Lyrics

Shapes like watermelon
Shapes that move in tides
I can’t seem to mind all the words you say
When you say em like that

Can’t figure out what to say
I think I’ll spit on your grave, ah
You see me a lie, a cardinal’s moment
You need me alive cause you can’t absorb it at all

Now I’m crawling back to your place
One hit I might trip in a new space
I can hate everything if that’s what you want me to do

Never mind in time
It seems that the light you thought was inside me was yours
And I’ll say it like that

Shapes like watermelon
Shapes around my mind
You know that the time moves faster when we
When you’re here with me

Four buttons undone
Knew you were the one
Up high with the stars
Who knew where you came from

Who knew where you came from?

GREEN

Lyrics

Coffee on the run
Music in the sun
I was having fun
Before you left me

I was like a child
We were having fun
Now it’s been a while
Since you left here

Guess I’m clean
Not my sheets
Call away,
But will you recognize me?

Let me paint a picture
And you go for a run
I just wish the answer was clean
But it’s not and I’m numb

Gotta cut the ceiling tile
And you’ve been on a roll
Making those people smile,
Yes, I know

Guess I’m clean
Not my sheets
Call away,
But will you recognize me?

Yes, I’m free
Processing
All the ways
That you won’t recognize me

Will you recognize me?

I went away and you went yours
Afraid, ashamed, the line you chose
I know it’s time for me to move on
To New York
And you go your way
But will you recognize me?

A ghost in Philly

Ghost in Philly

Lyrics

I don’t know whatever happened
“It never was an asset,” they say
“It never comes out for me
You never make time for this
Or anything at all that doesn’t pertain to you,” I said
“Everything comes away someday,” you say to me
But that’s not how it is

Can you park it to the tail grass tonight?
DIdn’t know that all your friends weren’t my kind
Ignore the changes that you made for me were never in vain
Until they were, until they were, until they were

FInally I see your eyes have changed
Never had to say the things you say to me that way

So don’t test it till the end
Cause I won’t make it
And I’m too close to call you all night

All night
All night
Like a lightyear passing by me

I don’t even know what’s happened right
But now I know what I was tripping on and that’s fine
That’s fine

So don’t test it till the end
Cause I won’t make it
And I’m too close to call you all night

All night
All night
Like a lightyear passing by me

Like a lightyear passing by me on the side

I am something that no one knows
Don’t take me by the rope cause I’ll let go

LIGHTYEAR

Lyrics

Back home in a silo I was
Young and dumb and out and numb
The weight of the frames you wore
Were over mine so I can’t see

The red you keep below the sleeve
And down the knees
I can’t believe it

I know the tidal wave
Will pass away the covered stains
You kept me far behind
Your back I see, the shoes beneath

The shit you knew would haunt you
And fall on me
But I get by

But I don’t know you still

Who are you?
Who were you?
Before the rain, the absent space
The red flame, the eyes beneath
The red frames I see

Who are you?
Who were you?

And I don’t know you still

RED FRAMES

Lyrics

All my inhibitions hate me
And all my friends get high
When it used to be me

So I cry and I laugh
But I hate the absence of
I know

I’m shadow boxing, babe
Don’t need your hand
The things you can’t relate to
Are the ones that haunt me down

Right when
You know the high it doesn’t stop here, does it now?

So now you know
What’s easily amusing now
The flame on the cap of that smile
That I made after I burn away

But here we go again
You are my only friend
The only one I know
The only one I ever hear from
And I come undone

“Just relax,” they said
Don’t need your hand
The things you can’t relate to
Are the ones they understand

Right when
You know the high it doesn’t stop here, does it now?

I’m shadow boxing, babe
Don’t need your hand
The things you can’t relate to
Are the ones that haunt me down forever

LEFT WEST

Same track, same number
Of tabs to count, of things to say

Small town, encountered
I can’t believe that I love the state

And then you ask how I’m doing
I don’t notice

Left west to California
Hot beach to melt this all away
I sleep without my shirt on
And I hate it when I cave in
It’s not worth it

And since you asked I’ll be here
Soaking nothing but the sun or the fear
Of losing out

Would it be so bad,
If I left west and held my head?

Northeast Drawl

Twenty thousand thoughts have just left my brain
I can’t remember a thing
I can’t remember a thing

In every fall I lose almost every time
And now I’m onto my knees
Trading dirt for the seeds
You’ve planted in rows
In rows

I just wanna talk about the way you think
When you stare into space
About all of your ways

And summer comes along and I have every right
To take the poison in me
And spill it back through your teeth
And you’ll wonder how
And you’ll wonder how

You sound like that when
You lived in the ground

The northeast drawl
When you’ve only lived down south

And you’re such a doll
But you’ve said it all before
But it’s getting old
And you say you talk too much

But I’ll keep listening in
I like to follow along
Though you’ve said it all before
And it’s getting old
It’s getting old

I could say goodbye to every part of me
But then what else would I be?
What could you ever see in someone like me?

I had meant to ask but I got scared again
Are they just thoughts or my needs
I’ll throw some dirt on the wounds that I just keep hiding
Keep hiding

And you don’t even know me
But you just keep talking that

Northeast drawl
When you’ve only lived down south

And you’re such a doll
But you’ve said it all before
Well it’s getting old
And you say you talk too much

But I’ll keep listening in
I like to follow along
Though you’ve said it all before
And it’s getting old
It’s getting old

You don’t even know me
But you keep talking that northeast drawl

And I keep listening in

Following Her

Following in your footsteps
I could’ve sworn I’d seen you walking yesterday
Or could it be somebody else that I’m missing

I could take what is given
If it’s handed to me in a nicer way
But I would think it’d be selfish
To stay away from all the things that I can’t change

So sorry
You had to find me like this
I guess I’ll follow her until I simply don’t exist

Break a piece in the alley
I gotta figure out exactly what I need
But how can I just separate what’s left of this

So divided I try to hide it from you
Or anything
I choose
To follow her until I hate myself even more than I do

So sorry
You had to find me like this
I guess I’ll follow her until I simply don’t exist
And honestly
I try to hide it
But I’ve been following her for so long I don’t know
If I exist anymore

Until I’m lost in my own world again
Anymore
Than I’ve ever been
And I’ll stay until the night bleeds out
And never did I think I’d let me down

And I did again

So I’ll stay until you’re bleeding out
And now I wonder what it is I found

To Say

Three years gone in a two-day winter storm
You held your hand out wondering where you went wrong
Through a telescope I see you there
In the city streets and your fresh cut bleached-out hair

I tell you girl it’s not your fault
It was the night life that got me feeling off

You said to get a grip but don’t feel proud
This bar is only big enough for the two of us
You laid your head and bowed your neck as we danced in the kitchen
Singing to the sounds from a radio wire

I tell you girl it’s not your fault
It was the night life that got me feeling off

I wonder what it was I did
But now it’s just a faded image

I wonder what it was I did
But now it’s just a faded image
Is there anything I could have said
To make it better
To make you stay

To Say

Lyrics:
Hope you’re struggling still
To take me out, to throw bone
I might catch you alone
Won’t take you out, won’t go alone

I’ve been waiting
I’ve been looking for a fight

Hope you’re dying to know
Where I’ve been and who we are
Seems like time moves about
The ampersand for bleeding hearts

I’ve been waiting
I’ve been looking for a fight

Hope you’re struggling still
To take me out, to throw bone

Dog House

Lyrics:
Give me something to get off my chest
I’ve been slowly picking at the rest
Tell me something to get off my mind
Cause I hate rewinding

And I know that you do too

Help me lean into the silence
Without you crying out
Tell me something to get out my mind
I know it’s hard to forget

But I know that you do too

How many times will I look for the answer in somebody else
An old telephone and a photograph
And I heard the sound from a void as sharp as a tack
It kills like a knife inside

But I know that you do too

Lyrics:
One foot, one two
At least they’re both headed in the right direction
Heard the noise you made with your tongue you’re in luck
And I’m a fool to tell you otherwise

Pick me up
Play a song that I know
So I can take it up too

Pick me up
Play a song that I know
So I can take it up too
Show me how to lose

I remember driving down Bay Road
Hardly sober since the last time
When time reflects my ears I hear her say,
“The worst is all you’re speaking of,”
And I’m a fool to tell you otherwise

So pick me up
Play a song that I know
So I can take it up too

Pick me up
Play a song that I know
So I can take it up too
Show me how to lose

From one to two
I see past the medicine

Pick me up
Play a song that I know
So I can take it up too

Pick me up
Play a song that I know
So I can take it up too
Show me how to lose

From One to Two

Lyrics:
Did you know I’m an artist
Kicking my throne, building a wall
And I paint my peeling skin purple and yellow
Red or a marigold

Baby I go to bed alone so you don’t have to worry

Do we all come apart?
In the end you will know after the Fall
And the flood keeps pouring in
Amber and mellow stems of my youth

Baby I go to bed alone so you don’t have to worry anymore

I’m shooting blanks when it’s April
Hungry for March
Where I could go back to the end
To the end

Baby I go to bed alone so you don’t have to worry

Canvases

Lyrics:
Never happens to folks like me
I’ve got a ten-year burn running up my sleeve
Another filthy habit to smother me
And I can feel you watching my tendency

To stop breathing
To stop get me out of here

Hold my cards she’ll never know
You had to pay your way in coins

And now it’s Kira snapping a photo for me
As proof to sell me out

To stop breathing
To stop get me out of here

Never happens to folks like me

So I’ll stop breathing
And I’ll stop until no end

And I’ll stop breathing
And I’ll stop until no end
