lyrics

harmless creature with
a fatal feature
removed from nature
never to return

pain inflicted
left unassisted
made brittle
by the sun

stranded

rebirth and revise
time to attempt again
released from need
living on dreams

let them wash like
waves into the days
the ship has landed...

ready for redemption
unafraid of the end

sent back to
set things straight
i suppose it's
never too late
some have said i'm
not meant to survive
i'm here to disprove
all the lies

i grow to get cut again
i look through a foreign lens
i see a line straight to death
i see the other as i hold my breath

i have a choice to
face myself, no avoiding
that's the one i'm making
that's the way i'm taking

i've lied and hurt my friends
it became quite the trend
i'm sorry for what i've done

after all the hospital beds
my mind and body failed and spent
walking the halls of every ward
wondering whether to cut the cord

i feel the full weight of my actions
and realize the importance of love
i can't return to what once was
what i have is just enough

so just try to take me
out of this world
you won't get me gone
i'll go on my own terms

change takes a lifetime
these days i never rest

in the garage
by Mercer

We were masters of our domain (a dirty garage), even if only for a single year. I have a lot of pride in what we were able to create in that short time. 2027 Reunion Tour? (EM)

I will always wish Wisher was still with us. These rough demos are all that live on. (EM)
