Violent
03:46

all along the cliff came crashing waves
spitting angry foam
swell up and collide, day after day
you could shatter stone
i watched towers in the tide collapsing, but never changing
it's so violent in the back and forth, that storm that was raging
when the road was flat, you gave her names
warm inside a home
nothing here can stand to stay the same
you chill me to the bone
i watched houses on a hill collapsing, but never changing
it's so violent in the back and forth, that storm isn't fading
get out of my head
get out of my head
get out of my head
get out of my head
get out of my head
get out of my head

Cold Sunshine

breathe every color in the room deep into you
we lie surrounded by your magic marker lists of things to do
just breathe the long day out your alien mouth
i’ll melt the stress behind your shoulders
in the sleepy afternoon
we’ll both be older soon
hold me close, taste that truth
hold me close
such sweet fruit
you liked cold, cold sunshine in the fall
we were wrapped up in your sunshine yellow walls
we’re still so new and i found out
i’m not alone, hey turn around
decide the way you’re facing
your mind is always changing
eyes soft, you take your glasses off
don’t look ahead to see that something’s wrong
the clock won’t stop
we don’t have long
i don’t wanna go
hold me close, you just know
hold me close
and breathe in slow
watching cold, cold sun shine on the wall
holding up a house that’s gonna fall
the rubble rises up so tall
the garden cries, the flowers crawl
let the dead sunshine burn out the fall
we’ve still got time, let's spend it all

oo, i won’t go
you are all i know
i will travel any road
to always be with you
and oh, time will slow
when we’re finally alone
we won’t change, we’ll only grow
i’ll always be with you

Spoon & Stars

it's been so long
we've been at this so long
and even when you're gone
i hear you in every song
where'd you go?
know i should let you ebb and flow
but spring is cold
last week i lost control
i'm sorry, it somehow took me all this time to realize
i'm in it til the end
i'm in it til the end
somehow took me all this time to realize
now those feelings i suppressed
are burning in my chest
so won't you come
and fill some summer days
it's been so long
but we still have time to waste
there's so much more to do
i’ll walk through every street with you
we'll make it through
we've always made it through
starlight in a spoon to cure the distance
but i'm still missing
how your eyes glisten
starlight in a spoon to cure the distance
you're still missing
speak and i’ll listen
come cure the distance

You Echo
03:38
|

|
i dried in the sun and hid my face
you sat in the shade
i dried in the sun and hid my face
those lines in the sand were washed by rain
your heart is the same
we slept in a storm and felt the ground shake
maybe i've been home for far too long
by the time you echo i'll be gone
and if you decide to stretch your arms
you can come and find me, i’ll be lost
we split on the trail to look for ghosts
you swore they were close
we flattened the leaves beneath our toes
i wanted a way to take up space
i swallowed the waves
i dried in the sun and hid my face

Morning
02:59
|
|||
|
day brings distraction
when things start to happen
i forget for a while
and night lulls my longing a little
a haze and a pillow, fooling my mind
but in the morning i have to be honest
i look in the mirror and know where my heart is
i wake up and can't keep the lie up
spend the rest of the day in denial, but
i still love you
noises are welcome
they drown out the questions
that fill my insides
when it's quiet, so i turn up the music
and hide from the truth, at least til the sunrise

Monhegan
04:24

far away from what’s familiar
high up on another bluff
landed on a rocky island
way out where the ocean’s rough
it’s still early (a citrus babble)
i’ve got time (people stay here)
creaky calling (i’m not falling)
bony climb (i’ll be fine)
forward through a liquid forest
stumble til i’m out of breath
quaintness through somebody’s curtains
maybe it’s a place to rest
a place to rest, i don’t need a place to rest
i see yellow– golden lights on in your tower
i watch your shadow holding mine
stars falling– flying, they were ours
dead days with no one keeping time
toss out all the wasted water
i'll be on a sweeter shore
all the rusty ships are stranded
bled out on the ocean floor
i don’t need a place to rest

Bridge
03:03
|
|||
|
can't wait to fall, we won't get old
we strip to shorts and start to shiver
and if my friend from long ago
jumped off a bridge, i would go with her
looking at another face
everything is such a waste
i don't really know what it's all for
i’ll be good another year
probably should get outta here
but every time i run it leaves me sore
played through the night, we won’t be scared
we start to blush but it's on purpose
start counting down, drop through the air
she doesn't see below the surface
