Plain Sight
03:50
|
|||
Well, it creeps me that you wear your crown that way
You told me to run
Well, the children, they won’t understand
And the weaker, they will raise their glasses in your name
[chorus]
We’re only wasting our time
Trying to find meaning
In the ways of our heartaches
We’re slowly losing our minds
Trying to spare feelings
In the midst of an earthquake
We’re only wasting our time
Would you ruin me if I showed you my true face ?
Would I notice if you poisoned my water ?
Oh I don’t know, believe me I don’t know
If your grave or mine will be shallow.
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know
Why it feels like we are all hiding in plain sight.
[chorus]
[2x]
Time keeps reeling us in again,
We keep praying this ain’t the end
We keep blaming the wind and the ocean floor
As the stream keeps flooding the fort
There will be room for us no more
There will be room no more

Old Times' Sake
03:54
|
|

Should I light another candle
For the souls you left behind,
For the promises you buried next to hers?
I could fill a dozen pages
With this numbing disbelief
With the many words I’ll never get to say.
All the pieces on the floor will drift away
If you don’t find your own way back home.
All the names across your back will fade to grey
If you don’t find your own way back home.
Should I save a seat next to mine
Just in case you change your mind,
Just in case you take it all back once again?
I could leave the light on all night
If it made you come around,
If it made you reminisce for old times’ sake.
All the pieces on the floor will drift away
If you don’t find your own way back home.
All the names across your back will fade to grey
If you don’t find your own way back home.
I can’t burry my head in the sand
Not ‘til love has made you blind
So if I saved you from yourself would you forgive me?
How bad are you aching to give in
To someone who could fill the room
I know it feels like you’ve been waiting for a century
And maybe she’s the antidote
To the silence you despise
But all the white noise in the world
Shouldn’t bend you at the knees.

Running in Circles

Break the sound, break the silence.
Where were you last night?
Where was I? And who was I?
Are you calling my name?
Or am I drifting again?
I can barely tell anymore,
I can barely tell.
I think I hear the bell.
I can barely tell
If those sirens are driving away
Or if they’re coming my way.
It’s getting colder (it’s getting colder)
I lost sight of the sun in the night,
I’m everything but alright.
This feels familiar (this feels familiar)
Break the silence,
Oh I can’t get it right.
Where am I? Who am I?
See, I might need a few more days,
To figure if I am bleeding out.
I can never tell anymore,
I can never tell.
I think I hear the bell.
I can barely tell
If those sirens are driving away
Or if they’re coming my way.
It’s getting colder (it’s getting colder)
I lost sight of the sun in the night,
I’m everything but alright.
This feels familiar
Please break it down for me once more.
‘Cause I can’t seem to trace my steps.
I know you say the world is on fire.
And I’ll put it out when i’m all done shivering.
So arm yourself with patience,
I’ll be getting there soon.
Or maybe not?
I can barely tell.
I can barely tell the road from the precipice,
Or your voice from mine anymore.
I can barely tell the end from the beginning.
Or my voice from yours anymore.

Silver Cardinal

Silver cardinal,
You fooled me once, you fooled me twice.
But this one’s on me, this time only.
It’s hanging by a thread.
A crumbling dream within a dream
But this ain’t on me.
I’m all out of stars and gods to curse
And I can’t tell whose fault it is this time.
Could it be mine?
It’s so much harder than it needs to be
But I can’t seem to bend my twisted mind,
My tired spine.
[chorus]
So please indulge me,
I’m only trying too hard to refrain
from trying too hard.
I cave in easy
‘Cause even I don’t buy the lies I sell.
So, lay me softly.
Silver cardinal,
I thought i’d fill the blanks myself
But I was so wrong and it’s been so long
Since I slept alone.
I went this far to prove a point
But I was so wrong.
I’m all out of friends and foes to beg
And I can’t see a way out of this maze.
Not through the haze.
It’s so much harder than it needs to be
And I can’t seem to bend my twisted mind,
My tired spine.
[chorus]
Somedays the wind carries me.
Somedays I sink slowly.
I tried so hard to fool you.
All my best tricks, you see through.
The veil is gone, have mercy.
The lighting’s wrong, indulge me.
All my best tricks, you see through.
I try so hard.

I'll See You Later
04:21
|
|

Do you think we could have changed the world
If we tried a little harder?
Do you think we could have ran together
If I stood just a little taller?
Do you think she still lives on the hill,
Waiting for me to come and save her?
Do you think there’ll be a place for us all
Under the trees when the storm will unfold?
[chorus]
I’ll call you later, I’ll send a letter, I’ll see you later.
I’ll call you later, I’ll send a letter, I’ll see you later.
I might recover, I barely miss her, I’m getting better
I’ll call you later, I’ll send a letter, I’ll see you.
There’s a line at the door full of people you knew.
There’s a man on the floor who looks nothing like you.
I’ve been trying to make sense of all that I said.
I’ve been meaning to break down the thoughts in my head.
[chorus]

Out of Your Hands
03:46
|
|
||
Can you tell me, tell me how
You found your way to the other side.
Oh please show me, show me now
Where you crawled under the fence.
See I tried and tried again
To hold on to the tip of your toes.
And you cried and cried again
As I fell back to my knees.
I never meant to hit the ground.
I never meant to let you down.
[chorus]
But I just can’t help it; I’m sliding away
And falling behind more everyday.
Don’t wait out for me, just be on your way
It’s all up to me, it’s all out of your hands.
I’ve been here before
And I will probably be here again.
But I don’t see the need for you
To go down with the ship one more time.
Though I can’t point out exactly where,
When or why it all began.
I don’t want you to see the end.
I don’t want to see you there.
I never meant to hit the ground.
I never meant to let you down.
[chorus]
When you’ll look over your shoulders
I’ll be the red light in the distance.
Fading in and out of focus.
Disappearing with the night.
When you’ll look up at the ceiling,
I hope the marks will all be erased
Along with every guilty feelings
You had pack up for the road.
Let it go
Don't wait out for me

Queen Size Bed
03:35
|
|
||
I know you’re out there looking for
A way to save us from the flood.
I’ve looked a thousand times before.
Maybe we could move away
Somewhere where it never rains,
Somewhere we’d know what to say.
Maybe it’s too little, too late
We’re too far gone.
Maybe it’s too little, too late
We’re too far gone.
And there ain’t much left to save.
[chorus]
We sat by the fire
Seven years too long.
Foiling desire.
And we stumbled our way to the end of the aisle just to prove a point.
And we buried our head underneath the golden covers of
Our queen size bed for years.
You know I’m out there looking for,
Subtle cures to fatal wounds.
I don’t believe it anymore.
Maybe we could lock the doors
We’d never have to leave the room.
A thousand miles south from the shore.
Maybe it’s too little, too late
We’re too far gone.
Maybe it’s too little, too late
We’re too far gone.
And there ain’t much left to save.
[chorus]
The waves are getting closer by the day, by the hour.
The sheets are getting colder.

Sometimes
04:00
|
|
||
Leave it all behind,
Start from scratch again
And throw me to the wolves.
Lay it on the line
And pray tomorrow will finally let you go.
Rest your weary mind.
Fantasize about
Someone else’s dreams.
Lay it on the line,
Pray tomorrow will bring another day
[chorus]
Sometimes I wish the tide would shift
So the waves would wash me off.
Somehow I feel relieved just thinking about it.
I can’t explain it.
See sometimes it just gets so late.
I’d trade it all for a blank slate.
Oh sometimes I wish the tide would shift.
Put your makeup on.
And burn all evidence
that you were ever here.
Don’t think for too long
Pray tomorrow.
(Walk away, walk way, walk away)
[chorus]
Oh I’d pick up every pebbles
And burry every footsteps.
If it were that easy.
And I’d catch a boat to England
Or maybe Spain
Wherever, love.
If you’d let me.
I’d leave it all behind.
[chorus]

Funeral Wake
02:49
|
|
||
Well, it’s so much later than you know.
And your dreams are all drowning in sorrow.
You’ve been praying to a half moon.
You’ve been praying for a half moon to shine.
[chorus]
All your friends are mending
their broken hearts in the night.
And none of them know your name.
Add a mark to the ceiling,
for she won’t reach for the light.
Just try to dismiss the flames.
Well, you’re so much older than you know.
And your feet are still burning from the snow.
You’ve been trying to hold on.
You've been dying to move on from this.
[chorus]
We could run, baby run away.
If you’d come, baby come my way.
We could run, baby run away.
If you’d come, baby come my way.
We’ll find a way to keep all your ghosts at bay.
It’s okay, all will be okay.

Hall of Mirrors
03:23

Lay all your demons to rest.
Save all the fears you have left.
Carry me on to the edge of the world
And we’ll lay all your demons to rest.
Uncover your bruises today.
Throw all the pictures away.
Carry me home to the end of the world
And uncover your bruises today.
Well you’ve been here before
And you’ll probably be here again
So follow the red trails you left.
Oh there’s no one you haven’t seen
And nothing you haven’t faced
On the other side of the glass.
Keep your reflexion in the shadow.
Leave all the mirrors alone.
Keep your reflexion in the shadow.
Leave all the mirrors alone.
