I just don’t know
What you want from me
You touched me but now I can’t see
Something makes me feel like we’re on the same page but
I have my doubts
I don’t want to kill you fearfully
You know me, I
Overthink everything
You did nothing but I still want to see
Drowning in the depths of my--
Surrounded by the feelings include
But in my thoughts I collapse with tape over my mouth
Attached to annoying spirits
I clasp onto its claws in hope that
You’d see me in different lights letting me down
When will you see?
Spiraling in circles around the--
Rising tides swallowing me down
Is there something you silence me from?
An ache or desire?
Maybe? You silence me from you.
I can picture you with me
Je peux nous voir dans un polaroïd
I just don’t know how or what
I know that you’re there

Nothing There
03:53
|

|
Heaven’s hugs are left with voids
Of emptiness of full rejoice
Of “Do Not Enter” signs
Just come and swap them out
Like musical chairs and parts of cars.
But little did you know
That I can’t touch you there.
You’re nothing there, nothing there.
You just can’t change what’s going down.
Your arms will not save me now:
They are just as empty as my soul
And our static loving chase.
You’re nothing there, nothing there.
There’s no use planting a seed that won’t grow.

Me and Darcy's

talk down
talk to me
do you know
do you know
do you hear my mind explode?
slow down
time it flows
make amends
in the end
look to see how far we’ve come
growing up to be for you
change my mind
(change my mind)
fading out
we pretend
(in the end)
we pretend, apprehend
go now
stars are out
stairs and roads
not alone
memories of talent shows
growing up to be for you
change my mind
(change my mind)
fading out
we pretend
(in the end)
we pretend, apprehend

The Kill
03:28
|

|
I’m a rag doll in the breeze
The voices invading my fall
For treason can be such a fine gift
For any man can withdraw from the swiftness of disease
As I reach out to man as an amputee
Give him some water and bread
And watch him throw it out to sea
And he snarks at me like a shark
Meeting the darkest depths of greed
And I just stand there watching him
Infiltrate with greed
'Cause I am, and was supposed to be
The kill, the krill, the rotten algae
Another fire again at grand central
Another man scorched for his lover
Another man forbidden refuge
Another shot at his temple
A sword strikes me into a sewer
And the walls collapse in and pop the tick
And as I fall with a pomegranate in hand
I tell my family that I never loved them
I tell my family that I never loved them
Another drop of blue in the sunset
Another green one a red one and a yellow one too
Birds flying lower in the sky
Another man taking his own life
'Cause I am, and was supposed to be
The kill, the krill, the rotten algae

Turtles
03:06

I watch the water
Freeze solid from your soul
You stand away from me, tall
Scared to face the splash of the waterfall
I look through the cover and I see
A beautiful world of color
And us floating off on sailboats with
Turtles and sharks flocking near the edge
Dancing round, dancing round I’ve found
You test the water
Freezing solid from your soul
And I stand skeptically, tall
Scared to face the splash of the waterfall
And I look through the cover and I see
A terrible world of spider, dust,
And us drowning off in quicksand with
Turtles and sharks flocking near the edge
Dancing round, dancing round, dancing round I’ve found

Belong
03:41
|

I want to hold your hand in mine
I want to hear your breath hitch as our fingers intertwine
I want to feel my heartbeat pulsing in my ear
And I want to know there's nowhere else you’d rather be but here
And I know it may take some time
Trust won't come easily
Try to build bridges and read through the lines
But when it does, I'll show you all of me
And we can lie under the stars
With your head on my arm
As the world flies by
Where nothing moves fast
And we revise the past
And I'm right where I belong
I want to stay up late just talking to you
The only witness of our conversations is the moon
And threatening to break us apart is the morning sun
We're two minds and two souls connecting, joining into one
And I know it may take some time
Trust won't come easily
Try to build bridges and read through the lines
But when it does, I'll throw myself in wholeheartedly
And we can lie under the stars
With your head on my arm
As the world flies by
Where nothing moves fast
And we revise the past
And I'm right where I belong

Take It Slow
03:44

Welcome to high school, life should be good
Supposed to be nice, but not quite understood
But with all the requirements, the stressful environment
Working harder than a kid ever should
No one gets that the lights up in our heads
Get brighter every time when they can get some rest
I'm working overtime on a job's full time
And I ain't even got one yet, but
No need to go so fast
Fast as you can go
So let's just take, take it back
Just take it slow
Take it slow, slow, slow, slow
I wanna know my boundaries and I haven't found them yet
But, if I do, I'm not the kind of person to admit it
Wanna know what I'm doing, plan it out
Every moment, every hour, every second, and well, every single minute
The problem is, my art suffers for me
Got a reversed curse that hurts many
I want a cure, I need that remedy
Got no time but I'll just keep telling me
No need to go so fast
Fast as you can go
So let's just take, take it back
Just take it slow
Take it slow, slow, slow, slow
I can't see myself after I'm 18
And honestly that really scares me
‘Cuz in my stomach I get that feel
And I don't think it's real
But it always comes back to bite me
There's no sadder sound than applause dying down
As the crowd starts to leave
So just stay at that height on that stage, in the light on that stage
And just breathe
No need to go so fast
Fast as you can go
So let's just take, take it back
Just take it slow
Take it slow, slow, slow, slow

The Loop

remember the night with the satellite when you were holding my hand in the dark
the sunset at nine it was beautiful and there was nobody i didn’t like
and one day you’ll own that house on the beach and i’ll know just where to find you
‘cause you’ve always known just how to fall down in the grass and revel in respite
so hold tight, i feel it too
they never know what we will do
hold tight, let go of the blue
we live outside of the loop
i told you that it was my favorite weather so we went outside in the rain
rooftop occasions and secondhand stores, you taught me it’s okay to change
and one day you’ll sell that house on the beach and you’ll move to colorado
‘cause you’ve always known just how to fall down in the grass and revel in respite
so hold tight, i feel it too
they never know what we will do
hold tight, let go of the blue
we live outside of the loop
hold tight, let go of the blue
we live outside of the loop

Cry
04:11
|

|
I’m falling without you in my life
Without your touch, your hand,
Without you
Because every living thing has a need for belonging
Every song or speech to sing
But everything is a sin
So why don’t you cry
Everything I touch
Everything I see makes me think of you
While you are floating out to sea
Progress, progress is a hard thing to adjust
Because every little thing is meant to bust
So why don’t you cry (cry away)
(Cry everything and anything keeping you away from me)
So why don’t you cry (cry away)
(Cry everything and anything keeping you away from me)
Cry (cry away)
(Cry everything and anything keeping you away from me)
