I’m never all alone with us
We keep our old motions up
You have heard it all before
But every word has hope for us
Heal our ancient wounds with all
We can hold in cold and rough designs
I’ve heard it all before
But there’s a greater plan for us
First of all I know you won’t
Wonder how when this is gone
We’ve been walking all around our neighborhood for far too long
And that’s not what I forget when I’m alone
Something we can hold through the dark
Open up my tired, burning
Eyes though they can’t see too far
Keep away the earnest
Every second a new dark
Keep my latent, violet
Melancholy, sing-song
Nothing you can fight,
No way to tell the right from wrong
I can’t fight what I don’t
Know how to find in myself
You leave yourself defenseless
Every second opens a new door
Set apart the truth
Won’t you cover up and move with me
Keep your point of view
In the limelight, won’t you come outside
Set apart the truth
I survive with what I take with me
Keep your point of view
And be true to us,
Be true to us

Drifting
03:37

Drifting in and out of song
Drifting in and out of rigid structures
Running round in what I know
Try to take the moment like it’s brand new
Living near a gaping dark
Underneath the noise of fake beginnings
I can’t keep our worlds apart
Hours turning into dust behind me
But don’t you forget about me
Years and years run down
Voices left in stone
Caught up in something else
(When you leave behind a path
Tired but intact
Gone a different way
You don’t need to ask
It’s all you can say
A foot on the ground
But that’s a different day
A far away sound)
When I feel a curtain draw
Whenever I know I’m lost
I get stuck in older love
Something I look back on way too much
I don’t know how to figure out
What I know from scenes I exit slowly
I just keep on walking forth
Drifting in and out of song
Keep the colors you want
You’re not at odds with this
With our voices warm
You’re not at odds with this

What I know
03:18
|

Some things just fall apart
Just leave the air
The quiet ground all around
I can’t make sense
Of what I know
When you’re not there to keep the demons out
I don’t need to fight for
What I can’t live you
You and your emotion
Just burn away my doubt
Keep my breathing steady
When I’m just skin and bones
When I can’t be bothered
I still make time for you
I don’t need to fight for
What I can’t live without
Put my faith in old homes
The time buried in doubt
Places I feel frozen
May never see again
Keep my breathing steady
I got all I need

Fast Asleep
03:49
|

Every second is a forest to me
That only leaves a trace
I get lost in the bushes and reeds
Before I get to save it at all
At all
Every motion gold
Every moment old
Under your palms
Wrapped up in thought
You are always tired or fast asleep
Drifting in and out of song
Every fiction that I hold
Keeps me in the dark
But I am ten feet tall
I don’t worry at all
You get caught in the love you know
Never want to leave
From what you need to grow
Way too caught up
This cruel unbelievable world
I won’t get it go
(Every motion gold
Every moment old)
And when I feel the blood pushing out
The loneliness and doubt
The fever-stricken noise
Keeping this apart from what I know about
The time I’m living for
Touched by the spreading dawn
Feeling like I’ve been reborn
But I won’t leave it alone
I will show you eternal love
