Senses will allow more than reason
Feel me in my weakest moment
And all your hazy looks touch on small reminders
What never starts will never end
Stay with me
I’m only asking
A simple word will give return
Tomorrow there’s no time
We are dead already
We are insects
Hand is only flesh
Underneath the bone is never bending
And in the time it takes to make our definitions
We just turn them upside down and leave a different meaning
Stay with me
I’m only asking
A simple world will give return
Tomorrow there’s no time
We are dead already
We are insects
Hold our heads under
The canopies are always waiting
Hold your tongue
Shut up
I’m tired of weighted words
Hold our heads under
You thought you were safe here
You were wrong

Held Over
02:59

She said I’ve got a habit of shaking it off too soon
Rounding up all the bottles to make this drunk last
In the twilight and your starry eyes they’re staring
In the twilight
Up in to a makeshift sky
And to wake up in a dream gets you thinking
Maybe nothing is what it seems when you’re held over
She said I’ve got a habit of making the day end
And these shoes get heavy
And it feels like dead weight
In the twilight
And your starry eyes they’re staring in the twilight
Up into a makeshift sky
And to wake up in a dream gets you thinking
Maybe nothing is what it seems when you’re held over
And empty bottles spread out on the floor
Still dizzy
Did you pay for it well
And glassy eyes
The two are not the same
While one is sleeping the other lays awake
And she said my mind is made up now
And she said nothing is what it seems
She said I’ve got a habit

Common Little Numbers
03:07

I wonder what it’s like to be you
Talking wasting everybody’s precious time
What was that face in the mirror saying
No I don’t remember
Words I speak are easy to forget
Slide on the common little numbers
Subtract to make a good impression
Slide on
Choke down the judgment you are never wrong
So busy looking outside ourselves
Lie back
It’s the only human way you have to answer
Lay back
It’s the only human way you have to answer
I wonder what it’s like to be dead
Acting in the only honest way we know
Those two minutes in the closet changed to years of being locked up
Now it’s time for breaking down the door
Climb out of mommy’s little pocket
Denial is your greatest weapon
Slide on and on
Lie back
It’s the only human way you have to answer
Lay back
It’s the only human way you have to answer

Sideways Looker

Moving around it
The issue of understanding
And everytime I try it feels like it’s never ending
It’s so hard to be alone with a hundred thousand people
And then you ask me how I feel today
Fire burns a hole outside
Smothered embers help create the disguise I’m wearing
It fits too well today
So long to my goodbyes
They never seem to make things right
I guess it’s easier to run away and stay away
Fire burns a hole inside not for the last time
Look to your left now
That’s pretty
See what you’re hiding away from
Grounded like the pieces you’re in
Take apart then rearrange
See how long to keep it going
See how long to keep divided
See what you’re hiding away from today
And it’s so long to my goodbyes
They never seem to make things right
I’ll make things right

Empty & Then Some
04:57

Tried to kill it
Put my hopes to bed
Somehow I found myself there, laying next to you instead
When understanding comes the moment’s gone
And in the headlight’s glare I’m frozen here upon this middle ground
Same lines
Make me another offer
You’ve heard them all before
I can’t understand you asking me to choose
Just a different face, a different day
I don’t need
But we can’t help it
The shade you bring to me
Funny how the static lingers on
On and on your image clings to everything
This time I think I’ll change my name
I touch turns into gold
Cause no one recognizes a stranger
My own is tarnishing
But it won’t help me, and while I lose my soul
Not worth a thing to me
Find that I can’t be myself with you
So hold the door closed
Let my ghost slip through
Cause in the midst of all these shadows
Room is empty
Same lines
Make me another offer
You’ve heard them all before
I can’t understand you asking me to choose
It’s just a different face, a different day
We lose
I don’t need
But we can’t help it and we can’t let them go
The shade you bring to me
Funny how we never let them go
It’s all the same
We speak the same lines
And all this anger turns to apathy
It’s next to nothing
At least not much to me
The words we yet to learn and all the pages in between
Each time the wound breaks open I think I’m better off alone
Silent footsteps coming up to bed
Change leftover or a love left said
You are nothing I’ve never been
Just leave me something
I’ll take anything at all
And all this anger leads to apathy
It’s next to nothing, at least not much to me
The words we’ve never learned and all the pages in between
Each time the wound breaks open I think I’m better off alone
I think I’m better off alone

Our Baby Outlaw
04:50
|

Sail on little outlaw
I see you’ve made your bed now
Is it feeling good to sleep alone again
Paving roads to just exclusion
This island is a best friend
And a rescue claims your secret hopes I bet
Words of advice they give you
Taken from mouths of stone
I wouldn’t sacrifice my energies on houses built by wrecking balls and glass
This partnership will never last us
The vultures circle in the sky
You will see they’ll be right here when you think you’re free
And rationale means nothing when it lets our hearts retreat
It doesn’t take a genius to understand what lying means
That’s all I’ll say now
I’m said and done
Any words of wisdom you’ve got to find out on your own
And you’re on your own now
Our baby outlaw
See how much you’ve grown
Our baby outlaw
Look how much you know
My baby outlaw
How fast can you run home
How fast can you run

The Leaving Kind
03:51
|

We were laughing
Mouths open wide
And as our breath fell out it seemed like I could choke inside
I can’t help myself at all if changing doesn’t play a part
The water rushes in and drowns me again
So it follows echoes and away
The sun will lead me closer to another day
Hell in mind
You are not the leaving kind
We were moving
Bodies open wide
And our connected parts left me tangled up inside
These waterways are useless when the tide is gone
I feel mine coming in
It’s coming in strong
So it follows echoes and away
The sun will lead me closer to another day
Hell in mind
You are not the leaving kind
Go on now
Go on don’t take me with you
So it follows echoes and away
The sun will lead me closer into another day
Hell in mind
We are all the leaving kind
