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

Laughter Like
03:51
|
|||
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

Keep Your Teeth
03:54

>Part 1
Try-y-yng
So-o-o
(we've been) Try-y-yng
So hard to hold on to our teeth
(and we're) Dy-y-ying
Oh no-o-o
(know we're) Dy-y-ying
No ignoring what's beneath
>Part 2
And I don't know why I find it so hard,
only can tell it straight that I do-o
And I don't know why I found it so hard,
liked to kick it as much as the next do
Telling me to hold on,
hold on to my teeth
Telling me to hold on,
(hold on) to this animal beneath
>Part 1
>Part 2
>Part 3
They say "Fear will keep you strong"
They say "You gotta" say "you gotta"
They say "Hold on to your teeth kid"
They say "You gotta" say "you gotta"
>Part 4
"Hold on"
No-
That isn't me

Shadow Shifting
03:51
|
|||
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

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

Lights Are Always
03:51
|
|||
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]]

It's An Adventure
03:20
|

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

People Don't Say
04:58

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

Motion Sickness
03:31
|
|||
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
