Forties

If feelings were photos then I know for sure
That safety would look like my feet on your floor
And love might look like a very old friend
She'd be you at nineteen - when we were innocent
I've got this voice in the back of my head
And it's telling me to quit before I wind up dead
I've got this voice in the back of my head
And it's a cynic but I'm learning to trust it
So stop believing what you're feeling
Think for just this once
There's a world I've been waiting to see
And I know I always told you I was waiting to leave
But I wanted you like summer
When all I knew was cold
And I know you hoped that I would stay until the day
When we grow old
I've got this voice in the back of my mind
And it's telling me, "Hey, what if you never find
What you've been looking for all this time?"
Oh, it's a cynic and I'm learning to trust it

Fault Line
02:56
|
|||
|
I feel the floor falling away
And nowhere I can land that's safe
Fault lines and shattered plates
The way we miscommunicate
I kept my eyes to the bottom left
And watched you turned away and kept
Your focus on the way that we could be
Feel like I stepped on a fault line, and I can see everything collide
Forgive me once, or maybe twice
I'm getting lost in all that's nice
Speak for all our merit's sake
The way we miscommunicate
It's always shorter walking down than climbing up
I never meant to fall in love
And I always hesitate right before I make a move on fate
Can't just say yes to all success
Denied perfection? We've been blessed
Please don't choke on being right
I'd rather die than start another fight
Feel like I stepped on a fault line, and I can see everything collide

How To Speak
03:52
|
|||
|
I've had some long days in these short three years
And some long nights when you called me mad on the phone
And I hate waking up to your stones on my shoulders
If you let go, you can see me
But you're holding on to what you know
Grudges and fists and the knots on my wrists
And the way you want to do this
I want to run away
I want to find a place where I don't hate the sunrise
I want to know I'm safe, don't want to have to hide
I want to live like I love being alive
It's been forever since the last time you were happy
And you meant well, but you don't know how to speak
Did you remember that you love me?
'Cause you tell me all the time
But I can't see it in your eyes
You're breathing fire
And I know that I'm not water
But I don't want to turn to stone
Just to keep from getting burned

And
02:00
|

|
Is this what I've always known it is?
Is it something more than providence?
Is there tomorrow
Or am I wasting all my time?
'Cause I've been losing
Everything I know
And time's been proving
I will always let go
What's up with Jesus?
Because I wonder
Does the man who throws the lightning hear the thunder?
If there's something I should be, does that mean there's no hope for me?
And if there's something I should do, does that mean there's no hope for me and you?

Make Sense
03:39
|
|||
|
Tie your knots around my hands
Acting like you've got a plan
Then you go and fall asleep
And leave me locked up here for weeks
Tie your knots around my neck
Leave me here to show your friends
Then you go and tell me lies
Tell me "Everything is fine."
And I'm here hanging by a rope
I keep breathing - standing on my tiptoes
Cut me down, I can't let go
Don't want to make up, make love or make amends
No, I just need you to make sense
Tie your knots around my neck
Then you leave me here for dead
Seems to me that you can't breathe
And so you'll make the same of me

Sanctuary
05:46
|
|||
|
I'd forgotten how it felt to sing
And feel anything
I'd forgotten how it felt to love you
I've been sleeping on solid ground
Locked up safely and just maybe
I should burn it down
So where do you go when you don't want to die
But being you just don't feel right
Where do you go?
Breaking into my safety
Burning down my sanctuary
Disrupting the dust that sits on top of my hinges
I know the world is a terrible place
And it's got a couple things that I can't face
But where do you go?
I told myself I was done this time
And I don't know when I realized
That you're not on my side
So where do you go when everything you've made
Is turning into something you hate?
Where do you go?

Someone Else
04:45
|
|||
|
With your wind on the water that covers my heart
Forgive me, I'm just trying to breathe
I nevemr thought I'd feel such disdain
For all the sustains my heartbeat
I used to have such faith in myself
But I don't know if I still believe
I used to have such faith in myself
But lately I just wish I could be someone else
With your wind on the water that covers my heart
You're always disturbing the peace
I never wanted to watch this burn
But the embers are consuming my dreams
With your wind on the water that covers my heart
I could just leave and forget
Freedom is something that I used to think
Was more than just evading your threats

Half Past
03:18
|
|||
|
There ain't no joy in locking doors
When you left your heart inside on the bedroom floor
And no matter what you say
No good can come of seeing things this way
So give freedom to those who let go
Of things you think you need
If it's freedom that you need
Then just let go of me
And it's half past the last hour
Not a word - but let me know you're there
Count down for this round
Every single mask that you could wear
I swear if you'll be you and I'll be me
Then we can fill the space between
Just promise me you won't let go of me
And there's no wisdom breaking just to know
How many broken things you can leave alone
And none embracing things you hate
Just to prove your twisted sense of fate
So give freedom to those who let go
But don't tell me why
Don't turn down the things you want
Before you ask the price
Is it fate
Or is it just man made?
Does it matter in the games we play?
I'm done waiting here while you let this fade

Ennui And Me
03:46
|
|||
|
Been feeling tired and I think it's sinking into my bones
I feel the atrophy from apathy
I'm turning to stone
Somebody said that you're doomed to your destiny
So I should just sit still
But how much longer
Do I keep staring at a street
With nothing lit but me?
Another minute - I'm staring at my phone
Searching for a window
And I keep asking myself
"Where do I go?"
I'm never certain
Always searching for signs
But I've gotta get out
And I've gotta be right
But if it's fate and it's not man made
You should just do whatever you want
If there's something I should be
Does that mean there's no hope for me?
And if there's something I should do
Does that mean there's no hope for me and you?

Run Away From Everything
06:24
|
|||
|
Settle down
It's not the end
I feel no need for my defense
You think I left this world behind
But there's another one to find
You think I'm floating into space
Nothing's holding me in place
I don't need you to see
I just need you to love me
If I don't stay here with you
Will you still be here for me to run to?
Always changing who I am
But you know who I've always been
Never say that it's okay
Seem so sure I'll fly away
Disapprove - it's nothing new
I live like I don't live for you
I don't need you to see
I just need you to love me
I've been hiding in my head these days
And I get lost
