I can’t recall what I was looking for
Reward or price of resting
Nailing closed unopened doors
Keep from wondering/wandering
What’s peace
A treaty to seize
A truce with your grief to find a true center?
New me
So naturally
I want certainty
When you need surrender of whatever keeps me angry
And vow to sit this one out
Concerned my discernment conquers my doubts
There’s no way to tell if I’m talking to God or Myself
What’s need
A treaty to seize
A truce with your grief to find a true center?
New me
So naturally
I want certainty
When you need surrender of whatever keeps me asking
How to sit this one out
You’d think id know the difference by now
There’s no way to tell if I’m talking to God or Myself

Lying here like the pioneer of dead legs
Unphased by common men, with common sense, in common phrase
“Set on the higher roads? Ya bet on the higher stakes…”
Well I’ve been listing the reasons I should deny the help
The motive to be still
I will quietly stay right here
Try reglueing my boots back together
I’ve analyzed the moons and tides
As far as I could find
I lost the piece of my peace of mind
Standing there like the debonair of who’s who
And blame every path you came across and every cave
Nothing was yours to keep, nothing was yours to claim
Well I’ve been listing the reasons I should deny the help
The motive to excel
I will quietly stay right here
Try re sewing sole to the leather
I’ve analyzed the scrolls of time
Highlight and underlined
Lost the last piece of my peace of mind

Thriving on impressions
First, second, so on
And barely brush the surface
Still, each stroke says enough
That all anyone offers
Is tainted and watered down
So little to discover
So much to talk about
And only ever prove the absence of the truth
Catch me crowing
Uncaged still controlled
By the black and white or calico
Keeps me guessing
Wonder if I’ll ever bridge
The gap of how I feel
And the way it is

I’m all alone in my home
So bored of the chores and the upkeep
Deaf to all the floorboard creaks
Ignoring all the roof leaks
Dripping sheets in spring storms
And as far as I know
Could’ve been there since the summer before
Or the one before that
Turned my back to the arachnids said no more
And as far as im concerned its their turn to learn to take over
Allied by the dust and dog hair settled in the corners
Put too much faith in my doubt
Whenever I’m looking out this glass block window
In this derelict house
Abiding by the writers rule of three
This superpower overpowered my
But left a little sunroom to store my sins with a bench seat
And turns out all I need
A fair square 10 feet by 10 feet
Day to day to incubate my dreams of wishing
They needed more room to fit in
Oh I could picture it now
A view that’s worth making out in glass block windows
In a derelict house

At first there seemed to be an answer worth giving
To justify the means of how you grieve
Those still here just steered away instead of waiting
Blurred eyes on stars at night
You ignite your world then curse your solitude
You cant breath in your sleep, choking on air
Awake in disbelief, accept that fair is fair
Until you cant compete even with your own needs
Blurred eyes on stars at night
You ignite your world then curse your solitude
Measure a hint of effort
A burst of thought vs the follow through
If there’s anything worse than being here with me
Its being here with you

Curb my devotion
To knowing how to tell
When a story from an ocean thats been overfished and under sailed
I’m on the fence or off the rails
Cut off my reply
I’m too quick with the lip
Still shooting from the hip, admit I’ve never felt so low aiming high
I want the best, just the worst time
Well if I seem distracted its the way
I’m following my finger tracing laps in figure 8’s

Please hold back your thoughts
Cuz when you talk it cures my courage
You said my limbs need to be trimmed
Before the bad fruit can flourish
But I refused to waste my youth adjusting my attitude
And how you bend in every argument
When you realize there’s more to admit than you have been
Get my attention with a bad joke
Keep it with a kiss
Slight misdirection for the sake of hope in blossoming
In my mind
Well, im a matador
Just waiting for the horns
Caught up in my own red flags
Just waiting

When did our love become easy real estate
When did our love become minesweeping for mistakes
When did our love become our love become
A closet pacifist with focus
That would kill to concentrate
A quick collapse in every moment
I would kill to concentrate

I got to listen to some of these songs live during Origami Angel's tour in 2022, which was a really cool experience. I loved them enough to buy a CD!!!

Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening.

Hikes are experts at taking the generally less accessible math rock genre and turning it into something more palatable and digestible to the average listener.
