No Momentum 02:30
2.
i know what i said crossed a line i never meant to go that far all of the things brought to light don't chain a thing in my heart i'm on your side so when we disagree, i'll rein it in 'cause when it all falls down i'm your ride or die
3.
Want 04:39
i know i know i know i haven't taken time for us but i want to break down all the walls we build up that make it hard to touch 'cause i want to i know i know i know i haven't been the perfect man but i want to find a way to express my emotion the way that you demand 'cause i want to find a space with common ground where we can start to build some framework 'cause i want to make it clear all the things that i feel have gone unheard 'cause i want you prove to you without a doubt i will always hold my arms wide 'cause i want you be the one who proves you wrong you will always find by your side 'cause i want you 'cause i want you

New Pulse 03:38
a grip and it's tightening i kinda like it to be held underwater oblivion waiting i wanna come in a life lived in one breath counting to seven but i've only got six a blip on the radar ghost of another to be held underwater i try to look forward nothing for me then a life lived in one breath there in the window raw and without rules a life lived in one breath

DNR 02:42
more than you're worth more now it's worse DNR but you won't go down fighting is key but you can't see a thing suckerpunch but you won't tap out it's fucked with your brain you've got nothing to say all our fears metastasized so far apart and it's breaking my heart last july could be the last time
7.
My Winter 03:53
haven't touched a soul for days haven't been alone this way months of grief have passed away my winter every mourning feels the same my winter haven't touched a soul for days someone make it fade away
8.
i only know in part i see the cat or not beating or still my heart entangled like a knot like puzzling reflections in a mirror i'm on an odyssey like those in front of me mapping territory the word is not the thing like puzzling reflections in a mirror one step one step left and one step left and you will see it fits it fits squarely it fits squarely through the ring viewpoint viewpoint changes viewpoint changes everything through a through a prism through a prism darkly
9.
The Work 03:17
put away distractions hide the bottle and the cigarettes and in this silent fashion i'm learning to accept regret i can't go back the way it was i tell myself that's a good thing i can't look back at failures all i have is ahead of me turn away from paradise never fit there in the first place the space between has got me paralyzed i can't go back the way it was i tell myself that's a good thing i can't take back the failures all i have is a head of memories

about

The Cost of Living Seattle, Washington

Arranging elements of neo-classical chamber music with noir electronics and soul-splitting vocals, The Cost of Living takes solace in failure and redemption, isolation, and desire. Their debut album, Through a Prism Darkly, is a deeply interwoven digital landscape desperately rendered human.

the cost of living is bret gardín (newaxeyes) and benjamin marx (tov).
