Struggling in the Breeze 04:08
lyrics
buy track
So you thought if you could Shut everyone out you would Be as happy as you could ever be You led a miserable life You'll face a miserable death Priorities unaffected by reality There's no going back home You burned that bridge long ago And all you've got to show for it Is that tear stained pillow on your bed I guess I'll never know Why I have to fight To get you closer to me I guess I'll never know Why I have to fight To get you closer to me It shouldn't be a struggle It should be a breeze Insecurities are dragging you to the ground Where you always knew you'd be And yet you still can't see That all your schemes Are pulling you apart At the seams So I'm asking myself Another answerless question What is pointing me in your direction? I guess I'll never know Why I have to fight To get you closer to me I guess I'll never know Why I have to fight To get you closer to me It shouldn't be a struggle It should be a breeze It shouldn't be a struggle It should be a breeze It shouldn't be struggle Why go through the trouble? And wind up on my knees It shouldn't be a struggle It should be a breeze It shouldn't be a struggle It should be a breeze It shouldn't be struggle Why go through the trouble? And wind up on my knees I guess I'll never know (know) Why I have to fight (fight) To get you closer to me (me) I guess I'll never know (know) Why I have to fight (fight) To get you closer to me (me) It shouldn't be a struggle It should be a breeze It shouldn't be a struggle It should be a breeze It shouldn't be struggle Why go through the trouble? I've been seeing double All as I stumble Pull me from the rubble But I'll still crumble And wind up on my knees

At Least It's Over 07:02
lyrics

Bodies line the floor So I don't have to feel the cold tiles anymore It's like I'm walking on egg shells Instead I'm stomping in skulls It's what I do for myself That's what really counts (That's what, that's what really counts) Rolling on the floor together Doing what we were put on the earth to do So much time is wasted on the offensive And I don't even know what it is That I'm trying to prove If I see you again I won't have the courage To look deep into your eyes And allow my feelings to flourish Tell you everything I need you to know Ask you questions about everything I don't But I can't say it'll help And I can't say it won’t hurt At least it's over This night has changed everything for me If not for you And it'll start all over This night will have a profound effect on my life And it'll start all over This night will be a weight on my shoulders On my shoulders

Enjoy the Destruction 03:57
lyrics

Hello old friend How have you been? It's been a while since we've seen each other eye to eye You've haven't changed one bit Still spend most of your effort staying kempt And of this I'm not surprised And I wouldn't want it any other way If I have to spend just one more second On my appearance Then I'm going to blow Do I have to scream to get any attention? Or should I just sit back and enjoy the show? It's not you fault I don't have anyone to hold The world has left beaten and bruised and thrown in the cold But I keep no grudges against those who've done me wrong It's a sad existence documented in this song And I wouldn't want it any other way If I have to spend just one more second On my appearance Then I'm going to blow Do I have to scream to get any attention? Or should I just sit back and enjoy the show? If I have to spend just one more second On my appearance Then I'm going to blow Do I have to scream to get any attention? Or should I just sit back and enjoy the destruction? Enjoy the destruction I've got a plan I'm gonna run away from my home Find a new place to live A place to call my own I've got a plan I'm gonna run away from my home Find a new place to live A place to call my own I've got a plan I'm gonna run away from my home Find a new place to live A place to call my own

This Isn't Love 03:27
lyrics

This song's for you It's written to prove That I can meet All your demands I'm not gonna break When you pull out my heart And watch it beat In the palm of your hand Don't expect you to return All of my organs to their proper place They'll be fine on the floor Underneath your feet I'm gonna do Everything I have to do To show you That you belong to me From a broken home Put back the pieces Just to find that I'm still alone And that's why I believe I'm better off with two mouths to feed It's not enough to be wanted I need to be worshiped Second best is not enough When it comes to your love I'm gonna do Everything I have to do To show you That you belong to me This isn't love, it's dependence As for the difference, I don't have a clue But fighting our urges and facing our demons Is not worth the effort This will have to do This will have to do (This will have to do) You will have to do (You will have to do) I'll have to make do (I'll have to make it through) Stuck here with you (Stuck here with you)

Un Scene 04:54
lyrics

Good things come to those who wait Take me, break me, shake me, I'm late "Didn't you notice the passing of time?" Once again I have realized my crime Shit luck, I'm fucked Break out the liquor Drowning in bourbon while the lights flicker There's nothing that I know for sure She's my ignorance's cure Leave me, I'm already lonely without her Because my pride resides within her Trying to escape before the world breaks my legs I've got nothing, still attempting to save face Shaking, sweating, nervous, still waiting Shame in retreating, no use for complaining Take my lumps like every other person Trade my personality for a new version Leave me, I'm already lonely without her Because my pride resides within her Trying to escape before the world breaks my legs I've got nothing, still attempting to save face

Such a Character 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Insert name, insert face I am a clean slate Whatever character you need I'll be I'll be Insert verbs, insert adjectives Place me in a setting One that leads to all kinds of sticky situations That'll make you laugh with all your friends  At my expense Insert words into my mouth Let me fumble, let me stumble around With an assonance that makes no sense I've come to the conclusion that I'm not real First a conflict, then a climax But by that time I won't give a damn You've taken all you gave to me And in return you burned my feet So I declare It's the end

Okay 03:04

All my thoughts are failures To convince myself and my foes Every lyric is a demon I can't get under control And all I can do Is sit back and wait For an epiphany to break Actualization is a journey Traveling a mile a minute With nothing but uncertainty From the start to the finish And all I can do Is sit back and wait For an epiphany to break Think of something new I can create And make everything a-okay And all I can do Is sit back and wait For an epiphany to break Think of something new I can create And make everything a-okay Okay Okay Okay

Dexter 02:57
lyrics

Another season behind my shoulders Just so long as things stay in the past Book's getting older, but chapter's still fresh There's no filling this hole in my chest All the loose ends have been tied tight Nothing ahead to keep me up at night Break out champagne, the killer's been found Enough of a story to keep me safe for now Maybe it's God or maybe it's satan Maybe it's angels or maybe it's demons That drive me to do what I do But I've got a code to get me through What is my fate? Only God knows One thing is certain: there'll be forks in the road Maintain facade, polish my mask That's how the past will stay in the past

about

Candy Eyes is a concept album about an existentially souring relationship consisting of songs which were never intended to be part of a concept. The songs were written 2008 to 2011 and were recorded 2010 to 2011 on less than professional equipment in an apartment living room with a little less than appropriate courtesy for the neighbors.

Originally released in 2011. Between July 2019 and February 2020, the album was stripped down to its original tracks, re-edited, remixed, and remastered.
