Sinker 02:21
That shit takes time But the water pressure’s nice Or it was that night Still don’t feel right I bet you’ve known it your whole life But we toe the line It’s all the same If it’s all the same Why really bother? Someone to blame So you fan the flame One to another On that first wind It’s hard to know how to begin Lost in your skin Long since filled in You know I’d do it all again Just tell me when Sinker sinker Well under water as the Ring drops deeper I’m histrionic But you meet your maker It’s all you wanted this whole time It’s all the time

Solstice 03:07
Night of the solstice After the polls closed I was Out on my own time Just trying to breathe right and Hiding in places Between where I’m from and going It was cold in the morning But it always is yeah Humid enough to taste it At the top of the stadium we Drew down the dark together and then left alone Half of the leaves won’t grow back In the coming spring and you know that But you plant in the fall like we can win ‘em all If I never know If I never know can I live with that? How fragile it hangs now All around your neck Twists in your throat and it quivers your lip, loosens your grip Try to put it away Try to see each day Because the ones ahead are all shorter than this Can you love us both Can you love us both enough?

The sun Will keep you young Just not your skin But what's within Needs light to grow So I don't know Where to begin With all of this And you're obsessed with broken bones Change the locks on summer homes We still got in Sleep in the sunroom Sleep in the sunroom with the windows open Sleep in the sunroom and I hold you so close Sleep in the sunroom to feel like you chose it
