Lyrics

My legs have grown so old from its joy and youth 
Yet I'm always up for walking, swimming, 
Spending hours talking with you, with you

I kind of really love the way you are 
And I want many more years to spend with you 
Out in the winters while the sun's taking the afternoon 
My Darling, though my pride may scare the both of us sometimes 
I'll set it all aside to keep you mine

Seasons may change and this love may take some work 
But if life had some sort of measure for counting all this joy and pleasure 
Mine would be full

And I want many more years to spend with you 
Out in the winters while the sun's taking the afternoon 
My Darling, though my pride may scare the both of us sometimes 
I'll set it all aside to keep you mine

My, you're looking lovely 
My, your gaze distracts me 
My love, it's yours to keep

My, My, My (Even Oxen Cover)

LYRICS

I woke up today
On earth, once again
Working and breathing and eating and sleeping but rarely now speaking

I ask why I’m still here
Hemming and hawing
Hoping for happiness, sinking back down to the madness, my silhouette, fear

Ah, ah, ah
Waves of emotion
Falling down on me
Back and forth endlessly

Ah, ah, ah
It creeps up on me
Positive and negativity
A pendulum ever swinging

Oh life keeps moving
All carillons and horns from the towers of men have not stopped
So I’ll keep floating
Around and around on this rock where the days keep on going and going and going and going and going around

Or maybe I won’t
I’m really not sure
Is there a heaven, a hell, a beyond, or a place without scorn

Oh I know I’m still here
Walking and breathing
Able to see all the beauty, the grieving, the wonder, the scheming of now

Ah, ah, ah
Bound by the cycle
Up and down it seems
The seasons keep on turning

Ah, ah, ah
Seismographic thinking
Mind of April growing like the leaves
But soon October’s calling

Oh so soon the earthquake's coming
And the waves will swallow us all up
In two places I always seem to be
But neither seems quite right to me

But life keeps going
And the bells of the towers, the sand in the glass will not stop
So I'll keep floating
Around and around on this rock where the days keep on going, the sun keeps on rising, the flowers keep blooming, the leaves keep on growing, the moon keeps on glowing
And this is an incredible existence
Just because it is an existence

Hoax Soul

And Going

LYRICS

Your mind can’t hold this weight
She won’t come ‘round for you anymore
You’ve made yourself a prisoner
To another one, you’ve become enslaved

But you must know she doesn’t matter
You must know she doesn’t care anymore
You don’t have to feel this way
You don’t have to feel this way

All the people, walking around, passing by you
They’re not talking to you, no they’ll never get to know you, they’re just
Part of your peripheral vision - just a figure
Wonder who they are but know you’ll never know for sure

All it takes is one, so they say, but who are they
They’ll never be stuck in your shoes, they’ll never walk the road alone with you
In a freefall one day; next day, high as heaven
Get me off this see-saw, I don’t need to be a happy hellspawn

Or angry angel
No it’s okay, I’m right as rain

Hyper-detached
Never come back
Suffocated by
Everything and everyone, these sensory overloading times
I just want to be normal for once
I just want my head not to explode
I can’t stop the overstimulation
So I can’t help but watch my distance grow

And yes,
It’s hard
Being on your own
But I love to be alone
This feeling, oil and water
Of needing love with space
Some room between embrace
A balancing act, the plates would fall so hard I know it
It’s all a circus, a whisper in my ear, ‘don’t blow it’
So why now even try, I say
I hate my fucking mind, I say
I hate my fucking mind, I say

Your mind can’t bear this weight
This world won’t stop for you anymore
Don’t make yourself a prisoner
You don’t have to play, by these modern rules

Oh you must know it doesn’t matter
You must know you’ll never be anyone
So you don’t have to feel this way
You don’t have to feel this way
You don’t have to feel this way
You don’t have to be this way
You don’t have to be this way

Be This Way

I love this song
