Feathers

Waning like the moon
Time, it moves in phase
Memories like a fever dream
Hot or cold, I’ll never know
For now, I’ll
Feel you in the breeze
Find you in feathers
And hear you in the trees
Seasons slip away
Yet I still stand in place
Blooms, they ring out and fade
How I wish yours had stayed
For now, I’ll
Feel you in the breeze
Find you in feathers
And hear you in the trees

Pulling Eyelashes
02:42
|

|
It’s like the times
You crawl across the carpet
Fingers deep in the threads
Pulling sleep from my eyelashes
Dazed and sorry it is
Mm…
It’s like the breath
That haunts me
The last that fell from your lips
Where does it live now?
And what flowers has it kissed?
Mm…

My Mistake
03:27

|
My mistake
We live side by side
She and I
Day and night
She’s always there
To remind me
I try to shake
Her off sometimes
But she always finds
A way
To never let me
Live it down
Cause I was
Too late...

Surface Blind

You’re looking thin these days
Has something been eating you alive?
Well, I guess it’s found a way to take
A little more than just your time
Mm…
How’s your heart? They say
As if it’s got its own mind
Well, I guess it’s all the same
If I say something surface and blind
Oh…
Pick yourself back up
Well, that gets hard to do these days
Not sure if I’ve got any limbs left
Well, maybe they’ll grow back someday
Oh…
I wish you luck, my friend
I hope you love what life became
Don’t think I have the space yet to talk about
How much I can’t say the same

To Come Undone
03:40
|
|||
|
Don’t mind
I’ll be fine
You’ll see
Lifetimes
Of knots to untie
The slackened line
Is gathering at my feet
It’s hard to lay down
When it carried me
Or maybe, the other way around
I guess now it is getting easier to
Breathe…
It’s alright
To grieve the life you had
No other way past
So take time
It’s so much to unwind
But know those ties
Were never made to last
Turning the page now
There’s vacancy
Blank and emptying out
But also, I’m
Free…

The Way
05:07
|
|||
|
I have played pretend
Folded myself over
And twisted in
Broken spine
Just to please your eyes
A self-inflicted compromise
Get out of my own way…
I have known it well
A friend to me
A safety spell
But what’s so safe in vanishing?
Bend and break the habit
Contorting to routinely sabotage
The chance of ever being seen
Get out of my own way…

Horizon

What if I told you you’re on my mind?
I was heading in the fade of the day
With a life on the line
Waiting on a world where we stayed
And the time put on hold
Didn’t know it was the right light of day
Where everything would unfold
Oh, have mercy on me
If I could turn around the time
I would do it all differently
Lift the sun from the horizon
And pull you back down to the earth
Find a way to wipe the clouds from your eyes
To show you your worth
What if I told you the world’s gone mad?
Lost touch with how to love
And the sky’s gone cold and black
Grasping for the hope that I felt
With you by my side
Could see the colors of the morning
With such hope in our eyes
Oh, have mercy on me
If I could turn around the time
I would do it all differently
Lift the sun from the horizon
And pull you back down to the earth
Find a way to wipe the clouds from your eyes
To show you your worth
How could I know?
How could I know?
(I would turn around the time)
How could I know?
(I would turn around the time)
How could I know?
(I can’t turn around the time)
How could I know?
(I can’t)
I couldn’t know…

Piano At Night
02:55
|

If any of us are involved in the breakdown
Let us lift up our heads
Cause every story must have a happy ending
That’s what you’re told as a kid
Just keep on stitching the pieces together
Soon it’ll all make sense
You’ll understand the part that you’re playing
A reason for all that it is
But maybe sometimes we tire of mending
Fingers sore from the threads
That keep on slipping through, endlessly fraying
And we just have to let it live
So, if you see me deep in the breakdown
Can we just bow our heads?
Not every story has a happy ending
No matter how hard we wish

Arms Around
03:22
|

|
She hides out
Lost her count of the days
Not sure just when it became
Unsafe
She curls up
Learned early how to drop
Anything she
Felt
My arms around
My arms around her
My arms around…
She’s terrified
Has never stepped in her light
She’s crawling back to the sound
Of life
And it burns
It burns her heart
It burns
It burns her arms
It beautifully aches to be
Alive
My arms around
My arms around her
My arms around…
