Sleep it Off 03:20
Counting up clovers, leaves on your shoulders Waking up slowly, sleep it off slowly Walk through the heathers, northern Septembers Sneaking up slowly, walk it off slowly I know this all won't change fast Pulling weeds out between blades of grass Taking steps like never before Trying not to step on the thorns Keep it together smoking lavender Take it in slowly, inhale it slowly Fast burning fire, growing up higher Put it out slowly Let it die slowly I wonder how we'll get by Finding rain in the corners of our lives Feeling temperatures rise at the core Trying not to let it pour. Oh this volcano, raging volcano Burning up, burning up Ocean is breathing, tree tops whispering Turn it up, turn it up But then light like a sunrise, shining off the belly of a bird You come back into my life, slow and steady like earth But you're fire and I'm water, you've got me boiling over I don't wanna let you go, but I cannot hold on forever Drink up the water, purest spring water Drink it up slowly, take it in slowly Fast moving river, freeze in November Breaking ice slowly, melting it slowly I feel, feel how you feel A giant step in a wide open field You've got trees growing between your feet But my love is too strong to keep.

Open your chest and let it all out Cause I'm not gonna hold back a shout I'm made up of wings I'm gonna work on flying Here you can count all of your bones One by one until you lose track I've got too many ribs, They're gonna keep my heart in a cage Cause I'm still casting this ribcage armour, for the fight And I've got, one thing I can't stop thinking about, protect the heart I'm gonna start, start letting go Inhale in the day and go on, exhale at night I'll fill up my lungs till they can't fill no more Until my breathing rhythm is as steady as the ocean I'm not gonna, ohh ohhhh ohh.... Careful now, cause you don't want one bone to break All of these years and just a hairline fracture Strength in the marrow, bones as tough as an arrow I'm still casting this ribcage armour, for the fight. And I've got one thing I can't do without, protect the heart.

Vanitas 04:58
I never know what's behind in the black background Gonna find another line to cross to settle my mind Gonna fill a room and get used to it, before I fall apart Cause I've got chances laughing at my beating heart I've got chances tearing me apart If I stay, If I stay too long will you ask me to go If I come on too strong will you leave me alone But if I let it, If I let it all fade away well then what will I have left to say I've got chances dropping from my eyes I've got chances hiding in disguise Well I wasn't expected this to shift When what's in front of my eyes in only a trick And I'm grasping at what I can't see, I don't wanna miss Is it better to leave this in the dark Or should just bring it to the light All I know is real is what I can feel What's alive, what's still alive and what I can breathe life into The bleakness of the last landscape that I grew close to I've got chances hanging from my arms I've got chances if I just let it go Well I wasn't expecting this to shift When what's in front of my eyes is all adrift I'm grasping at what I can't see in the dark Was it better to have brought this to the light Or should we just have left it in the dark

Well I've got one unfortunate heart This is something I've been trying to work out They say lucky in money, unlucky in love But I gambled away all my cash and now I've spent all my But I don't know you and you don't know me You're just some distant part of my memory I don't know you and you don't know me We're just two people living in the same city The same goddamn city DIfferent parts of the same city The same goddamn city I found this place on a weather chart When you don't know where to go next it's best to follow your heart One month deep and it's a wreck Never thought things would fall apart so quick But I don't know you and you don't know me I guess that means that we were never meant to be Yeah I don't know you and you don't know me Does that mean that we were never meant to meet The nights are shabby in the days I'm weary And there's nothing left here, nothing left of me The nights are shabby in the days I'm weary And there's nothing left here, nothing left of me. But if I see you, or you see me, walking over this raging city Those highways braided the sky seems faded I'm waiting on your message but it will never come But I know you and you sure know me And that's why I can't just go on and forget about you Yeah I know you and you sure know me And that's why I can't just go on and move on from you Yeah I know you and you sure know me And that's why I think that we were always meant to be Yeah I know you and sure know me And that's why I'm walking around these streets aimlessly

White Crane 05:11
All of these white cranes are flying above my head All of these fields are reflecting skyscrapers And I'm just sitting here waiting for some kind of sign I'm in the forest surrounded by city scape And I'm in the mountains I'm held back by metal gates No matter where I am, I'm never all that far from the sea You've got a reason to build up those walls Those grey cold walls But I don't think that you know what you're up against Got a heart made of cement So I walk to through gate and up one hundred and three steps to the top where the forest opens up and from there I can see the wings of a thousand white cranes And I counted them each and I watched them take off My heart started beating an adrenaline rush But all I could hear was the sound of the dead rustling leaves. This kind of thing doesn't happen a lot You gotta pick the right spot When all the neon blaring noise goes on turns off Then what will be left All of these real cranes, will turn into paper and get folded again Then tied, tied to a string Just like a discarded bad fortune Just like a feather caught in the wind All the remaining pieces falling. I'm looking forward to walking away from you And I'm looking forward to staying in bed with you But no matter where I am, I never quite belong. Cause I'm just the blue heron I will always be the blue heron

Black smoke, billowing from a shared toke We got so drunk that time, no one remembers what happened that night And it changes so fast They say nothing really ever lasts When you choose who your body chooses And it's hard to let go of that Hands on hands Judging the length of them Measuring space between Finding excuses to touch Starless night, you stay till the morning light And you look in my eyes For so long, how can you see that far Careful love or at least pretend to be careful When I hold in my words too long And then choosing to hold them some more Hands on hands, calculating lines on them Observing the way they bend Finding excuses to touch

Out Loud 05:09
One restless night and one restless day When you find yourself pulling away And you lack all the right words to say But it doesn't matter cause there's nothing left anyway I took quite a fall but I knew it all along Oh but if you just keep me in the know I'm gonna try to be so strong And all the things that I counted on in one night Suddenly changed with the new days slanting light And I can't just turn and walk the other way Cause I've come too far to not try and stay I took quite a fall and I knew it all along But I'd do it all again or am I just trying to appear strong What gives hope oh babe I never know But this kind of silence You know you're pulling me through so much anxiety I never knew what it felt like to forget how to breathe The lump in my throat saying all I can't say And that grey in your eyes is giving everything away Why don't you go on, go on just say goodbye And I'll try real hard not to cry out loud Out lout, out loud, out loud..... You're the moon and I'm all that missed it And the sun never ceased to come up I know without you I'm gonna be okay I just gotta wait for the sheen to wear away I took quite a fall and I knew it all along But if you just tell me the truth I'm gonna try to be so strong

Come stumbling in, in from the cold Snow in your eyes, adjust to the light And if I could draw a line, from my heart to yours Well then maybe I would see, just how lucky I've been And in this senseless life Things are too bright You throw off your shoes I keep dreaming about you And when everything stands still And then happens again Like a picture in a frame I keep moving around the room Oh and if only time could tell but we keep changing Oh but when it all comes down to it the truth is we're exactly the same I just smile a little less and you smile just a little bit more It's the first snowfall of the year and it keeps coming back I'm making patterns that I'll never clear the snow keeps coming back And just when I start to let go, the snow keeps coming back Who'll be the first, the first to say no When I'm the last person you look at when you leave the room It's so cold here now, but I can't seem to leave Snow coming down, new on the ground I don't know what this means, 'cept the seasons have changed If I hold you like and then leave the next day Will you keep coming back or just be on way I keep asking for one, just one more night I keep asking for one, just one more night I keep asking for one, just one more night And you keep giving me one, just one more night
