Shaking For Now
04:10

You called me up tonight,
I could smell your breath down the line.
Your cup was half way gone,
I decided to empty mine.
I wish you had it better,
I’m scared that you might die,
the way that you are,
Come one let’s go inside.
I can’t stop,
Shaking for now.
I can’t stop thinking of you.
Even if I wanted to.
Your tired eyes fixated,
I can’t give any of you away
Although I’ve seen the ending of the film you left behind
I still hoped the last scenes would change
I wish you had it better,
I’m scared that you might die,
the way that you are,
Come one let’s go inside.
I can’t stop,
Shaking for now.
I can’t stop thinking of you.
Even if I wanted to.

Who Can Say?
03:14
|

|
I say the words with my hands,
And I wake up late.
How long until I understand?
How long will you wait?
Stand on the edge,
Counting my breath
Again and again and again and again
That’s it I guess,
Counting my breath,
Again and again and again and again.
I’d say your name if you jump across,
Stand atop of that open door,
Do you need me anymore?
You don’t believe me anymore.
I’m only just scratching the surface,
Stretching my spine,
A steady gaze as I see them pass,
Catch them heavy on the vine
Stand on the edge,
Counting my breath
Again and again and again and again
That’s it I guess,
Counting my breath,
Again and again and again and again.
I’d say your name if you jump across,
Stand atop of that open door,
Do you need me anymore?
You don’t believe me anymore.
Who can say,
through the rain?
Walking straight.
Who can say?
I’d say your name if you jump across,
Stand atop of that open door,
Do you need me anymore?
You don’t believe me anymore.

We’ve seen almost everything,
Stayed wide-eyed through it all.
Both victims of a losing battle,
Gaining you to loose it all
Is this what you wanted?
‘cause I don’t like to see us like this,
Waiting for the other one to flinch.
We know now that nothing matters,
Behind the curtin is the same as where we are.
So pick it up or put it down cos,
Makes now difference it’s just who we are.
Is this what you wanted?
‘cause I don’t like to see us like this,
Waiting for the other one to flinch.

Blood
03:37

If I could just hold you close to me,
I could I have something to believe in.
And I’m outside of where I want to be,
In the pouring rain,
Callused and seething.
And I saw those little fires in the sky,
Burning white as if to tell us all,
“there’s no such place as Up or Down,
So pay no mind when you fall.”
My mouth is all filled up with blood
We throw ourselves in to the flood.
If I could just hold you close to me,
I could I have something to believe in.
And I’m outside, it’s where I want to be,
In the pouring rain,
Callused and seething.
My mouth is all filled up with blood
We throw ourselves in to the flood.
And nothing is,
Just what it seems
And when it sleeps
And when it dreams.
My mouth is all filled up with blood
We throw ourselves in to the flood.

Old Guard
02:55
|
|||
|
I’ll take my shirt off,
And look in the mirror,
Disgusted at what I might see.
And I’ll take a picture,
send it to you later
The monster staring back at me.
And I’ll starve myself hollow
So you see my muscles,
And I can feel more like a man.
It feels I exist,
Within only reflections,
Confused by my left and right hand.
I’ll see you again in the old guard.
I’ll see you again.
Poison was swimming,
Up through my bloodstream,
Effecting my decisions and thoughts.
That’s not an excuse,
Because I still blame myself,
Despite my intentions I’m caught.
I’m Lamenting tragedies,
And missed opportunities,
Wish I could convince you to stay.
I want to notice my successes,
And not just my grievances,
And when things don’t go my way,
I’ll see you again in the old guard,
I’ll see you again.
I’ll take my shirt off,
and look in the mirror,
Disgusted at what I might see.

Where You Find Yourself
02:59
|
|||
|
I fell asleep with my head under the covers,
So I don’t have to tell you what I think
And it’s not like anything even matters,
It’s stop motion the faster that I blink.
You’ll never know,
Just where you find yourself my love.
In the sea,
Or in the ground,
Or in the grey skies above
And when it’s time,
You can say you’ve had enough.
I wake up and then I just start walking,
Hoping that I get caught out in the rain,
Hoping it will wash away this feeling.
I’m left founded,
what else can I say?
You’ll never know,
Just where you find yourself my love.
In the sea,
Or in the ground,
Or in the grey skies above
And when it’s time,
You can say you’ve had enough.

Title Dictates Behaviour
03:26

|
Dissatisfied,
But built a life.
It’s just been pieced together,
So I can’t complain.
So juxtaposed,
But it’s what we need.
I know he’ll cover for me,
So I’ll strut in late.
I swear this time I’ll be better,
I won’t spit on anyone.
The harbinger,
I hate it when I’m right.
May never get what I want,
There’s no lints back there.
So what did you like better,
He won’t close for anyone,
Anyone except for me.
I swear this time I’ll be better.
I won’t spit of anyone.

Into The Fire
02:37
|
|||
|
In the middle I’m surrounded,
By the ghosts of shame and rust,
With my head held in my hands,
Can never wash it off.
I see myself reflected,
What’s the rush?
I cover up my eyes and my face is just a mask.
Are we crawling together,
While facing into the fire?
At very least confounded,
I stop myself and say
“if all of this means nothing,
Do I still walk the city in the rain?”
Are we crawling together,
While facing into the fire?

Some Days
02:48
|

|
Some days this hurts much less,
Some days it doesn’t hurt at all
Some days I crawl out of my chest.
Some days this hurts much less.
Some days I don’t remember you.
Some days I can’t picture your face.
Some days I just see through
Some days I don’t remember you.
Some days I do.

Newland Street
03:20
|

|
My skull is completely empty,
Dress in black, up the back
Of the bus.
I’m writing out my jealousy,
And for a moment it takes the wind out of my sales
And the cold is biting my lips
My hands dive in to their pockets
Running to the interchange,
Hoping that the gates don’t close,
Before I get there.
And I think that I used to be this lost.
But now I have a map,
But it’s useless,
With my sense of direction,
And my lack of perspective.
I’ve been holding on,
To what’s barely even there.
A whisper from a ghost,
A stranger’s life to bare.
And the cold is biting my lips,
My hands dive in to their pockets,
With no sense of direction
And a complete lack of perspective.
