GONE BAD IN THE BONEYARD
03:24
|

some things are better left unsaid
so i planted it in my head
hoped a garden from that seed but it overtook me like a weed
what is it that you need?
where the gravel meets the streets
lines left behind cracks under my feet
i'm on top of it
so why can't I quit?
you said i love the way that you wear it
is it staring back at you?
my head is far away and I need a place to stay
some things are better when they're said
so i let it out of my head
in the garden trimming weeds
because you can't grow if you don't bleed
what is it I'm missing?

SUGAR IN YOUR CUP
04:19

Would you come down?
I’ve been digging this all by myself
The floor gave out and now i’m lying here
Rolled into town
But they caught my baby stealing
I know we’ve both been falling down
I don’t want to find you
Before i am enough
I can’t keep it all mine
You gotta let it escape some
The second round
Got me where i was going
A big let down
I take that weight off slowly
Put today behind you
And watch it all burn up
A dead tree in the front yard
And some sugar in your cup
I came to when i needed you around
Added up my days until i couldn’t hear a sound
Phases of myself my love be true
If it breaks it isn’t broken, it just don’t know what to do
Sunshine on this side of your life
Tapping on your window while you go run and hide
I know we’ve both been falling down
But you can never get caught stealing what you’ve always had around

IT TAKES FOREVER
05:16

When i was a kid
I sold cigarettes
To cops and priests
They told me they liked my work ethic
But they didn’t like me
Soft spoken child in a world that screams
Push the button on the cash machine
When i was a kid i sold cigarettes
It takes forever when you’re gone
So quick to turn it back on
With the flip
I am fallen
It takes my head off when you’re gone
But every time i sing your song
I get the same words wrong
It takes forever

You’re a good kid
A blurry silhouette
Through the window
I can’t see through
Sleeping in your car
I heard that noise before
It gave me shivers then
But you knew the story
I’m looking back only when the light is gone
Squeezing my hand i don’t know where it’s from
Looking back only when the light is on my side
Do you miss your glow?
What do i do know?
How late are you gonna be?
If you haven’t spent it already
It’s all it takes just to form a habit
Let’s record your song
Our friends can come along
So i can lie down
In its warmth
Counting my breaths to make the moment pass
Time takes forever but the years don’t seem to last
To remember you the sky cries
Beautiful colors and your own brand of light
Do you still see me now the way that i see you?
I’ve been working hard to hide what’s been missing in my life
Id give anything to hear you release the basement sound
I’m afraid to hide what’s been missing in my life

THE MOON IS HELL
04:17
|

I feel heavy
Take it slowly
Learn to breath deep
Trapped in a place down low where everybody knows
It’s stuck in your head
Sofa sitting and it’s feeling lived it
Shake it around a few times to see what each one brings
Baby i’m a coward
But i’m not afraid of you
When the world is only half lit it’s our light that’s shining through
Your love’s like the ocean
But i cant drink the salt in the sea
I tried before when i brought you down with me
I’ve been waiting
For nights when your breath slowly rolls in
Left with the fog, my dog, and a familiar low
But cut your wing
We all wanna hear that voice sing
A different song tired of ones that we all know
I write down all my second chances
On a blank page or an open canvas
Am i waiting for the time it takes
To forget what comes before
If you know you’re in the wrong direction
Does it mean you know the way youre heading?
Can you see something invisible
If you believe that it is there?
Have you gone too far if you never even get there?

MIRROR
02:46
|

Don’t waste your years
In a mirror that don’t reflect
There’s snakes in your skin
And the yard is empty yet
When i want to run you hold my hand
When i was young you brushed my hair
Don’t waste your years
In a mirror that don’t reflect
It takes up every part of anything that’s left
I want to run but you hold my hand
When i was young i brushed your hair
Is there something that has got you twisted too?
Can you tell me what’s the right thing i should do?
Am i someone who has got you twisted too?
Am i someone who has got you twisted too?

SINK

There’s a spider in your cheek
I pay her no mind
The world sharpens your teeth
So sick and so kind
The sky is turning green
It’s warm in my mind
Stuck on our favorite frame
There’s a spider in your cheek
I pay him no mind
What’s the price you pay?
To get your head right
I see you come undone
And let your hair down to my floor
I watched you wait in line
For the flowers that you wore
Were you raised by a decade
That taught you how to hide it all inside?
When you wake to a new day does it feel the same or can you taste it?
You grew spring time in a past life
Does it hurt to die if you’re born again?
So bite down when you feel ageless
They can’t change us
You won’t change us
You and i will never sink

CRYSTAL METAL
03:26
|
|||
There’s no light
At seven thirty on thursday night
When blurry eyes
Are reaching towards a fire sky
You’re body becomes crystal clear
The kids all have no fear
It breaks your frame by design
I wanted to come back to it sometime
There’s no light
At eleven thirty on sunday night
I’ll wait outside
And circle the block one more time
My body became crystal clear
The kids all have no fear
It breaks your frame by design
I wanted to come back to it sometime
There’s no light
It’s four thirty on monday morning
I’ll take advice
And disconnect from worlds of worry
But there’s no light
If it keeps you going
Don’t let that crystal metal eat you alive
