The Lore
02:22
|
|||
Gliding around you float on air
Foot on the slate it’s slippery there
Telling you stories every sight
Counting the years that can’t be right
Feeling like spring in winters hair
You never mind or seem to care
Ghosts of my past and several paths
So many falls loves didn’t last
But here we’ve got lore
It’s made of bricks and older tricks
You didn’t account for
Here we’ve got lore
Where giant cups were shattered once
And taken into stores
Here we’ve got your lore
Opening several books of mine
See all the writing different times
You were just floating round the square
Didn’t know we’d be settled here
Feeling like spring yellow buds bloom
You never look up, Birds Eye view
Ghosts of my past and several paths
So many levels that we cracked
But here we’ve got lore
It’s made of bricks and older tricks
You didn’t account for
Here we’ve got lore
Where giant cups were shattered once
And taken into stores
Here we’ve got your lore

Sweet Gums
03:36
|

sweet gums turn to palms I feel Spanish moss on my arms
Telephone wires cross i know these are times that I've lost
Love drifts in a few doors fragments of my life before
and why would I, decide to come "home?"
and why can't I connect I’m alone
I see them all line up in a row
Born to die my small town woes
and so i move to major tones
Old rooms with new color sea blue makes the walls seem smaller
Billboards line the highway snake oil sell it buy it my way
green piers soaked in neon flashing signs of where i once belonged
Tell me fourteen teller, can you save this town from me?
and why would I, decide to come "home?"
and why can't I connect I’m alone
I see them all line up in a row
Born to die my small town woes
and so i move to major tones

Was I On Your Mind?
03:14
|

I don't know what your running from
but you're right here in my mind stay from time to time
I don't know what you see in her
Was it the way that she laid in your bed at night?
And all I hear across the dessert the sky
Are regrets and more recent a bitter lullaby
It's black and white the way the setting sun
Lowers and it's over once more and then you're gone
Was I on your mind?
Can you feel it no?
Empty hole in your soul can you fill it no?
Is it true what she did to you
Changed you in ways shapeshifting day to day
Is it true what you're going through
She'll catch up real soon play that victim card real soon
And all I hear across the dessert the sky
Are regrets and more recent a bitter lullaby
It's black and white the way the setting sun
Lowers and it's over once more and then you're gone
Was I on your mind?
Can you feel it no?
Empty hole in your soul can you fill it no?

Circuit Love
03:31

Heavy words little surge
Feeling high and it hurts
When I’m with you it’s electric
Add it up count it all
There were days they were long
And when you speak it feels so hectic
But if I was a current
Flowing right over you
Heavy we didn’t know
Lighting up the blues
And I’ll always feel this way for you you know it’s true the stars are lighting up we’re looking at the moon
And I feel it it in bones you know it’s atoms too
You and I illuminate a lovely hue
Yelling loud make a noise
You’re a force use your voice
Tell me what it is you want now
Add it up count it all
Longer days radiant sun
You were mine before I met ya

Two Too
01:57
|

We’re walking down our route we do it every day we do at least the days you’re able to because you’re mostly gone
You punch the clock again a golden handcuff holds you then you come back to the table where I’m strung out singing along
I need somebody to validate my state and tell me when to talk or walk and what to say or eat but let me keep
My independence I’ll push you round my plate appreciate the mental deload of a toddler state
Doo doo doo
Another morning now it’s piling up the chores like how to caffeinate and hydrate at the very same time
You slow to wake it always me so irate working a nocturnal state midnight mind is like your kind
mountains of half finished chores just throw them on the floor some more you come back to the take where I’m singing this song

Broken Broke FL
02:44
|
|||
Those sunny days we used run, those sunny days we had some fun.
Broken down broke in Florida
Broken down chain-smoking Florida
Everything I’m writing used to come out strong
Feelings and reeling lovers stringing along
Is it that I’m stable or you’re just too nice?
I’m little cracked not everyones got a vice
Tiny little boxes mostly blue and white
Suburbia is different than the old campsite
Drink the Malt with Hemingway on daddy’s card
My fake ID kicked out of the bar
Those sunny days we used run, those sunny days we had some fun.
But that was in Florida
Sleeping eyes open in a jet lagged world
You go to India come back a sicker girl
Is it that we’re different maybe all the same?
Drink the water babe and they’ll call you insane
Steal a street sign for a little high
What’d we even do with all that time?
We say we’re grown up but got a teddy bear
Holding on tight to childhood years
Yelling at the ghosts on the corner at night
We’re not afraid, exes are the real fright
Is it that I’m stable or you’re just too nice?
I’m little cracked not everyones got a vice
Those sunny days we used run, those sunny days we had some fun.
But that was in Florida

Forces and Motion
02:38
|
|||
I’m watching you from the kitchen
You never ask for permission
Push and pull all my nerves
I unravel for you
I’m worried that I’m not present
Distract my mine so innocent
Left and right oh you dance
I go dizzy for you
It’s just forces and motion we balance we try to hold on and on and on
You’re watching me on the tight rope
Feels like I’m always wobbling low
Sway around oh we sway
We fall into the breeze
You worry on about lava
I hear your mind so on so alive
Up and down oh you jump
I keep you safe in my arms
It’s just forces and motion we balance we try to hold on and on and on

Cooked Bones
02:14
|

I’ve got crooked bones
In my shoulders so
I lean a little bit more just onto you
I lose everything
Shoes, and rings and keys
You always find them if i ask you please
And I broke my nose
Never breathe just right
You swear it doesn’t make me snore at night
That’s how it goes
see my faults accept them whole
Won't you stay with me till we grow old?
You talk in your sleep
Say the craziest things
When you wake we laugh about your dreams
You’ve forget to close
Kitchen cabinets so
I shut them when your back is turned to me
You were right about so many things
I won't admit to that, that's mine to keep

Ghost Hunting
02:53
|
|||
remember when we drove, country roads
we were looking for ghosts
it was you and me, didn't find a thing
just some memories that i keep with me
it was both of us then, with wanderlust
loved to hate on our town
stand out from the crowd with our indie sounds
we wore our egos down
and i know, the things we said they meant so much
we kicked and really punched
against the truth - it always knocked
we were fighting it
never giving in
we were fighting it
it was violent
we were fighting it
we were soldiers in our minds
remember jumping in, dark ocean
we were daring to swim
it was 2 am you grabbed my hand
when the undertow began to roll
didn't see it all no, the red hot flags
it was different then
get back to the sand, where we try again
to let our bodies rest
and i know, the things we said they meant so much
we fought and kicked and really punched
against the truth that had always knocked
we were fighting it
never giving in
we were fighting it
it was violent
we were fighting it
we were soldiers in our minds

Coffee's Cold
02:43

The coffees cold and it’s every night
Nine pm seems to take its time
The boys are up, singing to the day
Six am an early matinee
Let the dog out, look at the moon
One of us more gray we got time to lose
And I don’t know
When I became my parents that I watched as I would grow
And I don’t know
How to speed the hours up but make years go slow
The house is calm, everyone’s in bed
I wonder how long they’ll let me kiss their heads
Breathe it in, the silence too stale
Look at the videos you took of them instead
Let the dog out, look up at the moon
Stay up late, another version of you
And I don’t know
When I became my parents I watched as I would grow
Don’t know
How to speed the hours up but make the years go slow
Don’t know no I don’t know
No I don’t know
Kick the walls hear a little voice
Yelling for me it’s the only choice
Ask to do it all by yourself
So damn long but it’s fine I guess
Let the dog out look at the moon
One of us more grey we got time to lose

Highlight Reel
01:48
|
|||
I’m looking at your eyes they’re not like mine, they shine a bit refract a rainbow light
Im singing to you all the words at once
a melody of nonsense in five months
I know we’ve got some time but not enough
When I’m gone you’ll sing and carry on
Oh you make it all feel
Every single day is a highlight reel
No it’s not a fair deal
Watch it unfold get old and reveal
This time
