Lyrics:
You there, use your morning feet, 
get out of the street and find your feeling 

I'll be there, in your mourning sea 
battered on the beaches of your tears 

I'm bleeding too much water from my eyes. 
I'm heading for the ground I'm going blind. 
You do the best you can to be okay. 
but I'm doing what I can and there's still hate. 

Feel it. Your mind is coming back, 
wiser from the weight of your travels 

So be there. Time is all you have. 
Hold it in your heart against your habits 

I'm bleeding too much water from my eyes. 
I'm heading for the ground I'm going blind. 
You do the best you can to be okay. 
And I'm doing what I can but there's still hate. 

you there 
be there 
feel it 
be there 

you there 
be there 
feel it 
be there

Windows

Lyrics:
I found another piece of the rough
Another conversation
I found a way to let you go
if you'd be patient
I know the place that you've been
It's sink or swim
Tying Anchors to your knees
and reaching for my hand

I will give what I can
but you won't take it
I've seen all your weak attempts
that you've forsaken
Life is of a design
It's what you make it
Look out and see with different eyes
Time's what takes this

Free yourself

Self Help

Lyrics:
Walking with my car
Breaklight faces call across the pavement
leaving me a line
pulls me up to see what I've been missing

Within and without
Looking down I see my metal carriage 
part of something more
Dayphase keeps me going on an axis

It's funny how we fall
Trapped inside a box of our creation
clawing at the walls
Dayphase keeps me calm and collected

Dayphase

Lyrics:
My, my sound
is a soft ground
That you fall on
After a rough day 

I rage against
my indifference
But you're still here
sinking my flotilla

Flotilla

Lyrics:

Stuck inside a ship that goes nowhere
Floating on the thoughts that grip the air
Slipping on the steps that lead me out
a shallow depth of field keeps me in town

Looking down into a swirling sauce
Made of second chances turning off 
can I muster movement in these arms?
To push away this past I'm holding on to

In Town

Lyrics:

We stand in the
blue garden
A gallery
of moments

I plant my seeds
While knowing
The will is split
to grow them

I'm stuck on this
the question
to run the risk
to wreck it

My hands can't hold
the weight of
losing you
your moments


We bend
We break
enough 
already

So I
Hold on
When things 
seem steady

Seeds

lyrics:

Walking through a 
wave of clear mud
a familiar sensation that bleeds
through your bones. You melt to
the breeze

Moments, pathways,
between/connect the days
I've been sitting at the window so long
staring blankly at figures/faces on their way

Gone for a while until you cease
making up patterns to the scene
man, there's no time just let it be
but I've been staring for so long

Pinned

Lyrics:

I need to move
I need a moment
Cause' I can't talk to you

You're losing me
What's the use?

Always othering
those around you
Where do you get off?

Kirkland

Lyrics:

You sit on a hill in
the center of a dream
"wait up", I call softly
you don't seem to hear


I walk up heart in hand
you won't seem to see
"I'm here, I'm your anchor"
you just fade to green

I'm waiting
Lauren
I'm wating

Lauren

Lyrics:

As I lay
dissecting scenes that don't make sense
I spin a web

Path on path
a chandolier of all I am
watch it collapse

Look what's left (this I know)
shapes and pieces on the floor (scenes and faces)
moving as one

I'm mixed up (this I know)
watching memories unfold (in my head)
over and over

as I lay
dissecting scenes that don't make sense

Unfold

Lyrics:

Sifting through the sand
of your outstretched hand
looking for a sign
that there's more this time

Either way I'm lost
I can't bear the cost
It's burnt on my face
stuck on Mt. Mistake

I can be there when your not
It's an offer, It's an offer

To know you when you don't 
It's an offer

So HET

lyrics:

My lips tremble as I eat the 
sky with a knife and fork my eyes are
Bleeding swallow up nebula 
The blood rust takes it's toll

my hands do hold 
the ropes that fly across
a never ending star filled sky with trees 
that's roots grow all over me 

leave it all
in your back yard
lay it all out
as you see it

break it down 
into bits you've been through
walk out the door
calm and clearer

yea it gets a little hard sometimes
but you've got what you need
to make it right

I remember Joshua Tree
laying under infinity
wrapped up in the speckled hand of awe
whispering you are all

Top Down

Lyrics:
Corduroy and foil on a pile of perennials
I like to meet like to meet you in the calla lily catacombs
The bigger the hand the better at palm
Why don't you ask them in the back what is the price of falling off

I wish I could have it all

You've got me thinking my heads in the ceiling
Legs bound in a strange ballet
Oh Annie here we come, Annie here we come
That's the way it is and farewell with arms

Pull me into arms
