Take Warning
05:23

paused at falling skies
your eyes clutching mine
wait for it to die
we couldn't take so we gave our lives
taste your shaking skin
keep it silent
moments after I sink in
i'll bring you back again
because there's all my life in you

Brainwave
04:20
|

I had a brainwave
caught it at daybreak
had a melodic ache
used and let it get away
and now those simple words
are twisting with the curves
of my own memory
short term and stuck in repeat
I had a brainwave
it made the front page
thought it would not escape
but then I lost the shape
and now those perfect tones
that shook beneath my bones
have left my muscles cold
and all my actions dull
I had a brainwave
this time it wouldn't break
I put it in a cage
sitting for days and days
and when I found the chart
it was familiar art
something I had already seen
unlocked and set it free
and now it's on a runaway
keep mixing message tapes
in the cortex it's all the same
I wasn't ready to lose the name

Radio You
02:38
|
|||
I wasn't allowed
to pick up the phone
I couldn't yell that loud
loud enough to reach your home
so sometime i'd like to radio you
the wire in the clouds
is a caught and tangled tune
can you hear the static sound
you are making in your room?
sometimes it's gonna be different than before

Loneliness of Liars
04:09
|

made another mystery
out of your history
sold it by the morning
nighttime I was fire roaring
laying in the waste
I could barely taste
everything you serve
caught in the conservation for the war I tried to ignore
a patron for the war I tried to ignore
but there was something in your eyes that I could never afford
hope it stops raining
forty nights waiting
help you stay under
help me go thunder
in the january
middle i'll be ready
in the popularity
of the air that breathes in you like a little choke
breathes in you like a little choke
all I can give to you is an anecdote
and i'm just pacing, pacing for you now
and i'm just pacing, pacing for you
'til you come around,
beat it down,
but you're dead, and now
I surrender now.
oh, I surrender now.

Everything of Ours
04:53

show me ways to find the space
I wasn't there to make me or you
haunt my mind with turpentine
until I wind up lost inside the room
and there was just a figure
I found between the walls
telling me to keep the key
but leave behind the door
call to arms the nitrogen bombs
they'll clear up the mess, evaporate the surface
start again what has been the end,
the machine won't rest until it is the best
and you were just a figure, figure, figure, figure, figure
oh my lord, if I believe in symmetry,
i'll believe in anything
everything of ours is coming
can't imagine where it'll be when it's gone
I hope that when I die I make the national news

Hallway
04:07
|
|||
I was basking
in the hallway air
couldn't help but stare
at the pictures
memory
you couldn't help but breathe
scents of her cotton sleeves
in the summer
or in november
fuck this party
I wanna be outside
I want out of this tie
and into the water
they are laughing
about another horrible day
working from nine to way
past their dinner
and now i'm on my way
working through crowd so fazed
biting on my tongue just to break off the taste
and now i'm on my way
mixing with the curious faced
open up a bottle to savor each other's flavor
and now I'm on my way back home
but it doesn't matter anyway, no
you started a family tree
I wasn't supposed to see
I wasn't allowed to read
but baby that's not for me

Elephant
03:37
|
|||
it's another night
you're under your own breath
nothing's alright
everything is upset
so you turn to your mirror
in the label, peel it off
you really screwed yourself
you really screwed this out
you hold your elephant the way you hold your head
caught lost in a liplock
with your favorite dead soldier
you know, the one you bought
for excuses grown older
you take a second to explain it and you lose your mind
you take an hour, try to calm down, and you fall behind
you say it's them, not me, you're pretty, and you don't get high
that's why you're always on the ground about to dive
you hold your elephant the way you hold your head
first fifty years grey, then the last ten red
still crossing the river

Bushes
03:35

she's staring at me through my screen
the way she'd stare at me through the window in my dreams
thirteen years ago
both memories wear black and white and moonbeams
oh I know
it's another taste of the sentimental
that I want to last forever
she spreads her eyes on slow
sprays dust on her clothes, attaches to my nose
taking me back home
where I lost my sense of which way was lonely
oh I know
it's another scent of the elemental
that I don't want to shake away from my bones
they keep me warm, keep the accidental feelings
I don't know if I want to show

Only in the Books
04:57
|
|||
caught you before
the sunlight left the moor
on the road, lit up like gold
known faces falling old
you stood up hand on hood
asking if it's ever good
I made my promise clear
there is love in all this fear
and only in the books that fear is real
hold your head
in the blue of your bed
i'll send it all away
and warm you into grey
know only in the books that fear is real
only troubled looks can make you feel
that something's gonna happen to your heart
smile 'til your worries break apart
caught you alone
reading about rome
but you didn't shed a tear
you forgot the fear

Short Horror
05:26
|
|||
settle for the money
on my little wake
I was restless in the horror
of the lake
settle for the contest
oh my I was weak
made a couple kind children
and opened them to speak
and you were not a member of that little piece of clay
that I made on that day
settle for the memory
oh my lord I would take
through the restless part of anything
you're the restless part of anything
it's an uncomedic sadness
oh my head's feeling the wall
you can haunt me with your gratitude
but I can't take the fall
and on my way I wasn't walking farther at all
I would walk alone
so come back and settle me down
yet it was tough to be you
