Now that I know what to say
That's when you walk away
What if all I need is you – in slow motion?
Why do we run? We should walk
Why do we scream? We should talk
What if all I need is you - in slow motion?
In slow motion
In slow motion
In slow motion

So just don’t go
Don’t leave me here
Alone with my racing thoughts
Yeah just don’t go
Don’t leave me here
Alone with my racing thoughts
Now I’m waiting for the avalanche
Of all the things I’d never try
I’d break the chain and take the chance
But I’m sure you know
I’m terrified
So just don’t go
Don’t leave me here
Alone with my racing thoughts
Yeah just don’t go
Don’t leave me here
Alone with my racing thoughts
Alone with my racing thoughts
Alone with my racing thoughts
Alone with my racing heart

You can take me and place me
You can take me and place me
In the soil of your garden
And bring me some water
Yeah you can bring me some water
And let me drink till I pass out
And I know you’ll be watching
Or constantly sharing
At all the roots that I place here
And while I am growing
And slowly maturing
I see your legs are getting restless
Don’t run from this
Don’t you run from this
Don’t you run from this life
That we’ve been rambling on about
It’s just a rocky phase
Just a lonely state
Just a seasonal itch
And oh I know that’s what’s tearing us apart
So you leave me unwatered
Yeah you leave me unwatered
And now the soil is on fire
My face in the ashes
Yeah my face is in the ashes
And now my rage has transpired
Don’t you run from this
Don’t you run from this
Don’t you run from this life
That we’ve been rambling on about
You need a little space
You need your secret place
But all I need is just time to rest
and time to shake it off
Cause I want you forever
I wanna stay here forever

It’s just another show about a serial killer
But it reminds me that I am still alive
I think I’m feeling better
that’s the lie that I tell her
Cause all in all, that’s easier tonight
Got all my information from a screaming clairvoyant
And she said the smell of pine
would make it worse
But the trees are like giants
they’ve been here forever
and I’m just traveling through
yeah I’m just traveling through
So I lay down on the carpet
in her douglas fir cabin
and she says my feet are really phantom roots
But where am I going
I feel like I’m falling
and she says I’m just traveling through
That I’m just traveling through
In between
what was and what is
I am drowning in thoughts
of what could have been
Things that I am
that can’t be erased
So I’ll clean all the corners
You know just in case

Not A Clone Anymore
04:21
|

Your 3 AM thoughts, the hurt and the hopes
And the buzzing sound of a thousand mistakes
It feels like my bones are breaking for you
And they grow back together in more familiar ways
Now I’m not a clone anymore
Now I’m not alone anymore
But then there are those
Who don’t want me to change
Controlled by the rules
That I’ve never believed in
But if you wanna stay safe, just follow the crowd
But is it the truth? Or do we know nothing?
I guess we’re all a little lost
And then we’re gone
Now I’m not a clone anymore
Now I’m not alone anymore
But then there are those
Who don’t want me to change

Foxhole

Spending these hours down in the foxhole
Listening to your footsteps above
You’re on the phone now
Speaking in tongues
And I’m on a quest for
Unwritten songs about love
The end of the world or the end of what once was
And we are just kids with fancy things
Heartaches and migraines from overthinking
From wanting it all when we need less
Give me your seconds
The edge of your eyes
I know that they’re calling your name
But I’ll be a dreamer until the day that I die
A shape shifting creature
Always out hunting for change
The end of the world or the end of what once was
And we are just kids with fancy things
Heartaches and migraines from overthinking
From wanting it all when we need less

Our thoughts in open air
One spontaneous thought at a time
And I like the way my words taste
When you’re around
Some way that words get in the way
Those who live for subtle clues
But maybe life’s too short for playing games
And nothing beats the truth
And there’s a space that’s in between
The things we say and the things we don’t
But I’m reading your face tonight
And I think I know - I think I know
That you’re hovering in and out of beginnings and endings
and things that are constantly changing
And you’re trying to make sense of a place you’ve never been before
and a million things to choose from, when all you need is just that one great thing
There’s a fire on my lips
There’s a fire on my lips
There’s a fire on my lips
There’s a fire on my lips

Last night I took the car
Out to that place we used to go to
Where the tourists always park
Before they go down to the ocean
Now it’s not a secret anymore
Now it’s not a secret anymore
Then I went down to the store
Five minutes before it was closing
And I was staring at the racks
With canned food and olives
Cause I’m the one who stays until the end
I’m the one who stays until the end
Then I called my oldest friend
Cause she always find solutions
Then we talked for seven hours
Until we came to the conclusion
That nothing is as easy as it looks
Nothing is as easy as it looks
Then I went back to my home town
And I was standing at your grave
Cause even if you’re gone
You’re still with me every day
And your ghost is always here to hold my hand
Your ghost is always here to hold my hand

I know you wonder
If it’s all too much to carry
I know you think about it all the time
But there’s no way to find all the dreams that you have buried
If you’re not ready to see the signs
Another turning point
Another night where you can run if you want
But I’ll be looking for shadow
I know it’s always here with me
And the days are getting shorter now
So maybe we should light a fire
They say the darkness is running free
So we can burn all the things that we don’t like
The things that keep us awake at night
I think I’ll burn my birth certificate
Cause I don’t care about my age anymore
And all insurance policies
And the things that we won't ever need
And the fear that we don’t wanna feed
And the bills that we won’t pay
So how are you feeling now
Is your head and heart still aching
I feel my chest is about to explore
But if this is a taste of freedom
Then that’s all I ever wanted
Then that’s all I need to know
Yeah we can burn all the things that we don’t like
The things that keep us awake at night
I think I’ll burn my birth certificate
Cause I don’t care about my age anymore
And all insurance policies
And the notes from 2017
And the fear that we don’t wanna feed
And the bills that we won’t pay
Can you feel it
The moon
And the smell of salt
And midsummer dew
Oh it softens the lines of your skin
So don’t wrinkle up your face again
Now there’s magic in the blue breeze
And in the old oak trees
And the grass is alive
On midsummer nights

In Your Fire
02:47
|
|||
|
Waiting for the truth to drown the noise
Like elevator music in my head
I can’t find the strength to cut the cord
Sit up straight and try to stay awake
Thinking I should wait until it’s over
But waiting would just kill us both I know
Thinking I should wait until it’s better
But in your fire I’m burning with shame
Yeah in your fire I’m dying again and again

There’s an off beat rhythm in the center of my chest
The pulse of your existence and the life I used to live
Meet me in the middle - yeah I know I can’t be tamed
Or you can push me away from you and then wonder where I went
I am sorry
I was never lost
What’s your story?
That I was in rut?
She could buy my soul now for a single compliment
The currencies of heartache - the cost of everything
And
I’m sorry
I was never lost
But what’s your story?
That I was in rut?
So you tell me you hope I will find peace
And I scream that I’ve never been more calm and connected
As if it’s a contest who’s insane and who isn’t
Sink your teeth into skin
If that’s how you win
While I’m filling my lungs for the rest of this song
Of the sound of long goodbyes

Cold Moon of December
04:14
|
|||
|
I was only sleeping for a minute
and the world had changed
Now I’m fighting back the urge to close my eyes
Cause it’s the final stretch of the year
and you know, all I need is time to rest
Nothing like the quiet of the night
The silence is poetic
Maybe we can watch the moon?
I did my best, I promise
And that’s all that I can do
All I need is time to rest
All I need is time
A blessing or a lesson - maybe both -
At least we’re still alive
And now the cold moon of december marks the change
Cause it’s the final stretch of the year
and you know, all I need is peace in the heart
So cheers to getting wiser in the end
The silence is poetic
Maybe we can watch the moon?
I did my best, I promise
And that’s all that I can do
All I need is time to rest
All I need is time
