Homeward
03:12
|

All I really want is to go see you now
But I’m bound by the thought that what compels me is
Going to lead me further, further, further still
Ending in a world where I know you don’t live
And all I want for you
all I want for you
I doubt you even know what I see when I look at you
We could traverse our wilderness like it was something new
Shown by path behind you’ll come to see
We are home together finally

Snow

Just a show
Thought I’d go
Could be a good time
But after all that all the pieces began their fall into line
Of a picture I feel I once had seen
Hit a sign
We were fine
But no one did believe
That anything should be happening between
A fool and a girl so haphazardly
Don’t fear to forget me
Saw the view
Thought I knew
How this would go down
Patient distance was to be my final adversary now
Like a warm aching pain that calls me home
Here’s the snow
Which I owe
This solemn quiet mind
The countenance to see you as a lonely burning place to find
And of course I know I could be wrong
Oh when will I see you here sitting next to me?

Go Alone
03:02
|
|||
I could forget the way it felt when memories melt away
Before my eyes had seen this gaping open endless callous sea
That swirls surrounds but yet is somehow still contained inside of me
Go alone or go together I don’t know what sounded better
In truth I’d rather sit forever in this vast inclement weather
I can’t remember how is felt to fear the belt that
Wraps around my seat reclined in tension drawing me to see the
Fact of the immortal being wrestling to make me set myself free

Tame Machine
03:28
|
|||
There's going to be a day
When there's nothing left to do
Except wait and see if there is going to be a rescue
And even if there may
Who am I to say to you
How to get there without care for just a thank you
Call me a machine
Just not a villain
So tame it's obscene
It’s not all I am
The kindest thing I can
To pretend that I don't know
What it is to find yourself alone below
Might someday bring me to
What I only hope is you
And the weight of knowing what it means to be through
Stop thinking you can fight it

Hell
06:08
|
|||
These ashes are hidden now faintly red
A striving's blown over, by which they've spread
The dust at rest because rest was what sought
despite the notion of figments now lost
You will not run
You are not done
You cannot shun
The path laid bare
Remember the gravel that lead me down
Stumbling on it for fear of your crown
A toll to be paid but none quite as dear
As exile to teach me what to revere
You will not run
You are not done
You cannot shun
The path laid bare
Confidence in all that you've shown me to always
Trust and care more fiercely than fire to cause all
others to see what it is to be guided through
bleakness yet despite that I can't keep from getting it wrong
|

I was a boy lost in doubt
Filled with lies I would tout
Honestly I deceived
Everyone I would meet
The weight's about to fall
Forming truths without care
Judging souls with my glare
Foolishly I would not flee
Rather I'd be crushed beneath
The weight's about to fall
And now it's clear
The fear did fade away
Just please be near me
I was shown how to behave
Before I knew your name
Suddenly I woke up
From a life without love
The weights about to fall
Hold my hand you would say
And I'll help you through this day
When it’s all done you will see
How every step lead to me
The weights about to fall
And now it's clear
The fear did fade away
Just please be near me

Shadows
05:05
|
|||
It seems to me that we're leaving
and how can that be since we've barely arrived?
Evenings passed by like a plane so distant and faint
yet we still knows it's shape
We are shadows
Each other’s Shadows
Friendships like fires need breathing to keep them warm inside
when the night's not far away
we'll still go on in our own ways
knowing that in fact we have cast each other out
Let's set a blaze
so we might grow and grow

Oregon
03:05
|

I don't know
If we should go
Out away across the stream
It could carry me away
Just like every other day
that ends in my defeat
I may jump
to escape
knowing every moment that
I am not my own
and constantly alone
just a breath apart from you
And oh how I doubt that this day will ever cease
A choice too drawn out so this day wills me no peace
Oh, how I doubt
How I doubt
Every Breath
That I waste
Draws me even closer to
A distant made up land
If I can just withstand
this boundless steel span
If you thought
That I could
bring peace to your wild fire
how would you behave?
even if the same,
I think I'd love you more.
And oh How I doubt that this day will ever cease
A choice too drawn out so this day wills me no peace
Oh, how I doubt
How I doubt

Without A Sound
03:38
|

Let's go
somewhere I can see
destinations
So sparse
I may have a chance
to pick the right one
it's always out there
they're always out there
you're always out there in plain sight
I think I need a nap
what if
I woke up in the street
of a different city
The scene
plays out inside my mind
all to the same end

Amid Whatever Madness
03:24
|
|||
One time in waters we have never seen
We will doubt everything that made it seem real
One time across town whichever that may be
We will cut each other for fear of losing sleep
Just keep breathing
I know the feeling
Someday our paths will cross
One time surrounded by pathetic awful people
We will trust each other and punch them in their minds
One time fearlessly as we fly amongst the fields
We will stare endlessly at all the things he’s given us
One time as thought pours from every nerve
I will tell you simply that I love you

Through The Padded Walls
01:19
|
|||
Brick by brick He'll build this up he'll lay this down
Diligence in mischief to delve underground
fortify the passages to keep away
Anything and everything so he can pray
Oh my god this is much too much for me
Callously he barricades childhood tomb
to live in it forever so to never bloom

Bound
06:12
|
|||
Starving me
Just to see
Ribs break free
Yet I agree
I adore
What you wore
What you stood for
Now what's the score
Turn around
see who's crowned
it's every pound
of you I've bound
hallelujah

North
03:37
|
|||
Can’t stop thinking about who I want to be
Common shapes disintegrate and fall beneath
Surrounded by sand melted down by my own heat
Backed by clouds that only tell of better things
They’re fed by oceans that encase this rising tide
That’s pouring down from all around to flow through me
Floating nowhere and just about to fall asleep
Can’t stop thinking about who I want to be

Finding Yourself
06:22
|
|||
You told me not to worry
Not to hurry
It will as soon be behind
Standing by the roadside
Just past low tide
You’ve never been so kind
In return I choose to despair
Say the Lord’s Prayer
And assume I’ve lost my mind
But writings of my loved ones
And their lost sons
Show my heart is signed
All you said was trust me
Harsh words in the morning
Though alarming
May just be to remind
That evenings with my father
Are no longer
A thing I cannot find
Even if the days are long and I fear that I don’t belong I have no lack of grace
You’ve shown to me so many joys that I just want to makes some noise that fills up all of space
