White hot light pierces the summer night
Sparks fly down streaking the cloudless sky
Wind moving in waves through reeds and grass
Your legs tangling up with mine

White Hot Light
03:53
|
|||
White hot light pierces through
Black cold night
Snow falling down from cloudless sky
Wind moving in waves through
Reeds and grass
Legs tangling and failing I
Hear the call of hunters
In their blinds
But you are silent, wait your reply
There’s safety in the rows of trees
Shade and sleep among the leaves
I follow your prints, your scent, your sign
But all I find is places we once lied
Shots ring closer in my ears
Speeding for my farthest fears
I fall away listening for echoes of you
Hey (hey)
White hot light seeps into my insides
Leaves me frozen, I don’t mind
Waiting, silent, hopeful you’ll come through
Before the white hot brightness leaves me blind
There’s safety in the rows of trees
Shade and sleep among the leaves
I follow your prints, your scent, your sign
But all I find is places we once lied
Shots ring closer in my ears
Speeding for my farthest fears
I fall away listening for echoes of you
Hey (hey)
How did I
Come to find
Your skin on mine
In good time
You should know
Do you know
How did I (how did)
Come to find (I find)
Your skin on mine (your skin)
In good time (in time)
You should know (you know)
Do you know (do you know)
How did I (how did)
Come to find (I find)
Your skin on mine (your skin)
In good time (in time)

How did I (how did)
Come to find (I find)
Your skin on mine (your skin)
In good time (in time)

Come to find (I find)
Your skin on mine (your skin)

Good Morning
03:27
|

Good morning
I can feel your weight upon my chest
Not to say I’m complaining
you know
I didn’t expect something like this
It feels like everything’s happening so fast
So slow
Do I move before the sky
Is lit like a taper between us
It’s golden
When the spell breaks I strike a match
I burn it down to my fingers
So slow
Do we move across the stars
I’ll wave as the twilight lingers on and on and on...
Have you fallen into the ocean?
Has the winter caught your breath?
I can feel your heartbeat quicken
At the sight, at the sound of it.
Good night
I fall face down upon the bed
Thanks for taking my shoes off
Cuz the bees
Couldn’t buzz as good as me
I still prefer their honey, honey
Have you fallen into the ocean?
Has the winter caught your breath?
I can feel your heartbeat quicken
At the sight, at the sound of it
And they’ll watch as you walk on water
Skipping stones down at your feet
All the parts of the different stories
Syncopate inside your chest

Split
04:22
|
|||
I’ve fallen prey to a magic
A magic I can’t find
In any of the books
I know of
Have you ever seen that moment
The time where we belong
Or will you hide behind
All the words that have gone before
I fear I’ll take it too far now
Still I breathe it in
I breathe it in like sin
Until my mind is numb
And all the faults I have inside me
Are cracks in my own ceiling
I bite into the gold
Until I taste it in my veins
And I may have my doubts
Show me what this means
We are not at fault
(For the things that can’t be seen)
Measure your words well
Nothing’s as it seems
Only time can tell
(What is real and what is dreams)
My memory starts to burn brighter
The torch I keep inside
Scores another line
The record grows
Will you ever find your kingdom
The place you come alive
Or will you hide behind
All the flames that have burned before
I fear I’ll take it too far now (love)
Still I breathe it in
I breathe it in like ...

Games
03:11
|
|||
The sun’s going down for the night but I still see your game from right here
You wanna pass the time and you need a new volunteer
No sudden movements, your disposition is blurry at best
You wanna try me out, you’re looking to put me to the test
One thing with seeing straight is the blast that comes at you sideways
You weren’t unexpected then, but now my head’s caught up in a haze
Come up for air a sec, I know it makes you so high
But you need to know when I’m sober I’m really not that kind of guy
Take one step back
Let it catch up to you
I think you thought
That you already knew
But what could be wrong
No one to answer to
Just make up your mind, now’s the time cause you
You cannot redo
Now you’ve got everything you ever needed to be set free
What you don’t know is that you’ll never be called good company
Spend too much time in the dark and your eyes will adjust to the gray
You know that it’s not too late, you could still get up and walk away
Yeah I been here, I been here before
I been knocking down your kitchen door
Waiting for you to take me seriously
You been taking your time I know
But it don’t matter now cuz
It’s all a game
Baby I want you far from me but
Don’t think I’ll go quietly, cuz
I’m not the same
I strum every single chord
And it’s all sounding old, cuz (like it's the last I'll play)
I know the game.

Persuasion
03:15
|
|||
I had a dream that you were gone
But then you came back to me
And all the time you were away
Kept moving slowly, slowly
We didn’t kiss, but your lips
Touched mine softly, softly
I think my heart stopped when the cold air
Hit my skin
Did you say something to me
Or was it my conscience speaking
Out of control
I hear your breathing, breathing
Nothing but blurs out my window
But we’re still reeling
Pull over, pull over
Before we crash
I had a dream that you were gone
Won’t you come back to me
I had a dream that you were gone
Won’t you come back to me
I had a dream that you were gone
(Oh, you’re gone)
Won’t you come back to me
I think that my heart stopped
(You know I can’t live without)
Won’t you come back to me
(Come back, come back, come back)
I had a dream that you were gone
Won’t you come back to me
(Come back, come back, come back)
I had a dream that you were gone
Would I give it all away
If I told you I wanted you to stay
I know it’s time to leave
But I can’t find the way
And there is nothing here
Yet on and on I’ll stay
I’ll stay

Some Nights
03:48
|
|||
Some nights when I can’t sleep
I take a walk down to the park
I hear the din of bugs and cars
See the shadows long and deep.
Some nights
Some nights
There’s a man I sometimes see
Walks his dog without a leash.
And his pipe glowing coals,
Bluish smoke trailing behind
Some nights
Some nights
Some nights
Some nights
Insomnia says go fill your mind
My mind says I’m full, please empty me
(Some nights) all I can do is lay in bed thinking of you,
all the you’s and all the me’s that we could be
Some nights
Some nights
Some nights
Some nights

Paths
05:15
|
|||
I don't have much
To tell you I can't say
Why but you know
I'm out here with my hands
Cold at my sides
Waiting for a chance
To read your mind
And take you by surprise
Ttake down the fence
You kept for all those years
Unhinge the door
And let me through, the path
Is overgrown
But soft under my feet
And leads to you
That's right where I fit best…
Put me to the test...
Do we all, in time,
Find our place in line?
You go first, that’s fine,
I will be right behind
But we're just making our own way,
and just making shit up.
I don't have much to say now that it's all
been said again I wrote it on my hands so
I won't forget your face your teeth had met
Their strangest friend, did it take you by surprise...
Do we all sometimes, find a way to climb?
You go first that's fine, I will be right behind you
I will climb inside your head
if you can make it all up.
I will climb inside your bed
If you make it all up

Beg
03:21
|
|||
I could see it all before we saw the first signs of it
But you saw it too
Can’t go back to then even if we wanted to
(You said) "don’t worry it’s fine we’ll be all right"
The water’s rising and it’s all that I can bear tonight
We’ll be all right, we’ll be all right
Back and forth between the screens, the silence and the little things
We come back into view
Now we’re staring at the scene of what we’ve turned into
(You said) “Don’t make this into a bigger thing”
The water’s burning and the whiskey’s all that I can drink
I’ll take my time, I’ll take my time
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t
Don’t make me beg
Don’t make me beg

Trick of Light
03:27
|
|||
I can’t let you in, don’t you know you’re the problem?
I gave it some thought, took some time, shed some light
And you’re right outside, but I know I can’t see you tonight.
And you’re gonna say it’s my fault, I can feel it
My armor is on and my walls are raised high,
So keep walking on and I’ll see you tomorrow, alright?
And where were you when I called for you?
Thought I saw your ghost,
But it could have been a trick of light.
Cuz I’m still aware of every chemical we buried
(But it’s gonna be alright).
You can’t let your instincts have sway, they’ll take over,
And I have my reasons for letting them through
I can’t let you see all the lies I’ve been keeping from you, but you keep them too
And one day I’ll see you on the street
And I’ll look into the eyes
That I used to have memorized
And you’ll look at me and I won’t know what you’re thinking,
Though I used to read your mind.

Believe
04:53
|
|||
I’ve heard it every other day
Tell it to me in another way
Blessedness is just a screen away
Take your picture, open up the door
But now my curtain’s thrown open wide
Can I enjoy this from my own side?
Or will you always now cloud my eyes?
Like I wear my sunglasses at night
All the signs say please just let it be
Translated now, no trespassing
But all the commentary’s otherwise
Hey let’s try it, try it on for size
I believe it, I believe it all
Anchors in the pictures on the wall
I believe it till they call my name
Judges of the imitation game
Don’t believe it, don’t believe it all
Neurons firing all electrical
As the lies that fly across the stage
Echo back and forth until they fade
Another smile discovered in the glow
Another face that I’ll never know
But right across from me, a pulse
Beating faster cuz I’m not at home
Another moment filtered, cropped, and saved
Fill a feed I only taste
Overflowing empty bits and waves
I just scroll down another page
I know, you know
But it doesn’t really help
Cuz it feeds, it feeds
a primal part of me
I know you don’t
See me the individual
The clicks at stake (the bait)
My data collectable
I know, no, I don’t
What’s wrong with it anyway?
I’m here, I’m now
At least I think so anyhow
White teeth, white hair
Chambre, green chair,
My toes, the clouds,
My baby’s first words
I believe it at least so much
I believe as much as I can touch
And my friends across state lines
It’s like I never really left their side
I look back three years ago
A memory that we once had known
I miss you now more than I ever have
I numb out and scroll down

You Can
03:27
|
|||
Am I destined to be terrible
Am I just blind to what is good
Jumping back and forth from branch to breaking branch
Wings aren’t working like they should
Maybe some ocean air is what I need
To clear the oil spots from my mind
Words and phrases start to channel in
Pull me under just in time
You can handle anything
You can handle anything
What other lies you got for me
Grab onto my hand, hold tight, don’t let me drown
Keep me just above the waves
Every time I think I’m gaining ground
The current carries me away
You can handle anything
You can handle anything
What other lies you got for me
Let go of me like the heart lets go
Of its long lost love when all hope is gone
Let go of me like the sky lets go
Of the rain when its weight becomes too strong
