in the morning i lay
anticipating you
follow hallways, darkened
hollow bones as tunnels
and i’m meditating
“a new perspective”
manifest unfolding
whispers guide me harshly
what is less than empty?
what is less than empty?
what is less than empty?
i could let you know
sitting, waiting, wishing
in a concrete quadrangle
spirit fills the holder
in a backseat jungle
wind the clockwork forward
four days go by, you shook
frigid fingers fumbling
well, i guess you’re off the hook
what is less than empty?
what is less than empty?
what is less than empty?
i could let you know
what is less than empty?
what is less than empty?
what is less than empty?
well, i guess you had to go

head out the window again
hands off the wheel but it’s steering straight by a friend sittin’ passenger side
sun is out and i’m feelin’ fine
and you say, you say it’s alright
and you know that we’ll be just fine
and you know, you know it’s alright
and you say we’re feelin’ just fine
you say you’re something you’re not
i’m surprised that you got this far with me
you’re sippin’ tonic and gin
in as deep as the grave you dig
and you say, you say it’s alright
and you know that we’ll be just fine
and you know, you know it’s alright
and you say we’re feelin’ just fine
feelin’ just fine

pedestal
02:49
|

and i feel small on your pedestal
held up high
impossible
and i wanna be myself
but you twist my words
so i’ll never tell
and it’s so tough when you hold me up
gravity is bound to win
and when i fall, who’s gonna be there to lift me up again?
not you
you’ll be through

bells

i always felt like the edge was better than the center
because the long way around will show you how to resign yourself to the end of it
but if you want it
you know i'll be there
i'll come runnin with bells in my hair
and if you needed someone else, too
you know i'd give it up if i could still love you
i don't know if i am capable
can meet you halfway if you do not care
cause i'm scared that i'll spill the glass it took so long for me to fill
but if you wanted
you know i'll be there
i'll come runnin with bells in my hair
and if you needed someone else to
you know i've given up if i could still love you
you know i'll give it up if i could still love you
you know i've given up if i could still love you

harvest moon
03:45
|

|
it’s the lightest thing about me
i keep it dark
it’s what you left behind that i’m a part of now
i don’t cry no more
what’s the use? we’re moving forward
salt the soil with water
life decays just like the earth you used to walk on
i’d kiss the ground
fill my cup and raise it up just to pour it out
and i’m sorry that i rushed you
and i’m sorry that i raised my voice when you were trying not to spend your days just dying
wish i had the patience i could have learned from you
now you’re gone, and life goes on
sometimes i don’t want it to
but the world, it spins in circles like the ones we used to dance in
and i can still hear ‘harvest moon’ playing in your kitchen
there’s so much more i want to say but i just don’t know how to talk to you— i never learned— cause all i did was shout.
i hope you know i loved you
i hope you know you saved me
i hope you know i’m only here because of what you gave me
i’m clean now

you’re not all you’re cracked up to be, and i’m glad
there’s a side of you only i can see
you pull me apart and into you like saltwater taffy from the beach
they say that i have to be sure, and i’ll know;
it’s a feeling i’ll get when it’s right
i’m scared ‘cause i always feel everything and nothing at the same damn time
and if you were a flower, i’d let you live
you deserve to stay on the vine
lots of others should take your beauty in
i’d be selfish to make you mine
and if you were a flower, i’d let you live
you deserve to stay on the vine
lots of others should take your beauty in
i’d be selfish to make you mine
i don’t wanna play these games anymore
i don’t wanna be anyone but yours

woke up on the wrong side of my bed again
got an aching back and my head is pounding
sit out on the ledge to cure my ailments
wish i didn’t know now what i never knew then
and i wanna fix my world
but i can’t stay dry
don’t know how to move forward
guess i’ll learn it’s as simple as it sounds
if i wanna have her around
time goes on and the days go by
the liver’s cured and the well’s run dry
no more fog that’s clouding up my mind
just wanna leave those thoughts behind
and goddamn, am i tired
but i can’t stand still, only know how to move forward
guess i’ve learned, it’s as simple as it sounds
if i wanna have her around
you’re a cardinal, i am a bluebird
left me here in fall and i feel a burden
i’ll stay faithful ‘cause it worth it
if i wanna have her around
if i wanna have her around
if i wanna have her around
and i wanna have her around

buried
03:14
|

|
in the backyard with my brother
with my sister, falling over
we were chasing every color
dodging bullets from our father
he was so tall on the back porch
had us roaring all with laughter
and i miss him
and i loved him
yeah i love him, it's just different
i thought that this would go away
buried like a secret
i'm glad i get to feel this way
i'll keep it, yeah i'll keep it
sick of sad songs for my mother
made a promise to be stronger
always felt small, in a shadow
but i'm rising toward the sun now
you should taste it,
how the summer collects teardrops from the winter
feeling older in my bedroom
but i'm wiser, yeah i'm wiser
i thought that this would go away
buried like a secret
i'm glad i get to feel this way
i'll keep it, yeah i'll keep it
i thought that this would go away
buried like a secret
i'm glad i get to feel this way
i'll keep it, yeah i'll keep it

thawing
03:26
|

|
i’ve been frozen
trying to be cool
spent the last years thawing out
and when i feel like i’m alright
another voice tells me to hide
i talk to god near every single night
he’s the quietest roommate i have ever had
and when i feel like i’m alright
another voice tells me to hide
don’t wanna go through life alone
so i refuse to be so cold

always loved the way you smile when you sing
could listen to you talk about anything
feeling lost inside my own hometown
it seems different when you're not around
falling out of trees like falling out of love
i see things different when i'm up above
finally good enough for me now
i don't know what i'm gonna do
but i'll do it without you
so take your two cents and throw them in a wishing well
haven't seen you in years, i wonder how you've been
and if that time away's been well spent
never wrote back to you, never understood
you're good as gone and gone for good
falling out of trees like falling out of love
i see things different when i'm up above
finally good enough for me now
i don't know what i'm gonna do
but i'll do it without you
so take your two cents and throw them in a wishing well
feeling lost inside my own hometown
it seems different when you're not around
you're not around
