Lyrics:

Oh it’s done, and now you’ve fallen off the wire
Oh it’s done, you had an opportunity
Is this what the deathbed feels like?
I’ve been losing time
Until today
And almost everyday

Oh it’s done, and now they’re closing all the bars down
Oh it’s done, and it’s all changed since our first year
I don’t know where to go from here but
Know one thing’s for sure
That this ain’t home
And I don’t belong here anymore

Oh it’s done, it’s done, it’s done

-

Oh it’s done, but now you’re killing all the kindness
Oh it’s done, you’re making sense of all the tears
Mind you make a list of all the things we could do better?
‘Cause I’m still
Sleeping with a candle now

And you’re watching me becoming what I don’t like
And you keep looking at the far end, the fine line
And now we’re watching our becoming smaller dots in time
Until it all slips out the door

(saxophone)

Oh it’s done, oh it’s done
Oh it’s done ah-ahh
Oh it’s done, oh it’s done
Oh it’s done ah-ahh

It's Done

Human (The Killers cover)

7 180° / A Priori

--
I don’t know what this is
But it's the closest thing to naked
And I'm already home
How many times, how many times have I
restarted?
Every beginning is the hardest
And my maps are torn

Can't put it down on one
But I know I'm getting somewhere
Can't put it down all on one
But I know I'm getting near

"'Cause when you know
You know you've done more wrong than right
You gotta give up some fights
And let the rain fall
And know it's not all your fault"

But sometimes I
Can't put it down all on one
Oh, there's poison in my heart
Can't put it down all on one
But it’s time for me to start

'Cause I don’t wanna be alone, anymore
Gotta hear a voice that ain’t my own
'Cause Mama dont know where I've been when
I ain’t home
'Cause I dont wanna be alone
I dont wanna be alone, anymore
Gotta hear a voice that aint my own
'Cause Mama dont know where I've been when
I ain’t home
'Cause in the end, we're all just skin and bone

No, this ain't my calling
Or a worn out plea
This is lonely nights
And the 180 degrees

Victoria sunset
Sea and hills in between
By the time that I get home, I still won’t know what you mean
It's raining down where
Where we don’t wanna go
And every ride back, I long again
But now I don’t know what for

Wish I could be in Banff my whole life
Try to hold on to this, our last night
And I can't stand to see you, I gotta get away
Wish I could spend my days...

Oh, time will change it all
But time won't change the truth
A space, a space pristine
And I hear this calling me

I'm calling it quits
When I hit your territor’
Sleeping in crypts
With all that's left in store
Haven't seen you in months
And I don’t miss you at all
But when our maps meet
Our hands will find their home

3 The Annex

I've seen too much to know what a trap looks like
And you walk in the room
Been in heights since before you knew
Now you're in full bloom

Don’t hide it, don’t lie
We'll make it past the time

And little by little, my heart is learning to hope less and less
(And one day it won't feel at all / We're cherubs in this perpetual morning)
In the most important part, you fly
Too late, my love
This is ossified

I feel like
A child again
Just tell me when I'll go
Get comfortable in getting lost
Tell me what's the cost

And won’t you wanna slow dance?
Cause I know I'd love to
And your brother comes calling
Says you’re nowhere to be found
But you're in your parents room
Maybe one day, I'll find you too

Can we go somewhere new?
Can we go somewhere new?
Can we go somewhere new?
Can we go somewhere new?

2 Last Things

--
Coming out tonight on your own
Telling me, these eyes, left and stoning
I've been hiding under the table, where you've run in
The pews have bleed when I'm in need
What is good in isolation?
Is it faith or just saturation?

You make you hard to find
You make you hard to
With all that's on your mind
And the fever that's gripped you
What was it all this time?
You make you hard to find

2 Last Things

1 Beehive / Open House 

--
Oh, I'm coming down

Sinking teeth in your hideout since we were four
I've been holding on since then

And all this sounds too familiar
There's history in the hills here
It follows you where you go
You look nice when you're thinking
But you don't get to doing
Breathe what you can in the meantime
All etched in space, I've been reading the signs

Variegate and grow away but not apart
Will it matter in the mornings?
Leave me in the south where I would feel at home
But slowly I'll feel nothing

Prayer: what is there after this?
I'll be coming down to your house, Lola
And I'll be growing

First Christmas | Scriva
--
Called out from the sea below,
your hands waking up
Sleeping out the whole night, stealing
Count all your orders out

Then we'll cull from the folly:
The past year

Found it on the 7th floor
Southbound, looking out
And all the while, you're calling up your mother
Telling when you'll be back

But then to pull over your promise--
You always do
But it'll make not the difference
To call and be lied to
Baby, don't cancel on me

'Cause there's wolves in the mountain, too steep for them to care
And I'm holed in your garden, the problems that weren't there
Now it's shaking up the timeline, you'd rather be alone
And I'll be aching for your body

You booked one out, now I'm on my own
But won't you tell me when you get home
I'm writing down our end-year wishes
I ain't sleeping through our first Christmas
You booked one out, now I'm on my own
But won't you tell me when you get home
I'm writing down our end-year wishes
I ain't sleeping through our first Christmas
You booked one out, now I'm on my own
But won't you tell me when you get home
I'm writing down our end-year wishes
I ain't sleeping through our first Christmas

'AFTER QUARANTINE' by Scriva

How’ve you been? Oh, I’m just fine
Making sense of lack of light
In this path of the park

Remember when you had a life?
And hid behind the 9 to 5
It’s still behind the door
When this whole thing blows over

Unsettled in this quarantine
Drinking stories from a screen
Martin says he’s alright

But I haven’t moved since ‘17
Fuck, it’s all a blur to me
But I wouldn’t change it
Or try

So tell me that I’m better now,
That nothing could ever let me down
Like before

And if this is the end, my friend
Could we agree to not pretend
Anymore?
When this whole thing blows over

When this whole thing blows over
When this whole thing blows over
