golden times
01:18

take me back to those golden times
to the photographs, I didn't snap
now this wicked brain threw it all away
something spilled and stained
those memories
but isn't that the consequence
of thinking it'll happen again
well, never again
|

please don't ask the question
"what are you avoiding?"
I just can't make a sound
with my ears plugged
my eyes shut
and my mouth clenched
in a pause so big
I feel it suck me in
I don't mean
to bring you down
when I feel like a tear
in a room of clowns

Thorn Pt.2
02:37
|
|||
|
turned away from that faceless silence
to face a regret
bigger than yourself
"it's not fair!" you say
time and time again
and one more time
to really drive it home
all alone those thoughts
are slowly biting
to stick in somewhere
with depth and hearth
a wealth to keep them satisfied
in your mind all those shapeless beasts
come'a rappin
without thinking twice you let them in
all too cavalier
here comes the long walk
your arms are swaying
and on that long thought
your feet keep moving
no one's gonna tell you what to think
no one came here to tell you what to think
I know that it's not perfect, but you gotta keep it cool

backtracking made easy
02:15
|
|||
|
after much careful consideration
I've decided to reprise my role as the victim
it's like crawling out of the pit
turning around and jumping in
that's backtracking made easy
in just a few steps
I can't recognize myself in all my old clothes
so the Goodwill bag is overflowing
is my cup running over or am I just spilling?
I don't know

can we turn it off tonight?
and please leave it be for a little while
I'll be comfortable if I let it lie
but I can't help but feel my voice is trying
it's drying up from the substance I thought it was
was it understated?
I broke the mug
I shattered the cup
filled up my mouth
with my hands on the ground
I'm naked to the demons
that live in my house
can't you see the world for what its become?

holding up the line
02:43
|
|||
|
there's no looking back
I'm holding up the line
lose your place go to the end
lean into that indecision
act now or don't
stay tuned, stay put
watch the sun move across the room
touching everything
I'm in the shadows trying to say
that it's just shade
|

can we turn it all around?
I know that it's a choice
so much easier said than felt
but look at me in the mirror
that's not who i was back when
talked it out inside my head
stretched my legs and felt my breathe
slowly change is slow
real change moves slowly
i wanna walk me home
i love the sunlight in the shower
in the calm of the day
walking out into the world
feel the movement of all things
doing laundry
eating fruit
drinking coffee all alone
reading spark notes to the books
i mean to read but never do
i wanna be so desperately to be
the friend i always need
slowly change is slow
real change moves slowly
i wanna walk me home

traded time
02:16
|
|||
|
i found a hair stuck in my mouth
it went on down my throat
i tried my best to hack it up
but couldn't so i chocked
what a funny destiny
to grow on me
then end up back inside of me
sold an old thing
bought a new thing
i know i own nothing
my body is an old thing
disguised as a new thing
dodging entropy
i traded time its flipping by
on loan from omega to alpha
and beyond
what is beyond?
will i know anyone
who can help me
settle into beyond?

you're in luck

the world is fucked
but you're in luck
cause i love you
i think about you night and day
even when you're far away
i care about you
so lets take a walk
and talk it out if you want to
but if you'd rather sit still
well that's chill too
listen to me closely
no matter where you've been
or what's in your head
you are here right now
and you make me so proud
so take this song in your pocket
and carry it along
on the good days
tough days
and the ones that make you wonder how
"how can i keep going?
when the big wheels keep on turning
and those thoughts are caught
burning between my ears"
well you're not alone
i'll take the lead
slow dance those thoughts to sleep
till the only thing left burning are my feet
it's my treat

well that's chill too
listen to me closely
no matter where you've been

slow dance those thoughts to sleep
till the only thing left burning are my feet
