You Never Say Her Name
02:38

Walk on by
I see you hiding
Hair disheveled
Eyes are shining
Shoes so clean
Your clothes are ironed
No tattoos
Your sense is hiding
Why you never say her name around me?
Maybe in your heart you're sad and lonely like me
Oh, but if I had my druthers
Sisters know what's best for brothers
But family ties
Won't break the lies that we hold
She never be the one you wanted
And I will always be the one that you needed
Maybe in your heart you're sad and lonely like me
Maybe you just never thought you'd ever see me again
Maybe in your heart you're sad and lonely like me

Window is a Mirror
04:59

I can barely put two words together
I am learning to talk to myself
She is hard to get to know
But the pieces are starting to emerge
I am looking out the window
When I realize
I am looking in a mirror
Inside my mind
There she stands in all her glory
She is making me start to believe
Kitten cats and sometimes tumbleweeds
Roll along and, babe, that's ok
I am looking out the window
When I realize
I am looking in a mirror
Inside my mind
You know I've got it bad
Anxiety
That song you shared online was meant for me
So tired of living in this misery
I'll take the shit outside now happily
I am looking out the window
When I realize
I am looking in a mirror
Inside my mind
I am looking out that door...

Oh, Heath

Oh, Heath
Your name's been on my teeth
Ever since that day
You came to put a roof on my place
Hanging out your red truck
I said could you please knock
My baby's trying to get some sleep
But she never did and I woke up when you said
There's no sacrifice too small,
No matter the pain
What hurts us today
Can be tomorrow's gain
And the future is made of pieces of the present
There's no victory without facing some kind of pain
Oh, Heath
Would you please speak to me again?
I need another piece of your wisdom
Did you know that you cut so deep
When you shared those words
In our short conversation
Perhaps you never knew
That I'd wake up when you said
There's no sacrifice too small,
No matter the pain
What hurts us today
Can be tomorrow's gain
And the future is made of pieces of the present
There's no victory without facing some kind of pain
Oh, Heath
Would you please speak to me
There is no such sum
Llama wool and handmade soap
For us there is no hope as one
Hot air balloons sound fun
There is no such sum

Pity Pity
Sorrow
Sorry for my sins
Sometimes I want to let go
But you're working deep in me
Take some time to be free
When I run into you arms
You gently smile and you say to me
You said I'll carry you
In these arms
All the way with me
Pity Pity
Sorrow
Sorry for my sins
Sometimes I want to let go
But you're working deep in me
Take some time to release

The Softest Air

Come on back to school
Don't waste your time
Gotta get your cool
Lessons don't stop
This ain't new
Better get your holy (holey) shoes on
Wait.
Stop.
It's a lot to hold on too
Whisper softly,
Hold your tongue
Just enough to fall in love
Our scars will never fade away
Hold me tightly
Turn the page
Watch your face and let your hand
Lead you to the promised land
Nothing is a guarantee
Certainly
Clandestine complication
As your words pour through the phone
You scent is filthiest drama
And the softest air I've ever known
Walk away
Don't take your time
Don't take a chance
I'll make you mine
Come on back to school
Don't waste your time
Gotta get your cool
Lessons don't stop
This ain't know
Tie your holy shoes
Don't cross that line
Now you are late
And you have blood all over your face
Wait in line
Take your turn
You must wait
Hold on, baby
What you say?
It's gonna happen anyway
What you want to talk about?
Gonna land on solid ground
Watch your face and let your hand
Lead you to the promised land
Nothing is a guarantee
Certainly
I'll pole you full of holes now

There's a light on
You and me are different people
Living in the same world
When I go to see the doctor
You are totally enraptured
When I go to be alone
I miss you but I need the space
I need the space
Now I know what I forgot
To remember all I was taught
Always be free
Love yourself
You can't change the world
But you can change where you dwell
You can't change the world
But you can change yourself.

Lost Cassettes
04:07
|

|
Leaves of brown, yellow and gold
You come by to smooth the stone
Time goes by I cannot hold you down
The rain falls hard
And the past is forgotten
The dogs are free
The foxes run for holes
Why come back down?
Change lives in the ground
Dig where you are
Why turn back now?
Trumped up roads
Have brought me here
Foliage ceiling is on the ground
Sticks and stones
Get in my eyes
You can't tell me a place to hide
Oh, the bear inside the cave
Shows me how to find my way
Why come back down?
Change lives in the ground
Dig where you are
Why turn back now?

Worry
04:34
|
|||
|
I will not worry about the fact
That my fingernails are not growing back
I am not sorry about the fight
In the parking lot hidden in plain sight
We lose ourselves as we grind the ax
Our future is slipping through the past
We lose ourselves as day fades to night
But the sun spits up and splatters in the light
Soon it will be a memory
A far off golden land
Cared by another man
Each and every tragedy
Began with the feeling that
Everything was alright
Dumb idols break our hearts tonight
Each and every tragedy
Began with the feeling that
Everything was alright
Dumb idols break our hearts tonight
It's not nostalgia
We call it beauty
But then that was our mistake
Each and every tragedy
Everything's alright

Untied
01:22
|
|||
|
I'll write you a new one when you're gone
I'll let you know when you can be untied
I'll think about you on Friday nights
You'll think about me when you see the moon
My face has been numb since I had
My wisdom teeth removed
But I can still feel your kiss
When I look up at the moon

One, two, three...
The love of god is at your feet
After a night without shame
Looking to numb the pain
Why can't I
See that you've
Always been
Knocking at my door?
Don't you wish
Wish that you wanted to?
Don't you wish you could?
All my strengths and all my paths
All my walls and turning backs
In my feeble heart you'll find
Sticks and stones ease my mind
Oh god is at your feet
You can kiss his head
Oh god is at your feet
You can touch his head
You know I've got it bad
My anxiety
That song you shared online
Was meant for me
I'm so tired of living
In this misery
I'll take that shit outside
So happily
Don't you wish
Wish that you wanted to?
Don't you wish you could?
All my strengths and all my paths
All my walls and turning backs
In my feeble heart you'll find
Sticks and stones ease my mind
(One, two, three
The love of god is at your feet)
I'm walking out that door...
