River _ Sing
02:53
|
|
||

I woke up to sing along to the river thats rising
I fucked up and lied about it then shouted this is the new me
One sad day, I will walk away
I’ll go back to my job where the rivers there waiting for me
singing to me “Go Home”
So I’ll go home to sing along to the river thats rising
One sad day I’ll go home to sing along

Who Said
03:11

Who said, Lets all draw lots ?
We lie in bed all day and scream as our bodies rot
I can’t remember my last quiet thought
I lie in bed all day and scream as my body rots
“This whole town is going to Hell”
Oh look, a new billboard is up
now we know what we’re made of
What are those creatures that you’ve been hearing
are you still living in fear of what's on the next screen
come on lets talk, and walk. and digress our thoughts
great expectations won’t help you see
great expectations won’t set you free

You Said
03:54
|
|

|
After I learned, I turned and walked away
Knowing all paths lead to the same place
And I’ve been there before
Just like I’ve sung this song before
Then you said, “I never thought I’d feel this way.”
After I learned, I burned all of my things
And pushed the ash inside my veins to conceal all of the pain
But the pain grew, and the shame grew, then my hope turned away
Then you said, “I never thought I’d feel this way.”

Our Lives
04:23
|
|
||
|
Don’t talk
Don’t open up
Breathe deeply, hold it in
We’ve heard this one before
We’ve heard this all before
Our lives all burnt up
Falling backwards, giving in
We’ve never felt this way before

Daily Surrender
02:19
|
|
||
|
What’s that I’m doing with my hands again
Am I counting sheep or am I splitting at the seams
Daily surrender won't you oblige me please
Fond thoughts of candle lit walks through half remembered dreams
asleep amidst the trees. lying down and looking up to where they meet
daily surrender, won’t you oblige me please

Some Place
04:38
|
|

Alone and walking home
Afraid of my own shadow
My feet drag on the ground
Do I still have a place to go?
We spoke in code just because, just for fun, just for love
Stoned and home alone
with no more chemicals to get
Rolling on the floor
past lives being reborn
Do I still have a place to go?
Alone again
Walking home again
Afraid of whats on my own street
All my things dragging behind me
Do I still have a place to go
We spoke in code just because, just for fun, just for love
Drunk on the town
Unashamed and unafraid
touching? or funny
whats the strangest thing your sheets have ever seen
oh well, I’m walking home again

Black & Blue
03:00
|
|
||
|
Said I had a heart of gold
but you don’t make black gold dear
you don’t make black gold
Said I had the softest touch
but I will make you bruise dear
I will make you blue
Black and blue
So bury me deeply, so I can’t see a thing
so I can’t see anything I’m told I need or need to be
clean and care for me
remove the dirt form my lungs
mend and tend to me
piece me back how I belong
I belong
and I thought about the things I want to say but won’t
and I thought about the way you smiled when you woke

I’m trying to view this from a gentle perspective
If you can right a wrong, then why would you neglect it

River _ Rise
02:31
|
|
||
|
What’s a feeling?
What’s a dream?
why can’t I feel anything?
when the river rises, try and rise with it
Step into the water my friend
Swim down to the floor
When things get too dark and deep
just know I can’t pull you ashore
but when the river rises, try and rise with it
For 7 years, you sung this song
One sad day I will wash away
One sad day all I’ve known and loved will wash away
