Emily it’s not you
But it might be the lengths that you drive me to
I’ve been trying to read your mind
Trying to read your mind
But clarity’s been hard to find
Since I started circling this rotary
You’ve been trying to set me free
Trying to set me free
Delight, delight, delight, delight, delight
In your light I am ascending
Deny, deny, deny, deny, deny
On your light I am depending
But it’s not my honor you’re defending
It’s not my honor you’re defending
Emily, it’s not you
But it might be those teeth that you’re lying through
I’m sick of trying to read your mind
Trying to read your mind
Delight, delight, delight, delight, delight
In your light I am ascending
Deny, deny, deny, deny, deny
On your light I am depending
But it’s not my honor you’re defending
It’s not my honor you’re defending

Teardrops in the Ocean
04:31

If only the miles were fewer
Then that would be today’s excuse for me to see you
But baby just talk to me
Whatever the mood that threw you
Whatever silly things your mind’s been telling to you
Pour it all onto me
Baby just talk to me
Just follow the flow of the conversation
Diving deep into this agitation
Feel the saltwater on your skin
Feel it healing from within
In no time this will feel
Like a teardrop in the ocean
I’m rising to the occasion
Your silences have built a reputation
Baby just talk to me
Just follow the flow of the conversation
Diving deep into this agitation
Feel the saltwater on your skin
Feel it healing from within
In no time this will feel
Like a teardrop in the ocean

Witty Future Diss
02:55
|
|||
|
Walking around carving a witty future diss
To cut you down to make you flinch
Suffer lightly for the wrong you did
You never felt much pain, much grief
A kindness of the way you chose to understand things
Indifference like a pebble in your chest
That kept you from any honest happiness
Even if love was falling through the cracks
I didn’t give my all but you didn’t give it back
The minute you were bare
You laughed and changed the mood
Didn’t know the words to tell the truth
It hurt me in a way nothing else could do
The absence of the respect i gave you
Indifference like a pebble in your chest
That kept you from any honest happiness
Even if love was falling through the cracks
I didn’t give my all but you didn’t give it back
So we came away even and bruised
Nursing different wounds, we were always bound to lose
What was each of us trying to prove
Indifference like a pebble in your chest
That kept you from any honest happiness
Even if love was falling through the cracks
I didn’t give my all but you didn’t give it back

How to Reach Me
03:23
|
|||
|
We met on the first day in August
An unfurnished apartment we were to share
You smiled up from the floor
I just shut the door and left you there
I saw it clearly nobody near me
A month alone on the shoreline
A suffering I could stand if it was part of some grand design
I wish it were all
So easy
Solid as the ground beneath me
Oh you never knew how to reach me
We took our lunch on the deck
Watched the seagulls circle and dive into the bay
Your camera around your neck
You would hold your breath and wait and wait
With every call from home I felt more alone
drifting further away
With every day that passed I just wish you’d asked
I wish you’d thought to say
Roadrunner
Slow down enjoy the summer
All we need is each other
I see you
Fading into the rearview
Oh I never knew how to reach you
Walked out the door at one in the morning
The sun still setting the spit so quiet
Aboard our bikes we whooped and hollered
Losing every word to the windy night
Though I didn’t know it I needed a home
And you carved one for me out of driftwood
Though I didn’t know it I needed a friend
And you were just doing the best you could
So easy
Solid as the ground beneath me
Now you know how to reach me
I’ll repeat it
Until the next time I see you
Until I know how to reach you

Sleep/Fallacy
02:20
|
|||
|
Some days there sit in dust
Some days there's two of us
Some days we're waiting up
For want of sleeping
Sleep until the sun comes out
Sleep until I can do without
Sleep until I forget about it
And in my anxiety I stop listening
And in your anxiety you stop listening
And am I fallacy I stop listening

Balancing Act
03:15
|
|||
|
Crossed the ocean at twenty five
Brave enough to be alive
Pickup truck countrysides
Roadside nights highway drive-bys
Born of being new in places
Open heart, no erasers
Looking forward looking back
Soft rubber tire tracks
Life is short so go wherever you please
Life is hard so hold your love tightly
It’s a balancing act
When to go, when to come back
Traces left on the dining table
Talking when we’re able
Folded picture in my wallet
Shut the door and lock it
Holes in my logic aren’t mistakes
They’re allowances I calculate
For the life I choose to make myself
For the risks I will take
Life is short so go wherever you please
Life is hard so hold your love tightly
It’s a balancing act
When to go when to come back
It’s a balancing act
When to go when to come back

Lines
03:16
|

Reading the lines
Etched in your palm
Plotting the path of the stars
Pinned to your bedroom wall
I too choose to believe
In things that I’ve never seen
Dim fading dreams and
The lies we tell ourselves
And the lies we tell each other
The world is wider than the path is straight
Lines in the road
Cast no shadow
How am I supposed to know
What am I meant to follow?
I want to be where you are
Even when it doesn’t make sense
Even if it means accepting all
The lies we tell ourselves
And the lies we tell each other
Whatever gets you through the day
All the lies we tell ourselves
To stay close to one another
I don’t know if there’s any other way

Ashes

The ashes
Accumulating on my mattress
As the weeks keep coming about
I'm burning out
I'm burning out
Holding it steady for my mother
On the other side of the line
I'm doing fine
I'm doing fine
Stirring the embers come December
I'll be back to the heat of life
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm still alive
Sometimes that rubs me the wrong way
Sometimes it gets out a spark
My body shivers as her loving touch
Conducts me away from it all
Ready to fall
Ready to fall
But even pleasure suddenly feels guilty
Stolen from whoever I was
And that's just because
That's just because
Cause I'm burning out
I’m burning out
I’m burning out
I’m burning out
I’m lighting up
I’m keeping cool
I’ve had enough
I’m coming down
I’m caving in
I’m crawling out
Under my skin
Holding my breath
Blowing off steam
Trying my best
Not to be seen
I’m burning out
I’m lighting up
I’ve had enough
I’ve had enough

If I Could
03:18
|

|
If I could
Tell you the truth
I would tell you everything you wanted to know
If I could
Tell you the truth
I would do it
Nice and slow
But I’m lying to myself
To the concrete diamonds of your eyes
That fill my lips with rubies
Glitter and lies
Glitter and lies
On this busy street corner
A million nights
Red and white pass us by
Why would I try?
If I could
Tell you the truth
I would tell you everything you wanted to know
If I could
Tell you the truth
I would do it
Nice and slow
But I’m staying up too late
Waiting for the sun
Fingers to your face
Tracing grooves until you're gone
Bathroom tiled mornings after
Like every sublime disaster
Why would I end it faster?
If I could
Tell you the truth
I would tell you everything you wanted to know
If I could
Tell you the truth
I would do it
Nice and slow

Sun So Low
02:59
|

|
Sun so low in the sky
I’ve been trying to let beauty just be
Wait for it patiently
If anybody asks
They can find me standing still and silent
By the ballfields in the evening
Each moment is another chance
To be turned into something new
But each moment passes and I stay static
I don’t know how to break through
Through the crowd of the voices lewd and loud
I hold out for reply from the
Sun so low in the sky
Day is ending
I'm still right here where you left me
With a statue’s frozen smile

Beauty Is Free
03:00
|

Beauty is free
Beauty is free
My greatest fear
Is not to feel the rain
My greatest fear
Is not to hear the sound of you saying
Beauty is free
Beauty is free
Por não saber
Ver tudo o que esta por vir
Espero poder
Decidir
Beauty is free
Beauty is free
