Never Here for Long
01:28
|
|||
|
Far from my middle
I got a little bit scared and knew
I might not be here for long
I slowed my pace
I saw the look on your face and knew
I’m never here for long

Ember
03:26
|
|||
|
I have the skills to lie to my therapist
So I pay the bill for what’s inside
I have the skills
To lie to the one I lay beside
I was five
I was barely alive
Too stubborn to even want to go outside
Twenty years later and it’s amplified
I could care less about my life
But you’ll miss the point
‘Cause I won’t check out now
And if the breaking point isn’t now
Then flip a coin forever
I was banking on a miracle Sunday
I was begging you for more time
But every wish that ever comes true
Will burn down to an ember in my mind
I have the skills to lie to my therapist
So I pay the bill for what’s inside
I have the skills
To lie to the one I lay beside
I’m a dive
At face-value I’m fine
The smell of burning rubber
Is from the top of my spine
And when I sing it seems amplified
That I could care less about my life
But you’ll miss the point
‘Cause I won’t check out now
And if the breaking point isn’t now
Then flip a coin forever
I was banking on a miracle Sunday
I was begging you for more time
But every wish that ever comes true
Will burn down to an ember in my mind
I became fixed on the idea of “someday”
I was flanking it from both sides
But every wish that ever comes true
Will burn down to an ember in my mind

Tangled String
02:32
|
|||
|
I awoke from the most grotesque dream
I was a bundle of tangled string
Pulling me up
I brought the worst with me
Sitting here as if days on end could go by
Taking too much
Giving too little
All caught up in this mysticism
Finding meaning in nothingness
Is only deep for a time
‘Till it starts reading like I’m wasting mine
|

Glimmer
04:07
|
|||
|
You watched me wander off
Into a dark forest
Through the window in your bedroom
It’s a bit too scary in there for you
I know, it is for me too
If I found a middle
Baby, we’d be safe
But I’m too busy
Trying to make my way out of here
I remember that glimmer from the scene
When I could tell
You knew you could love me
Forever, for better or for worse
Starry night
Which one’s mine?
I couldn’t care less
Turn out the light
This wavering, tapering grace
Is all I chalk myself up to now

I Fall
03:46
|
|||
|
When you called me down
I came, but only to hover over you
I said I’d never step
On the same soil as the rest
And like a ghost does
I haunt your every move
You always rounded that corner tight
But now you’ve got a different route
Well so do I
Detonating my life
Switching masks for every situation
Self-awareness such a gross exaggeration now
I fall
I fall directly into the grave
When you calmed me down
I just slouched my back
Went out for a while
And hung my raincoat on the rack
When I walk through walls
Nobody even stares
‘Cause I’m unseen
Yeah, but that was the prayer
I fall
I fall directly into the grave

Flickering
02:41
|
|||
|
I woke up on a day like any other
But a star had moved out of the sky
So I flashed back to every moment in the past
I could have changed to save his life
I woke up to a call from my mother
As she spoke I could hear her cry
She begged me to call her any time
Even if it meant goodbye
In every way now
There’s pain that can’t be seen
Hidden deep down
Your brain’s flickering gleam
No one ever sees this coming
But I saw the sufferance for years
Now I can hear him ringing in my ears
I can hear him so clearly
In every way now
There’s pain that can’t be seen
Hidden deep down
Your brain’s flickering gleam
Sometimes a deer makes you swerve into traffic
Sometimes the world sucks away all the magic
You were beautiful
You were loved
I miss you
I can hear you so clearly
And every day now
There’s pain that can’t be seen
Hidden deep down now
Your brain’s flickering gleam

Brightness
04:30
|
|||
|
My shadow burns hotter into the frame
Than the body it shapes
Brightness does fall off
But you knew her song
You found a way to keep it close enough
I crystallize this heart, this soul
In a way that’s typical
I build the waves to play in, drown in
I dig my holes
I never even got close to home:
The lighthouse, the pull, the plan in full
Brightness does fall off
But you knew her song
You found a way to keep it close enough
And like this mental fog
Of rain that fell so long
I’ll find a way to stay above the surface, love
When I walked you home
Dreamt I’d rather be alone
And before I knew it
I was sinking deeper into my side of the bed

Damage as Art
02:03
|
|||
|
Will you just bleed inside
Or will you try to suck life?
It’s a question you’ll have to answer in time
So just change your ways
And do it for love
I gave up a piece of my heart
So don’t push it away
But I thought only damage was art
So I don’t blame you for turning away
I take up too much space to be fed

Frame to Frame
03:48
|
|||
|
Wanting something more
I’m headed for the door, of course
To fight a new war
While reading some horoscope
That commits me to never getting better
I’m watching this weather move just like me
Where can I go, really?
If I wouldn’t even know when I’m there
This ain’t frame to frame
There’s no dissolve
And this?
Just the fake-out I’ve always been
Shoot you the thumbs up
I’m okay to just devolve
The mileage on my car
Rising but falling far
From what I thought that it would be
As if these movements are defining
No, they lead me astray
I’m kicking up all of the dust that’s necessary
To keep me fettered
Endeavoured
I’m watching this weather move just like me
Where can I go, really?
If I wouldn’t even know when I’m there
This ain’t frame to frame
There’s no dissolve
And this?
Just the fake-out I’ve always been
Shoot you the thumbs up
I’m okay to just devolve

Why You Chose to Leave
01:37
|
|||
|
Were you hedging your bets
‘Cause you wished things were
Like they were before?
Will you find safety in someone
Who doesn’t need to be saved anymore?
I’m scared I’ll watch it from congested clouds
And never come down
Will anyone doubt why you chose to leave?

Ashes
04:08
|
|||
|
Go ahead, take down my name and my number
Like they’re the only things left to identify me now
Along with this flesh and blood;
Enough to pull me under
No science to tell me why or how
Ashes at my door
Evermore
It’s crazy how every good thing feels like some reprieve
So now I’ll sing that I don’t deserve this punishment today
This cold doesn’t seem so unfamiliar
I’m used to feeling it year-round
I’ve been having trouble even stepping forward
Like I’m not even here on the ground
I was a droplet when the rain poured hard
The one with a target who fell so far
If there are drains to fill
I’ll be an offering
If there’s a cross to bear
I’m always game
