Storm 02:36
lyrics
buy track
Take any part of me that's worth a bit of your energy I guess it's better than being alone There is no hand that feeds But we'll bite down and see what bleeds We'll sleep but we won't ever call it home Take an eternity, I'll still be right here when you need I wasn't doing much before you called And if that's all that I receive I will not beg or fight or plead I'll settle down and wait for your next storm Right now, everything that happens is without you Right now, everything that happens is about you

Tell Me If 04:16
lyrics
buy track
Turn back the clock a day or two Turn back the clock til I see you I've seen all I need to see Let's let it all freeze up for a few These circles aren't a part of me But this isn't what I meant by new It happens one by one in queue But whoever thinks it's coming soon? Did you? Tell me is this love? Cause I never feel like I got enough It's only when it's gone That I ever feel what had held me up Tomorrows gone and found today Another drop of yesterdays I feel it coursing with the sun Keep turning til it's all undone But I left you with the summer's rays Give me the winter on my own I'm swimming up against the flood But nobody gets to what they're shown You would know So tell me is this love? Cause I never feel like I got enough It's only when it's gone That I ever feel what had held me up Tell me is this love? Cause I never feel like I got enough It's only when it's gone That I ever feel what had held me up

On The Outside 03:24
lyrics

Sit up, stand down, take a listen Take a breath, but you're not fooling anybody Grow out, lean in, blow out the embers Breathe the last smoke you'll ever need We aren't gonna fall in line We aren't gonna fall I don't wanna waste my time paying homage to sin We're almost passing through, but we're always on the outside I don't wanna waste my life taking orders from him Yeah we here you knocking, but you can't come in Hold that thought, the party's almost over Feel the drought of common decency Your last laugh, it better be a loud one Then shove off, into an aching sea We aren't gonna fall in line We aren't gonna fall I don't wanna waste my time paying homage to sin We're almost passing through, but we're always on the outside I don't wanna waste my life taking orders from him Yeah we here you knocking, but you can't come in God never learned any faster than we did God never burned any faster than we did God never churned quite as hard at what we did God never burned any faster than we did God never gave any harder than we did God never saved any one I don't wanna waste my time paying homage to sin We're almost passing through, but we're always on the outside I don't wanna waste my life taking orders from him Yeah we here you knocking, but you can't come in I don't wanna waste my time paying homage to sin We're almost passing through, but we're always on the outside I don't wanna waste my life taking orders from him Yeah we here you knocking, but you can't come in

Winter 04:43
lyrics
buy track
Sun down, simmer and drown The evening is a wave come over me Night skies, clear, invite The me that can't earn sympathy Isn't this the best chance I get To finally shudder free Seasons turn with still beating dread What's come over me? Winter is still in my head Despite the room to breathe I'm hiding for warmth in my bed Amid a summers breeze I'm hoping I don't end up dead I really want to see the sun again Before the cold seizes me Pens down, turn it in now This is the self I've finalized In turn, live and let burn Nobody claims to criticize Isn't this the last chance I get? Or was that long ago? Seasons turn with still beating dread Won't you let me go? Winter is still in my head Despite the room to breathe I'm hiding for warmth in my bed Amid a summers breeze I'm hoping I don't end up dead I really want to see the sun again Before the cold seizes me Winter is still in my head Despite the room to breathe I'm hiding for warmth in my bed Amid a summers breeze I'm hoping I don't end up dead I really want to see the sun again Before the cold seizes me Winter is still in my head Despite the room to breathe I'm hiding for warmth in my bed Amid a summers breeze I'm hoping I don't end up dead I really want to see the sun again Before the cold seizes me

Good 03:50
lyrics
buy track
Just right there Another piece just disappeared You don't shed a tear And I can't even care So, where will we be When young love turns to Autumn leaves But never hits the ground? Will we finally make a sound? If there's such a thing as another half, Will we shudder as they flit to the past? Will you feel the hand that could have held you up? Will I hear the name that could've cut my rope? We know we've got something better than most One day they'll say our name with a toast And I pray to god I'm not still wondering Is this as good as it gets? Is this as good as it gets? Nothing's wrong We say our code to carry on Continue through the snow Is this how it feels to grow? We're not hiding here We're not lying to ourselves Should we know better by now? If there's such a thing as another half Will we feel the breeze as they walk past Will you keep the hand that never gave you up? Will I miss the fear that they call falling in love? I know there's happiness in every day But if it's right, is there a price to pay? I've never felt any better than this, but still Is this as good as it gets? Is this as good as it gets? If there's such a thing as another half Will we feel the breeze as they walk past Will you keep the hand that never gave you up? Will I miss the fear that they call falling in love? Lay still my tired and comfortable heart It's not a war that anyone wants to start I've been the fool standing out in the rain Let's lock the doors and stay dry for a change

Heavy 02:24
lyrics
buy track
So it starts again Don't want to call it out, but Heavy is the presence Of the weak and dour Might be back a step But it'll soon catch up Heavy is the failure Building in my lungs Dark lightning in my heart again Soft tendrils of familiar dread Is weakness just a state of mind? Or a battery recharged with time? Health was just a visit In a crowded town Validate my parking As I head back out I thought that I could live Above the shadows of doubt But heavy is the head So full of clouds Dark lightning in my heart again Soft tendrils of familiar dread Nostalgia of the worst kind Comes back to rake a finally still mind So we're here again In the eleventh hour Heavy are the hands As the clock does scour Never thought that I would be Out at all Heavy are the hands Chained back to the wall

Overground 06:55
lyrics

I've never seen the surface I've never seen the surface But I've been digging for a long long time We give ourselves a purpose Repeat until it's perfect And do it loud until they fall in line I know that all that's really growing is our shadows I know that all that's ever growing is our shadows You throw it up and then you fall back down You shell it out to put it over ground, yeah I know it's haunting me But imaginations free so I'll keep humming good and loud To save a light in me to Feel the imagery to keep pushing through the crowd You throw it up and then you look around You shell it out to put it over ground, yeah Is there anyone who wants to fall back down? Is there anyone who wants to fall back down? Is there anyone who wants to fall back down? Is there anyone who wants to fall back down? Where in this tapestry do we opt out we choose to not weave Left handed symmetry Our motives blank Our futures bleakening You throw it up and then you look around You shell it out to put it over ground, yeah Is there anyone who wants to fall back down? Is there anyone who wants to fall back down? Is there anyone who wants to fall back down? Is there anyone who wants to fall back down? Is there anyone who wants to fall back down? Is there anyone who wants to fall back down? Is there anyone who wants to fall back down? Is there anyone who wants to fall back down? Is there anyone who wants to fall back down? Is there anyone who wants to fall back down? Is there anyone who wants to fall back down? Is there anyone who wants to fall back down?

Wishing Well 03:26
lyrics

It keeps on happening when I think the door is closed A little barb in the brain to keep me company "Set it and forget it" doesn't work for mental health Why does it mean so much to me? I think it's over but I can't tell I think it's over but I can't tell I think it's over but I can't tell I guess I must have fallen down the wishing well Symbology and symmetry stopped doing so much for me I need a parachute if I'm gonna hit the ground Just put the lid back on, it'll stay there this time What was I thinking when I let it slither out? I think it's over but I can't tell I think it's over but I can't tell I think it's over but I can't tell I guess I must have fallen down the wishing well I think it's over but I can't tell I think it's over but I can't tell I think it's over but I can't tell I think it's over but I can't tell I think it's over but I can't tell I think it's over but I can't tell I think it's over but I can't tell I guess I must have fallen down the wishing well I think it's over but I can't tell I think it's over but I can't tell I think it's over but I can't tell I guess I must have fallen down the wishing well

Whistle 04:05

I'm painting pistols in the clouds I'm shooting bullets up they never will come down And if I'm crashing through the sky Please don't pardon me, and never ask me why 'Cause I've only got a little longer baby That I can really hold my breathe Holding me down Push me under Don't want another But I'll let you down, just like you knew I would I'm dead but tranquil deterred but thankful So I'll play along, just like you thought I should I'm never here, but always shy If this ain't it then tell then tell me softly worded lies A broken pencil set aside I stop to wonder why I always run and hide 'Cause I've only got a little longer baby That I can really hold my breathe Holding me down Push me under Don't want another But I'll let you down, just like you knew I would I'm dead but tranquil deterred but thankful So I'll play along, just like you thought I should Push me under Don't want another But I'll let you down, just like you knew I would I'm dead but tranquil deterred but thankful So I'll play along, just like you thought I should

Come To An End 02:29
lyrics
buy track
Another starting point Another static passing dream Then it all calms down To something near serene Give it time to rise Lend yourself the grace to fall You'll find it's not that far down after all All things come to an end All things come to an end Certain sensibilities can make it very hard to breath Not many passing fears deserve the agony I can tell you anything But it won't change the suffering Just let it all sweat out while whispering All things come to an end All things come to an end All things come to an end All things come to an end All things come to an end All things come to an end

Grow 03:20
lyrics

I've been hiding in the thorns for far too long Now the sun across my skin shows they weren't all that was wrong Liquid temperament constrains a fleeing heart If this isn't what it takes I sure don't know where to start Set me out Watch me grow Time wilts all And it will show Set me out Watch me grow Time wilts all Fast or slow Vine-like fears follow every nimble step Strangle tightest in the summer When they're hardest to accept I can't run from something rooted in my skull To dig it out will take some work Just how much I'll never know Set me out Watch me grow Time wilts all And it will show Set me out Watch me grow Time wilts all Fast or slow
