They say that wisdom
Only arrives in time
They say that patience
Is not a virtue of mine
This life won’t be as advertised

Absent Mind
02:41
|
|||
Don’t forget that you’re human
So insignificant in time
And so hard to define
These vines they pull you under
A product of your absent mind
Why so tight and unkind?
No matter how much you shine it, it still has stains
It's just your human nature
To be afraid of what you’ll find
When you quiet your mind
Don’t try to fill what’s left there
You’ll rob the beauty on the other side of despair
No matter how much you shine it, it still has stains

Scars
03:00
|
|||
When we were young
I gave you my heart
To hold in your hand
You nailed it to the floor
And then demanded I stand
And oh it wasn’t enough
But
Someday you will have scars that match my heart
Someday you will have scars that match my heart
Buried under
My floorboards now
You’re rotting away
Some nights I peer down through the crack
See myself in your face
Cause oh it wasn’t enough
But
Someday you will have scars that match my heart
Someday you will have scars that match my heart
Someday you will have scars that match my heart
Someday you will have scars that match my heart

King Kalm
03:39
|
|||
That’s how it goes
You arrive to find the door is closed
And it all falls down
That’s how it goes
So much sadness and you know it’s got nowhere to go
And it all falls down
Lie awake
You wish that you could heal what’s wrong
Gotta find a way
You need a place to be King Kalm
That’s how it goes
Pick at scabs and the wounds will never close
And it all falls down
That’s how it goes
Stare at shadows and believe all the lies you were told
That’s why it all falls down
Lie awake
You wish that you could heal what’s wrong
Gotta find a way
You need a place to be King Kalm
That’s how it goes
Medicate so I don’t have to see the ghosts

Homecoming
04:04
|
|||
Skyline, spruce trees
My mind is the only thing moving
Miracles have been left
For tall tales and big screens
Black snow knee high
I’m standing alone in the street light
Sirens awake art deco sleeping
Maybe it’s a sign
The cold has left me numb
Hit bottom enough times
It starts to feel like home
I have tried to find
A new place to be from
Always come up short
Please don’t leave me New York
Fragments of memories
Dancing around in the debris
A long deathly calm
Whispers the ending
Lies that were shaped
Perched on the fire escape
When I was a muse
Not something you could break
Maybe it’s a sign
The cold has left me numb
Hit bottom enough times
It starts to feel like home
I have tried to find
A new place to be from
Always come up short
Please don’t leave me New York
Please don’t leave me New York
Please don’t leave

The Met
03:37
|
|||
You know that feeling that you get
Sharp sensation in your chest
Some people call it longing
But that doesn’t capture it
At the market down the block
Or the museum on the weekend
Bumping into people but the only person there
Some days crowded spaces feel lonely
Some days they feel ok
Well I’ve been here before
On velvet chaises
And there’s room for one more
My eyes are glazing over
Every single floor
And nothing changes
I’m still really fucking lonely at The Met
Stuck in my head
My belief used to be
A man you’d meet out on the street
Would turn into a partner and a careful father
I’d drop my ticket and
He’d pick it up as if to say
I’ll always find your things before you miss them
Some days crowded spaces feel lonely
Some days they feel ok
Well I’ve been here before
On velvet chaises
And there’s room for one more
My eyes are glazing over
Every single floor
And nothing changes
I’m still really fucking lonely at The Met
Somehow always end up here again
Well I’ve been here before
On velvet chaises
And there’s room for one more
My eyes are glazing over
Every single floor
And nothing changes
I’m still really fucking lonely at The Met
Somehow always end up here again
Ahh
Stuck in my head

Team Sport

She changes like the season
But she’s been stuck on winter and
Puts posters on the ceiling
Of all the places she’s never been
He makes coffee on Saturday
Never adds sugar the way she likes it
But he tries to
River’s deep
Can he cross it?
Dives in
Now it’s on top of him
Will he swim?
He stays here for the tax break
Yet every job he’s had he hates
Up late playing video games
It’s his only real escape
She handles things he doesn’t like to do
But he feels like she’s trying to prove
He’s a loser
She tries not to
River’s deep
Can she cross it?
Dives in
Now it’s on top of her
And it hurts
They’ve lost ground once more
Fighting for the shore
Who knew drowning was a team sport?
They’ve lost ground once more
Fighting for the shore
Who knew drowning was a team sport?
They’ve lost ground once more
Fighting for the shore
Who knew drowning was a team sport?
They’ve lost ground once more
Fighting for the shore
Who knew drowning was a team sport?
They’ve lost the ground once more
They’re fighting for the shore
Why are they keeping score?
Drowning’s a team sport
They’ve lost the ground once more
They’re fighting for the shore
Why are they keeping score?
Drowning’s a team sport

The Ocean
04:40
|
|||
Spending our nights
Passing beneath the pier
I’ve been a drink behind since we were there
Riding that same ride
The one that went upside down
Where you carved this heart in my arm with a pin that you’d found
And you taught me how to swim in the ocean
Pulled me in although I was not prepared
Said you were the one to hold on to
If I was scared
I hung my hopes
On August by the dunes
I guess I thought our footprints would not have moved
Where you taught me how to swim in the ocean
Pulled me in although I was not prepared
Said you were the one to hold on to
If I was scared
If I said how I felt in the ocean
Maybe it’d be me by your side instead
There’s nothing that’s worse than not knowing
What we might have been
So now I’m afraid of the ocean
And the sting of salt that’s still in the air
Guess you’re not the one I hold on to
I lost you there

Kids Like Us
03:31
|
|||
Never knew you, wish I did
Other sisters, they show up to school hand in hand
I’m staring again
Born to people who hid their fears
Whisper softly, “I wish that I could disappear”
We learned not to hear
That look I can't help but see
It finds its way into me
And somewhere in your face I saw
All of our family flaws
Our issues they've become our only bond
Just came to quietly discuss
Still counting on your trust
To promise me you won't have kids like us
Another wedding on the lawn
Caught your eye for barely a moment too long
And then it was gone
Catholic family, never planned
Pass the wine and I feel your eyes on my hands
We're drinking again
That look I can't help but see
It finds its way into me
And somewhere in your face I saw
All of the family flaws
Our issues they've become our only bond
Just came to quietly discuss
Still counting on your trust
To promise me you won't have kids like us
And somewhere in your face I saw
All of our family flaws
Our issues they've become our only bond
Just came to quietly discuss
Still counting on your trust
To promise me you won't have kids like us

Jet Lag
03:11
|
|||
Let’s stay in a hotel
Get a break from this hell
In a different mirror we’ll see ourselves
Remember what it feels like to be well
Use tiny shampoos
Never leave our room
You won’t pretend that you’re too cool
Maybe I won’t feel so bruised
Cause you’re paranoid
And you never let me breathe
And I have destroyed
Every single fucking thing
We used to fly
‘Round the world just for the thrill
Now we’re inside
And have jet lag standing still
If we finally tire
Of suites with subway tile
We can just fly away in style
Run out on the charges we’ve compiled
Look down at our city
From the window, row 3
You’ll take the aisle to stretch your knees
We’ll drop the baggage we won’t need
But you’re paranoid
And you never let me breathe
And I have destroyed
Every single fucking thing
We used to fly
‘Round the world just for the thrill
Now we’re inside
And have jet lag standing still

Run away
Come inside
This ship is filled with strangers
And you’re barely alive
Are you a stowaway
In the night?
The package is marked for transit
Stamped on the inside
Are you content?
Or are you just content?
There’s no way of knowing
What are we doing?
Running late
Never time
Can life be the remainder
Of our addled pride?
Whose turn is it
To stand in the light?
Everyone owns a story
With a market price
Are you content?
Or are you just content?
There’s no way of knowing
What are we doing?
Are you content?
Or are you content?
There’s no way of knowing
What are we doing?

We Run On Empty
03:24
|
|||
Stay awake if you can
I’ll show you the life we can have
I am not the enemy you think I am
You don’t think
I am gonna be there when you break
All of your promises
I’ll be by your side and take the blame
I can learn to swallow it
Stood with our toes in the sand
You drew out the lines of demand
If you leave me I will understand
Cause you don’t think
I am gonna be there when you break
All of your promises
I’ll be by your side and take the blame
I can learn to swallow it
But the only thing you’ll trust is your own madness
Never gonna take it away
You have an emptiness I can understand
Never gonna take it away
I’ve tried in vain to put us back together
But there’s only so much more I can take
I don’t want to be there when you break
(Never gonna take it away)
All of your promises
(You have an emptiness I can understand)
Won’t stay by your side and take the blame
(I’m not able to take that away)
I’ll no longer swallow it
(I’ve tried in vain to put us back together)
I don’t want to be there when you break
(I don’t know why I thought this would change)
All of your promises
(It was always gonna happen)
Won’t stay by your side and take the blame
(There’s only so much more we can take)
I’ll no longer swallow it
(We run on empty)
We run on empty

Fighting Weight
03:48
|
|||
Forgot the sound it makes
When that old door slams closed
Thought I was a man
But now I’m not so sure
Am I completely broken
Or just a clock without a face?
If all that’s left is pride
What’s really left to save?
Help
I’m not at fighting weight
So I'm not fighting today
Hopefully there’s tomorrow
I’ve felt like I’ve been running in place
Trying to get out of my way
Wondering what I’ve become now
This town's not worth a postcard
It barely knows its name
Somewhere I’d forgotten
But it remembers me
That's where I’ve come running
Sing failures like a hymn
Cause I keep burning bridges
Before I've learned to swim
Help
I’m not at fighting weight
I’m still fighting to make
Something I can hold on to
Well I’m not running away
I’m just passing this place
These memories grow old too
