Moss
03:24

floating, no idea where they are going
falling in and out of where they’ve been
underneath the rushing water
stones that are sinking
stem off, root out from this graveyard
Tell off every tree that blocks the sun
Place it back in water
See what it’s thinking
wash over me, I don’t mind
grow over me, I’ll come back with time
seemed softer but the moss is decoration
and it taught her that it won’t look how it feels
constant flow of water
careful while you drink it
wash over me, I don’t mind
over me, I don’t mind
grow over me, I’ll come back with time
what is mine?
what is mine? oh is mine
what is mine? oh is mine
What is mine will always be
I was swimming in the water
worried I was shrinking
but I am the son and daughter
of a light always blinking
wash over me, I don’t mind
over me, I don’t mind
grow over me, I’ll come back with time
grow over me, I’ll come back with time

no one knows who’s right anymore
no one knows who’s right
carve your word in stone
seal it down with open fire
no one redefines anymore
pick a storyline
going through the motions, run it ‘till it’s broken
we lose power to see outside
I wanna shut you down, make you believe
maybe my words cut delicately
will fall in perfect shapes like windowpanes
You wanna force me down, dare me to see
maybe the truth cut delicately
will fall in perfect shapes like windowpanes
no one leaves their pride at the door
we let it be the guide
hold it way too close
make the ego come together tight
I wanna shut you down, make you believe
maybe my words cut delicately
will fall in perfect shapes like windowpanes
You wanna force me down, dare me to see
maybe the truth cut delicately
will fall in perfect shapes like windowpanes
no one knows who’s right anymore
what a twisted lie
god please split it open,
‘cause there’s a way of knowing based on insight
when no one know who’s right anymore
mmmm

Clockwork
03:10
|
|||
tell me darling
where did we go wrong?
was it in the room the whole time?
in my head I saw it
so clearly
how we fell into it
saying all the same lines
and we still forgot ‘em
same shit, different day
but it’s bound to break apart
ooo a whisper when it rose
but we hold it deep in the bones
you’re starting to carve a hole, you might just see it all
what’s been hiding?
hiding in these walls
gently swallow
the pill of your pride
really holding up a trophy
when you’ve barely started?
we’re guilty
and there’s blood on our hands
no, we can’t avoid this
where we move it follows
same shit, different day
but it’s bound to break apart
ooo a whisper when it rose
but we hold it deep in the bones
you’re starting to carve a hole, you might just see it all
what’s been hiding?
hiding in these walls
hiding in these walls
just like clockwork
I’m turning back
just like clockwork
I’m turning back

Sweet Like A Peach
03:48
|
|||
mmm
mmm
sweet like a peach
dripping in poison
we are in danger
but I like it
just as you’re leaving
you press into my skin
you are no stranger
oh we must have been here some time
strong infatuation with the start
just the thrilling thought of you
will be my favorite part
you could be anyone
can we fall in love with anyone?
I wanna know
high on this feeling
of showing the best side
I’m only open now
to mystery of the fall
this is moment, this time
let’s talk and just make love with our eyes
don’t have to take it there
‘cause we did it in a past life
strong infatuation with the start
just the thrilling thought of you
will be my favorite part
you could be anyone
can we fall in love with anyone?
I wanna know
that’s no disrespect to my heart
no disrespect to my heart
that’s no disrespect to my heart
no disrespect to my heart
strong infatuation with the start
just the thrilling thought of you
will stay my favorite part
you could be anyone
can we fall in love with anyone?
I wanna know
you could be anyone
can we fall in love with anyone?
I wanna know
sweet like a peach
I’m dripping in poison

Imaginary
02:59
|

imaginary woman
haunting us
whisper blindly
her arms wrapped around him
I’m losing trust
what we’re finding
it’s not what it seems
she shows up in the form
of a person
to remind me
it’s not what it seems
it’s only
imaginary, imaginary
I shrunk myself inside
for a picture
combing finely
he sees the broken parts
they are shining
perfect timing
it’s not what it seems
we show ourselves
an honest reflection
i might believe
it’s not what it seems
it’s only
imaginary, imaginary, imaginary
imagine me

Emergency Landing
03:33
|
|||
don’t talk to me now
I’ve got nothing to say
what are we talking about anyway?
it isn’t personal
or maybe it is
I’ve been choosing myself
and it that makes me selfish
it is what it is
and it’s highly likely I’ll be feeling the pressure
call an emergency landing
if I help myself, I’m helping you
it you take a breath, I’ll take one too
I’m taking my time
I’m leaving it be
I been looking
but I just can’t find an apology
yeah it’s habitual
we put on a face
and then fake conversation
when I could’ve stayed in
I should’ve stayed in
And my sacred space should never be feeling the pressure
call an emergency landing
if I help myself, I’m helping you
it you take a breath, I’ll take one too
take one too
time is flying at the speed of life
there’s a voice to find in open sky
and it sounds like mine
and the more I listen, less I’m feeling the pressure
call an emergency landing
if I help myself, I’m helping you
if you take a breath, I’ll take one too
take one too
take one too

Sick From The Candy
03:00
|
|||
this place where the spark goes to die
yeah it’s burning bright then it’s gone
had it in hand now it’s lost
how long? how long?
mmm
deepen the canyon further each time
shouting and covering both of my eyes
sick from the candy again
fiending like a kid
how long? how long
will I allow it?
how long
will I allow it to go on?
coming up to see it now
what I’d rather cover up than talk about
mmm
leaving the arms the habit I bear
floating above it humble like I’m not scared
tying the truth to a crown
wearing it out
how long? how long
will I allow it?
how long
will I allow it to go on?
I go on

Breathe In
04:09
|
|||
ooo
ooo
see it through the glass
but can’t reach the other side
moving fast
swimming through the lies
it’s a constant wave
and a strong tide
will it ever break?
there’s a lot going on out there
don’t forget to come up for air
gotta just breathe in, then let it go again
breathe in, then let it go again
breathe in, then let it go again
then let it go again, breathe in
feeling low
it’s getting heavier down here
all this weight
giving into fear
when the tables turn
maybe then we’ll see
what we have learned
there’s a lot going on out there
don’t forget to come up for air
gotta just breathe in, then let it go again
breathe in, then let it go again
breathe in, then let it go again
then let it go again, breathe in
ooo
ooo
breathe in, let it go again
breathe in, let it go again
breathe in, then let it go again
then let it go, breathe
breathe in, then let it go again
breathe in, then let it go again
breathe in, then let it go again
then let it go again, breathe in
ooo
ooo

Cherry Blossom
04:30
|
|||
once a part of you gave me life
from the truest parts of you, I was a light
mid-winter ’93 brightly born
another branch out on the tree, I was a thorn
back to where we started
cherry blossom blooming
synchronizing movement and
it has taken us farther from the center
to see where we once were
but we’ll find it
shifting all the ways the mirror hangs
reflecting on the pain, I couldn’t change
mid-twenties are a blur, but all so clear
acceptance was my church with room to grieve
back to where we started
cherry blossom blooming
synchronizing movement and
it has taken us farther from the center
to see where we once were
but we’ll find it
keep it honest
keep it honest with me love
honest with me
keep it honest
honest with me love
honest with me
back to where we started
cherry blossom blooming
synchronizing movement and
it has taken us farther from the center
to see where we once were
and I’m learning
we’re only scratching the surface
ooh yellow sun is blinding
it’s all about the timing
it has taken us farther from the center
to see where we once were
but we’ll find
every part of you
gave me life

Wonder
03:40
|
|||
I dreamt I was running in the city
there were people coming at me
no idea what I had done
but I knew that I was guilty
I got cornered on the subway
and I jumped without a second thought
and I woke up on friend’s couch
I think I get the meaning now
I can fall back in time
all those boxes packed in line
room for me to find
wonder where you’ll be
well open the window, find out
someday you’ll see
all you got is right now
right now
it’s all right now
last night slept in the backseat
so I didn’t have to come home
hold the things you said
but I just couldn’t do it on my own
I could tell myself story
like the thousands times I did before
but I’d just forget the details
so you can tell the ending now
thursday took a long drive
all those boxes packed in line
room to redefine
wonder where you’ll be
well open the window, find out
someday you’ll see
all you got is right now
right now
it’s all right now
this time felt a little different
opening the front door
stars through the ceiling
when I laid out on the bedroom floor
