start to end
04:10
|

when the early earth birthed you & I
atoms drawn in a tide
and our souls collided did it spark their lives
the way you lit mine?
and then when our bones feed the earth
broken hands intertwined
will they rattle its heart
deep inside
the way you shook mine?
can you feel the years and ancient tears
carving rivers through our hemispheres
flowing down your cheek
into my breath
as we start to end?
has he healed your heart
does he paint your sky
when you cry
does he kneel beside
and kiss your eyes
the way you kissed mine?
(you kissed mine)

everything's in control
take a deep breath, bottle it slowly
everything's in control
take a deep breath, swallow it whole

a quiet grace settled on our frigid frames
you read my name and everything around us changed
and our tempos turned to tangled tandem in our veins
and all else to noise, just rain against a window pane
well, irrigate my arid brain
mark this darkness with your name
hold my hand and brave the squall
guide me gently through it all
elevate my heavy chest
steal every second breath

tiny world
04:37
|

I'm mesmerized by the grand design and structure of your spine every mark inside filling up the skies of your waking eyes when they're open wide reflecting mine
girl it's a tiny world with you by my side
yeah girl it's a tiny world with you by my side
yeah girl it's a tiny world
and I'll walk with you to the very edge
yeah, I'll walk right to the very edge
and I'll walk with you to the very edge
yeah, I'll walk right to the very edge
and so obliged to walk your countryside still mesmerized by the burnt sunrise in your waking eyes when they're open wide reflecting mine returning blind
girl it's a tiny world with you by my side
yeah girl it's a tiny world with you by my side
yeah girl it's a tiny world
and I'll walk with you to the very edge
yeah, I'll walk right to the very edge
and I'll walk with you to the very edge
yeah, I'll walk right to the very edge
is this real love?

regret
03:15
|

regret crept in quietly through a hole in your fence and she paid off the garden gnome patrol
and she crawled up the walls with her spidery arms and she slid down the chimney to you
yeah, regret slid the chimney to you
and she rode on the back of a voice from the past to her nest in the back of your brain
and she tore through the houses and the summers of youth and she burned every memory you own
yeah, regret burned the memories of you
then she slipped out the door on the tips of her toes to a passageway straight to your heart
and she curled up inside it and forced you to look, oh she held up a mirror to you
yeah, regret held a mirror to you
yeah, regret held a mirror up to you
regret held a mirror up to you
did you grieve the man you saw?
did you grieve the man you saw?
did you grieve the man you saw?
did you grieve the man you saw?
when regret held a mirror up to you
when regret held a mirror up to you
when regret held a mirror up to you
regret held a mirror up to you

high iq come visit me
I'm down here I'm drowning I'm hung up I'm reckless not careful like I once was
high iq you always said
you'd love me forever we'd grow old together I don't know what to do now
catapult me through
all good thoughts of you
I don't know what I'll do
all I need is
high iq won't marry me
I'm losing my patience I'm losing my virtues I'm losing my way without you
high iq come rescue me
I'm pacing I'm passive mind racing heart captive I don't know what to do now
catapult me through
all good thoughts of you
I don't know what I'll do
all I need is

heartless
04:51
|
|||
thought I caught the earth crash through your window
but call me crazy
probably could've stopped it if you really wanted
cause you're amazing
how everyone I know is shedding branches
it's contagious
said I'd never get this far without you
it wasn't easy
I couldn't let you leave without a proper funeral
I'm not heartless
step outside your world and then a thunder
just tremendous
everywhere I go explodes it seems
like it's relentless
though I'll never lose this memory of you and me
I wouldn't go there
said I'd never get this far without you
it wasn't easy
I couldn't let you leave without a proper funeral
I'm not heartless
