so we are bound
cheek to cheek, by the passing of me
and i've got love up my sleeve
but i'll never show you what i'm thinking
in desperation, those hands i seek
they can see what's underneath
so i pull away, to be alone
let me show you that i'm open so you know

and every night passes in a blur
i'm worried and i exhale my cover
i want you to see all of me
but i'm scared of who i am underneath
i've never given much thought to my passing soul
i guess if i do, i know i'm alone
and i can't face that reality
but it's the only thing that haunts me

so we're both blue and full of rhyme
we sing little tunes to pass the time
avoid all that has yet to be said
and let our voices bleed out the rest
i know that i'm lonely and taste like wine
i know you experience the end of times
but i swear we are not what we are not
just in another phase of owning up
but i swear we are not what you think we are
just passing souls with matching scars

my hope is boundless but it sometimes sinks
and you are how i picture sweet relief
but to be naked in a way that keeps me covered
i can only get that with you and no other

boundless (demo take 2)

in your little hands
the grain of sand
that shows time
is ticking fast.
sugar coat who i am
to justify my plan,
but you were
the sweetest part of me.
to hide my love
in a vacant sun
where april's haze
twists into the ozone.
we would've been golden,
just you and me, sweet singing.
but i gave you up
to give you more --
there's no glory in lost sound.
there's no glory here anymore.

little hands (demo take 1)

dig deep down in my dream
keep your feet planted
and sprout your roots and things
we've both got wings
but i'll stay put if you stay with me

i'm scared you'll cut me at the root
i know that isn't you
my mind will play tricks until i can't move
but i know you want it too

you move with such grace
my faith healer, my way
gather me up, all my limbs and pieces
you make me feel the things i've been needing
what's this feeling? tell me, what's this feeling?

wrapped up in an ocean
that doesn't make a sound
you come close
and i forget what i'm all about
i don't believe in days of heaven
but you're coming close
i really thought i'd wanna be alone

chorus

you say, "let me in your world
i know where to go
so you don't feel alone.
we're made of the same
cosmic substance
pulsing from our souls
let it all go."

roots (demo take 1)

surfacing (rough one take demo)

below the salt
is something sweet
a disco fever
i dream

below the salt
touch me sweet
i guess i'll be okay
when i'm in deep

'cause i can't touch it
and i don't want it
or so i say
to feel so deeply scares me
another dark to contain

i know i'm rough on the surface
sandpaper to your skin
but below these ocean remnants
i've got something to give

i don't know what to say
i've never had the words
and now i'm drowning
in the lost sound i never found
on the dancefloor
in my gore
i don't know what the feeling's for
something else i can't hold
i've always been on my own

below the salt (demo thing)

crooning soft songs in the dark
for your quivering brain, a lost spark
i'll hold you until the thoughts unwind
i know it's hard to untangle those wires

but it'll pass just like every other moment
the light'll show if you just keep looking
i'll guide you to the nearest star
and if you search for me, i'll never be far

open sky, your lost eyes
i'll follow you down a crooked line

oh my love listen to this song
i hum to you when the world feels wrong
you know it's all in your head but it's hard to come down
i'll stay with you til you figure it out

though it's fleeting, the time passes slow
we're building a fire that burns eternal
you showed me love isn't brutal
i'll wait til you settle down, won't move a muscle

dark sky, opal eyes
i'll follow you down a crooked line

soft songs for my lover (demo take 1)

like some old film (demo take 2)

rubbing roses on my belly
to ask for your forgiveness
my knees like jelly
i dream of a loose cadence
don't forget the river is a home
made for two
but i couldn't choose you

rosebud lips
fall into my abyss
careful touch
don't give me much
i only ruin love

i have a funny mouth
it quirks when it lies
you see it now
from the other side
my eyes were once full of light
til you faded out of sight

i'm no saint but i swear i loved you all the same
i'm sorry for your fate but i couldn't live that way
