Temporary

thought this stuff would set us up. all this seemed so necessary. thought this stuff would set us up. would set us up. we set us up. all that shit dragged from the past. all that stuff was tertiary. all that stuff just held us down. it held us down. it left us here reaching out. it left us cold. it left us here broken down. when what we needed was the thing we can't get back. it left us cold. was the thing we can't get back. thought these things could fill us up. all these things were temporary. thought these things could fill us up. could fill us up. we set us up. all the things we thought could last. fatal fall the corollary. all these things they held us down. they held us down. it left us here bleeding out. it left us old. it left us here full of doubt. what we conceded was the thing we can't get back. it left us old. was the thing we can't get back. it left us here with the thing we can't get back. it left us here with the thing we can't get back. we can't get back. we can't get back

remember that night. secrets said. you doubted you'd always want me there. remember that time. fears were fed. i chased you up to the street. one of our lows. how could I make you feel that way. but the road will rise for us. the sun will shine for us. like glue it's stuck to us. remember that place. shields were shed. i wish we could close our eyes and be there. remember that day. we looked dead. we said all there was to say. heaven knows. how did we live another day. but the road will rise for us. the sun will shine for us. like glue we're stuck to us. remember that night. curled in bed. we said all there was to say

be mindful what you toss way. be careful what you push away. think hard before walking away. are you sleeping real tight. safe and warm. in your own little world tonight. will you burn with the last song you hear. be cautious when you fire away. be wary what you piss away. think twice before fading away. are you sleeping real tight. safe and warm. in your own little world tonight. will you burn with the last song you hear. are you sleeping allright. safe and warm. in your sweet little world tonight. will you learn it's the last song you fear. last song you hear. last song you hear. last song you hear

Wait
04:51
|

our goal: the corporeal. with brains that ache. this exercise has found no answers. will you wait for me. we search for something real. a thousand times we close our eyes. to what comes after. wait. so afraid of what comes after. we take what we can steal. our bodies ache. we temporize. exhaust the language. but you'll wait to see. we fail to close the deal. a thousand crimes. we shut our eyes. to what comes after

do the right thing. we've scratched until it bled. choose the right thing. let's give it half a chance. the world is open. circumvent our circumstances. the door is open. give it half a chance. choose the right one. to this thing we're wed. let's do the right thing. before our dream is dead. the door is open. to adolescent romances. the door is open. give it half a chance. do the right thing. we scratched until it bled. let's choose the right thing. before our dream is dead. the door is open. to adolescent romances. the door is open. welcome to the dance

Sad One

storm watch it's a bad one. can't stay and you can't run. fight through for some small sun. there's no hiding. it's all so terrifying. but wipe your tiny tears away. this is where you heal. good god you're a sad one. shrunk small when you're undone. some calm is so hard won. there's no hiding. but what's the use in trying. cover up and drift away. this is how you deal. at least for today. and when you feel like dying. when all your hope gets stripped away. this is this is how you heal. this is where you stay well. wipe your tiny tears away

Broken Glass

phase one you went away. promised in love we'd stay. and that we wouldn't stray. three months ago with hope abound. phase two you made the call. soaked through in alcohol not what you wanted at all. all broken up and broken down. now that you're gone don't have much to say. were we all wrong to think that we could win the day. shaky then strong. even as we walk away our minds are changing. phase three we're on again. when you couldn't find a friend dance with it now and then. might be the one you'd like around. phase four you say goodbye. can't say we didn't try. left here to wonder why shattered on the floor like broken glass. now that you're gone. don't know why i stay. i should have known that our skies could turn. from sun to gray. don't feel too strong. even as we talk away. our hearts are rearranging

Improbable Upside
03:05

my best of friends. this is so familiar. we try to pretend. nothing's wrong. this crutch that we both lean on. tell me that it's fine and dandy. but she said improbable. we're stop and go. we're high and low. and moving slow. just say you'll keep running back to me. improbable she said. my funny friend. this feels so peculiar. the worst ground to defend. we're standing on. these word games you play on me. our language failed us both completely. then you said impossible. it's what we know. it's to and fro. and moving slow. just say you'll keep hanging in with me. improbable she said. my closest friend. looking like the weight of the world. is on your shoulders in my room. where you suffer. there's no upside now. i know you suffer. there's no upside now. i know you suffer. there's no upside. but there's still something left for me. but there's something left for me. i know there's something left for me. i know there's something. something

Home Movies

like faded photos. home movies in your head. their theme of self-defeating. with insides peeling. a spineless mass without a shell. to have always known this feeling well. the more you want it. the more you slip away. this theme of quick retreating. with insides screaming. through sleepless nights an endless hell. to have always known this feeling. still so self-aware. while you fight for some light through the gloom. the boy is still there. alone on his bed in his room. just laugh at yourself. with thoughts this would somehow be. so damn easy. to have been down there. and remained sane. to choke for some air. and drown in rain. to have always been down there
