changing season, changing humor
we were the same but now we don’t feel the water anymore
if it looks better, cut the stem
we have a hole on the roof and we watch fireworks through it
babe, have we given in to the passing of time?
plenty to think about
nothing’s working out
am i supposed to be grim about it?
its not a good sign when you start questioning your shelter
and i’ve never seen these faces in my house
changing season, changing humor
we were the same but now we don’t feel the water anymore
if it looks better, cut the stem
we have a hole on the roof and we watch fireworks through it
babe, have we given in to the passing of time?

Beautiful Useless Thing

lying, filling space
i feel it on my face
i wish that we could stay
but i lose control over fate
i left a trail of crumbs
to find my way back to the place where we're okay
but the insects will come and i know them well
and i know you're afraid of them
i'm not afraid of being alone if you're here with me
i'm not afraid of failing love if you show love to me
i don't wanna be lucky
i just wanna be worthy
i don't wanna be right
i just wanna be good to you
and if i get the chance i'll try and show it better next time
beautiful useless thing

Lift You Up

normally i wouldn’t tell you anything
but you keep me on track baby
and i lift you up
you still feel wrong with me
but you keep me on track baby
and i lift you up
are you drifting away
waiting for me to come over?
hold me to you tight
i felt safe when i saw you
you lean on me and always fall asleep
i close my eyes too, falling asleep with you
hold me to you tight
that’s got to mean something to you
do i still look the same to you
if my mind flies high sometimes?
you keep me on track baby
and i lift you up
(do i still look the same to you?)

i got mad dandruff lately
would you still touch my hair baby would you
i got tinnitus and my head is ringing out
would you still whisper in my ear baby
i lost so much time inside my sheets
would you help me find it baby would you
i still lose myself day to day
would you still look out for me baby
would you would you
i got dreams that i don't wanna give up
would you bear with me?
///
a lack of soil
feel the fresh air beneath my feet
wind blows as i lift my head up to the clouds
gathering all my fears for about two years now
but i'm not afraid of anything if you look high to me
scary times
i found myself
falling in love with you again

The Silence
04:42
|
|||
|
away, come away
come, come undone
don’t you see a bit of you in me?
i got away for days
i won’t complain about your silence
but complain about all the noise outside
sounds they get so tangled up, and then float away
there’s a part of me in you, such a sweet thing (such a sweet thing)
that you’re trying to hide
i won’t be the mistake of yours
just stay and keep me in the silence

Plenty To Do
07:00
|

|
lightning strikes when it rains
when it rains it pours
when it pours i'm all alone
and down i go
scatter my sorrows
i'm fertile ground
i reap what i sow
i grew so fast
now i grow so slow
plenty to do, nothing to do about it
i coalesce in the shapeless form of a cloud
that i've mistaken for the biggest frown
our imagination contains no bounds
wet circles of stone caress my wounds as i hide from crowds
(tears are shy while i'm pressed for time)
we bleed in the same way
heal in mysterious ways
but i hide from my face
until it goes away
it doesn't matter anyway
it's gonna find me anyday now
rain storming in
but nothing comes out
i soak it all in
but it feels like drought
i've been cheating days
leaving smoke trails around
plenty to do, nothing to do about it
it never goes away
no wind in my sails
no train on the rails
in the periphery of everything
