This Automatic Blue: Sum

Simply We
I can't believe it, could it be true
That I'm saying goodbye to you
When it's just you and it's just me
I can't say wether I'll let it be
It's alright to be
just simply happy
The bluest blue of the sea
couldn't keep you away from me
Not the deepest depth,
the darkest deep
Not the greatest limit,
not the farthest reach
It's alright to be
Just simply happy
There's no us without we.

This Is Not An Apology
Here we are so far ahead
and everything
is supposed to be alright
at least for tonight
Here we are
addicts of the deception,
habits of reception
and everything
is going to be alright
Lock us out lock us tight,
kiss us goodnight
You know,
sometimes forgiveness can be a sickness
those times you just
let yourself give in
What happened to consequence
and never let it happen again?

Antiquated
So are we arriving
or is this just falling forward?
Can't compute the error
Can't pretend I even care
If I'm the voice of the MCP: derez me
If I'm the hand of the MCP: derez me
In lies, our own lives held captive
In this thing that's walking backward
Can't reprogram the error
because our system's antiquated
If I'm the voice of the MCP: derez me
If I'm the hand of the MCP: derez me
We cannot forget life, we live it
unconscious conscience that stays unknown
So we are left with whatever this is
Asleep awake, we call it home
We cannot forsake life its given
We don't take it the way we're shown
Maintain, retrain,
transcend the chains of this house
while for now we call it home
Compiled we produce a language
there's only black and white no gray
Interpreter to find the average
the mean sense within the disarray.

Truth In Advertising
We exist at limits that we can't afford
And we push our limit for a little more
We consume the product buy into the lie
We consume the product it happens every time
Because we're always falling for it
Those who sell confidence
won't wait to sell you for less
They sell to indifference
Sheep just right for avarice
Sell a life of deficit
Don't fear you pay for it!
And if you're not in debt
you're just not a patriot.

We Choose Our Reasons
Fall for the false, well spun tale,
but don't mistake
the lingering burn it was my turn to take
I'd take everything,
anything to pull us through
We resolve to dissolve
its really nothing new
But I'm way too far up now, to come down
You can throw a line to me,
but I'll spend the night alone
Rather than try to pretend it's not the end
Just one night would not be right for us
Let's just say goodnight and trust
Just one night would not be right for us
Let's just say goodnight, we must
And I'm way too far up now, to come down
You may still have love for me,
but I'll spend the night alone
rather than try to disarm the traps you've set
I won't forget
I'm way too far up now, to come down
You can lay it all on me,
don't want to spend tonight
only to end tomorrow alone
I'll dream of what we had
I'll find my way back home.

Our Own Way of Understanding
So for all the times that I'm an ass
I hope you know I'm sorry
I don't find it hard to be ashamed of me
And when I mess things all up again
you're better off spending time with friends
who spend their time on friends,
so unlike me
Is it fact or fiction?
This so-called conviction
without conditions
Is it fact or fiction?
And for all the times I never asked,
didn't give enough to make it last,
I hope you know I never meant to hurt you
You show yourself when you should say end
you call it good and call it friends
I thank god you are so unlike me
Is it fact or fiction?
This so-called conviction
without conditions
Is it fact or fiction?

No Matter
Was it yesterday when we were talking
about all the little things that used to
mean so much and just don't anymore
For everything that I believed
I was so naive
I could have swore when we hung up
we had decided
to leave all the littleness behind
we had so much going in
I thought the win would never end
Does it matter in the end?
For everything that I believed
I was so naive
Don't say we'd had enough
Because we just grew up
I spend so little time looking back,
so little time with sentiment
Sometimes it feels like
we never reach the end.

Entrainment
Another day spent lost in the gray
that sometimes days become
I'm not that good at the things I should be
to keep sound more than hum
Rest required 'cause I get so tired
that I live life half asleep
When I get lost in the habits
that displace things I need
You are my atmosphere
Everything I breathe for life here
You are my atmosphere
Everything I need for life, dear
I'll admit that I broke the ice
when I let the party down
And that I get a bit caught up
when I'm lost in a sound
To be true, well, it's always you
and each moment that we share,
the turbulence of life outside
me mixed down in still air
You are my atmosphere
Everything I breathe for life here
You are my atmosphere
Everything I need for life, dear.

Only Moments
We fired the engines but in spite
of everything we say that we might want
there is no way to slow this down
The shape of our future's in fashion
Headlights into darkness crashing
Funny now we choose to count our time
As all these moments just pass by
Cause we're bound to time
A pixel fades
the grey shades of emotion
Burn bright the night,
headlong we fall into motion
Every moment leaving the last
May seem sometimes that we are waiting
But we are not waiting
We're taking our time
May feel sometimes
that we are wasted
But we are not wasting,
we're making life
And taking our time.

Stasis
As with all things comes a time
when it must end
Repay our debt, clean the slate,
begin again
We just keep going and going,
no pretense of sense
We linger on
as if it makes no difference
And when the doomsday seer's say
it's going to end
I tell them, "Let it begin!"
When the hope seekers say
they don't know how this ends
Let it begin
Little child shine your light into me
Reveal the mystery,
show me there's no need to fear
I know, a worthless sentiment,
there is no innocence
Just this stasis
When the doomsday seer's say
it's going to end
Let it begin
When the hope seekers say
they don't know how this ends
Let it begin.
