Storm
02:36
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
|

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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
