Sunlight Slowly Go

I went around the lake to watch the sunlight slowly go
I went around the world to watch the darker seasons grow
Of all these dogged paths and ways around, I do not know
I went around the lake to watch the sunlight slowly go

Silly Wishes
02:45
|

Don’t you think it’s funny in a way
How every single motion brought you closer to today
Well, if you’re wondering where you are
Take a big step back and check the car
Something tells me you’re not far away
Falling stars and birthday cards
All your silly wishes unfulfilled
The wolves outside, they thrash and bite
And they can smell the wine your glass has spilt
Don’t you think it’s lovely out tonight
How every planetary body is perfectly aligned
Well, if you second guess yourself
Take your pictures down from off the shelf
You were never meant to live in line
Falling stars and birthday cards
All your silly wishes unfulfilled
The cops outside, they flash their lights
And they tell us to dismantle what we built

Alright
03:39
|

|
I wonder when you’re coming home
Or if I’m predisposed to feel alone
Sometimes I wonder if we’re all just
Waiting to atone
But it’s alright
And I wonder if it’s just a dream
If everything is broken as it seems
Sometimes I tell myself it’s all just holy codependency
Alright
But it’s alright
Oh, it’s alright
And you cross your fingers hoping that you can
Make it through the night
Cus it’s alright
And I can feel the toxins in my veins
The stench of blood and sweat that fills my brain
Sometimes I fill my works with cryptic
Shouts of violent praise
But it’s alright
Oh, it’s alright
And you lock up all your demons
Try to keep em out of sight
Cus it’s alright
Sometimes I tell myself the past is simply just a fact
And how everything that happens stays the same
And sometimes I tell myself that I will
Truly never change

Fix Yourself
04:23
|

|
I lost myself out in the waves for a little while
But no one had told me what was lost
I lost myself out in the world for a little while
But no one had told me what it would cost
I was told that I was part of something greater than myself
Something bright against the darkness
Something true
But what everything unravelled
In an instant, I was distanced
From everything I ever loved and ever knew
They told me fix yourself, fix yourself
They block their ears
From all my fears
And all my cries for help
And in the early morning
There’s a whisper, there’s a warning
From the great I am, he told me fix yourself

Waste
04:16

I want you to know
I want you to notice all of me
When I’m next to you at night
And I don’t know if you’re right
And I don’t know if you’re worth my time
But I know, you’re always on my mind
But you don’t know I lied
When I begin to tell you
Just how long it’s been
Since I stayed up all through the night
But you don’t mind the drive
When everything around us
Seems completely lost
I’ll just waste all of your time
I’ll just waste your time
So I gave you a ride
And you invited me to come inside
Cus you know I keep myself too tight
And I knew it was right
For every second of my adult life to just leave
I’ll learn to feel you breath
And it’s fine by me
Cus we do the same work but we don’t work for free
When we’re all captains of industry
You’re always on my mind
But I’ll just waste your time
You’re always on my mind

Don't
03:40

Something in your voice begins to slide
Running back and forth between the vines
There’s a flickering light inside your heart
There’s a flickering light that hides inside your heart
And I have warred against the monsters hiding down beneath your bed
The rattle and hum of voices in your head
In everything, you loved me for my sin
But I don’t want to love you
I just want to feel your skin
And all my friends keep saying everything’s alright to blow away
But we always needed something real to hold
And since it’s only love that takes us where we want to go these days
Just walk the other way, or just don’t
You try your best to keep things kind
But you fear the silence in my mind
There’s a shadow of a stranger in my home
There’s a fractured light that bleaches broken bones
And I recall when we had kept our faith inside the family store
Hoping we were greater than before
In everything, you kept your strength and hope
But Jesus doesn’t take to kind to traitors in his throne
So fuck your righteousness
And leave the grandeur
Lose the master plan
You can’t change the way it’s framed
Cus you can’t change the way I am
But I would give you all I have if you could
Promise me it’s something worth a damn

Heavy
04:03
|

|
It’s three in the morning
You’re miles away
I’m drinking my problems
I’m smoking my days
Your engine in running
I’m caught in a haze
You’re shaking my nerves
You rattle my brains
Oooo I’m nothing without you
Oooo I’m lost and confused
When you dance in my head, I feel you strong
Baby, come back to bed, they’re playing our song
Was it ever determined
That time really slows?
When do we lift up?
Will we ever get home?
You’re waiting for something
Your hands couldn’t hold
When my world’s getting heavy
Your rust turns to gold
When all our years pass
And our hair turns to grey
Through drinking our problems
Through smoking our days
When my worlds getting heavy
You’re all I will keep
I swear, I promise
You’re all that I need
Oooo I’m nothing without you
Oooo I’m lost and confused
When you dance in my head, I feel you strong
Baby, come back to bed, they’re playing our song
Baby, come back to bed, they’re playing our song
Baby, come back to bed, I’m playing your song

If My Voice Gives Out
05:09
|
|||
|
I found you lost, I found you trapped inside
Your eyes like stars in orbit around my pride
You cracked my chest, you dragged me into the choir
I can’t contain, I can’t change this desire
But if my voice gives out
I’ve found theres no other route
Than to keep on singing
You found my ghost, blonde hair with a blue dress on
Our house in the woods, we’re kissing on the front lawn
You whispered slow, do you have all of your cards drawn
Love, pay no mind, I promise there’s nothing wrong
But if we’re caught in sand
I’ve found there’s no other plan
Than to keep on digging
But if my world gives out
I’ve found there’s no other route
For when I’m losing track
I’ve found there’s no other plan
Than to keep on searching

Love You
04:53

You called me quiet one
Holding back the truth behind your tongue
I’m reaching back behind the curtain
For some self control
You’d asked me if I ever
Lived a life as good as this one
I’m just a passenger, darling
Walking around the inside of your soul
You could put the blame on anyone
To think that we’re just running around the sun
And I never really lied to you
It’s just the truth I hide from you
It’s all the same with what remains
It’s true
I was never ready to love you
You’ve told yourself
There’s no room left to put a face on
Then I come walking through your life
With half my cards drawn
These walls can’t speak the way I do
And they can’t feel love
These walls keep secrets like a priest
Dear, you’re the holy one
You could put the blame on anything
The way I’m pressed for time, the way I sing
There’s wonder in these halls that keeps me waiting for your call
It’s easy to believe you’re somewhere else
And I could fill your head with all the books I’ve ever read
It’s easy to believe you’re something else
It’s nothing under my control that you’re the rehab of my soul
It’s hardest to believe you’re nothing else
And I know it wasn’t right
The way I spoke to you in the park
But I swear, it was perfect
The way you spoke to me in the dark
You could put the blame on anyone
This lack of movement’s overdone

Down in the Valley
05:40
|
|||
|
Oh, the road was damn near silent
Where my dreams lay cold and violent
Locked between two rifts of flesh and blood, divine
Where I recall just what you said
When we had hid beneath your bed
That the monster was above us this time
And I wanted to so badly
Keep you safe from our finale
From these mountains, from these voices in the deep
And I’m trying to stay conscious
But I can’t quite seem to launch
Is this a dream or am I trying to fall asleep?
Well, I hope you stay a while
Cus it’s a long drive home from where we used to be
But if I stay
Down in the valley
It stays the same
But you don’t stay with me
No, I can’t tell you
Or repel you
This is fleeting
We’re still leaving
When I war with coexistence
There’s a tower in the distance
And its bell rings ceaselessly into my past
There’s a soldier back from war
There lays the steeple, there’s the family store
There’s men who’s words would shake like cannon blasts
And the tower’s looming closer
Every second I’m alone
But I wonder if we ever came to pledge
On the boulevard I frequent
Such a momentary lapse of reason
Take me one step closer to the edge
Well, I hope you come and visit once or twice
Before we pack our things and leave
And so it goes
To think everything I loved would cease to grow
To think all our loves must die before it shows
And I gave you my all
For all the wonder I found in the hall, but no
I can’t tell you
Or repel you
This is fleeting
We’re still leaving
But I wonder if you’ve ever known
The life that you live reflects the
Love that which you’ve shown
And if it would ever cross your mind
To call up our loved ones once or
Twice before we die
And I’ve never felt more self assured
Our paths were crossing, we were
Greater than before
And I might have washed up on the shore
But I learned to love the way the
Light shined through your door
