Time: stop, stare
Muffled; it's still unclear.
Where are we going? What am I doing?
Do I belong somewhere?
So I'm a washed up dreamer
Falling apart
I look so- so different
When I see her
With a bleeding heart
A bleeding heart
If it should be that I grow weak and
Pain should keep me from my sleep
Well let me leave
If it should be that I can't see
What it is I am leaving
Well hold me still and speak to me

Cornered
02:30
|
|||
I'm a mess and cornered
Deafening, I always get torn
But there are no strings on tonight
I know what this is and I'll keep it in sight
Hands are shaking, eyes are steady
My focus unraveling, but I know the course I'm heading
But there are no strings on tonight
I know what this is and I'll keep it in sight
We're not done yet
We're not done yet
Now your ghosts are all around me
And I can't find my feet
Nightmares are getting impatient (I plead)
Swallowing me

sour taste
02:47
|

Sour taste in her mouth
Another day of the month
Rain's painting with certainty
But all of it's invisible to me
She smiles and nods
Says she loves her god
On my own doesn't mean alone
But it's just time for her to leave
Sour taste in my mouth
Seems everything's pointed south
What I thought I had with certainty
Was unrequited to me

Take Me Back
03:43
|

Life's vices
Our nine to five and licenses don't
Compare to what I've got here
Lord preserve my soul
I don't remember
Half of what I told her
And too fast,
I backtrack
And finish last
Take me back
Take me in, let me back. I crack
And I am taking more than I can
But take me back
This Goliath is
Getting old
And my charade is
Coming down We are the broken, but honest and I can
Honestly say I'm living now
Thoughts spilled off my tongue. Now, I've nowhere to run
But I'll count and keep my pieces
Take me back
Take me in, let me back. I crack
And I am taking more than I can
But take me back

Boyhood
03:26
|

Mom and dad told me: slow it down
But mom and dad don't know what's allowed
In my own boyhood, I have found
Everyone pushing me on and out I'm on the pursuit of happiness
Trying to figure myself out
And everyone else is just coming down
Infected with life, it's mine now
Boyhood, boyhood
Dad, he was a mean drunk. Momma fell
Down too far to get out
Sometimes you get love endowed
Sometimes you live your life a hell
Boyhood
x2
Now I can't sleep - it's too loud
Born to a path in which I am bound
Where I get less as evermore
Washed up on my conscious shore Am I a ghost story? Etching echoes?
Cause it'd be easy to let go
Ninety-seven seconds, no one knows
Where we're going, but we go
Boyhood
x2
Mom and dad told me

Fever
01:39
|
|||
Take back
The words that you left unsaid
'Cause all I see now
What I let get in
(-side my head)
Catch and release
'Till my scene ceases to please
In this fever,
Out of reach

Separate
04:19
|
|||
I used to be in love
With the world around me
And the stars revealed by the setting sun
But that character's been cleaned
Separated like blood and sweat on my skin
Separating the divides within
Separated. The one sin
Oh kid, you're too far in
The lies I'm fine with
It's not your fault, but I can't just suck it up
And they don't care about us
I can't shake off my rust
God, I'm so sick of it: our problems compounding
You can feel it surrounding you
Still it's your life you're living
But are you really living?
Separated like blood and sweat on my skin
Separating the divides within
Separated. The one sin
Oh kid, you're too far in

It Ends In a Whimper
04:17
|
|||
Locked in, spare (the worst)
Retention tensioning
Meaningless melancholic minutia
Leaving the living
Oh, one of these mornings
You're gonna rise up. Memories
Are laces unstringing
Nothing more to give up
On the
Stairwell
Well,
Well
You're screaming out
Softly killing from the inside
Around my back door
Oh, you're crushing us
Your name held in lights
So distant
Where are you?
It Ends In a Whimper
It ends in a whimper
It ends in a whimper
It ends in a whimper

Can't Sleep
03:30
|
|||
I can't sleep
Because I see myself in you
And it chills me to the bone
It's an illness I can't treat
No, I can't sleep
But I'm never waking up
Say 'write what you know'
I can't do a sonnet or a poem
Say 'I already know
...Just what you're about to say'
I can't stay
But I hear it anyway
And it chills me to the bone
It's an illness I can't treat
No, I can't sleep
But I'm never waking up
