Erase My Worst
03:01
|
|||
you want to forget this world
i want to ease your hurt
if i could erase one word
it would be her
you want me to undo my choice
i want you to relearn what joy is
if i could erase my worst
would you ask for more
if i found my voice
would it be worth your loss
but if you lost yours
then i'm a coward for it
because i have not to give
to anyone or anything
i don't agree with or challenges me
so i'll just stay here

When I Was a Child
04:12

when i was a child
i always knew there'd be love
but when i got older
i found i could not smile even though i tried
you were an only child
you'd always know what love was
but when you got older
you found you could not smile even though you tried
in the daytime i like to sleep and hide
my life is better under covers or by moonlight
on the weekends i like to drink and type
my life is better when it’s sung and not in my mind
in the evening you like to read my mind
depression sucks so we’re staying in tonight.
on our days off we like to sleep until dusk
our lives our better when we dream to pass the time
when i was a child

Binary Stars
04:05
|
|||
if i ever fall in love again
i’ll be a boy who understands
that love comes from within
and you breathe it out
and if you ever fall in love again
you’ll be a girl who understands
i was weak when we were friends
i breathed it out
it feels like binary stars
we can’t ever pull apart
we just spin around and round and round
until one of our hearts goes dark
if I ever fall in love again
i’ll be a boy who understands
that love comes from within
and you breathe it out
and if you ever fall in love again
you’ll be a boy who understands
i was weak when we were friends
i breathed it out
we’ll collide
it’ll feel alright
we get closer and closer and closer
until our hearts won’t divide
if I ever fall in love again
i’ll a be a girl who understands
that love comes from within
and you breathe it out
and if you ever fall in love again
you’ll be a girl who understands
i was weak when we were friends
i breathed it out
we’ll collapse
the only sure thing is the past
we have to try and try and try
to be more than just burning gas
if we ever fall in love again
let’s be humans who understand
that love comes from within
and we breathe it out
and if we ever fall in love again
let’s be humans who understand
we were weak when we were friends
we breathed it out

Long Division
01:56
|
|||
well i'm not trying to make amends
long division is circumstance
geographically inclined
our lives formed tangential lines
we separate like a river spans
cutting forests under arid lands
our hearts' arithmetic had skipped
snow caps formed estuary teeth
we tried to find the formula
to solve for our differential love
the angles and the altitudes
our ratios were all askew
leave this town to build a house
as i square my eyes and lose the plot

Stay
02:37
|
|||
i know you cannot stay
even though you love the way i call your name
and even though i haven't always been my best
you still love who i could have been
but your not young enough to not know were getting older
because youre old enough to know its easier when we're farther
apart in our hearts and minds
i just hope we've got it right this time

Carbon Decay Brain
02:50
|
|||
half of my breaths are the ones i regret
half of my thoughts i can’t forget
the other half hang aimlessly
enter and exit my carbon decayed head
half of my laughs are the ones that i fake
half of my fears are ones i can’t shake
the other half form dark seeds
my smell grows faint in your wedding bed
half of my love is used for self-hate
half of words i can't escape
the other half form uselessly
inside my heart a whole in your shape

Petrichords

we grew up on different sides of the franklins
you got the rain i got the sun
five years away just to move down the block
good thing you say we can't talk
we feel clipped at our hearts
to be not so far apart
we hang low like creosote
smell the rain it tastes like myrrh
we settle on the same side of the mountain
i got my dog you worked on a son
at five years does he know i picked his name
i hope yours stayed the same
goddamn i hope it stays the same
we feel clipped at our hearts
to be not so far apart
we hang low like creosote
smell the rain it tastes like mirth
goddamn i hate this fucking mountain

Did You Forget
02:46
|
|||
did you forget
that we aren't friends
even though we shared a bed
did i wake you up
with my quiet rock
do you want to see along
just promise me you won't try to change the key
because if we're going down
let's get another round
i'll pick up the tab
i'll put it on the bands
does it hurt to hear
deafening silence
instead of children laughing
does it hurt to fear
my coming absence
do you want to sing a song
just promise me you wont try to change the key
because if we're going down
let's get another round
i'll pick up the tab
i'll put it on the bands
did you forget

Anything
03:39
|

i am not anything
to me to you to anyone
i cant see anything
but you
i can hardly breathe
i am not anything
worth saving
