sollis 01:38
Our life comes And as it walks right past me I watch it go The fruit of a cactus A melting footprint in our snow The camper night, a violent end My swollen thumb That was then I watched it end But life renews Every night under the same moon Your moon Our life comes And it walks right past me But maybe this time I’ll grab ahold again Start the little truck again Sometime very soon

Standing in your shadow Talking up your last hopes I’m up in a bad bad bad smoke Talk back now With your full rebound I’m up in the mountains I’ve held long now Burnt up in my head Just to put it all back down again Can’t you get a handle on it You say It's all the same Fear always locks us in the same cage Your way, its all a burn I suppose true love is always earned We’re all dying from the same thing Blinded by the same tease But I'll never be the first to see Soften the cage Cause I’m no longer hiding on the next page Just a chest ache I suppose in time I’ll show you where I keep mine It’s a different frame of mind You say It’s all the same Fear always looks us in the same face Your way, it's all a burn I suppose true love aint always my turn Tell 'em I aint leaving strong The winter kept my sudden squall It's written on your hidden walls You can't see the better side of me When I'm hiding up this creek I'm waiting on the curtain fall You say It’s all a waste Fear always burns us with the same flame Your way, it's all a burn I suppose true love aint always my turn

Oh love Well I’m falling long Who’s calling back When you’ve grown so cold Time again I’ve read All your broken breath Oh babe I have got no trace Of where my life begins again I use to know Just how leave it alone I use to know Just where to go But I don’t anymore The coal is a burning soot Theres a canyon where my soul once stood And if this house freezes out I’m not going out to chop up wood Oh love the rain has calmed And I can smell the petrichor Everything I have lifted up Still burns out my steady floor I use to know Just how leave it alone I use to know Just where to go But I don’t anymore Home is an open sea It's a waking dream I’ve never seen But if you’d bring it back from dirt Oh my pacing heart would stop its search I use to know Just how leave it alone I use to know Just where to go But I don’t No I don't anymore

Oh are you listening when I sleep Has the idea left you yet I hold onto every word And I hide from death Found a new kind of love Found a new one Found it under eyes Under lies Well angels come to find us But when this calms we'll all be gone And all this loss can't last for long You feel like heaven stood up and screamed my name But you've cried enough to bend me off my claim Has the idea left you yet I hold onto every word And I hide from death Found a new kind of love Found a new one Found it under eyes Under lies On the nights we cried I feel tall in my mind In my mind Fear comes to mind When the raven calls my time Day by day, death comes closer by And I have a dream Where it's crushing in my teeth I don't know the reasons why Are you listening But in our end What's life come to mend Gnawed to what we want to be Death takes us by the hand And breathes its soft breath in our sleep Has the idea left you yet I hold onto every word And I hide from death Found a new kind of love Found a new one Found it under eyes Under lies Has the idea left you yet I hold onto every word And I hide from death Found a new kind of love Found a new one Found it under eyes Under lies On the nights we cried I feel tall in my mind In my mind

fallen 03:43
The time I saw you last You were cutting up your past The perfect time to talk again And you were calling out You're coming down I feel it in my chest again What comes to form The quiet and the storm I'm tossed but never torn Fooled by the tall The promise of it all I'm too shake to never fall You, hold to the tide The center in your eyes I see it every time You, drown by the tow Our same mother tongue I'll never know which one you're coming from My brackish mind A swollen lie To bleach out in the sun This claustrophobic state A dark conscious space To only overcome You, hold to the tide Your phosphorescent eyes I see 'em every time You, drown by the tow Our same mother tongue I'll never know which one you're coming from And it's hard to stand up tall When I'm crushed by it all It's better that you find a new man I have learned a lesson Go to bed shiver pain Our injured silent self escape The dream that keeps me locked away This passing moon's a sign A crutch or pulling line That leaves it's mark on our way of life

You give me a kiss on the mouth But I still cough my words back down 'N I said, "why are you looking at me that way Is it because I lost my house?" She says it's running beneath my eyes I guess I was a little tired last night 'N I crashed my car into a sign What a way to end the fight Cause when I die I ain't doing it alone And when I die I ain't going home I nearly took what you could never take back Deepening my deepest track 'N she said, "I could lift you up You just have to call me back" And when I die I'm not doing it alone And when I die I ain't going home And when I die I'm not doing it alone And when I die I ain't going home

redempt 03:21
Well I read it wrong Ready to move on I’m already gone Gone gone I’ve rankled on and on Thought that I was half enough But I’m ready to move on Already gone Tempting, to the rising heat Staff in hand, a summoned creed But it never happened to me Lost on me Well I know you’d bring me back Lone batch receiver When the snakes come out Oh, you're shriveled up in doubt
