Kind / Of
05:47

When you cut my heart out and stayed a while
Did I pull the outside in or my insides
Out / of body and out of mind
I can't be honest so I'll be
Kind / of impossible to read ‘cause
It's dark even when we keep the lights on
You always think there's something on my mind
I could never really know it
My eyes were out of focus, but now I see it
All / my words
Bear some curse
Wind it up and
Throw me your worst
All our time
In this bed of mine
Takes a breakdown to reverse
And I
Know everything's fine when you skim the first pass
You said it was wrong to not give you a second
Chance / ain't worth it for the rest of my time
When every hour we roll these
Dice, even though wherever they fall
The only thing I am assured of is
I’m always doing something else wrong
I never really noticed
My eyes were out of focus, but now I see it
I can’t be honest
I can’t be honest
I can’t be honest
I can’t be
Honest, so I’ll be
Kind / of impossible to read, ‘cause
It’s dark even when we keep the lights on
You always think there’s something on my mind
You think there’s something on my mind
You think there’s something on my mind

Changing
05:36
|

I’ll stay, stay with all that I have seen
Stay, stay
I’ll say, say only what I need to
‘Cause that’s just the easiest thing
I used to jumpstart at anything, yeah
Now I keep moving in the ways that I once knew
‘Til I can’t imagine
Anything other than the sounds within this room
No I can’t imagine anything
I can’t imagine anything
‘Cause nothing’s sacred anyway
All the plans I thought I made
Is it my mind or just the times that got this way
If it’s my mind then there’s no place to hide away
Away
I’ve gotta get to the other side, I know
I’ve been stuck in a waiting line of my design
Is it my mind, or just these times
That’ve been changing changing changing
They say to look out for anything now
‘Cause nothing’s as it seems
And it’s all gotta begin somewhere
The best part of anything is
When it’s breaking at the seams
And I’m seeing everything now
So clear
‘Cause it’s all sacred anyway
All the plans I’m gonna make
But it’s so hard to take that one step every day
If it’s my mind then there’s no place to hide away
Changing
Is it my mind
Changing
I’m gonna get to the other side, I know
I’ve been stuck in a waiting line of my design

Expectations
04:11

Sunday morning, flying out
This city raised me from the ground
But nothing's ever as it seems
Waiting for what felt a year
Setting sights and drinking fear
Wind it up and let it run away, away with me now
Away away away
No— I've got it together and
No— What if she makes it better yet?
The thought's been lifting up my heart but it's not fair to think this
No— But she's so kind and
No— We'll give it a try
No— What if love at third sight—
No
Great expectations
Always tumbling out right when I know it’s wrong
Great expectations
Always stumbling outright but never gone
How did this get so insane
Rewriting routes within my brain
‘Til all the boundaries start to fade
What if she’s not at the phone?
I flip a coin and grab my coat
Can’t stick around to watch it land
I’ll always side with her, so
I’ll always side with her
No— But what am I doing here
No— Just keep your head clear
Did I surrender up my heart, oh it’s not fair to think this
No— But I’m alright, yeah
No— Just gimme a sign
No— What if love at third sight—
No

Open Wide
04:50

Been trying to find some way now to say it
I’ve given up on working to make this feel right
‘Cause so many words fell into their places
And I cannot hide
I cannot hide
So tell me this is right
What constitutes disaster?
We’re loosening the line
And promising thereafter
If you say it’s fine, could be overnight
I'm absolving everything
I know it all just falls in time
But you know
I’m not built for choosing sides
Door open wide right in front of me
And I can’t close my eyes
I can’t decide how it oughta be
With no end in sight
With no end in sight
If everything happens for a reason
I don’t wanna move for fear of blocking its light
I sense in your fingertips that you’re fleeing this feeling
But I cannot fight
I cannot fight this
Door open wide right in front of me
And I stop keeping time
I can’t describe how it’s haunting me
With you on my mind

Monday Morning
05:48
|
|||
Sunrise, sundown
Up and around and I gotta go
Sunrise, sundown again
Facedown, tapped out
Thank God for things I don’t gotta show
I’ve got it figured out
I’ve got these
Monday morning stratosphere blues
Spent Sunday waiting for these
Monday morning stratosphere blues
Spent Friday’s savings knowing
There’ll be stratosphere blues
Monday morning
Stratosphere blues
Bite down, don’t shout
Backhand the sound as it goes again
Hard wired to fight it out
What’s left to lose
Don’t hold your breath, what if I refuse
To explain my worth to you

False Apathy
03:51
|
|||
You, bright and hazy
You came towards me
You move like headlights in early morning
Slowly, and almost smiling
Then racing
I felt the impact before it hit me
In your eyes I can see
My false apathy reflected back
We’re trapped by gravity
Still orbiting light that can’t last
I said, I’ve really missed this
Then we just
Exchange our pleasantries as they’re needed
No laughing like we used to
Just searching for
What we buried here in September
In our lies I can feel
The weight of all we left unspoken
We’re trapped by gravity
Still orbiting but still broken
Please say this isn’t how it ends
Oh please say
No just say
Oh please say
No just say
This isn’t how it ends, love
No, this isn’t how it ends
No, this isn’t how it ends, love
No please say
This isn’t how it ends
In your eyes I can see
My false apathy reflected back
We’re trapped by gravity
Still orbiting light that can’t last
In our lies I can feel
The weight of all we left unspoken
We’re trapped by gravity
Still orbiting but still broken
Please say this isn’t how it ends
