Mourning Dove, pt. I

I sing in two octaves in this song, which gives an interesting effect.

Lyrics:

A moth in the coffee
Butterfly in my chest
I might as well swallow them
With my pride
My late reaction

But now
Like the bottom of the ocean
And life on other planets
We’re refusing to make sense
You
What we felt before we were born
What happens after we die
Why we’re not standing side by side

The feeling and the sound
Can I even tell between them
And yet here I am
You don’t have to worry so much
I could show you why
Only the best
Are built on a rock like ours

But now
The bottom of the ocean
Life on other planets
What I don’t know now could fill a book
You
What we felt before birth
Where we’ll go once we die
And you

Sense

How could I explain it on a night like this
I’m not a cautious person and it
Gets me into trouble

But oh when I feel it 
Oh when I feel it
Oh when I feel it
Red as the blood that I’m out for 

Look at me with those big sad eyes
So blue, I feel it too

Gathered with callous people, we embrace
Drunk on instinct you kissed me below my face
Spilling wine then spilling blood
It’s our mistake
But you swear, you swear, it’s okay

Oh, can you feel it
Blood on the snow now
How the steam exhales
We’re seeing red with a blind eye

Look at me with those big sad eyes
So blue, I feel it too

Our violent love
Made violet
Where are your walls now? 
Where’s the end now?

Lyrics:

Just keep walking slowly down the same road
I think you know exactly where it would go
Who you think you are
stands before the mirror
Just target practice for the real thing

Never thought I'd run into you out here
Lucky if the rain falls once a year
Get back in your car
Get away from here
They don't know that she did nothing wrong

Just don't make it easy
This time
How can you stand it
We love to reach and come back
So we can push away
I run straight through your head
How you did the same to me
You keep showing up
And why not? I would do the same to you

Witness Protection

Anthill

I don’t see
My own reflection
Anymore

I left behind those I loved the most
Here in the silence I let us fall
When you see me
Don’t recognize me
It only hurts

I will see
Your reflection
in me
Watch it confront itself
Between us

Time to walk the line
No one’s fault but mine

Alone now
One ship out on the dark
Don’t look for me 
Scrape the foundation and form the whole thing 
‘Cause what’s the point of anything less

And so I left
I hope that you’re okay
Not a day goes by without you

Not one day has gone by
Not one day has gone by
Not one day has gone by

I don’t see
My own reflection
Anymore

I will see
Your reflection
In me

Abandoned peace
Chose this life
Gave up my love

Now it feels wrong
to be happy
And move on

Originally by Corners

I often fantasize of what was once you and I
Until I realize
I hold my head above the waters as they rise
Over the city lights

I don't look backward, I don't look to side or side
I'm focused on the prize
I hung my history out on the drying line next to your suit and tie

You know that's not the man I am
If you say it, you better

I know my position I heard you read my rights
Don't ask me what it's like
I have one question before you go out tonight
Do you still wanna die? [originally: How often do you cry?]

You know that's not the man I am
You know that's not the way I am
If you say it, you better
We're changing
