LYRICS
-
maybe
I just needed
a morning
to myself
-
you had it and then you lost it
along the way,
I think you dropped it off
for someone who needed it
you had it and then you lost it
along the way
I think you dropped it off
for someone who needed it
you never gave me what I needed
you think you tried
but you conceded/conceited
I never thought you were my leader
and then you call yourself a healer
you know you are what
what you believe in
I think you’re smart
but you’re not feeling
I’m standing here
and you’re not hearing
we only are what we believe in
you had it and then you lost it
along the way
I think you dropped it off
for someone who needed it
you had it
along the way
I think you dropped it off
for someone
I bet they needed it
needed it
you couldn’t give me what I needed
you only call me when you’re heated
and never ask how I am feeling
or if I have the space to hear it
you think I wanna feel defeated?
I got my own shit that needs healing
you think you are
what what you believe in
I know you’re smart
but you’re not feeling
I’m standing here
and you’re not hearing
we only are what we believe in
you
you had it
you
you lost it
you lost it
you lost it
lost…
do you lie to yourself
when you’re alone?
do you cry when you come
face to your soul?
do you live like
you never meant to die?
will you die
if you never mean to live?
you had it
you had it
and then you lost it
and you lost it
you lost
it
-
my heart wants clarity
and i need you to leave me here alone
before i lose all my sanity
and will you stop blowing up my phone
i need a break from your energy
you say you're not well when you're alone
but i don't want to be your remedy
no more
i don't want to be your remedy
no more
i think i forgot how to love someone like me
but i'll do it anyway with anyone
i guess i forgot what it feels like to be high
and i want
clarity
i'm gonna need you to leave me here alone
before i lose all my sanity
and will you stop blowing up my phone
i need a break from your ener gy
you say you're not well when you're alone
but i don't wanna be your remedy
no more
i don't wanna be your remedy
no more
need to see clear
need to be here
need to be present
while indulging in all your chaos
i was too afraid to fight it
now i'm too far gone to hide it
wanted love at least we tried it
want myself more than your guidance
forgive me if i'm rollin' rather slowly up the stream
forgive me if i wanted you more than my own dreams
for me i needed patience and lovin' and other things
how could i get clarity while you're hangin' onto me
(and i want)
clarity
i'm gonna need you to leave me here alone
before i lose all my sanity
and will you stop blowing up my phone
i need a break from your energy
yeah i know you're not well when you're alone
but i don't wanna be your remedy
no more
i don't want to be your remedy
no more
and i want
clarity
i'm gonna need you to leave me here alone
before i lose it
and please stop calling me
i need a break
i know you're not well
but i don't wanna be your
remedy
no more
-
you taught me to love
by giving too much
and now i'm sick inside
believing the lie
that i'm not enough
you taught me run
so i run my mouth
and the shit that's coming out
i hope they forget it
la la la
ooh oh
you taught me to fight
but you don't know why
and now we're out here bleeding
and leading double lives
you taught me to build
so i built this wall
and when i hide behind it
i can't find myself at all
la la la
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
you taught me to love
by giving too much
and now i'm sick inside
believing the lie
that i'm not enough
you taught me to build
so i built this wall
and when i hide behind it
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
i can't find myself
oh
oh
i can't find myself
-
you're not a hateful person
you're not a hateful person
you just don't know how to love
you're not a hateful person
you just don't know how to love yourself
and who would've taught you
well now i'm gonna say what i want to
and i don't want you anywhere near me
you don't even know who i am
i'm just a version of you
that you made up in your head
and that's not me
that's just the me in your mind
that's not me
that's just the me in your mind
it's the me in your mind
it's the me in your mind
you're not a hateful person
you're not a hateful person
you just don't know how to love
you're not a hateful person
you just don't know how to love yourself
and who would've taught you
well i've been trying hard to forgive you
even though you never said sorry
or admitted you were wrong
i know it's hard to believe
that i know who i am
and that it's nothing like you
and that's not me
i'm not the me in your mind
that's not me
i'm not the me in your mind
not me in your mind
that's the me in your mind
-
when you find yourself
spinning out
and you notice
it is getting loud
what i'll tell you is that
you're allowed
to break down
you're allowed
to break down
you're doing too much
you're doing too much
you're doing too much
you're doing too much
you're doing too much
you're doing too much
you're doing too much
when you find yourself
spinning out
and you notice
it is getting loud
and it gets so loud in there
i will tell you that you're allowed
to break down
you're allowed to break
you're doing too much
you're doing too much
doing too much
you're doing too much
too much
too much
it's not you
it's a systemic problem
it's not supposed to work
we need rest and restoration
and love
we need
love
we need
love
we need
love
we need
love
love

LYRICS

slow down
slow down
easy
before you run out
and burn down the field
you gotta learn how to turn down
stop reeling
and listen to the hum of the now
the hum of the now
listen
slow down
slow down
slow down
easy
get on a rooftop
get high up
and breathe
you gotta learn how
to come down
and start healing
and listen to the hum of the now
the hum of the now
listen
listen to the hum of the now
the hum of the now
listen
listen to the hum of the now
listen to the hum of the now

chasing your tail and I’m holding it
it’s overrated, being heroic
we need to renegotiate and you know it
and holy hell if you can’t get a hold of it
you’re in a lot of trouble
you’ve got the nerve
to think it would be alright..
counting your aces, you can’t hold them down
no one’s saving no one and not knowing how
don’t disassociate - you won’t know you’ve drowned
I swear to god if you don’t get a hold of yourself
hold of you, hold of you now
you’re in a lot of trouble and
you’ve got the nerve
to think it would be alright
to come over here now
oh you’re in a lot of trouble
I’m running out of words!
you gotta fight your devil
you gotta fight your devil
you gotta fight your devil
you gotta fight your devil
you gotta fight your devil
you gotta fight your devil
you gotta fight your devil
you gotta fight your devil
you gotta fight your devil
oh you’re in a lot of trouble
and I’m running out of words.
-
you raise your head
to tell me what I’ve done
all wrong
and everything that’s bad
about the way I talk to you
what I wouldn’t give for a photograph
I raise my voice
to tell you how I feel
I guess
it wasn’t what you needed
and I’m starting to think I’m someone else
what I wouldn’t give for a photograph
who knows
and who cares
you know there isn’t one way
you raise your head
to tell me what you’ve done
all wrong
and how all the thoughts you had
are now gone and they’re hard to get to
I raise my voice
to say you’re not alone
I guess
it died before it reached you
when I thought you looked like someone else
what I wouldn’t give
what I wouldn’t give
who knows
and who cares
you know there isn’t one way
-
sorry boys
I’ve given up on you
don’t be annoyed
I’ll tell you what we’ll do
oh - you don’t like it when I say what to feel?
like you might not be real?
take this time to heal
sorry boys
I’ve given up on you
don’t be annoyed
I’ll tell you what we’re gonna do
oh - you don’t like it when I push you around?
start from underground?
you’ll say nothing now
aye!
sorry boys
I’ve given up on you
don’t be annoyed
I’ll tell you what we’re gonna do
oh - you don’t like it when I tell you to smile?
we’ll be here a while…
we’ll be here a while…
we’ll be here a while….
we’ll be here a while….

the back of our heads
from what we know
we’ve got pictures
in the back of our heads
so what are we even seeing
if we might not need our eyes?
from what we know
our two blues are two different things
and what you’re feeling
is that the fear I’ve been feeling
who am I in real life?
for all we know
we don’t know
what am I
am I all in my head?
I’ve gotta go until I figure it out
or I’ll die
from what we know
comes back harder the farther you go
so don’t conceal it
I know we’ve got to heal it
who am I to decide?
for all we know
we don’t know
what am I
am I all in my head?
I’ve gotta go until I figure it out
or I’ll die

found him alive
with a gun by his side
it had been the whole time
and nobody noticed
and I’m sure he was fine
when they read him his rights
followed up with his wife

hear me
talking
in my sleep
hear
hear me talking in my sleep
never wanna leave
hear me screaming out the door
what are we fighting for?
and you can be right
or you can be safe
or you can be a righteous fake
but you are alive
you are alive!
even ok
dare I say balanced?
dare I say
hear me screaming up in arms
about how you live
just tell me I’m something
just tell me I’m focused
to fall in line
to set a table
to follow light
and you are able
you are able
hear me
talking
in my sleep

go look in the mirror
it won’t look like you
you’re seeing clearer
than you are used to
don’t pick up the phone
you’ve got a right not to
start listening harder
than you are used to
like you used to
you gotta hold it all together
now you know
you’re not the only one to get it now
so speak your truth
lean in to the weirdness
we came to do it
while working though it
you will find a new lens
they’ll call you odd
and we know we’re unusual
start listening harder
than you are used to
like you used to
You got to hold it all together
now you know
you're not the only one to get it now
you get it now!
allow your view to change
to get away with it
to get away
to get away with it
you’ve got to focus
to get away with it
you’ve got to fo-

you don’t have to hold it all
together now

you don’t have to hold it

oh we gotta hold on to each other now

oh we gotta hold on to each other now

waded through black hearts
and i followed around a circled mess
no one could tell me i was wrong
i knew i had you and you were all
i walked over stones
and lost my shoes
but not the trail of you
barefoot over burning forest floors
together riding out of the storm
even when the birds and worms are
crying
i’m fine
i cannot help myself
i must give you my heart
the best i give
i know i’m blushing but this rock
is hitting me in the head
and even when we’re old
and skin and bones
i will be smiling at you
if i become a ghost living
in your shoes
i’ll walk across the ceiling
i’ll walk across the ceiling
i’ll walk across the ceiling
even when we’re old
and skin and bones
if i become a ghost
i'll walk across the ceiling with you
even when the lonely world is fighting
i’m fine waded through black
followed you out
and now i have you

you are in a desolate hour
and following ground
rejected, abandoned
at every gate
just trying to find a place for your feet
to take care of your own
and to feel some kind of humanness
where did ours go?
where did ours go?
and here we are in our
holy white towers
that look down at you
crossing an ocean
on a fucking three dollar toy
and you wonder why it makes
any sense
why they can’t cross this line
this invisible line
where did ours go?
some kind of humanness
(go)
where did ours go?

released March 5, 2011LYRICS
-
I cannot ignore your diseases
Found myself scared of your
stupid broken arm
And somehow I justified it.
I'm sure you know-
In my head I can't be wrong
I can't be wrong
I can't be wrong
You were all I had to offer them
And you are also
someone I can't rely on
Don't be surprised to find
your room's re-arranged
I'm sure you know
In my head I can’t be wrong…
I can't be wrong
I can't be wrong
Yes, I know
you want to know what they said
Even if I tried
I couldn't say what they did
Just for the record
you don't know what you know
Please don't get mad for something
I couldn't
I coudn't help
(But it's not my fault...)
It's not my fault
It’s not my fault
It’s not my fault
Yes, I know
you want to know what they said
Even if I tried
I couldn't say what they did
Just for the record
you don't know what you know
Please don't get mad
for something I couldn't help
Please don't get mad
for something I couldn't help
Please don't get mad
for something I couldn't...
...I couldn't help.

we have very nice things
we have a girl in the warmer
we have wonderful names
we have perfect alignment
we have closets of games
we have funny exchanges
we have family dinners
we have people who like us
We have a very big garden where nothing grows
Built like no one had ever seen something grow
One by one they will notice
This has not been our focus
We have parents to blame
we have no conversation
we have buried our banks
we have seasonal anger
We have a very big garden where nothing grows
Filled with falling white flowers
In rows and rows
One by one they will notice
This has not been our focus
We have work complications
We have polished our punch lines
We have no one to save us.
We are hurried and thoughtless... -
Were you really a pilot?
Were you going insane?
Were you following Jesus
with your aeroplane?
Were you out out-voted?
When you made the call?
What a view of the mountain...
Though I hate to say it...
You finally found a way
To occupy the space...
Did you know you were going ?
Did it feel like the end?
Did you see it coming?
Did you happen to notice?
Did you fall in love
at the last moment?
What a view of the mountain...
What a view of the mountain!
What a view of the mountain!
What a view of the mountain!
What a view of the mountain!
Though I hate to say it
You finally found your fate
Your searching heart was achin'
What a view of the mountain
What a view of the mountain
What a view of the mountain
What a view of the mountain
And though I hate to say it
You always found a way
Of planning an escape
Now you know where you're going
Now you'll make no mistake
Now you're following feelings
In a mystery place
Can you take it all in
For the ones who love you?
What a view of the mountain...
