Debt
04:27

|

I am so worn down // by the things I don’t understand // and I stand so still, I’ve no means to separate // to differentiate myself; // from the passing time between you and I // from a clever line and my conscious mind // from my selfishness and our differences // But I am the same as the ones I love // just waiting for a change, a chance to rearrange // but thats the price you pay // …I guess thats the price you pay

Seasons
04:06

|

City summer is dethroned, // my senses change, they rearrange, they fold // Just grasp this past year by its throat, // its pen thick skin, its all I’ve ever known // Well the season change like nothing else // my secrets grow, its show and tell // and I show.
Or does it show?
Well the tea is cold, I’ve told it all // I spilled the paint and I let it fall awry // so its three months clean to fix it all // its a ladder climb, its a slow trust fall // to breath, to let it go.
So show me how to grow, my love // just show me how to know myself enough // well enough is enough, I know myself // and I’ve seen the change like no one else has known
So let me fade from what I’ve known // my reflection’s changed, its growth // I go, I grow.
Because I’ve been dancing in the dark // I’ve been living in my dreams, // I know, I know.

Red & White
02:56
|
|

I. In this place I know I’m not alone // on my own in places that I’ve known // red and white, red and white
II. the color, the shape // the reason they wanted // but the scene plays over and empty room // and I know how it ends
III. oh my god, its a million miles away..

Give Up
04:13
|
|
||
Everything turns off // everything turned off again, you know? // and in my head its fine, // in my dreams its alright again.
but you can’t give up this time.
because in my head its fine // in my dreams its alright again // and still I’m chasing planes // around my head.
you can’t give up this time
you can’t give up this time
you can’t give up this time

Call My Name
03:45
|
|
||
As my veins come to a close // my curtain draws on tight.
I take it slow for a while.
If I were you, I’d do the same // and I’d sharpen all my knives // for better days
Well she licks her lips // and curls her tongue // like crashing waves. // they chased you out of the dream.
Now the years just pass me by // and the weight will slowly lift // we live on our own, I know.
I can feel it now.
So I listen close to the sound as it grows // and I stare deep into the well of it /// So if my words don’t do the trick // and my voice can’t hold the pitch // If my ears don’t ring,
call my name.

Tiny Hands
02:17
|
|||
Will you live in a house full of dreams // where your tiny hands reach for ceilings // But you know that its the only place // you’ll call home
your collection collects dust // you arraign // and it rusts your dream away
but you know that its the only place // you’ll call home // so don’t go that way

Black Hole Hometowns
04:38
|
|
||
You were a vagabond to me then // just waiting for the seas so change, // a summers end and I am torn between
the new and old and never coming back again. // But I’d do anything for this // But I’d do anything to make it change
A subtle taste of the absolute // and some sharp tongued truth // a bay breeze blown onto my lips // and I’m sinking again // If I could shake the weight of this consciousness // you’d never find me back again, // and again, and again, and again.
So save me some space to carry on, I’ll hold this in my heart.

Story
05:34
|
|
||
Its creeping in tonight, // this fear runs deep in my bones //and my blood just boils in my veins // so I’m digging holes tonight // and I’m sailing away
I’m driving slow tonight, // I just watch the world as it sleeps // because thats all I know to do // when I’m overwhelmed by the spin.
and all these ghosts I’ve known I’ve known // they just fill the space that they’ve been // its another story told from far away // with the distance closed, and I’m not home
So lets make this real tonight // because I’m so damn sick of these dreams // I’ve got memories to chase // and a million miles to run
So I’m not coming home tonight // you can leave my things to dust // something I’ve never seen // is just waiting in the wake of a story told

Come What May Come
04:30
|
|
||
You turn back the days and wait for this to pass // get on a westward plane to save you some time // to let this change your mind like it changed mine // but i’ve got the time
and god I know that nothing new can grow from this // the coasts will split and shift and fade away with it.
But I’ll go if you go.
Find what you’ve been looking for
where this began
or where I am
not who I’ve been.
