[LYRICS]
she drug my body to the edge of the river
she tossed me in and then waited for winter
sunk to the bottom the world is without me
they drained the water and that's when they found me

drain the water

darkness rises from the ashes of something that you thought was dead
it's bubbling and spitting acid chunks at your head
the path that lies before you is full of dread
but you cannot turn around for fear of death
it calls out to you, the distant cry
of someone you love, you want to try
to save them if you can tonight
but i have a feeling you're going to die
before you can reach her, eyes in the dark
on a distant planet, playing guitar
your strength is depleting, you cannot move your arms
myopathy sets in, you don't get very far

[LYRICS]
as i'm approaching the edge of the tree line
darkness encroaches around me
branches have fallen in the winter deadliness
walking through the path that was once there now overgrown
i just wanna die in cold
i just wanna die all alone
icicles drop from the top of the trees and they're
murdering everything down in the leaves and i
don't wanna die but it just might be my fate tonight
making my ride to the east through the night 
i just wanna see your face in the light
one last time before i die

[LYRICS]
i'm in the woods at the edge of the creek
and the water runs deep
through the valleys and peaks
and my eyes looking up to the sky in the night
and the moon shining bright
but the darkness remains in the forest round me
i hear the cries of the wolf in the distance
i'm at the end of the line and i'm wilting now
sleeping alone while i dig my own grave in the dark

wilting

by the bay

[Verse 1]
You talk about the stories that you write at night
I get lost in every line
You say it’s nothing special, but to me it shines
Like little pieces of your mind
You hide your face when the screen goes red
Scared of the ghost, pull the blanket instead
And your laugh, yeah, that sound feels right
seeing you makes the long weeks fly right by

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t owe me anything
I don’t want to change a thing
I get happy when you say my name
It echoes in my chest like rain

[Chorus]
I’ll wait, not ‘cause I think you’ll fall in love
Just ‘cause no one else feels close enough
You make the world feel soft again
And I still feel it, yeah, I still feel it
I’ll stay, not to cross that line again
Just to see you smile now and then
That’s the best reward I’ll ever get
And I still feel it, yeah, I still feel it

[Verse 2]
watching movies with you and
You hide from the screen when the monster shows
But I see that light behind your pose
You say it’s dumb, but it’s cute to me
How you flinch, then laugh nervously
I ain’t here to make it weird
I just love when you’re right here
Every word you say feels right
You make peace out of my night

[Bridge]
No pressure, no weight, no rush
I just like your kind of rush
The way your thoughts all sound like dreams
The way you bring calm to the noise in me
I’ll still care, I’ll still show up
You don’t need to feel the same
I just like the way you say my name

[Chorus]
I’ll wait, not ‘cause I think you’ll fall in love
Just ‘cause no one else feels close enough
You make the world feel soft again
And I still feel it, yeah, I still feel it
I’ll stay, not to cross that line again
Just to see you smile now and then
That’s the best reward I’ll ever get
And I still feel it, yeah, I still feel it

[Outro]
You got that glow I can’t undo
Every word you say feels new
And I still feel it... yeah, I still feel that thing with you
