Antonio Bivins Been listening to Safety since "A Season of Bad Dreams", this album packs a huge punch. Loved every second of it. If only they'd release a proper full length! Favorite track: A Wealth of Sorrows in a Few Words.

Cracked paint chip, monster face on the subway wall It's got my nightmare eyes and your serpent's jaw A dozen specters trapped amongst the screaming dark outside Astonished to discover which one's mine To be in love with you is to hate everything you say or do This train is headed south Last stop Innsmouth Try to get some shuteye, but I feel all shook Everybody on here has that "Innsmouth look" I know that you'll be late somehow, it takes so long to get downtown And I know where you've been just now
2.
I found a letter you wrote me under my bed "I couldn't bear to let you go" that letter read Now we can't even make the time, or maybe you're just too polite "I just don't love you anymore" is what you really meant I know you couldn't know you'd cut so close to me The autumn left and winter came with a frozen stare Connecting dots of fallen snow on your pitch black hair Motionless, remiss, and your eyes fluoresce And we could end it with a kiss, but that wouldn't be fair I know you couldn't know you'd cut so close But when your taxi pulled away I wished you would have stayed With me The book that took a month to read You had to recommend The tattoo on your sleeve The one from "East of Eden" A wealth of sorrows in a few words
3.
If asteroids crashed down on the city of Tampa And tidal waves took over the summer sky Would the sound be loud enough to deaden Bad memories that echo in my mind? If all of the streets we ever walked on Were ripped apart in a final cosmic flash Would the heat from the fires be enough To burn away the past, and melt it into glass So we can check ourselves In the reflection on the way out? No chance for any connection Too late now Don't mistake my taciturn for patience I've said all I'm going to say Let asteroids crash down on the city of Tampa Let winter take us all down in its shade And maybe then we won't have to endure Looking back on what we once made on the way out
4.
In my defense I just couldn't take my eyes from the ground The cracks in the pavement go so far down But I was paying attention to your vacant sounds We are the colors of ultraviolet light Hiding our secrets in plain sight Masks we've made try to shade Our detachment tonight Let's admit we regret what we know for sure and hope that we're wrong But since time is distance, and life goes on Then no one can stay close for long Driving late last night it was growing bright We didn't understand It was never right, it was false dawn light From a power plant
5.
Derealized 03:07
The summer heat dried up the rain The air was sweet like sugarcane There's cold blood in my veins We swam up the Hudson River You spotted landmarks on the shore I never hated you more You couldn't look into my eyes For your picturesque goodbye And all the lines you spoke seemed memorized Like on a movie screen You're just as sick as me Derealized You said "we both changed over time" You came and went with the tide And left me here You make me derealized, afflicted, demoralized We swam up the Hudson River I never hated you more
