sunlight
04:09
|

|
wake up late
in the night
follow bright
blinking lights
fall asleep outside
underneath a red sky
fade your smile
if you change your mind
you build your bridge
then burn it
hesitate
pull away
i've been wasting
in this state
dive into myths of you
summers drowned in pale blue
if i knew
what they'd done to you
there is no time
just sunlight

graveyards & lost dogs
02:53
|
|||
|
there's nowhere for you now
we're just passing down there
graveyards & lost dogs
i think i can help you
but i've been wrong
broken houses, two dead deer
passing through a field
& i see you, i see bloom
there's a place we're running to
where there are bright lights
getting dim
where do you begin
there's no home for you now
i just drive you around
burnt barns, and empty lawns
and there's no other
the moon will sink, just to rise again

pull
03:26
|
|||
|
on the phone
something wrong
no one knows
calm down, calm down
in between
land and sea
pull me through
into you
slept till noon
missing you
slept till two
in the afternoon

on the lake
burning sage
and you're a lantern
you are held by the night
in the daylight
i leave without saying goodbye
you withdrew and i knew
there's nothing here for you
how do i
live this life
always hiding
in the back of my mind
there's no spirit
i know there's no nightmare
we hold onto our cares
till they they outweigh us
|

still life
02:45
|
|||
|
you forgot where you where
on the porch of the old house
are you losing time?
it feels like a still life
i came back there all alone
every place we used to go
conjured hymns reaching inside
there is nothing left to find
i came back but it's all gone
it's a very, very, temporary thought
we just keep on living
hoping we don't forget it

sunset twice
02:08
|
|||
|
i watched the sun set twice today
the eclipse hangs a beam
my dog just wants to hide
he knows this thing is powerful
and in that light
sunset and sunrise
it looks like when you're dreaming
looks like when you're dreaming
i'll be out here in the dark until you show yourself
there's a kind of silence that just cannot be helped
and it's alright
what is yours is mine
i've wanted this forever now
i want it for forever
|

coming down
03:44
|
|||
|
would you pull me aside
look into my eyes, an empty light
chasing alternate states
where it's always the same and that's alright
they don't love you there
they breathe nothing
coming down
feeling stuck and your friends
want it all to make sense
but that won't last
we roll over again
till we're burning loose ends
and we know that
i can't sleep
when i can't see
the moon above me
i can't sleep
not when
i just think about it
all of the time
all of the time
and i don't know
i don't know

crystal lake
02:35
|
|||
|
wait, feel it as it goes away
still, dont you notice anything
lie, lie beneath the lake
my hands will start to shake
vision will decay
holding on to the wrong things
i was doing fine before you came
|
||||
10. |
before the sun
02:46
|
|||
|
sunlight
sticks in your eyes
in the silence
of the empty house
stillness
it will consume this
all of the days we spent
fighting our consciences
tell me
how bad does it hurt?
it surrounds me
everything at once
everything that was
standing
(...this is the past, this is the present, and this is the future...)
in your front yard
trying to recognize what's lost
apathy
cradles you gently
when the morning comes
i'll be gone before the sun
|

stye sky
02:46
|
|||
|
stye sky
and a morning rise
there's nothing left in the quiet
i constructed a map of the islands
that we crossed
to grab
hold of our
stye sky in your headsick
bruises on yr skin
peel the pages off the limbs
stye sky
|
||||
12. |
||||
|
tired in the morning
spinning, light is distorted
am i what you want
am i enough
fires in the daylight
open eyes
drifting over the sky
and i'll be home
so soon
don't go
follow me out into
days of confusion
sinking into yourself
losing composure
|
||||
13. |
empty palms
04:20
|
|||
|
time wears you down
there is nothing left
hold both my hands
read my empty palms
all at once
i can feel it all
flickers till its gone
no replacing
what has been lost
in another life
i am with you
its a sacrifice
and i miss you
