Wind and Waves

It’s in the air
Ominous signs
The oceans rise
I see the tempest descend from the sky
Left in despair
Destined to die
I know the end is in sight
I should’ve let this go
I kept your ghost
It left me hopeless
I hope I’m swept below
This tempest grows
My death approaches
I looked the storm in the eye
Take me away with the tide
Break me inside
The tempest awaits me tonight
I know
That I kept your ghost
Instead of moving on
And I hope
That I’m left below
When the tempest overflows

Autumn Always
04:20

It’s always autumn in my head I wonder why?
I hate the feeling when our conversations die
Sink like a stone into the silence I despise
I’ll never see you again
The tempest gathers in a late September sky
I feel it crawling up the coast with the rising tide
I lock the doors and board the windows up in time
I feel it coalescing
I almost hope it gets inside
I know
That I kept your ghost
Instead of moving on
And I hope
That I’m left below
When the tempest overflows
It's always autumn underneath these broken words
Unfinished arguments that lay on your grave unheard
This peace and quiet is a blessing and a curse
I’ll never see you again
The thunder speaks to me in tones I can’t discern
The rain is heavy on the street as the hailstones burst
Maybe this deluge is the ending I deserve
The coast is overflowing
I almost hope it’s growing worse
I swear I’m gonna die here in time
With the only thing that I fear in life
These permanent regrets I can’t hide
No time to make amends
Lightning strike me down now
I’ll leave my fate
In the hands of turbulent seas that break
It’s not the thought of my death I hate
It’s my last moment alive
I can't take my own mind
I know
That I kept your ghost
Instead of moving on
And I hope
That I’m left below
When the tempest overflows
I wish I had been warned
I spent so much time inside the eye of the storm
I couldn't see the signs
I’m on the shore
The storm will take me if I don't die from remorse
I let this be my life

Hesitate
Take one misstep and you die
If you’ve been afraid
Know I’ll never turn a blind eye
Create something better every time
Make it resonate
With all the misery in my life
Sedate all the suffering inside
Let me medicate
Without a perc 10 every night
Relate every narrative to mine
You can dedicate
All your sanity and time
Tension running down my spine
Storm clouds suffocate the sky
I still dream of days spent in your light
Come back to me
Come back
Shades of terror hide the sun
I’d still rather die than run
Pray my final thoughts stay with your eyes
Come back to me
Come back to me
Petrified in the clutches of the end
Was I meant to die
Or just caught up in the eyewall?
Rewrite every line to recompense
Did you ever try?
Was the indecision my fault?
Survive till the wind picks up again
If they memorize
The new reprise you can die on sight
Deny any sense of discontent
Tell your weathered eyes
You can sleep when your dead
I should've let this go
I kept your ghost
It left me hopeless
I hope I’m swept below
This tempest grows
My death approaches now
My death approaches now
This is how I was meant to die
A relentless tide
Dragged under the currents and left behind
Let the tempest rise
Lay waste to a miserable life
Shades of terror shroud my eyes
I’d still rather drown than hide
I wish I had found your light in time

Surgery

I heard your surgery’s today
I hope it goes okay
I swear to God I tried to call but couldn’t find the words to say
My head is desolate inside
Left to tread the line
Between the weight of indecision and the effort left to try
I know you’re dead on the inside
I can’t dry my eyes
Disdain is different in this light
Cause this could have been my life
I can’t find the road that I’m taking
I can’t hide the fact that I’m breaking down
I hate the state that you stayed in
Hell if I know what I meant then
Bury my bones with this sense of doubt
You said the kids are growing up
Your undertone was rough
I swear the last ten years flew by and every change was so abrupt
My insecurity is high
It burdens me at night
When I revisit every word I wish I heard from your reply
I hate that we never speak now
I can't find the time
You said that we’d always reach out
And this wouldn't be our lives
I hate to know that I kept a part of your ghost
Left it to roam in the emptiness of my own mind
I paid in full for the pessimism I hold
Destined to die beneath it
I wish I tried to see your side
I know
That I kept your ghost
Instead of moving on
And I hope
That I’m left below
When the tempest overflows

Ghost of a Smile
03:13
|
|||
|
My head is flooded with visions I can’t escape
Ghosts of a smile that disappeared from your face last night
Subtle and difficult to explain
Spoke for a while but I could see the disdain you hide
It’s burning up inside you
I couldn’t decide if I’d just been lied to
Bled dry by the cuts your knife drew
What sleeps underneath those eyes
I gave a switchblade to a stone cold killer
Halloween night can decide if I live or die
Kept faith in a full blown sinner
Devil inside couldn’t hide unforgiving eyes
Downed power lines on the pavement
The door’s open wide to the basement
The storms in the sky let the rage in
I knew you’d embrace it
I knew that you’d take me down
The streets are covered in colors I can’t forget
The decorations are sullen under the cold black night
Running from something I still regret
The words you hated could summon thunder to stoke the sky
A turn of phrase unspoken
I’ll never escape from the hate you hold in
Dark shapes on a vacant ocean
Ghosts beneath the tide
I should’ve let this go
I kept your ghost
It left me hopeless
I hope I’m swept below
This tempest grows
You can't disguise
Resentment beneath
Abysmal eyes
The depths of deceit

Sea Glass

|
I spent the summertime with ghosts
The ocean currents took their toll
I kept the messages you wrote
My refuge etched in stone
I hate this permanent divide
Long drives with nothing left to write
These instrumentals haunt my nights
Your words are peace of mind
Frustrated broken down
Dragged under tidal waves to drown
You light is the safe harbor I found
Cause when I see your face lighting up the sky like the moonlight
Tension fades saving grace keeping me alive
Sometimes I lie awake and contemplate mistakes till the sunrise
You can paint the pain away tonight
With shades of blue inside your lucent eyes
The colors that illuminate the sky
Their light is my entire life
The first trace of autumn cold at night
You left the windows open wide
Your eyes are all I hope to find
Beneath the ocean pines
You love the sun upon the sea
You take it with you constantly
A vibrant color on your sleeve
I keep it close to me
I saw the seaglass you left inside
Dark green looks beautiful tonight
Reflections catch your eye
When you walk beside the ocean
Sea glass you left inside
Sky blue and porcelain combined
Their colors emphasize
Your light
I should’ve this go
I kept you ghost
It left me hopeless
I feel the tempest grow again
But I saw your green light glow
It seems like home
Across the ocean
I’ll never let you go again

Tempest

|
I feel the tempest grow
Deep inside
I never let it let me go
Let me die
I felt the first September cold
In July
And now I feel the pressure grow
Every night inside
I hate the season I grieve behind
And monuments that I made
I pray for peace underneath the tides
And solace under the waves
I disregarded the reasons why
You left me here in your wake
If you had only told me I won't be the same
I won’t be the same
Riptides drag me to damnation
Shorelines lead me to my grave
Capsize the last place I kept faith in
Baptize me beneath the waves
Can’t take this feeling anymore
When expectations rise
Last night I felt the ocean floor
It left me paralyzed
I dragged my body through the storm
But left my head behind
I let the tempest define my life
I dread the colder days
Quiet nights
You fell the night I drove away
You might’ve died
The pills let you ignore the pain
But you were fine
It’s hard to keep your story straight
If you’re doing lines all night
I know
That I kept your ghost
Instead of moving on
I hope
That I’m left below
When the tempest overflows
I used to hate when nights would pass slowly
But now the days are moving too fast
The coast is disappearing below me
My life won’t last
I always reminisce beneath the autumn sky
Clear all the spiderwebs that gathered over time
I bought the Ibanez in 2005
I practiced No it Isn't every single night
To escape my life
Ten years go by
Met up with Ry the night I wrote 345
I cut the vocal takes with Tom in late July
So much has changed but I can still remember why
I never slept that night
I won’t deny
I feel like every explanation was a lie
I feel like every confrontation was contrived
I knew the drugs that you were taking took your mind
While I just stood by
I drove away
I took the Lynnway underneath the pouring rain
It turned to snow when I pulled off 128
Gloucester was beautiful if I could see it straight
That was rough that day
I can't deny
I watched you bleed dry
You laid your own grave
You made me this way
I drove drunk through snow
The night you let go
And I kept your ghost
To find my own
I swear you’re with me all the time
The resentment never dies
I hate the memory of you alone on that night
I wish I never looked inside
When the tempest took your eyes
I cried the night that I wrote UFOs in the Sky
I hate to say it out loud
But for seven years straight
I learned to hate October
So let me go down
And suffer my fate
Watch as the waves draw closer
I know
That I kept your ghost
Instead of moving on
I hope
That I’m left below
When the tempest overflows

This EP might be my favorite collection of Hot Mulligan songs yet. Songs like "Featuring Mark Hoppus" are such good songs both Instrumentally and lyrically, yet they are countered by songs like "Don't Cry You Have Swag" that are so slow and beautiful. I can't believe this exist.
