Keeping things the way they are
can hear you as an echo
just to feel lonely
trying not to fall apart
spinning without moving
keeps me feeling lonely
if you're feeling into it,
then who cares what comes next?
keeping things the way they are
can hear you as an echo
just to feel lonely
trying not to fall apart
spinning without moving
keeps me feeling lonely
tear it out again
until the break starts to mend
keep it cold and preserved
keep it cold so it hurts

Learn to Swim
01:59
|

|
in the day when everybody learns to swim
at the same place I begin
to figure out what it takes
to be alone
only thinking with half- thoughts
can't tell what's going on without you
truncate the pain with a swiftness to the brain
that will only build in me a sense of useless apathy
been thinking about how i've been just hanging around
I think i'll go for a walk

Nothing Else

turn me over with a very low shout
i'll keep routine like there's nothing else
can't see past that window sill
so I've been living inside now
trying to think what I care about
pull the chair back so I can reach out
maybe you just like being alone
brush it off with a start
I wont know
been thinking 'bout some bad tattoos and my feet on the road

Lake Steps
01:30
|

|
count all the things that you thought that you needed
and realize that they haven't been doing you very much
I've gained a second skill
to know what isn't real
despite the fact it's quarter past and I am very high
but to me you're okay
when it seems i'm not
counting steps from the lake till
my steps prove that i'm not

remember where I want to be
so I find the streets are open and colder than they should be
close my mind with a rhythmic sway
and sit and wait by the side of a fight that I engage
feeling the road curve
glass keeps the pressure on
don't wanna think about the time that I waste
moving towards sunlight
I can see the final truth
as it brings me closer to
a cold room that holds it all in
walking fast back from the store
look at an image that tells me more
about the way i've been feeling for weeks
but it doesn't work
i've been way too late
you say "Hey I don't mind i'm just sure I like you"

Burden
02:28
|

|
feeling down but that gets burdened with time
leaving now but feeling hopeless and left behind
there's a pain that can't be placed when you're reminded
how being overlooked can feel when you're just too quiet
carried through a haze to find
some relentless light that washed pink the sky
autumn wings that just can't seem to catch the sky
vision blends all the plans that you traced out in lines
and a silhouette takes shape of all the good ones
that fall into the past and can't be outdone
feeling down but that gets burdened with time
leaving now but feeling hopeless and left behind
there's a pain that can't be placed when you're reminded
how being overlooked can feel when you're just too quiet

Dry

I'm the thought of a day that's already gone
a celestial cage and shadows of home
keeping track of what is meant
and understand it's for the best
but is it keeping you for sure
here for so long
send me back inside
a blur of lights, counted time
in a space I hide
maybe i'll like it
when I don't have to like it
keeping track of what is meant
and understand it's for the best
but is it keeping you for sure
you here for so long
ebb and flow picking up
surround my feet and keep them stuck
for a while
do not worry
i'm only temporary
and with eyes that are never wet
see the moments you know best
watch them stay for you alone
keeping track of what is meant
and understand it's for the best
but is it keeping you for sure
till you hear so long
spent the winter staying dry
just to burn the pathways on which I rely
deliver silence from the sky
a crushing downwards from faraway heights
now spend the summer staying dry.
