Static Hymn 03:37
Those ties that I used to That I used to have to wear to work This table was left by By strangers who stopped in to drink coffee Those highs now remembered Now remembered through a scent on stray clothing Miss unable to throw away Thoughtful notes sent from my kin Daylight through window shifting A static hymn that's always sifting Stay right, do ya still know when it stings? Enigmatic trim the way time pings Paintings, on cave walls Echo now, in bathroom stalls Straining, a war cry Voices now bring tears to your eyes So many lies that I used to (That I used to) That I used to have to say at work These fables were left by (They were left by) By old friends who stopped in to drink coffee Your thighs now remembered (Now remembered) Now remembered through your scent you left on me (You left on me) Miss unable to spend the day Writing notes to send to my kin Daylight through window shifting A static hymn that's always sifting Stay right, do ya still know when it stings? Enigmatic trim the way time pings Paintings, on cave walls Echo now, in bathroom stalls Straining, a war cry Voices now bring tears to your eyes Paintings, on cave walls Echo now, in bathroom stalls Straining, a war cry Voices now bring tears to your eyes Paintings, on cave walls Echo now, in bathroom stalls Straining, a war cry Voices now bring tears to your eyes

This laughter like that unsaid Our after like unmade beds This laughter like that unsaid Our afters like fading shades of red And laughter like a broken radio Laughter like when you went on your way Laughter like a broken radio Laughter like the words I do not say It's been a year I still love you It's been a year wish I could let it go It's been a year I still love you It's been a year my heart's still static snow This laughter like that unsaid Our after like unmade beds This laughter like that unsaid Our afters like fading shades of red And laughter like a broken radio Laughter like when you went on your way Laughter like a broken radio Laughter like the words I cannot say It's been a year I still love you It's been a year wish I could let it go It's been a year I still love you It's been a year my heart's still static snow Laughter after all this These words untranslatable From some foreign tongue Hear your laughter now like a broken radio Hear your laughter in my head Hear your laughter now like a broken radio Still remember your scent fading from my bed Maybe you won't see me I'm laughing Maybe you won't see me but I'm on my way Maybe you won't see me I'm laughing Maybe you won't see me but it's finally day Laughter after all this These words untranslatable It's been a year I still love you It's been a year wish I could let it go It's been a year I still love you It's been a year my heart's still static snow Laughter after all this These words untranslatable Maybe you won't see me I'm laughing Maybe you won't see me but I'm on my way Maybe you won't see me I'm laughing Maybe you won't see me but it's finally day

Shadow shifting... Sunlight That I might Find a new way Shadow shifting... Sunlight, sunlight Another chance Sunlight, sunlight To get it right We'll be talking We'll be talking We'll be speaking with our true voices Where we're walking When we're walking Every step Speaking of our choices We are shadows Sh-sh-shadows That slide across these walls We are shadows Sh-sh-shadows Colliding with the sprawl Such a longing, such a longing Such a longing to collide [[Chorus]] [[Chorus2]] [[Chorus]] [[Interlude]] [[Intro]] [[Verse]] [[Chorus]] [[Chorus2]] [[Chorus]]

Star Showers 03:45
I need open spaces We need open spaces sand castle built in an hour glass split too much talking of my past take another slug drainin off this flask bit drunk, but I won't ask can't relate now cause there's too much all holding tight to what's in our clutch threatened by what's outside our touch bit scared, but not my crutch 8 minutes & 20 S-E-C-O-N-D-S Are you in it? Star showers How many hours & S-E-C-O-N-D-S you got left? All these things take only S-E-C-O-N-D-S Are you awake? Space flowers How many hours & S-E-C-O-N-D-S you got left? Chorus1 vertigo looking down from what I know the past too much to stow away it's such a slow way to see for days disconnected bios time in escrow washing up as John Does cause all we've ever god is this Chorus2

Looking out Out the window Out these windows And into the future The lights, the lights, the lights The lights are always Brighter on, on the other Side of these hopes With this back on the ropes Other side of these hopes With this back against the ropes Shouting out Out the window Out these windows And into the future The lights, the lights, the lights The lights are always Brighter on, on the other Side of these hopes With this back on the ropes Otherside of these hopes With this back against the ropes Well tell me, tell me are you happy? Happy, happy with what you have? You're not, you're not sure yet Seems like, seems like yes & no I Think, I think it's something Something I have to find Inside, inside, inside Inside Cause it's so powerful for us to say it When day to day it seems that we forget Everything is gonna be alright yea Even through these fights it's gonna be ok Side of these hopes With my back on the ropes Other side of my hopes With this back against the ropes These lights are Always, they're always Cause it's so powerful for us to say it When day to day it seems that we forget Everything is gonna be alright yea Even through these fights it's gonna be ok The lights, the lights, the lights The lights are always Brighter on, on the other

Water Rising 03:14
The earth was shaking and the air it smelled of smoke I felt upset but laughed as if you'd made a joke Cause the water is rising Nightmares of dyin' l-l-l-l-liftin' us up They're the only things that keep L-l-l-l-l-l-l-left behind ways at bay They'd swallow These dreams of flyin' l-l-l-l-liftin' us up The waters rising L-l-l-l-l-l-l-live while we still have time to try And all these houses were like candles blown out as wind passed out to the sea we sat atop the roof [[PreChorus]] [[Chorus1]] with the water ri-i-ising when we've been too slow, too slow revising with the water ri-i-ising we've got, we've still got time to try [[Chorus]] [[Chorus2]]

Think you're free When you're on Your way Your way Think you're free If you're on Your way Your way Ooo oo oo oo oo Ooo oo oo oo oo Just remember tomorrow And these pressure changes Sent to rearrange us Pure exchanges Embracing strangeness This shifting landscape Thrown into another scrape Wouldn't have it any other way Cause it's an adventure Think you're free When you're on Your way Your way Think you're free If you're on Your way Your way Ooo oo oo oo oo Ooo oo oo oo oo Just remember tomorrow Sent to rearrange us We'll be embracing strangeness Thrown into another scrape Wouldn't have it any other way Cause it's an adventure Think you're free When you're on Your way Your way Think you're free If you're on Your way Your way Ooo oo oo oo oo Ooo oo oo oo oo (Just remember tomorrow) And these pressure changes Sent to rearrange us Pure exchanges Embracing strangeness This shifting landscape Thrown into another scrape Wouldn't have it any other way Cause it's an adventure

Mossy shoe, dawn dew How these sleeping giants imprison sky And these forms they lie Sun strobe, burnt globe Now there's dragons swimming in the sky Shadows in my eyes And through, the view How I knew I saw a glimpsing hand New loneliness to withstand And in, the wind No longer appearing offhand Always destined to crash land So often People don't say They just fade away Glossy dew, sun hues How these creeping giants imprison sky And these forms they sigh Moon lobe, tree probe Now there's dragons swimming in the sky Shadows in my eyes So blue, us few How we knew we saw a glimpsing land New barrenness to withstand And in, this skin No longer appearing offhand Always destined to crash land So often People don't say They just fade away

Do you feel the ground running beneath? Do you feel its vibrations shaking your teeth? This motion sickness is starting To get, get, get to me So now I'm sick with motion I never drank their potion But I'm still feeling its sway To stay So now I'm sick with motion I never left the ocean But I'm feeling its sway To stay Beneath, beneath, beneath, beneath (beneath these waves) Do you feel the sound running beneath? Do you feel its vibrations shaking your teeth? There's such a sickness to Going through these motions So now I'm sick with motion I never drank their potion But I'm still feeling its sway To stay So now I'm sick with motion I never left the ocean But I'm feeling its sway To stay Beneath, beneath, beneath, beneath (beneath these waves) Told to make a fall back plan Never been a fall back man Think I'd rather drown in the ocean Than be a prisoner of this motion sickness People like us are out of their thought lines But we're not neurotoxins we're the spirits that bind These plans, all this Even when required action amiss Gets me down, try to drown All these sorrows and frowns See the flux in the DNA underlying the cause In everyday motion sickness Beneath, beneath, beneath, beneath (beneath these waves)

Awake In Bed 02:49
These words are dead webs They're dead webs These words are dead webs We're waiting or their ebb These words are dead webs They're dead webs These words are dead webs They're stuck in our heads Like bugs caught in web They're still stick in my head Their noises don't seem to ebb so I lay awake in bed Awake In bed I push you out But you fill my head Awake In bed I feel your phantom It's a weight I can't shed Awake In bed I push you out but you fill my head Awake In bed I'm filled with fear A sense of dread

Dead Webs 03:42
Say, say, say, you say "You're such a control freak" "I love the way you speak" "I love the winter, it feels so crisp" "This breath it's bliss" But these words are dead webs, they're dead webs These words are dead webs, we're waiting for their ebb These words are dead webs, they're dead webs These words are dead webs, they're stuck in our heads "I thought you might like this" "Let me give you a hello kiss" "I know I that make you guess" "I'm sorry to be such a mess" But these words are dead webs, they're dead webs These words are dead webs, we're waiting for their ebb These words are dead webs, they're dead webs These words are dead webs, they're stuck in our heads Like bugs caught in a web They're still stuck in my head Their noises don't seem to ebb So I lay awake in bed
