300 years in the forest
Found the solution to life
Growing from roots when you cut me
I can survive like the hydra
Walk through my eyes for your weakened bones
Then you can leave me alone
I can survive like the hydra
I can survive like the hydra
Now you can leave me alone

Sleep Hygiene
02:43
|

Now I’m on that hill
Field before me and woods around
Just a hop skip from my house
In the heart of the ville
Why do I only see you in my sleep
During the summer we went there often
Rode our bikes over to the train tracks
Setting sticks on the rails
then rushing back again
Why do I only hear you in my sleep
Do you still only wave at the red cars
Did your dad find the ax you took
We’d never seen him so shook
Why do I only see you in my sleep

Are We Breathing?
04:47
|

Underwater
Building pressure
Say it louder
We're alive
Underwater
We're alive
Underwater
Swirling laughter
Say it louder
We're alive
Fixed
In place
The atmosphere's too thin
To carry sound
I doubt you'll make it
You'll end up like the rest
Will
The beacon
Guide us to a life
Where
The pulse of
Spring will overtake the cold:
Our
Stifled
Ripple breaks the seam
A smothered flame
Grind down the faces
Scrape their metal frames
Form
A vision
Unrestrained and wild and
Drink
Forever
Until we can breathe again

Language Fails
03:14
|
|||
Words slip from my mouth
Sad, fanged and fragile
They beat against you like
Glass bottles on brick walls
Shining fragments too fine to draw blood
Language fails me now
It always does in times like these
wish I could unsay everything
Suck the words back in
Mash them between my teeth
Mash them Until they can no longer be recognized
Language fails me now
It always does in times like these
wish I could unsay everything
But the words hang in the air
Like unwelcome guests
Unwelcome guests in an unhappy home
Language fails me now
It always does in times like these
wish I could unsay everything

Burning a Locket
03:16
|
|||
We’ll never know what
Became of them
Scattered and blown away
Never seen again
We’ll never know what
To say to them
It’s over and done with
Best just to forget
I found something you wrote
In a box today
Scribbled on some old junk mail
Ready to be thrown away
I don’t know why
I ever needed it
But now it feels like
Burning a locket

Encapsulate
03:36
|
|||
Encapsulate the stains,
But don’t lift them up
Don’t lift them out
Bury them in the ground
Preserved
In memory
They stood
By me
Preserved
In memory
They heard
A quiet scream
Encapsulate the stains
But don’t lift them up
Don’t lift them out
Bury them deep down
Under the earth
To Walk all over them
Eliminate the rain
And leave them in a desert
Leave them in a desert
Preserved
In memory
They stood
By me
Preserved
In memory
They heard
A quiet scream
Encapsulate, encapsulate
Encapsulate the stains
Retread the tires with ash
Smudging the remains
Across the pavement
To walk all over them
Dissemble the skeletons
Dissemble the skeletons

Praying for Sand
04:43
|
|||
Emotions running high, we lift our hands to the sky
Pray for peace, pray for sand in this war torn land
You disrespect my special day
The universe will make you
The universe will make you pay
Emotions running high, we lift our hands to the sky
Pray for the rocks and the sand of this war torn land
It’s the day that you will take my hand
Apart now, but soon we’ll be together forever
You disrespect my special day
The universe will make you
The universe will make you pay

Valley of the Whales
03:04
|
|||
The whale song calls me down
Down down down
Down into the deepest depths
Down down down
Down to the bottom of the ocean
I can’t remember the last time I took a breath
(I’ve never been so deep)
I’m amazed that the sun rays have stretched
Down down down
Down into the deepest depths
(The deepest depths)
A siren call that compliments
The rapid thumping of my heart
Bass and treble merging
My pulse is submerged
A barely audible throbbing
It falls in line with the song you are singing
It leads me deeper still
So much deeper into you
The words I whispered to you
I now want to scream
Knowing that if I let out my breath
At this depth
It will be my death

I Can Live Anywhere
03:21
|
|||
In the back of a closet or
In the depths of a pocket
Tucked right inside of a locket under the photo
In an electrical socket
Tied up to a bottle rocket
I can live there really
I can live anywhere
under your fingernails or
Inside of a barrel of ale
Clinging to hair from a lion tail
The coldest of basements
Or in the boldest of statements
I can live there really
I can live anywhere
In an alternate universe I’m a sizable tree with its
Roots firmly woven throughout the ground
Instead I’m more like one of its leaves thats been long disconnected
Broken and brittle and free flowing everywhere
So I can live anywhere
I have no home
No home
Never felt home

Aged Infinity
03:43
|
|||
In my dreams
In my dreams
The table is set but we don’t sit
The bed is messed but we don’t make it
In my dreams’ dream
In my dreams’ dream
Met you more times than I can remember
Each one in a different role
From January on to December
In all the homes that are not my own
In my dreams though
In my dreams, oh-oh
I can’t find the moon
I can’t find the moon
I’ve traveled through so many lives
And it’s aged me infinity times
In my dreams’ dream
In my dreams’ dream
Shedding parts along the way
Every seven years I disappear
Arranging my face with different shapes
Allowing the wax to melt and smear
In my dreams though
In my dreams, oh-oh
I can’t find the moon
I can’t find the moon
The stars have left no map to heaven

My Ocean of Thoughts
03:35
|
|||
You can come take a swim in my ocean of thoughts
At your own risk
Though the water seems calm there are threats that exist
Closer look at the surface
Trash is carried by the waves
All so carelessly dispersed
It's not worth it to save
You can come take a swim in my ocean of thoughts
If you wish
Though the water looks calm there are threats that exist
At the drop of a hat you might see darker clouds start to form
No more comfortable sun, no more comfortable wind
Here comes a storm
Closer look at the surface
Trash is carried by the waves
All so carelessly dispersed
It's not worth it to save
The deeper that you go
The more desolate it gets
No grotesque looking creatures
No signs of life at all
Just stay close to the shore

Stay Awhile
04:40
|
|||
Let’s take a seat hear
We need a moment to rest our legs
It’s just another
Fleeting summer
I scratch the price tag off
An empty can of iced tea
Enough distractions
I can’t help but ask this
Why don't you stay awhile?
Goodbye can wait until tomorrow
Why don't you stay awhile?
Goodbye can wait until tomorrow
The sun could set in your open palms
A fragile orb, exposed and worn
We watched it shimmer
Until it flickered
But do you really have to go?
There’s no one laughing anymore
I know I’ve asked this
But I have to chance it
Why don't you stay awhile?
Goodbye can wait until tomorrow
Why don't you stay awhile?
Goodbye can wait until tomorrow
