Joshua Lee This album is a masterpiece from start to finish. Glued Wound is my favorite track without a doubt, and I often find myself singing it randomly throughout the day. Runners up for favorite track include Misery & Isobel and Tinder. This album runs the gamut from heavy, dark lows to soaring, ethereal heights. It's hauntingly beautiful and you should listen to it now. Favorite track: Glued Wound.

some days the mirrors fade they change with the shapes pugilistic faces remain as they break shots to the body my ribs out of place the damage I take only known to a saint or a martyr I’m the villain in a story that I can’t read time like a fire slowly eats us alive burns to control you it owns our whole lives hell like a sequel to every mistake it eats only halos and asks you to pray for something else I’m the villain in a story that I can’t read stay down if you don’t want to fail be crowned the king who was for sale try not to finish what you start retrain the world like Joan of Arc slowly the gates come down can’t wait to wake this town slowly the gates come down can’t wait to wake this town don’t let contenders waste their dreams don’t look away, just let them scream stay down if you don’t want to fail [ same fate, don't let me down ] be crowned the king who was for sale [ can't escape what's around ] don’t let contenders waste their dreams [ slowly the gates come down ] don’t look away, just let them scream [ can’t wait to change this town ] please take your pills so I can sleep

once upon a time i lost for the both of us below the waves you start to rush crushed inside a rhyme where no one can speak or lie every crime in pantomime you start to teach just out of reach i will rebel she's just as sweet a honey bee like caramel dead to rights design the vultures still circling we clear the rust begin to trust lost returns to burn all of our suffering only mine for just a time you start to teach just out of reach i will rebel she's just as sweet a honey bee like caramel the injury we could agree begins to swell and all I see is misery in isobel you start to teach just out of reach i will rebel she's just as sweet a honey bee like caramel a fantasy that I believe a living hell and all I see is misery in isobel

Detention 05:34
leaders who read between the story sever the chapters learning the meaning with none of the answers lessons we need seem so impure no weight to an action couldn't compete with another distraction every disease should find a cure within some compassion please would you capture me I'm bored, we need an overhaul sleep well dream through the bell first lessons always feel so cruel sleep well seasons in hell while you were busy in school i played the part of a fool i know it feels like I'm wrong but the jokes on you seeking the thieves who stole the show dead where we found them no one believed we'd survive the mayhem kids who retreat need scenes of their own sing 'em an anthem watching the creatures fail to attract them punishment seems like such a chore no satisfaction please would you capture me I'm bored, we need an overhaul we dwell in weakness we will reign means well someone's gonna take us away

lonely cravings, vacant space actually empty, mostly ok no one sleeps when the prisoners dream or awake slow temptations, open chains peace feels like a ceaseless phase can’t compete with these halcyon days treat it with alcohol pour it away drain to intoxicate try not to waste eternally young unlikely to change you knew how to save us so gently it aches let’s make a mistake let's make a mistake we're not so unique uncomfortably tame we happen by accident random display let's make a mistake we’re not a mistake I'll make a mistake celebrations wane so thin actual anguish, where'd it begin? it's so cold with their shoulders here bare to the wind heaven help them see me fade artificially feels so great indiscreet like invisible shame seems just like apathy warm in the waves waiting to capture me weightless again our future so bright it blooms with a flame usurping the darkness from all of the shade I'll make a mistake I'll make a mistake let's cast out the light so everything's gray dynamically empty we'll all be the same we’ll make a mistake we’re not a mistake I made a mistake unfazed by the high you’ve washed it away so happy we’re filthy it's such a cliche I made a mistake I made a mistake farewell to your world in love with disgrace don’t call us an ambulance sorry I made another mistake I’m not a mistake I made a mistake

Glued Wound 06:30
death is not a friend to things dust in place of former kings crushed within oblivion singing “change can make a difference” all raised up to fear the end traditionally ignorant open sources abstinent slowly grows to form crescendos from all our screams descending from the wolves we drape our selves in wool pretending sheep can dream of meaning like a phantom mostly fades only hope through recreation to reverse it before it wastes reinventing next time the encore reaches its end pretend you’re only conjuring me again it's all revenge suspend your lonely screams as we haunt routines that sleep through most of our dreams face the crimes we can’t escape just in time but much too late chasing time procrastinates generations always fade away memories only known to cease gone within a century climb down here to rot with me for a hundred years in fear we will build our grave every time we die begin again we’re never ending descending from the wolves we drape our selves in wool pretending secrets are demeaning what if truth is mostly gray shielding youth is so deceiving to rebalance what's at stake fall out so warm as the sun descends we find peace glued wound to seal our fate we're just in time but much too late design the end of days the dust in place of empires that we raise

Only Skin 05:00
under the covered debris the perfect mask for me remove the curtain but don't get ready, no one should because it feels so heavy understood i guess the weight we carry barely stood I'm never part of the team the only broken seam try to repair it but what's the purpose there's no substance underneath the surface worse with time as you begin to worry promise me you're fine stay down weighed down hail to the idiots end of their prime sensitive boys who lack sense in their lives sleep right beside as the suicide watch saves the night stage fright saves time change my face like shapes upon the floor fall from great heights fail to stay quiet fair, but I want more somewhere to explore on the surface you're glad that I'm not bored slowly I'll endure

Tinder 05:35
her haircut calls for eyes to wonder what went wrong a darkness softly soaking on to slay the blonde wake up afraid what a mistake everyone pays for what they’ve done only the lonely should groan over stories in flames beg for the jury you’ll fuel all the fury instead guilty emotions unraveling oceans like lakes predicting a rapture won’t summon disaster bastards choking on their laughter slowly going after all of the freaks blank stares soaring through the air, contributing to nightmares making me weak she enters through the cage a stage if you look in she’ll prove the animals outside were not real men they could be tamed but she’ll make a mistake wait for the flames to walk right in only the lonely should groan over stories in flames beg for the jury you’ll fuel all the fury instead guilty emotions unraveling oceans like lakes predicting a rapture won’t summon disaster actors swinging from the rafters, what a huge disaster, they were the worst capture actually a factor, someone should extract her, I think she was cursed wake up afraid what a mistake everyone pays for what they’ve done only the lonely should groan over stories in flames beg for the jury you’ll fuel all the fury instead guilty emotions unraveling oceans like lakes predicting a rapture won’t summon disaster ashes slowly falling fractions mostly stalling action, they’ll have to wait so tired show me to the bonfire you should know when I die to throw me right in

wasted daylight may shine when waking in bed alive but exhausted all week a slave to the days without sleep remember the cramps will demand a dance with the barman admitting I was a mess almost feels like a blessing no one left to impress let me rest confess in the darkness with no allegations revealing the pain in the absence of help begin to poison myself but overwhelmed by the taste lazy strained eyes stay blind til dreams pour away grace like great wine needs time to clarify as an alibi for the change a gemini it will modify to the cage the enemy my identity is to blame fermenting in patience I repent for my age confess in the darkness with no allegations revealing the pain in the absence of help begin to poison myself but overwhelmed by the taste seeking a conscience a reason to act on withdrawing my name in the absence of health i'll have a toast to myself "three cheers to what I became" the remedy to an enemy is a drink I'm removing my pride so empty inside nothing left here to drain in the absence of self i'll become someone else i'm the monster they blame seeking an action a means to react on the needs I create in the absence of help I'm not feeling myself let me sleep through the day I'm withdrawing my name
