Sure, Ok 02:21
I walked by Without a sound And you sat down On the doorstep While everything I do See the hour And i'm tired You're so proud And i've found You'll force me to remember I'll squeeze my eyes some more Im hoping to be brought Something reassured

Moving Out 03:37
So i’ll take my life back Been away too many days Now we live together Being one with another I barely know myself The lilypad to your dewdrop I’ve weaved Time and space For them I’ve sunken down misty eyed In the rain ‘We’ll make it by’ Reminds me when we quit caffeine Every song and sound in my head Comes out of your mouth How'd the year go? Post-putting sunflowers on my doorstep I barely know myself But this time There's no kiss to say hello Just goodbyes Is all we can afford I want to take my life back Been away too many days I want to take my life back Take it back

Us 03:57
‘Course i feel bad It's been fifteen years Of just the three of us I don't blame you But I do For how you don’t listen And blame things on the dust Brother, father Makes me hate All four of us ‘Cause why are you yelling At tears on concrete floors Why are you screaming At virgin ears relying on your tone Tone Aaaaaa When there's fighting I can't When there's fighting I can't When there's fighting I can't When there's fighting I can't When there's fighting I can't When there's fighting I can't When there's fighting I can't When there's I see the love Love

Gone On 04:08
Stayed in for a while As the tears go down Its gone on For a while On and on Round the stile Its gone on For a while As the tears go down Round the stile Stayed in for a while As the tears goes down Its gone on For a while On and on Round the stile Its gone on For a while As the sun goes down Round the stile Ooooo

Lines 04:38
Eyes sworn to pry In thoughts unlike My jaw stays dry In thoughts unlike But the strength Falls down For you Us two

I sit so softly In my room The curtains fall down the window While the light beams Won't shine through I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk and I’ll say Whooooo Ooooooooooo I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk I’ll talk and I’ll say Whooooo Ooooooooooo

Paint 03:18
How's it been That true presence can Be achieved Through escape Through escape Away from it all Alone Embodiments of god

On the 12 mile train tracks I walk down I mean I kinda run around On the 12 mile train tracks Bristled skies the roads not sky to show me all its members But I don't remember The steps I took before I want to know who put the trash bag down But i’ll come back for it I can’t help feeling like my eyes are in my hair I feel creeped The boots they never moved And I cant tell whats behind trees or metal bars that tie each beam So i'm glad that there's a dog to shake its hair So I know its there But was it there? I shouldn’t care Bristled skies The roads not shy Bristled skies On the 12 mile train tracks I walk down I mean I kinda run around On the 12 mile train tracks Bristled skies the roads not sky to show me all its members But I don’t remember The steps I took before I want to know who put the trash bag down Bristled skies The roads not shy Bristled skies Why can’t I remember? Why’d the water flow on embers? Bristled skies The worlds not shy Bristled skies
