Hiding Places
Come here with me
A blacktop where we grew up
Ivory towers where we knew love
You knew these kinds of things were cliche
Two more seconds and you'll fall in
I've got this thing for you
Where do we go from here?
My choice would be out of our minds
It's the one place no one
Can pull a curtain over our day
Sunshine always
Stay high and see
This city our hearts won't forget
Autumn trees that turn blood red
It's alright to think of somewhere else
We're coming back here I swear
I've got this thing for you
Where do we go from here?
I think we should just stay right here
In the one place no one
Will ever, ever find us
Starlight hides us
Two more seconds and you'll fall in
We're coming back here I swear
God only knows us before we sleep

Between Dusk and Dawn
My chest is cold
I'll relay the truth and it may shock you
It may have you strung up by your feet
God knows I've had enough
Coughing fits
Terrible trips
This isn't a cross it's a chain
Wrapping itself around again, and again
Our lives are caught between dusk and dawn
The occasional midnight beat
Don't toy with me, say hope to me
I've got a nagging fever and it won't quit
Where's the spirit now?
My skin is awake
Who's got the cure?
There really is a cancer to the soul
Doctor, doctor I've got faith in you
Pull the covers over
Like I'm asleep
Killed the bad things
Push all the pillars down, a loud noise
Always a sacrifice we love to avoid
Pull my skin back
Take out the black
Let the good things in
Let the good things in

Fast, Slow, We're Aglow
Take a carriage ride out of this God-forsaken town
Try and find a place to pray, a secret place to play
Your heart out of everything that we'd call sanity
Who decided what was sane anyway?
I never agreed on it
There was so much more to consider
All the beauty and the bitter sides of risk
Hallelujahs never felt foreign on my tongue
The sea salt clouds swallow my thin frame
It's like they know just how to stay inside my head always
Tricky little devils and their games
I never learned to play
The only rule is there are no rules
A binding freedom none of us can explain
Oh, I forgot to say just how you change my posture
They say, "It seems like you've lost your height, can you see my sea from here?"
I can read you like your skin was braille
The more nervous you get the more I'll hold you
Everyone's afraid to touch but I think we should more often
Call me sentimental if you want
Lame legs still need love
It's so selfish to keep it to ourselves
We'll suck the sweetness right out of your lungs
Spin on wounded feet
In the middle of the night
I'm excited to see you alive
For a change of pace let's lie and sleep face to face
As beautiful as your back is -
Honeywood Floorboards
It takes a little foresight to walk in the dark, doesn't it?
The ground always grabs for your feet
Like it's the last chance for happiness she'll ever have
You didn't know that
You couldn't come back
We'll drink in the smoke to sleep with blurry eyes
You will know them by their speech
Scary sounds break at the thought of something real
A scholar can't read me
Your head can't conceive things
Stacks of souls sing who we are
I'm sick and tired of staying awake until 2 a.m.
My body wants to sleep
But my head wants to creep into the places I need to go
Sweep out the corners I forgot held me once
I am not afraid until I see the demon
I am not afraid until reality seeps in
God, this is such a thrill

Godspeak
If the world ends I'm on the edge
I can feel this moving inside me
What would you say to the men we forgot?
Could words make a difference now?
If friction causes sound
Then my life is a symphony
Our kiss is a violin
And if we speak too loud
We'll bring our voices back down
Whisper what we scream
I want a house to call my home
Bricks and steel to conceal my mistakes
Some may say abandon is crazy
So mark me as a man without a mind
I'll live with greater abandon
Than those before me
Those who bore me
Who will follow me?
We'll scatter across the globe to find our way home
