Collapse / Expand isn't a concept EP, but it is aptly named. Each of these songs survived multiple, heavy reworks and they landed where they are now. The title also comes from the fact that a lot of things seem to be ending or beginning or growing.
lyrics
Tracing the lines on my hand
Repair the holes in my vision
Are these misfires in my head
The human condition
Been wading in standing water
Likely exposed for too long
My body is unresponsive
My god just tell me what's wrong
Don't know if this state is a threat
Can't fight with no wall on my back
Where's all of the flashing lights
Helping me stay on track
Follow the heart, follow the head
both screaming out, pick me instead
Wish I could out this to bed
Lately I'm leaving
Half empty handed
My company is telling me that we've disbanded
Can't say I blame 'em
I've been an asshole
I'd try to salvage it
buy it's not worth the hassle
I'm stuck in idle
Can't start engine
Slowly accepting
I can't hold my own attention
It might be too late
To save the embers
I killed the passion
when tried to kill the temper
A civilized moment to think
Try not to spend it alone
Do anything in my power
To keep me off my phone
These 28 years have taught me
Secrets about myself
No longer can justify
throwing away my health
I am repeat behavior
slave to my tendencies
Waiting for system failure
To put me on my knees
This foregone conclusion
It's too predictable
One of these days will be fatal
Lately I'm leaving
Half empty handed
My company is telling me that we've disbanded
Can't say I blame 'em
I've been an asshole
I'd try to salvage it
buy it's not worth the hassle
I'm stuck in idle
Can't start engine
Slowly accepting
I can't hold my own attention
It might be too late
To save the embers
I killed the passion
when tried to kill the temper
Leave while you have time
Before I change my mind
You should save yourself while you still have time
Before I change my mind
I was hearing this over and over back in 2013, made me feel validated when I had depression and severe anxiety. You visiting my home country México for the VConcert event right after the album came out and hearing your music live was a dream come true, what are the odds. Thanks Daniel. zeoal
