Divide
04:02
|
|||
The shelter I have is not enough for where we are
The moon hides its face every night, afraid to die
The calendar tells us to wait inside our cage
I'll laugh as they send me to hell for what I've done
The frames on the walls they come right down
And the light seeping through warms the ground
We carried ourselves to the rooms we were born in
But the doctors had nothing to say on a planned escape
I followed a hole in the earth to wait it out
The flames came to eat us alive and here we are
The frames on the walls they come right down
And the light seeping through warms the ground
The lines in the sand are all that's left
Of our divided land, so now we rest

Way Out
03:07
|
|||
I'm digging my way out for you
I'll find a hole and pummel through
To try and change the moon from half to full to new
I've been underneath for weeks
Finding ways to punish me
For acting like a child here
You say, "All eyes on me, don't you leave for anything"
And the room is yours
'Cus I've seen a lot of simple things
that keep a heart from fluttering through an open door
I think we oughta level out the sound
There's beauty in the unannounced
So darling, hear me out: "I'll never let you down"
It's hard enough for two
When time takes a hold of you and turns you upside down
You say, "All eyes on me, don't you leave for anything"
And the room is yours
'Cus I've seen a lot of simple things
that keep a heart from fluttering through an open door
We carry a weight I can't ignore
Love is just an open sore waiting for air
Clearly I was too fucked up, but now I know I have enough in this time we share

The Fog
03:33
|
|||
There's a silence, like an empty sheet of paper that I stare at
And the sunlight, it gets weaker as we crawl along the foreground
Do you remember the fog?
This is my heart
It's the only artifact that I've held onto
(The music brings me back; I've waited long enough to find out this is where I want to be)
Not the letters that I never sent to home when I was growing
(A simple poetry, so many lines that I can't let go to waste, to waste...)
Do you remember the fog?
Do you remember the fall?
We miss it after all

There's a hole in our chests that tells me love is no victor. It stays where it is and then heads south just for the winter. All the birds in the sky watch it float on home to its kingdom. I know there's a storm that will find us all. The sun's beating high while the moon's on the opposite side. Like a couple of lovers who sleep well half of the night. The thrills come and go but you can't let the boredom surround you. Yes, I know there's a heart that could warm us all. It's all just a game, though improperly played by my standards. The penalties fall from the lips of innumerable cowards. If you were a friend, then where the hell have you been? God I know there's a love that will find us all. God I know there's a love that will find us all. And god I know there's a love that will find us all. And god I know there's a love that will find us all

With The Light
02:12
|
|||
Fall in line, far behind
Gone is the light
Our pace is quick
We plant our kiss
Steady into the night
Leave your sin behind
The fever spreads
A panicked trend
Heads hang in the night
The dead hang in the night
The kids left with the light

Alright With Me
03:43
|
|||
There's a light on from underneath our doorway
Like the light that still flickers in your head
I won't blame you for trying to find darkness
That's alright with me
If you climb down from where your heart escaped you
We could travel the world in second hand
I'll try keeping the devil in the rearview
If that's alright with you
We'll fade into it
Put our faith into it
I've got this company that pulls me from my seat
If I'm alright for you, I'm alright for me, I'm alright
I've been wandering for years among the statues
Of beings with much more sense than I
But time isn't endless and it could leave us soon
So if you're alright with me, I'm alright with me

The Low
04:03
|
|||
I fell behind within a version of myself
I drew a map so you would know where to go
Like waves ashore I tried to drown out the sound
Of all the voices spilling, "You should've known"
It sounded like a lake was forming in me
So I built a raft for you to navigate around
Uncharted land is such an opportunity
Like when your voice starts singing "Don't let me down"
That was not the changed man I want to be
If you swim your way to me and lay your body down in my hands
I'll show you who I am, you'll be in all my plans
I'll have a lot to say if not too late
Because every time I try to make a better life and focus on the good, I start to weep
Once my head allows, I'll put both feet on the ground with you
I see the low again
I let your love come in
I am the low again

Around
03:38
|
|||
We were talking for months the same, in a way
When I got to thinking about the pain
So many fools change every day
I saw my future become my past - are there things to save?
They keep comin' around
We were talking for months the same, in a way
Then I got to thinking about the games so many fools play
Would you say there's a science to closing doors or unlocking them?
They'll keep comin' around
(Somehow it seems that all of our plans are dead where they stand
Somewhere there will be a place for the meek to grow tall and be seen)
So now I know apathy, 'cus it's been a friend to me
There's nowhere to go now but down
And I'm all out of compliments
Your heart's the contraband
I'll leave you with higher ground

Routine Movements
04:19
|
|||
We're all victims of bitterness
The age is plagued with discontent
And when we meet youth, we never wait
We're neither young nor innocent
We're not as lost as we pretend
Our conversations are a rush of air
We only breathe well half the time
Imagination's a leaking tap
Left to dry up like the Rhine
We can swim or we can die
God knows your head just isn't big enough for two
You get motion sick from chasing tails
God knows your television feeds right off of you
But it feels like nothing else is alive
It's all routine
Sometimes I feel you in my mind
You always look before you leap
That's why my eyes follow you
It's like you've found a place to be
A place to fall, a place to leap
Where all our movements aren’t routine

Sorrow
05:53
|
|||
Sorrow's a weight
I know that you've said the same
Our arms get weaker with aging
So lover, I know it never strikes only once
Because time teases all of us
You can't be the one if I am not for you
Heaven's around in a most unlikely place
If we run, we might miss it
So put on your shoes with the laces extra tight
Because we've got a world left to cover
You can't be the one
No, you can't be the one
Don't wait 'til tomorrow, let's turn this sorrow into steam
Because this time that we've borrowed, it amounts to more than what we need

Seeds (Bonus)
03:35
|
|||
Follow the wolves, give them your hand. Tell them to quit and get out while they can. But they won't; it's so much easier to die. Swallow the air that tickles your neck. Throw your head back and refuse to forget. That we all change before we know. And we all repent before we go. Borrow a map, get to the coast. The water is warm but it's deeper than most. And they're all diving to get clean. So you'll be a brighter human than me. 'Cus I'm here to bury what I can't grow. And you're here to water the seeds you've sewn
