Arms Length

standing on two feet building walls between you and i is harder than i thought. hold you up to me and tell you how i feel. i let you down when i said i'd hold you up. but i said right from the start. we're just an arms length apart. i mean this when i say to you. that my lungs they breathe and my heart it beats blood into my arms. just enough to reach. you shake me like a thunderstorm. you pull me like a fire alarm. you put me down when you said you'd pick me. i take you with a grain of salt. but you're water so it just dissolves. i should have known by the way you walk and talk and function. but i said right from the start. we're just an arms length apart. i mean this when i say to you. that my lungs they breathe and my heart it beats blood into my arms. just enough to reach

i couldn't wait to tell you. just what i found down your block in rubber city. your light is oh so pretty. it's too late to move back to a frozen state of mind. i couldn't wait to tell you how. we could burn down this town. turn around and put your pictures in a box and label it love. grab a matchbook from your pocket baby. it's too late to move back to a frozen state of mind. pour gasoline. and light a matchbook. light a matchbook

Ghost
04:18
|

they were here waiting on the sun to set and the moon to come. to show them in a constellation why they were living. you don't care where you are at night. you only care where you are when you die. you only know what some others told you. i'm here feeling like a ghost. walking around with my hands in the air. but i don't scare you. you put me in place. but you don't know where your place is. and you try. i'm a lot like you when you were young. pulled my teeth so i couldn't bite my tongue. you held your breath and i held mine under water. you're here looking like a ghost. walking around with your hands in the air but you don't scare me. i put you in a place. oh god that look on your face is worth a thousand words. i'm a lot like you when you were young. pulled my teeth so i couldn't bite my tongue. you held your breath and i held mine under water. you wanted time but i took it. you wanted light but i took that too

goodnight son. she said don't take advantage of the ones you thought you knew you loved. my mother once said son don't hang your weary head. just stand up strong and sing along. goodnight son. she said don't stray to far from your heart or you'll fall apart. i try not to forget it. don't hang your head when your back's against the wall. don't run. don't walk. i don't know what happened. i'm talking to myself. i try not to forget it. but i just keep on forgetting. i try not to forget it. don't hang your head when your back's against the wall. don't run. don't walk

Heart / Brain
03:33
|

i came to your bed just to see and pretend to be your friend. your heart still remains more content than your brain that you'll see light soon. i want you to let go of my hand when you feel it pull. cause you're wasting time. you're wasting mine. open your mouth. so i can crawl in your mouth. til the words come out. i watched as the light left your eyes. it was a combination of laughter and cries. you wasted life. you wasted mine. open your mouth. so i can crawl in your mouth. til the words come out. stuck on your tongue. were the words you once sung to here. heart over brain. follow the tracks that lead back to your house. count all the ties and the times. open your mouth. so i can crawl in your mouth. til the words come out. stuck on your tongue. were the words you once sung to here. heart over brain

Deep Blue

turn on the light. and hold the letter that i wrote up to your face. do you understand. you never understand. we're only second guessing how we feel. hold on to me now. turn off the light. let your eyes adjust to the dark. do you understand. you never understand that. we're only second second guessing how we feel. hold on to me now. don't let me float away into the blue. i'm treading water. hold me up. don't let me down to the bottom of the deep. where the silver eyes decide who they're gonna eat or gonna leave. blown out to sea. living on the breeze. i don't know too much. i never knew enough. we're only second guessing how we feel. hold on to me now. don't let me float away into the blue. i'm treading water. hold me up. don't let me down to the bottom of the deep. where the silver eyes decide who they're gonna eat or gonna leave. i'm sicking still. in the cold dark deep blue. i'm treading water. hold me up. don't let me down to the bottom of the deep. where the silver eyes decide who they're gonna eat or gonna leave

Pining
03:01
|

pining for you, are you pining for me. lost in the dark, no light to see. i wait here for you did you wait there for me. i pulled all the bark clean off the tree. searching for something you thought i could be. a leaf on the ground, a knot on the tree. i waited there patiently hoping to see the light of your eyes. when you finally find me. but i'm not holding my breath for you

Lungs
06:16
|

i've been holding my breath since you walked in. my lungs were burning with air then they caved in. to my chest bony ribs i confess. i'm a martyr for you. with my hands i will construct you. with my might i will protect you. i'll build the walls. i'll lay the floors and hang the doors. i will call you home. in your life you will forget me. in your mind you will omit me. to be the one. i'll do what i can just to hold your hand. i will be your man. i will lay you down. and cauterize your wounds. cauterize. you caught my eye. in due time. we will create a light. to shine on. through the coldest winter nights. when darkness comes. from shade to dark. you'll flip the spark til embers glow. in our eyes. we will reflect the light. with our legs we'll walk til we lose all sight. when morning comes. from dark to bright we'll gain our sight and move along. i will lay you down. and cauterize your wounds. cauterize. you caught my eye. hold my breath and fill my lungs. til the blood rushes back to my hands and toes
