Nothing last forever Let’s see how much we can fit Between our clever responses Between our fingers like gloves knit To warm us in the winter Don’t mind the cold, soon you won’t feel Any more biting, it’s already had its fill I told you so’s and always known’s and so it goes Enemies close and your mouth closed and dirty clothes I’m not remembering right Can’t keep it straight in my mind Can’t keep you alive Can’t tell yours from mine
2.
Comfort 02:25
I tried to memorize your features praying they’d be fine I said your name to God I begged him to make you come tonight Into my room, with my forked tongue Inside my mouth, with my heavy lungs I hope I make you feel as uncomfortable as you make me feel so uncomfortable I hope I make you feel as uncomfortable as you make me feel so uncomfortable I hope I make you feel as uncomfortable as you make me feel
3.
Remind me of the little things The tiny cracks in your ceiling And I’ll fill my hands with offerings Whatever keeps you happy in A city where seasons don’t change They just shake hands and walk away With nothing more than a “hey thanks” Lets raise a glass to civility I’ve been hanging around here I’ve been hanging around and around and around In a dream where I think I’m awake I washed myself for forty days But the dirt’s not coming off of me Soiled in this apathy And I keep saying it’s the last time I keep saying I’ve finally got it right Remind me of the little things The tiny voices inside of me With their simple answers to everything
4.
Fall 03:32
I hope Adam and Eve drank coffee together after the fall And laughed at their silly decisions, kissed on the floor And if I get to heaven and I don’t see your face Well I’ll clip my wings and use my halo to dig to the other place No I don’t think I’ll be back I finally flew away And somewhere was lost your former lover’s former face I found a blank canvas, it was too beautiful to paint So I hung it in a gallery, said here’s your past and here’s your fate Just want to wander off, wish they’d all stop staring at me Wave goodbye, there’s nothing left here to see All my friends are getting older, we’ve all begun to fade away I hoped tomorrow would be golder, but the forecast says it’ll be gray So I hold on tight, I don’t want to be blown away
5.
Hands 03:04
“Just a shape to fill the lack” The sounds our mouths keep making Awake before the crash, We don’t notice what we’re breaking No I don’t think we do I don’t think we do You feel like winter’s cold at night when I’m walking home through things that I’ll never know found in public opinion It’s circumstantial evidence, it’s inconvenient circumstance, it’s all the things we’ll never have And my lack of interest I’m getting so tired of all of this I don’t even know what it is Something I saw as a kid In a place that won’t exist Not with middle management and hands only waving I remember
6.
Small 02:36
Take all your parts and pieces and spread them on the floor Forced shapes and bent corners, you don’t look like much at all I’ve been living in photographs, I’ve been hiding in dreams I had Now I’m scarred from kneeling down to false gods Dirty cuts I never got the chance to clean up You were better when you were small I was better when I was small
7.
Shelter 02:03
I don’t hate you like I wanted to I can’t love you like I thought I could It goes to show just what happens between an impulse and a screen I saw you in a burst of light, you faded right before my eyes Now we write these songs in memory of things we used to be Sheltered now in our private places Strangers now, we just know each other a bit too well You were someone I thought about, now an old abandoned house the neighborhood kids gather round to try and knock your windows out And I guess we’re better off this way You held me so I couldn’t leave Caught up in some thin retreat
8.
Enemy 02:54
I won’t say anything Silent weeds strangle baby trees I’ll take for granted everything I don’t want to be your enemy You’ve got a sharp tongue You cut me open I’ll drown in this blood The one I came from It’s never enough For the things that we’ve done The things that we love I won’t say anything Broken branches of our misery Tell me again how I’m failing I don’t want to be your enemy
9.
Sinning Tree 03:05
I like your backbone Because I’ve never had one Through cracks in the floor I’m trying to be someone Come dissect me Do it gently Wonder what we’ll see spilling on the floor Oh I know, I know, it’s been a long time coming with so long to go And all the things you’ve taken have been given freely There’s no one awake What’s left after the storm A wake Bodies we’re just keeping warm Take me lightly, I might say something I mean Now that I’m at the table I’m not hungry I’m so full of everything I name you sympathy I name you Sinning Tree I name you everything grown so deep inside of me A hungry mouth to feed
10.
Ryd 03:21
Wash out my memories I’m feeling heavy, get me Drunk off Lethe I can pay the fair Now we’re so hungry Begging to leave You came to get me Turned back, no one was there We were so innocent So well intentioned Now our pennies are spent getting places you don’t visit The sun’s always burning gray I’m waiting to fade away Content to say I’m losing interest I guess I thought you would’ve been here No I’m not losing interest You should have been here
