Eugene Aserinsky, I Can't Sleep

Stop speaking in capitals and through atlases
I'm playing lightning with the night skies
I'm not god yet but I assume responsibility
Sleep under these nights formed and destroyed

I'm awakened the change in chemicals
All the lights are still on and it never sleeps
Neon will blind your eyes as the city overcomes
Play back all the clues of cassettes broken

I never have seen fingers bleed
Tonight all the rules we fought for die
Kinetic isn't going to potential this time
Save our necks because we have nothing to lean

The Secrets Out

Spill your guts over roof tops and broken car doors
Empty ballroom floors are catching fire nothing left to give
Throw out your dress because your last minute plans won't save you
I'll throw down here for those three wrongly said words
I'd cross my glossary out until all that remained was what I wish I said

I feel your winter on my neck teeth of blood sucking breath
Scream in your sleep until the dark takes it toll
Your night terrors overcome and you'll slip into fault lines
Scream in your sleep until everyone is gone it won't be long

The secrets out and everyone knows your all you've done
Fires will take town and you'll slip into your insecurities
Late nights and long drives will be the death of you
All your friends will go down drunk, sailors gagged and bound

Close Your Eyes Move Forward and Hope the Best

These hallways are emptier than the space between galaxies
I need to breathe but there's no air in a place thats sealed with flames
I can't sleep in the pitch dark these rooms are our tombs
I can hear every sound you ever made but your never even near

The writing on these walls are our instructions for destruction
Close your eyes its better not to see whats ahead of me
If you move forward then you'll trip and fall so walk these lines
Hope for the best and expect the worst can you hear the ship sink

I have no feeling except disgust at hearts and homely eyes
Turn your heads away I don't want it to end here
I'll fall to my knees so you'll deliver the final blows
My hands tremble to your voices and indirect inflections

I know what sweethearts really means and all your niceties
The force of breaking is the same of pencil lead and stones
Villages burn to the ground when your near
Even when its dark I can see behind me its only the forward that scares me

The Only Thing You Can Be Counted On For Is To Fail

I can count all my fingers
and talk backwards through sound
I want to talk to you
Until everything is nothing that remains

Ships are sinking off the coast
Darkened doors and rocky shores
I know where we stood
And now I can't stand in the rain anymore

Tear this down because I don't give a damn
Your lonely nights are your own
I don't want a part in your pity parade

Your lonely nights are your own
Lie through your teeth
You have no morals and we all know
Your lonely nights are your own

Cosmogony

I'll find my way back home
Away from crowded bars
Throw your worst at me
I'll never give in for all of this

I have already chosen to be alone
This is a cheer to our lonely nights
And sleeping in the past tense
Nothing will encompass our sounds

If only you were lonely as me
I've never been more content
Without these growing sounds
The silence is so loud that it drowns out

Franz Unger's Doppler

I was navigating through the narrowness in light
We are thin and we are sleepless tonight
There are palm trees on the east coast
As for me I'll haunt ever darkened door from here to the shore

My self esteem is worth more than this to me
I'm not giving in to your sardonic systematic intricacies
You work like a clock they said but without the consistency

I don't want to awake with another day of disaster
Break the mold or watch yourself fold into the them
These fires and floods were meant for them
Why can't we release them to do what we trained them to
