FLOAT

Waiting
I'm waiting on you
Waiting
I'm waiting on you
Tell me is this fairy tale making sense
Or am I just talking to the walls again?
It's been too damn long without my fish or the ocean
(Haven't had a chance to float)
So the next time you're in town
Keep driving
And we can meet anywhere but here
This black hole

MATCHES
02:17
|
|||
|
Head first into shallow waters
I'm swimming with the stones that know me best
Sink to the bottom, recall why I'm flightless
I took the bait, feelings estranged
You took me in, but kept me as a stray
Your arsenic in my veins
Metallic twist as the door swings
Closed off from where we began
This place is empty, it must be home
It's easy to forget that
Kings are buried men
And so are you
Time was all that was precious
But I played with matches
Burning the clock

SHATTER
02:43
|
|||
|
Shatter
Every single piece of the mirror
Breaking chains as we fly
Only left with my fear
Of breaking bread with the deer
And my heart has two zip codes
And it burns in July
Fuck you, I came all this way to disappoint you
Every step of the way
Every day
It was never me, I thought it was always them
Shatter
Every single piece of the mirror
Breaking chains as we fly
Only left with my fear
Of breaking bread with the deer

LEFT HOOK
03:46
|
|||
|
Your eyes meet mine, and I'm alive
But there's something off in this
Hold it in your chest
Scrape the face off the photograph
Drifting in the wind
I let it pull me
Camping in the belly of the beast
I let you consume me
Athletes when told to run, they bust into a sprint
But I was frozen at the starting line
Movement from everyone as I stayed behind
I looked at the ground and then the sky
If the stars are a canopy, then this is a jungle
Fall down with me
Feel the pavement hit your bones
Last night, there was a wolf that watched me sleep
Guiding lies to lay down with me
Said "I'm correct", then he showed his teeth
Your eyes meet mine, and I'm alive
But there's something off in this
Hold it in your chest
Scrape the face off the photograph

Instead of suffering
What if you gave in
To the reservoir that lives in the back of throat and
Drown?
And if it's all the same
Then you'll go home
And never look back
Take back your couch
And the memories
That you made with him
While I was gone
Wish I flew over your head
And instead, I crashed right into
The bed was colder than before
But I found the room to stretch my legs
So I ran, and was content
with slowly erasing you

UNDER YOUR TREE
03:02
|
|||
|
Can you tell me
How we exit quietly
Without making a scene
Hold your sigh of relief
Your endless thrill is weeds
Pulling down on me
With your sight
With your sight, you'll find me
Under your tree
And if I'm behind,
The pull would bring all of you down
And if I'm the one who has the cure,
For your sake, I'd feed it to the ground
To lay next to the phone, in case I got that call
If we're honest with each other, then we know how to fall
Lost eyes scanning a room
Looking for the one
Panicked pupils skipping me
With your sight
With your sight, you'll find me
Under your tree with a beam of light
On the ground, next to me
I'll turn your sea into a puddle with only my knuckles
And see if fairness follows me

STOP APPEARING
01:55
|
|||
|
You can cut all my hair if you want
It doesn't matter to me
You can do what you want, if you please
After all, I'm your doormat, baby
You and your thick skin
Bet this time I'll win, but I will miss you
You can't used to the bottom of shoes
If you still got dignity
Fucking up the masses just to get our attention
I bought a plot of land, fuck a new reservation
I can't do things for me, I'm afloat at sea
Could you please stop appearing

BLEED
01:47
|
|||
|
You make me bleed
In your sleep
You know
That's hard to do
And I fuck up your flow
Just so you know
Now go
Count your sheep and I'll count mine
Whisper to my pillow, "I love you but I've never felt more alone"
Eyeroll
Justify me again, I need the attention
I care about my life, I guess, who knows what's supposed to happen
Bladder problems, stomach lining, stealing reservations
You make me bleed
In your sleep
You know
That's hard to do
And I fuck up your flow
Just so you know
Now go
Count your sheep and I'll count mine

ZOMBIES
03:26
|
|||
|
Some days, I don't want to
Face my own ambition
Glaring down the tunnel
Guess I'm afraid
Freak out all your neighbors
Zombies, all with collars
I could wait 'til I get older
Guess I'm afraid
Love left after the sunset
Driving back in silence, rubber burns
Distance to be desired
From the edge that demands something more

FADE . . .
00:53
|
|||
|
When the dust clears, watch me dissolve
Fade away so I can do nothing wrong
Transparent, I'm on my way
I think death already knows my name
|

INTO THE FOREGROUND
02:41
|
|||
|
Fading
Into the foreground
Hardly
Any chance for me
To say
My
Goodbye
You, tell me if you want to
But I noticed that you withdrew
Return to
The void that birthed you
In the dark, we stumbled until we found the switch
Slowly wandering the crust
Is it even worth it if you're gone?
I've been staring at the driveway at night
Searching for your headlights
Circiling back again
I'm the fool for thinking it would be different
Went to dive into bed, but I missed
And crashed into yours
Slowly wandering the crust
Is it even worth it if you're gone?
I've been staring at the driveway at night
Searching for your headlights

SILENCE
03:15
|
|||
|
Silence
Buys time
Everyone I know stares into a hole
With eyes like mine
And a mouth that can't form the words
Silence buys time
Empty time
We'll reconvene when this hour goes
Let's talk again, when these days are blown
Don't look down, you're home
Empathy seems to be lacking me
The looks people give when I walk in the street
I followed the voices but it left me
With spear ends, and a broken promise
I have the glue, just don't know how to use it
I might lose the cap
And lose myself at that
Feeling I'm alone in the crowd
Feels like it's endless
"Silence,
You're killing me"
I whisper softly where the clouds meet the sea
