You Are the Dusk, I Am the Dawn

petalmotel A delightful and impressive night drive companion. Technically sound, lyrically more mature than many contemporaries (albeit a flair for the dramatic is certainly a necessary signifier for the catgeory). Listening induces waves of nostalgia, invoking memories of Coheed and Cambria, Hellogoodbye, and a little Underoath, and the things I loved about that music way back when. A genre study, but not lacking warmth and personality. Think Taking Back Sunday meets the Cure. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Favorite track: Wordless.

Losing Time 04:01
I am losing time but i have your pictures just in case so when i close my eyes i see the expression on your face it says "why'd you leave me waiting for so long? it's so wrong.. i'm sorry i couldn't make it for so long it's all gone" I am losing time but that's ok it is ours to waste if I could just GET RIGHT and finally lose this stupid taste

Don't Worry 03:29
If you free me from this cage I swear i'll never be the same when you dig me from my grave i'll try my best to behave we're pickin up pieces of my worn out brains who knew that it's true some things don't change these days are so strange there's so much pain we all just need to get away Because i'm sill waiting for things to get better you said "DON'T WORRY" you said "IT DOESN'T MATTER" with all of this fighting and people keep dying i'm just waiting for things to get better for us this year has been such a bust I'm not the only one depressed from the ways that they all opress you don't have to sweat or fret the anxiety in your head With troubles and problems at every turn they leave us bedeviled and full of concern we'll live through this plague we won't be phased or upset you bet with a smile on your face :)

FLAME 05:23
i'm so glad you came along you left your Daddy and your Mom and now you're back where you belong when everybody's gone you are the DUSK i am the DAWN we are the world we're spinning on i'm not sure how this could go wrong but we will be strong i'll keep your pictures all in frames if you still feel the same i'm not one to play all these games but you've always been my FLAME I had to write this song to let you know i'm very fond & we will always have this bond too infinity & beyond No you don't know til you've lost it take my beating heart and just toss it not sure what I should say if you push me away i won't beg you to stay Fell in love under broken streetlights don't leave and I won't give this away i know i'm not gonna sleep right tonight i'll be thinking of you for days & days you are my FLAME

Wordless 03:32
Well I learned this week that nothing in life is free and the things that you have ain't cheap so return to me you sounded so sweet and promise me that you won't ever leave it's so Gorgeous like a dream to ever see everything right here in front of me leaves me wordless i think you will agree it's everything you wanted it to be Go get some sleep and return to the things that held you so close to the ground nah, it wasn't who wanted make believe but i'm really glad you stuck around

I never knew you had it in you to do something so selfless. Paint a picture your favorite mixture you're too quick you're on point Broken-Hearted No-good artist leave me feeling helpless Go abandon I understand it we're too cool to be annoyed Could you turn the light on before you go? my thoughts are coming in through the windows will you turn my mind off before you leave there's something hiding just right behind me Did you give them all your time? take advantage of me Lord have mercy on thee. Altruistic all your life? You can't fight this feeling you're staring at the ceiling (LIL HOG AKA JLTV) Sometimes I hate my body Hate my weight Hate my wasted youth Sometimes I hate my hobbies Hate my fate Can’t find Ma way to you Sometimes I hate the copies I hate the blade That Find the veins and spray these stains But we normalize it Pharmacists organize it - the merchandise that sposed to regulate my self hate - They got me medicated - These suicidal thoughts should’ve vacated Got some friends who could emulate it Shit- And we laugh and celebrate it - Shit - maybe try to tell people - Get em’ educated - But here we are just lying and trying to hide it Like if we just deny it - It goes away Embrace the fate we all gonna have some day. I just want it sooner than you do I prick my skin and call it voodoo Who do you think you are trying to please I never guessed you'd be distressed I gave my best and you were selfless So leave me shattered it never mattered torn and tattered and helpless i've been committed but you insisted I can't resist it I melted would you turn the light on before you go? My thoughts are coming in through the windows Will you turn my mind off before you leave? so self-absorbed you don't understand me Are you really feeling fine? make a bandage of me but it won't stop the bleeding Tourniquet me or you'll die You can't face the healing escaping from your feelings I gave you my heart you gave me a purpose Brought down the stars and made me feel worthless I've been waiting for the moment when I can say " It's over now" Listen for your breathing inhale exhale out I grew up in Nowhere and now I run around this town Give in to the leaving Maybe I will see you around? You gave me nothing but that's all you had to give I almost felt something but that's not how I choose to live I'm sinking my toes in the sand like the beach that day with every clever word I understand you will never say I always give so much and you always take away I always give so much and you always take away

Words 05:33
It's gonna take some time to get things right You are way too kind Because you reached out reached out just in time and blurred hose lines you're such a sight for such sore eyes Say it slow but you won't understand it you'll never know what you've been handed and at the show when we were both reprimanded You can go and then act like we planned it we always find out what's been going down be chill and find out you can't keep me on the ground listen to the sound can you hear me now? It's been one of those nights where you could leave this city behind But we'd miss those lights and how do you ever know if you are going slow? I know i'll find my own way back home We started late but we'll call it September All of these nights I would die to remember and everything that I know i won't forget i always knew that you can't keep a secret
7.
A Part of Me 04:27
Let's runaway forever we'll spend our lives together it's always the perfect weather when she's around So come what may whatever It's better late than never Sometimes I feel much better when she's in town I hope you know that I've always wanted to pack my bags and start my life with you A Part of me has always been a Part of you So open up i'm coming unglued It don't matter the distance it won't make a difference I don't want to miss it this time around You can't always trust what you see on your Iphone or your TV You fooled yourself until we all found out. OOOOHHHHH AAAAAAAAhhhhh A part of me will be with you we will always see it through it's ok to feel it too i guess i'll see you around A part of me will be with you
8.
Spirits 04:21
Hear me- Spirits! I've been waiting for this I'm left alone to my own devices again Nearly Mystic but I won't keep your secrets I'm not too old to have to do this again (but i'll do this again) No you waited all this time looking for something true Don't let them take your mind I won't let them take you Calling all corpses it's your friend the headless horseman via telephone from beyond the grave see through these fractals you ripped my heart like a pteradactyl Since she left i've never been the same (i'll never be the same) No you wasted all your life searching for something new Don't let them take your mind I won't let them take you No! Please! I'll do anything! Begging for what you give to me No! Please! I'll do anything breaking from what you did to me So what if life gets scary we're making out in the cemetery we'll pray for mercy as they silently attack there's no way in Hell i'm going back

You have the bluest eyes i've ever seen in my life staring straight back in mine it always feels right Darling you're out of sight I can't wait to see you tonight But when we were friends I would watch you from a far and now and again I thank my lucky stars can we pretend I'm wherever you are i'll sing his little song to you and let you know my love is true You have the nicest smile i've seen in a long while your lips are oh-so-fine when they're pressed againts mine so Darling please pucker up i just can't get enough
10.
Hold on to something stay on the ground You won't even notice i'm not around and all this goes to show it's irrelevant it's not too late but there's no telling when someone like you could leave in June. I hate you sometimes but I sure do miss you. Hope's gone there's nothing to smile about You won't even notice I live in this town So needless to say, i'm still so hesitant it leads me astray but they are less fortunate But someone like me could leave this week If I gave up my life would you hold it against me? Leave me in the rain or on some boulevard I couldn't take the pain i'm sorry I broke your heart Living in Disdain my life's falling apart Give it all away and leave me with the Stars Pulled underwater please let me just drown I was feeling so hopeless when I wrote this all down You called his just a cry for your attention but lives were on the line and never would you mention it No one like us deserves distrust It went into the flames just became dust So cut me from your veins my breathing has got too hard I couldn't take the pain But I wanted to leave my mark I've been stuck in my own brain But I was dead right from the start put the past away & leave me with the Stars So leave me with the Stars now at the edge of our system lose your Lover and you'll always miss them with this song you an hear me calling Please know that i'm still with you my darling I'm with the Stars now at the furthest reaches you'll find me in the wind and waves at the beaches with this song we can never die but i'm already gone so please don't cry Leave me with the Stars
