eyes
It always goes so much deeper than I could ever know
And I’ll dive in gladly and return as a stronger man
You beautifully twist and turn me
With the way you do your hair and the clothes that you wear
My days are all blurred by the thought of seeing your face
You’ll take my hand and I’ll crawl out of my body
And lift your feet off the ground with me
This feeling comes only once in a lifetime
With cupped hands, I’ll chase it through the long hours of the night

Departure
05:56
|
|||
|
The valley hills turn dark as the grave
Lost something that can't be replaced
Hope he didn't suffer or have vain, comfortless faith as my own
Without words, without purpose
He was cast down by a fellow soul
Without sunlight, he stubbed his foot on a flame
A lightless walk, through a spiral storm he roams
Unnatural force splinters bones with no remorse
Without glory, he stubs his foot on the grave

Dry Heaving
02:07
|
|||
|
The comfort in a lonely night with a bottle in my hand
Used to fix all of my problems, used to make it go away
I'd find my self dry heaving because I couldn't stand the taste
Because I couldn't stand this life, Because I couldn't stand to grow
I felt pressured by my closest friends so I had to try it out
Just to find out that my closest friends almost found themselves laying lifeless
Choking on vomit, in a bathtub all alone
A locked door on the bathroom could have taken them away
Away from my life, away from my side
The only things that held me up almost broke
I'm scared of all my friends and the things they do to cope
With the sadness that they're given, with the things they do alone
With the pains of their teenage years and the lies told to them
And the scars that are inflicted that they treated with booze
One time I had a daydream of picking up my phone to read a message that a mother found my best friend laying dead and looking blue and laying lifeless all alone with a bottle next to him
The person that I've grown up with was forced away from me and it was the end of everything we've gone through and everything we were and then I woke up and I realized, that dream was almost true

Sea of Fire
06:24
|
|||
|
the passing of this night severely burns
a million ghosts possess the empty city
nuclear wind blows softly past my back
the burning leaves haunt my nervous dream
boiling sea, foam billows from the deep
the sound of an engine splits the atmosphere
ducking heads, puzzled tension, eyes on watch for miles
ash on steel benches, playgrounds flattened
radial disease, endless night
were inviting you to come swim in a sea of fire
to see your city shrunk down a dimension
and everyone you know will be one in the atmosphere
it will be greatest day of your life
blinding neon light slashes across millions
of steel beams and cracked sidewalks
caught in a powerful spotlight
two suns envelope the streets in a furnace
you run, leaving streaks of light behind you, hell on earth
were inviting you to come swim in a sea of fire
to see your city shrunk down a dimension
and everyone you know will be one in the atmosphere
it will be greatest day of your life

Thin Subconscious Air
04:02
|

|
I caught my breath when it came to me that all of this was just a dream
All those tiny interactions that we shared were built from thin subconscious air
I started crying when I couldn’t go back to sleep
Back to breathing that thin subconscious air
We went to explore together in the cave I told you about
Solving mysteries and finding our friends using the glow that you had radiated
Of course I fell right in love with you again
I was not alive, but I felt right
I caught my breath when it came to me that I’ve been living in a dream
But my chest still steals and returns the air in every plane that I exist

The Great Indifference
04:58
|
|||
|
Through dead landscape or still mind, something’s gone, you taste it in the air
Swim up from the freezing, dark trenches until you find the moon
You need to stay alive so you can freeze to death
Life goes on
Nobody’s here just the endless water
Without the sun, Earth is revealed

Farewell To The Sun
03:39
|
|||
|
Everything that I had I began to need
Spent all of my gratitude in one place
Broken promises of dreams
The ceiling fan keeps spinning around Airing out the ghosts of canceled events
Broken promises of dreams
It sings the tune without any words
Beautifully structured but cannot thrive
I first need to pass on after death
To feel what it’s like to be alive
It never ends and it never starts
Out in the city with everyone else
Clouds mask the sun and I check the time
Gotta meet you at the harbor at 25
I haven’t seen you in so many days
Searching for the reason I got up today

Inefficient Methods
03:32
|

|
I don’t remember the first time I looked out at the water
But I know there will be a last time if there already hasnt been
And one day I’ll just be a jar in some hands on a dock
And all the people I love will just be a body of water
I want to be spread across the sea
I want all the times that I’ve been the cause of a smile or laugh
To be breathed in by the fishes and reminisced by my friends
I want to be spread across the sea
With the passage of time haunting me every day, I start to find new methods of wasting away

Shifting Winds
04:06
|
|||
|
The sky went dark, the thunder roared
The tent collapsed, the music ignored
Destroy your forms of meaningless convention
Music is a form of self destruction
I am the truest form of myself
The rain came down stinging our faces
The rain came down closing it all
Under the dark and thunderous sky
The music goes on, depravity flies

Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!)
