Orphan
03:34
|
|||
All the wild children know
Leave a good heart alone
You should bury family arms
Feel the weight
Of a tide rising high on your wings
In a world so silent
In a girl so wise
You are home here, orphan
Reemerge so numb
All the hours that we span
Take your time, know your plan
There’s an art, baby
Even to this
One you steal, one you heal, one you miss
In a world so silent
In a girl so wise
You are home here, orphan
Reemerge so numb
You are home here, orphan
Reemerge so numb

Paper Cuts
01:59

Curse upon your house
You pawn your watch, you pawn your gold
You’ve been living lies and tying ties
Forty dead-end years old
Paper cuts and giving up
Afraid of your own reflection
Nothing says “I love you” like,
“I did it for your own protection”
You jump, I jump
Do you need me?
You jump, I jump
Do you need me?
Better things, the reckoning
The emptying of your eyes
The elephant sags the floor
Hear the wood creak at night
Paper cuts and giving up
You never get good
No, you never get good
You jump, I jump
Do you need me?
You jump, I jump
Do you need me?

I couldn’t get enough of your eyes
When we’d lay around the ground we fought alone
Still life in stone
If you just lay where you are, I’ll be home
If you just lay where you are, I’ll be home
Saturday
The red leaves shed like years of shame
In your room, quiet
I couldn’t hide my grateful eyes from you
In another state
Years went and you got lost somewhere
I kept your picture
Always keep your phantom eyes on me
If you just lay where you are, I’ll be home
If you just lay where you are, I’ll be home

The River
02:06
|

I need a way back
Back to the river
And you might be young
But you’re not young
Only an aristocratic enemy
You’ve been better than you ever had to be to me
Come on, need a way back
Come on, home to the river
And you might be young
But you’re not young
Only an aristocratic empty gaze
You’ve been sleeping in
Remember when? Remember the days?
Go back to the river
Come on, home to the river

Yellow balloons
Rising in the sky over you
Yellow balloons
It’s the fabric of the world you’re bleeding into
If I only stayed
The barricades
Between us would fall so fast
The perfect fit
A tourniquet
In your eyes I see no time
Yellow balloons
They tore through a sea of flags to rescue you
Yellow balloons
It’s the fabric of the world you’re bleeding into
This gives us more than it takes
Their eyes keep saying what I can’t say
But they take so much
So much away
Maybe this gives us more than it takes
Their eyes keep saying what I can’t say
But they take so much
So much away
Yellow balloons
Rising in the sky over you
Yellow balloons
It’s the wisdom of a child we’re leaning into

Here With Me
03:54
|

Participate in your life a bit
Would you cry for me
I’ll do the same
And although eyes are blue
No one cries for you
And when they’re watching you
What do you say
You don’t dance with the devil baby
I need you here with me tonight
I need you here with me
You don’t dance with the devil baby
I need you here with me tonight
I need you here with me
And although eyes are blue
No one cries for you
And when they’re watching you
What do you say
You don’t dance with the devil baby
I need you here with me tonight
I need you here with me
You don’t dance with the devil baby
I need you here with me tonight
I need you here with me

Scary where to go from here
Scary how I love you
I am in awe of
All you can do with your
Tired brittle hands
You are so much more than
The night hunting you
Did I ever lend you rest
when you fell down girl
Scary how I love you
The care you take, take care
The care you take, take care
The care you take
We are so much more now
At night we hum to her
She will always
Shine on you when you fall down girl
And I’ll be around, girl
Yeah, I’ll be around, girl
And I’ll be around, girl
Remember everything
She is a room in our house
Remember everything
She is a piece of us now

Slow My Eyes
02:20
|

Onward, upward
Sold you a garden
It’s time to tend
Well I know your sign
How it’s telling me
All the pain you’ve seen
Slow my eyes down
Slow my eyes
Slow my eyes
Fade into light
