Burden

I don't want to be a burden.
I don't want to be uncertain.
I don't want to be the problem -
you look away from the moment you wake.
My friends got it all figured out.
They're going places and they're saving for a house.
I'm still struggling to move out -
out of their ways,
with my childish little faiths.
Don’t risk running around -
everybody’s safe and sound.
You’re sleeping in a ghostly town -
Do you feel better now?
I don't need to be all certain.
You’ll make up for all that wasn't.
So let’s finish off this bottle and walk away,
cause cool guys don’t look at
explosions anyway.

Correspondence
03:08
|
|

Would you hide our correspondence?
Keep it under wraps.
These words that meant nothing at best.
If she were to find out,
would she punch your lights out?
Come back.
Light falls over boney sofa,
tired necks and heavy heads.
Say what you want,
and leave out all the rest.
Let’s play pretend,
that there is nothing beyond these walls.
Let’s wage a war.
If she were to find out,
if she punch your lights out.
Come back.
Living in suspension,
raise suspicions.

Dead Arm

My dead arm will never forget,
the crescent of your neck,
and the pressure on my bed.
Oh what a mess we've made, of late.
A side glance and a sleight of hand.
If the movie's ending then we’ve just began.
So tell me I’m right,
if only for one time.
Right about us.
Right for you.
If we close all this distance,
will you find all the cracks in my reasoning,
and a lacking in my silence.
A side glance and a sleight of hand.
Am I overthinking just what it meant?
So tell me I’m right,
if only for one time.
Right about us.
Right for you.
For this is -
a right to remember,
and a right to forget.
For we have -
a right to be remembered,
and a right to be forgotten.

Together
02:51
|
|

If I get my shit together,
we can bash our bodies together.
If I piece it all together,
We can be alone together.
Wouldn’t that be nice?
Wouldn’t that be comforting at night?
There’s no now and then forever,
there’s only now and after.
Throw yourself into the water,
have you found just what you’re after?
I hope it would be nice.
I hope it keeps you company at night.
Wouldn’t that be right?
Wouldn’t that be worth the fight?
What do you have to offer?
For a taste of forever?
Clasp your hands together -
feel the beat of another.

Appeal
03:06
|
|
||
|
Keep wanting to feel,
as if nothing is real.
I'm not saying you will,
but I get the appeal.
Cause I would want out,
I would want out,
I would want out.
Feeling rather spent,
I would want out,
I would want out.
Still trying my luck,
getting my head unstuck.
"You're expecting too much,
you'd just set yourself up -
for disappointment,
for dizziness and a head full of weakness."
Cause now I want out,
I would want out,
I would want out.
Cause who would want to spend another
minute, another day,
with another drunk,
with nothing to his name.
Cause who would want to spend another
minute, another day,
with another drunk,
who is going by my name.

Blue

When I saw you on the watershed,
did I think to ask again?
Then I saw all the empty cans,
building up like a giant map.
What is up?
What is down?
Got your bearings turned around.
Shed our dreams and go to bed,
wake up with an empty head.
Hey Blue I knew you were bad,
but you were the best from them.
What is up?
What is down?
Got your bearings turned around.
Fix it up.
Fix it down.
You've been fixed all around.
But so long as it hurts you will crave for that sound,
of a lover's footstep,
reminding you that she's around.

Are you safe in your sleep?
Or does the same feeling creep,
down the small of your back.
Do you stir in your sleep?
When the same feeling creep,
up the curve of your neck.
Who is this you're sleeping with?
And do they know what they’re dealing with?
Aren't we all in the same mess?
And so I don’t make a sound,
wait for the wind to turn you around.
And so I don’t make a sound.
Lie awake, and wait for it to begin.
Again, and I'm the same, just the same, same old mistake.
Are you safe in your sleep?
Or does the same feeling creep,
down the small of your back.
Out of sight, out of mind.
I called your name, you heard mine.
Aren’t we all in the same mess?
And so I don’t make a sound,
wait for the wind to turn you around.
And so I don’t make a sound.
Lie awake, and wait for it to begin.
Again, and I'm the same, just the same, same old mistake.
