We’re not going outside In the desolate and rain-soaked streets tonight To the flickering lights As detracted moths indifferent to a flame Thin veils of barbed wire Paint these city walls with brushstrokes so demure You were calling my name And your words remain forever and endured Written in red What kind of creatures stand alone While the city dogs just carried on One hundred years of solitude Following Your ticket and mine The shutters close but only for awhile Would you sit by my side If our numbers drawn were for us to decide The pale light in your eyes Sing a different tune that I’ve not heard before Soon your roses are blurred And your parting words left scrawled across the floor Written in red

Extinction 04:25
Take me to the quarantine Because because everyone outside is an imminent threat Take me to the quarantine Because because Everyone outside is losing their minds Into rust Into absence Into dust Take me to the quarantine Because because Everyone outside is holding their breath Take me to the quarantine Because because Everyone outside is losing this time Into rust Into absence Into dust Into half-life Extinction Why bother trying to escape? Why bother when the outcome stays the same?

Recognition 03:32
Your shining face was in my dream Amongst the hordes of all the same words And just as soon as you appeared You hit restart and stole my breath AI Pre-Crime Security or Insanity? Your eyes Your gaze Your image in perpetuity I tried to match your face but it was an illusion Upload you to my database but it was all confusion Recognition Month after month, year after year Searching through crowds, yet unavowed Awaiting a glimpse of your return You hit control and stole my sight AI Pre-Crime Security or Insanity? Your eyes Your gaze Your image in perpetuity I tried to match your face but it was an illusion Upload you to my database but it was all confusion Recognition

I can’t tell the difference The difference between The face in the mirror Or the face on the screen Im lost in a forest Of truths I avoid Or maybe I’m just paranoid Put your hand through the plastic And meet me there I can’t tell the difference The difference between The end of my flesh and This loathsome machine A casing surrounds me And muffles my voice Or maybe it was all by choice Put your hand through the plastic And meet me there
5.
An image of you quickly passing by Missed like a fleeting train Then your whisper slowly fades away Until it starts again These days move fast When you’re walking on the wrong side of those tracks again if only you could disappear to the attic of my heart an old relic filled with ants and dust and dog-eared photographs These days move fast When you’re walking on the wrong side of those tracks again Well I was passed out in the cold, dark basements of our youth while the music carried on And in the smoke-filled air it seems a projection on the wall predicted everything These days move faster, faster, faster, faster still When you’re walking on the wrong side of those tracks again
6.
Standing here upon the fire escape The streets are empty now at last A chain link fence confined, surrounding us, 
and weaving through the night We always knew this time would pass Through concrete and glass we watch the trains go by A window open for our eyes One last kiss and then the world dissolves, and echoes through our bones We always knew this was goodbye We've got no time to waste To answer To enter
