- August
Once I'm out of places to go
Untie all my heavy loads
And come down like the full moon into the sea
Relive the days that swim in my head
Write up words left unsaid
And leave them in a bottle for some stranger to read
- Basement
On the day I went to see you city blocks were up in flames
In a way I'm drifting by without a trace
It's a dullness in the feeling
Or a calm before the storm
Couldn't tell you anymore
Somewhere in the basement
Furnace is somehow lit
- Colorado
I asked you what’s the point of it all?
The shadows are longer and i think it’s my fault
Used to blame the weather, or something i did
But this time I can’t point to anything
Was Thanksgiving always this way?
She said this year let’s just skip the holidays
Promise me we won’t end up like them
- Dissolve
Lately you've been out to drift
And I know weights get hard to lift
But this house is a goddamn mess
And you're so far down
And they told me to stay away
There's no answer anyway
But I can't help myself
- Dune
There's a void to fill up here that's always been
So we head straight down the coast again
You know the sun on the causeway pulls the wool over me
To cover all the ways I'd never be
You wanna dig it out somehow
Without saying nothing at all
Find new ways to spin around
- Separated
You say you don't know what to do about it anymore
As I hang up the phone and shut the door
Cause it's nothing new
Clouds steer us down I-85
And it's not meant for us to revive
You got nerves of chrome as we drive from home today
- Surface
How many times you spun today
On the cracked tile floor you love to pace?
And how empty does it have to be before the need returns
To say I want something?
So I'm trading in these hooks for hands
Before that wavering sets in again
And today I'm opening the thousand lives that I've locked up
- Undone
So this is how it ends huh?
You say you've come undone
Sand falls through my hands as I watch the tide pull away from the sun
Watch you in the waves and they're getting rough
Wondering if I'll ever be enough
And I don't speak the language here
And you've been drunk since noon
- Vacation
One day out on my own and I'm doing alright
I've studied tricks to fight back all my old routines
How could I explain to you what it's like?
That taking one step's like a raindrop in the sea
And those meetings where the lowlifes groan and speak so easily
It's like no one ever taught me how
- Vision
Now we're out in a distant town like you wanted
Winter sun in a rented room cuts the carpet
Spent way too long waiting for the fall, with thoughts haunting me these days
Been here before, and I can't ignore as I watch it wash away
Thought if unspoken can't break it wide open
The cords I was holding untied long ago
