Ingrained

The other end of a line happening somewhere else
I never know how your new days are spent
Do they drag themselves by like you always said?
Or blossom out of the dark to a place we can share?
When I was wounded I wrote it down
And spat it out at a faceless crowd
And I read it now and I need
Something I don't understand
Traceless
But when I walked in the sun on Crow Lane
I heard you tapping out my name
And a flutter of dusty wings hiding again
You're here ingrained
Constant, but that I can put away
I don't need it with me every day
Difficulties that come with us
Part and parcel, enough was enough
When I was broken I fell right down
You put me there and showed me how
I can't believe it now but I can see
This is different somehow
Traceless
But when I walked in the sun on Crow Lane
I heard you tapping out my name
And a flutter of dusty wings hiding again
You're here ingrained

Reactions don't range too much
I think they want to know when I'll stop
Trying to notice other people
And only you've got the answer to that
Am I just seeing what I want to
Or is it really this clear cut?
It's just that I've been somewhere like this before
Took long enough for that kicking to stop
Take the words from the tip of my tongue
They flowed to me like rivulets once
Turn them into whatever you want
You have free rein if I have your response
Open landscape so I can't hide
So far over how I've lost that thin line
I think we fell into the start of something
I'm not just letting it go
Cross over to where we can watch it unfold
I want to revel in the moment for as long as I can hold on
Take the words from the tip of my tongue
They flowed to me like rivulets once
Turn them into whatever you want
You have free rein if I have your response

Left Me Cold
04:01
|
|||
Counting the time as I counted the miles
Run down the road just to feel alive
Said that I loved things that I didn't like
And left me cold
Didn't know what called me
Just know it wasn't you
Left me cold
Left me blue
It's just nothing
A bleak scene met my eyes
Blissful burning on a made-up pyre
Burns our ashen smiles
And left me cold
Didn't know what called me
Just know it wasn't you
Left me cold
Left me blue
It's just nothing

Hymns
03:51
|

Clear ink and the list piles up
It's gently cruel when we wake up
Hoping we'd got better overnight
Samples on my free hand
Godfear we've seen the light
Strangers seem beautiful when the music is good
When I can hear nothing else
Their hymns pull me in and I feel understood
And I can sing along out loud
But that's nothing holy to me
And while you're nowhere near devout
You're a godless saint to me
And I can feel it now
Tied to you I need flames to burn
That's all I wanted all along
Hoping we'd got pretty oversight
In control, forced to evolve
God knows what I could find
Strangers seem beautiful when the music is good
When I can hear nothing else
Their hymns pull me in and I feel understood
And I can sing along out loud
But that's nothing holy to me
And while you're nowhere near devout
You're a godless saint to me
And I can feel it now

New Haunts

The lights brightly beating hearts
The noises in your head
Everyone a stranger
Anyone a friend
The clouds wash black the sky
Black and black blue
The ground tremors
You feel it through you
Never again is the rule
Not in your lifetime will it break
We can go nearby but never inside
Not in your lifetime will that break
And you can feel it
Don't even know it yet
But you feel it
You'll never be that way again
I will not look at the corpse too long
I drag myself away from where it lays
Won't be drawn into living that old death
'Cause that is all there is to do and there it will stay
A new breeze breathes through here
Rustling those new leaves
Bring me ignorance of these things
Something I can build upon, unfamiliarity

Waves
02:58

City across the water
Falls down on me in waves
And everywhere everywhere glows
Lights pushing through the rain
Wrap me up in water
Burn me in your flames
Cross the city to see me
Reflect me in the rain
Droplets collect and I forget
The sound and feel of you
But this is only ever a chapter
Another one that's new
Wash me in the water
Gathered in your grasp
Falling through your fingers
Nothing you can catch
I walked on the wet streets
And I floated in the mist
I breathed in the rain clouds
I can always count on this
Wrap me up in water
Burn me in your flames
Cross the city to see me
Reflect me in the rain
Droplets collect and I forget
The sound and feel of you
But this is only ever a chapter
Another one that's new
Wash me in the water
Gathered in your grasp
Falling through your fingers
Nothing you can catch

Same Medicine
03:23
|
|||
Rocking that boat could drown you
So watching from the shore
And dancing to the same song
Birthed this thing and tried to raise the corpse
And we are on the same medicine
Over and underdone
You've found yourself just walking past me
On the way to my old home
Cutting and sticking and living the dream
Cut around you and in between
Saved it forever on my scrapbook page
Kept it to look at another day
And we are on the same medicine
Over and underdone
You've found yourself just walking past me
On the way to my old home
And under the clutter I unearthed
Days' and weeks' and months' worth
I lived in it, I breathed it in
Only got better until it got worse
Underneath the last stubborn scraps
I found it under a driftwood raft
Barely afloat on a shin-deep tide
Battered and gnarled but still alive
And we are on the same medicine
Over and underdone
You've found yourself just walking past me
On the way to my old home

Safe Out Here
02:39
|
|||
I can see you hide
Only coming out when someone dies
You say you're taking care
But what if you die in there
Day out to his funeral
You stay in your static womb until
You feel safe out here
You're not safe out here
Hack bits off, but it's okay
it's all done in a controlled way
So clean, so clinical
The damage done is only minimal
This is not your solution
No matter how perfect the execution
I can't keep this
We can patch up your clothes, patch up your skin
Patch up that shell where you clambered back in
Found a place to hide like a creature to die
Burn away the dirt, burn away the life
Burning flesh I shouldn't know
How you clean your knife
Hack bits off, but it's okay
it's all done in a controlled way
So clean, so clinical
The damage done is only minimal
This is not your solution
No matter how perfect the execution
I can't keep this

Ice
06:58
|
|||
A shadow passes over your sun and it's me
Driving through the dark
The night dreams us up
And the breeze is like a summer day
And we've wound the windows down
Just 'cause we like it that way
And I can feel the distance
This doesn't keep on ice
Tearing into it all
It's straight up damage
And I give it my all
As far as I can
As far as I know
And it's still kept cool
Hard concrete truths
Glimmer with intrigue
Treasure laden
I can feel a heartbeat
Take me anywhere
Clutching my surroundings
The inanimate, the dead
Everything here lives
And if I wake with a start
Clutching something unreal
Something I can't make out
Something I cannot see
And there isn't time
To peer through you
To adjust my eyes
To get us through
And back inside a real world
I live, love and lose
In much the same way
But the dream is bruised
It's cold detrition
Racing tolerably through
Muted spikes and ditches
With the feeling cured
And if I wake with a start
Clutching something unreal
Something I can't make out
Something I cannot see
And there isn't time
To peer through you
To adjust my eyes
To get us through
