Beat Goes
02:57

|
set out before her dawn
i wonder what she wears
you couldn’t last a thousand moons
heading out from over there
at 3am i’m still fucked up
on my damn solo guitar
i could have said i’d had enough
just before i fell apart
our beat goes, on
our beat goes slowed way down
that look i know too well
is it finally all for me
these beams they cast some light
i’m not sure we’re ready to see
at 3am we’re young again
talk of stars all through the night
we really knew a lot back then
we really knew a lot back then
oh we all want it oh
slowed way down
oh we oh want it oh
slowed way down

Boxing Match
04:32
|

|
when hits just keep on comin
i’m a boxer by design
but instead of throwing punches
i just make a deal with time
see it’s not hard to follow, follow
it’s not hard not to follow, follow
each breath is just like white space
on a page of poetry
even though i know they’re gone
they’re also right here next to me
see it’s not hard to follow, follow
it’s not hard not to follow, follow
it’s just the way that the
veil over our eyes lifts way too late
i wanna type up all these
hundred thousand pages about fate
when it seems like i’ll never ever, ever learn to wait
i’m back in the ring with some formidable foe
forcing me to stay
like r.e.m. i lost religion
i’m not a 1990’s show
these gyres turn without a reason
look at my arm they tell me so
and i’ll do it this once
i’ll walk towards myself to stay
no one can ever keep me down

Rescue
04:50
|
|||
|
this movie plays again oh
i don’t want to suspend my disbelief
cut these strings
rewind this tape i’m so tired of
that i can’t breathe
no one’s coming to rescue me
and me
i’ll set out on the open road
while the mile signs ribbon through
fuck both hands at ten and two
i’ll go slow
there’s no
destination that my soul go
where the rearview that helps me see
won’t show my eyes right back to me
i’ll drive after dark
this fear’s on loop again oh
it feels much older than these years i’ve lived
all these memories, nightmares, and false beliefs
stored in bodies
no one’s coming to rescue me

Walls
02:56
|
|||
|
I’m standing on the edge
I don’t know if I’ll make it back again
I’ll sing these songs and play along
and hope I’m somewhere near the end
the only way through is through
I let down my walls, they will too
just like in dreams
when all my patterns cycle right back again
and chasing shadows
as if concrete lit by moonlight never ends
the only way through is through
I let down my walls, they will too
Oh, I want to live today
to feel the way I let me in
when waking up is not enough
to take away the day ahead
I will control I
I will disown I
I’ll be alone I
I’ll forget my tone
I will deny I
I’ll feel like I could drown I
I’ll hold on too tight I

Starbombs
04:29
|
|||
|
link all the ways to say goodbye
then pass them on and forget why
there is not time to forget love
no not that kind you are enough
if this is hard to hear from me
come stand beneath this willow tree
do not forget you came from them
you are the seed the start is in
break all the rules they carved in you
the water’s fine be living proof
turn back the way you came from
no need at all to think it through
we’ll do what we damn want to
we take what we don’t want too
we’ll rise above the heads of saints
we’ll hear our children’s real complaints
we’ll do what we damn want to
all regards to fate
the price came too late
they set off all the starbombs
do not forget you came from there
you are the seed the start is in
turn back the way you came from
turn back the way you came from

Wild Things
04:09
|
|||
|
it’s not that i don’t want to
it’s just that i don’t understand
how you can turn and run to
the words i never should have said
it’s not to make you happy
but i’m happy if it does
remind you of a long song that could have
been more than my enough
don’t take me back
to the one you wanted
don’t take me back
sneaker waves won’t stay inside the sunshine
heroes are just right there by the storm
but me i’m out here in the daylight
cause i know who i am when i’m alone
it’s not that i don’t trust you
it’s that i’m feeling much more tame
you shouldn’t have to worry if i ever
show all my wild things
don’t take me back
to the one you wanted
don’t take me back

Shapeshifter
03:43
|

|
I'm wearing the color of your sexy little car
and flirting with my eyes too
charades in this shape don’t seem to get me very far
just wait until the next full moon
the world around me needs a shapeshifter
the world around me needs a shapeshifter
the world around me needs a shapeshifter
the world around me needs a shapeshift
you see i change my form up
right in line with the full moon
i won’t catch up with you anytime soon
done chasing after you as tides swell out to blue
i’ve done all i can for you
yippee yay yea
the world around me needs a shapeshifter
the world around me needs a shapeshifter
the world around me needs a shapeshifter
the world around me needs a shapeshift

Trains & Trolleys
03:48
|
|||
|
riding on an evening train
staring at the faint horizon
thinking about all past lives
that i’m not getting back
set it all off inside me
take it all my little trolley
just keep me on the ground
oh i’ve stayed much too long
following these tracks to guide me
but its these grand old pine whispers
that call me back
set it all off
just keep me on the ground
and no one’s waiting at the station
and no one’s crying on the phone
they’re not at home
when life is always on the run
there’ll never be the right conductor
no matter how many railroad ties we count
set it all off inside me
take it all my little trolley
just keep me on the ground

Ascension
06:14
|

|
oh i can’t afford the time
in their world
oh i can’t afford the time
oh it all feels like a lie
in their world
it all feels like a lie
no you can’t help me out
i’ll recover fine myself
i tell all these pretty stories
to rewrite the old ones
my questions don’t have answers yet
they’re out to all respondents
the darkness doesn’t scare my
but my ascension sure does
i am a better child now that i’m grown
these spirals are just leading me home
i am grown
oh it all is worth a try
in our world
oh it all is worth a try
oh it’s made of you and i
yeah i’m sure
oh it’s made of you and i
on our road we’re real slow
but we know where we’ll go
oh the ink will never dry
in my world
oh the ink will never dry
oh the dawn is healing time
in my world
oh the dawn is healing time
no you can’t pull me through
but my blood is tears from you

waiting for a star to fall
carry your heart into my arms
that’s where you belong
in my arms
baby yeah
trying to catch your heart
is like trying to catch a star
waiting for a star to fall
carry your heart into my arms
that’s where you belong
in my arms
baby yeah
