River 03:38
|| RIVER || hopeful as a river that wanders on / down through the valley to become / a part of the globe / but there’s a separate part of me that questions on / as my feet turn to the ocean and I’m dragged / in ways I’ve no control / emeralds displaced / fractions of space / that never stop moving / I’ve been told that our glances flit in frequence with our tones / like struck glass beneath the willows / beside the river where we wander on / I can’t erase that look on your face / as your body hit the river / the tiny things they never stop moving / we are another wave across the globe / larger in sum we are never alone / or at least that’s what I’ve been told
2.
Spoken Ghost 04:22
|| SPOKEN GHOST || you never know what to say about anything to anyone / still we all want more / this is the price you pay for celebrity / there's a constant need to show me what you see / and who you’ll be there with / live your life like no one's watching well we are / you need me to validate your art / although it seems that you're leaving me / snowy eyes locked tight painting spoken ghosts / roped to chords / all across the floor / I used to live my life so angry / now I angrily try to look alive / been caged for years in my own skin / now I brush my teeth and let my soul shine
3.
Hostage 03:47
|| HOSTAGE || I'd hardly spoken a word when / you put your lips to my mouth / and tried to suck the thoughts out / and think em for yourself / but how you gonna let them out / when we're the ones inside of you / thinking rot you'd thought had died / to become more yourself / we'll figure your worth / are you what you lead beyond? are you what you think? are you what you think you feel in a moment? are you anything? / these wooden masks that we take down from off the wall / to nail them shut so the teeth’ll line up / to become more a Self / cause if he ever got out / he'd thrust the nails inside us / rip the spine we made combine us / to return to himself / and figure his worth / here's hoping I don't need the flames / cause when I feel this way / it's a warning / from the hostage
4.
Silence 03:55
|| SILENCE || this place is falling down / this place is shaking sounds / from the walls I hear stories of the way things used to be / I thank god every day that we wake up / count this hope that's on my sleeve / for you, for me / we need more silence if we're ever gonna make our way out / put down your life it's suffocating in your hands / I've spent weeks in this room / and now I find you in a corner that I did not see before / dressed in white you dance on through the ocean's light / it comes in waves / I thank god every day that we wake up / that this ship will save us / take me out of this place / I need a break / If we sing a song will the ocean sing along?
5.
Shadows 02:57
|| SHADOWS || everything’s that beautiful gets washed away/ so there’s time for love ‘cause / it's imperfectly made: wade into the water / Heaven is a moment that we might not see / what better time than this / before our union’s deceased: wade into the water / shadows see between the beams / light sees as truth / every now’s a point from then eternally / so why’s it so hard to start / when we’re already on our way: fade into the water / finding ways to spend my days and keep moving toward clarity / in the water, I will exist
6.
Separation 06:01
|| SEPARATION SITUATION || I need some separation from the situation / gonna lay my life out in front of me / cause it's the problem with proximity that / I can't deal with / take your lust tactics to the window / and show them what you want to be / all that's through the glass is deceiving / filing lines up your nose / let me step away / just being so close / makes me narrow sighted / in a sense & sense / a certain degree of immediacy that / I shouldn’t deal with when making these kinds of choices / now I'm off and out to find the next thing that moves / strike a conversation about anything but you and I / what we were was a lie or so it seems right now / so now you believe in me, Ms. Sweet Denise / caught by the moon with an audience of stars / with her mother's and father's car / she won't get as far as she'd hope she'd be
7.
|| CHOSEN DISEASE || as my hand drifts through the window of my car / I shut my eyes and roll through the waves of wind / with the ocean at my fingertips I keep trying to move on / afraid of getting wet / afraid of missing home again / there it goes, the current hold / this is a chosen disease / one that rules freely / I’ve been blind for months but this darkness speaks to me / I open my eyes and can’t tell when the day begins / with no silhouettes for contrary I park my car out on the lawn / afraid of getting close / afraid hitting home again / so I make the most of this current hold / one more drag and it’ll all go away / I swear / but this sweetness that’s inside of me keeps the bottle rolling on / down the steps / the hollow tells me when / I guess I’m losing friends / I guess I’m feeling something again / this masquerade, undeniably me / when will I truly be free?
8.
Windows 04:00
|| WINDOWS || this is my home / I'm on the outside trying to see / into my home / cause I don't have the key / but the windows might just give me a start / into my home / I've lit a strip of gasoline / straight up to my home / to burn what I’ve been missing / but the memories might be tougher than I thought / I burnt it down / turned around to no difference / this is my home / as it peels off towards the sea / pieces of my home / soot white with ember wings / but the essence of my every single thought I'd ever dreamed of is / waiting waiting waiting / this is my home / just a blossom on the wind / the petals of my home / bloom fire through my skin / but the memories might taste sweeter on my tongue / “earth eat fire” / I am not these things / catch an ember on my tongue / fill me with flames

about

Long Time Boston, Massachusetts

Sometimes the dreams of our youth are not fully realized until we embrace the reality of adulthood. We may know what we want, but we cannot will ourselves into that existence. Each success and failure helped to refine Long Time's individual worldview, and the combination of those unique perspectives has helped to create one of the most engaging and unique rock bands of the modern era. ... more
