Lyrics
Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion
but I don't need the comfort of any lies
For I have seen the ending and there is no ascending,
Rise

Oh back when I was younger, was told by other youngsters
That my end will be torture beneath the earth
‘Cuz I don't see what they see, when death is staring at me
I see a window, a limit, to live it, or not at all

If you could pull the lever to carry on forever
would your life even matter anymore?
Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion
but it's not what you signed up for

I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
but there's this momentary beam of light
You don't have to wait those salty decades
to get through the gate it's all in front of your face

I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
but there's this momentary beam of light

I could cross the ocean in a fit of devotion
for every shining second this fragile body beckons
You think you're owed it better believing ancient letters
Sure it's a calming notion but it's a lie

You and I, we were lost in the shadows / You got me thinking I won't make it to tomorrow / You stole my mind / Wash the hands, count the spots on the ceiling / Leave it feeling all

Because you love me / The dark of the night lifts skyward / Ever so slowly / And when the dove sings you offer / The rhyme that turns the requiem rosy / How do I say what I want
The Rare Occasions – Scarlet Lies
“Fine!” she said, “I'm going away.” / “You'd better pack those bags” was all I could say / By the time I'd changed my mind / She was a figment, a dream / As sad as it seems, so
The Rare Occasions – Stay
Sometimes I fade into the dark / And set my heart wild / Unravel in your arms so tired / I try to be there all the time / And pull my own weight / But I don’t know why you stay

Gingerly our silhouettes walk parallel / Beneath a sea of desperate electric energy / And in spite of my greatest resistance / The feeling is marked with persistence / I'm drowning

Nobody came to my retirement party / Nobody cares when you’re on your way out / Inconsequential and oh so replaceable / All along I thought I would’ve left with more than nothing
