Low Lights 04:45
lyrics
buy track
Is this sky the one I pray? Open, wide above the land Are my questions on their way? On their way to meet an end Low lights in a blaze There lies our flame I’m spinning up and down Inside a wind I cannot breathe The words I’m trying to read Are on a page I cannot see All the peace we’re going to fake How much is it going to take? Tear apart, crush it all Grieve for you What good is it going to do? Dive below, step aside Let you hear The voice you’re hiding Low lights in a blaze There lies our flame I’m spinning up and down Inside a wind I cannot breathe The words I’m trying to read Are on a page I cannot see In the blaze See the light in the blaze I cannot see

Empty Spaces 05:04
lyrics

Every single brick we laid To build our cherished homes And every star the eye can catch So far I’ll never touch All the pieces we’re made of They push and pull all day We’re made of empty spaces, dear We spend our lives to fill Sensations I don’t try Can’t teach me how to feel While each and every cry Means something here is real The times our eyes can touch And make the daylight dim They may not mean that much If we’re just clouds of steam Delete my anxiety If something can be Then something will be Remind me that I need to breathe Because I can’t cease No I will not cease To be Every single brick we laid To build our cherished homes And every star the eye can catch So far I’ll never touch All the pieces we’re made of They push and pull all day We’re made of empty spaces, dear We spend our lives to fill See, those sparkles, how they glow Like chalk drawings on a stone Lose perspective as they grow Bringing light upon your clones All those versions of you, though Couldn’t get where you belong Know the things only you saw You’re tangible, so valuable Inside your cone Every single brick we laid To build our cherished homes And every star the eye can catch So far I’ll never touch All the pieces we’re made of They push and pull all day We’re made of empty spaces, dear We spend our lives to fill All the roads I’ve ever walked The faces that I’ve worn Now grey and torn The hopes that didn’t fly The days of my decline But they’re my own

Someone To Blame 04:24
lyrics
buy track
I bite And I claw I used to walk away from fights Just not anymore I used to stay cool And don’t really care But nowadays a feeble spark Becomes the brightest flare How did I end up being myself? How can I get back to being myself again? How did I end up being myself? How can I get back to being myself again? I never really got close To wisdom anyway And maybe my patient self Is just some touchy prick Looking for someone to blame Was I just looking Looking for someone to blame? Was I just looking Looking for someone to blame? Each and every day Makes me swerve Closer to the wall As I lose control And try harder and harder To stick myself down Back in a whole Back in a whole How did I end up being myself? How can I get back to being myself again? How did I end up being myself? How can I get back to being myself again? I know I’m feeling something That makes me ashamed I know I’ve got impulses I cannot tame Will I be alone again Alone again, in the end? I won’t be here again I won’t be here again I can’t be here again I never really got close To wisdom anyway And maybe my patient self Is just some touchy prick Looking for someone to blame Was I just looking Looking for someone to blame? Was I just looking Looking for someone to blame?

Look With You 04:14
lyrics
buy track
You know the rules Each and every digression Turns on this contraption Feeling like a fool Thoughts are starting to rot From their very conception Like a tide Submerging you Haze-stuffed pies Still smell so good Around and around it goes Taking you for a walk Too scared to let it go And way too confused To understand it’s never going to work And thinking over and over And over again Over the same bunch of words You wonder if you could Restart your brain Would you still run this engine On the same old rail? Would it bring some kind of a New perspective? Maybe this is just you being Too reflective If everything that you wanted Is stopping this river flowing over you Maybe all that you needed Is someone telling you she’ll look with you No more desires Or opinions Stroking your grey hair Weaving all the thread That coils you If everything that you wanted Is stopping this river flowing over you Maybe all that you needed Is someone telling you she’ll look with you

Get Out Of Me 04:34
lyrics

I gotta get out of me I gotta get out of me Please help me get out of me I gotta get out of me I gotta get out of me Please Please help me get out of me There are still days That make me kind of feel As if my dusty arms Were made of steel (And) find an appeal Some other days I just follow the clues To find the calm That I’ve always refused I gotta I gotta get out of me Please Please help me get out of me There are still days When I can find a place To paint the time I’ve got Without the haste Without my haste Some other days I just won’t leave the ground And every thought keeps going Round and round (I) just can’t feel Fine in me And all I want Is ghosting out of town Allow my brain to rest And shut it down And shut it down Please help me get out Please help me get out Please help me get out of me

Sink My Teeth 05:12
lyrics
buy track
Step aside, do you mind? I’ve been rushing a bit But I may use a break To wipe off my smile How can I keep on trying While the most of my days Have now faded in haze And have passed me by If time could be broken I’d eat every minute I could chew My teeth would be sinking Inside the white mist I call “you” Feeling stuck, out of luck Focus on going along With the place I belong And every string I plucked And all the people I’ve met, my regrets Things I wanted to do Every fear I went through All the love I’ve been blessed All the love I’ve been blessed If time could be broken I’d eat every minute I could chew My teeth would be sinking Inside the white mist I call “you” How can anything that’s mine Fit into its rightful place Where everything alings? And could my brain, my heart, my taste Make someone else feel fine Fill up his empty space? If time could be broken I’d eat every minute I could chew My teeth would be sinking Inside the white mist I call “you” If time could be broken I’d eat every minute I could chew My teeth would be sinking Inside the white mist I call “you”

Dear Walls 04:52
lyrics
buy track
When winter freezes (There’s) So little light around So many types of white I could never count White glows so hard It makes the peaks shine in the night And every mountain knows a name She will keep inside The smell of wood Eyes gazing through the stars A cat is looking down Too lazy to jump Our words run fast So many others wait in line Waiting to float in a midsummer breath By the riverside Take care, dear walls Watch the souls That taught me How to feed my own Evenings are warm Incense smoke fills the air Lying sparse on the couch Traces of flour and ash Nine-thousand dawns Forever lighting up my mind Nine-thousand sunsets heating up the skies High above my cries Take care, dear walls Watch the souls That taught me How to feed my own

Sane 04:07
lyrics
buy track
I keep having troubling thoughts Intruding in my sleep Aggressive fantasies That make this climb so steep A couple thousand pointy marbles Rolling up my back (into my head) Like a trail for pitch black mites That come to plant their flag (on my back, on my back) Still I cannot understand Am I crazy? Am I sane? There’s something inside my mind That makes it hard to say So many times I can’t really tell If people fuck with me Should I be put in a cage Is it safe when I’m free? This last couple years I really lost track of myself Sometimes I’m a fish Sometimes I am just a shell I spent so many hours Diving deep to find a crown But all that I’ve got Is I’ve managed not to drown Not to drown Still I cannot understand Am I crazy? Am I sane? There’s something inside my mind That makes it hard to say So many times I can’t really tell If people fuck with me Should I be put in a cage Is it safe when I’m free?

Under Crystal Domes 06:12
lyrics

Learn how to play Which games are ok Use only one type of clay Don’t touch their clothes Keep off their bones Or you’re gonna get some curse Life under crystal domes Marble pedestals No one could call home Speak in the name of ghosts Sorry I won’t comply Could I care less I’d die Swim to the distant isles Behold the waves Let them rest inside your eyes The sea is not running dry If words are weak And can’t picture all its might Dust settled here for years Bright white turned to gray Sterile words you pray Still I can’t get these claims Sacrilegious thoughts Towards pointless oaths Swim to the distant isles Behold the waves Let them rest inside your eyes The sea is not running dry If words are weak And can’t picture all its might Come, the sun’s too hot I need water, I need wind This beach makes me so glad ‘Cause I’m free, I’m the sea Swim to the distant isles Behold the waves Let them rest inside your eyes The sea is not running dry If words are weak And can’t picture all its might

Sew 04:51
lyrics

Kiss my eyes As I go I’ll say hello To the us Who never let our smell Out of the bed I’d tell them life Is so bright But they already know Because they can call Their pores by their name And each day’s the same For them, for us Let me sew My days on yours Let our legs forget How to walk Let your hours Trip over mine And guide us somewhere They’ll never find Let the shape Of your sleep Be my refuge From every sound And every look That’s not from you And as I walk Into the unknown With a heart of stone Still you keep me home Still I know I’m home Let me sew My days on yours Let our legs forget How to walk Let your hours Trip over mine And guide us somewhere They’ll never find
