Faceless Somebody
Fair is fair
Pull the blue thread and watch me unravel
I was knit with care
And I'll be pulled apart raw
We fished stars out of the black sea
Melted them in our mouths and carried gravity on our tongues
Heavy words to carry said verse
My feet are lethargic tied up with slow fabric
I bought with the last coin that I had
Pure intentions course through veins twenty years used
Still worth their weight in gold
They'll be sold to the highest bidder
Whether they stay or splinter
White is white
Break the wood holding up this world
Built for One lonely
Who said holy couldn't want
We want colors our eyes can't see
Twist them in our heads and throw them dripping on our beds
A beautiful mess we can't undress
For my eyes to tremble so well
What a way
What a sage
I'll blend in with the rest
Invisibility at it's best

Without the Nicotine
I was never the best at feeling things out
You heard whispers in the raindrops
I talk like men who hung on seasons
You knew exactly what I was not
A boy who lived things to the letter
And never read them wrong
Thanks to years of wasting my time
The wind tastes like maple this time of year
Everybody smokes unseen cigarettes with less worry
We're all wrapped up in avarice and cotton
I'm waiting for God's taxi to come and take me
Anywhere for 1.25 a mile
I can't sleep until you slip
You sigh everytime I sing
I pretend like I like your friends
You knew that I was lying
Spitting out what you wanted to hear
Because your heart was fragile
Whether you told me so or not
God help me I don't know what to make of this
God shake me I can't begin to wake up
My tongue is numb and I'm dying to speak
I feel I've got something important to say

Squinting Does Wonders
If I were dying I'd tell you the truth
My tongue wouldn't be tied to my bed post
My inflection would mirror my eyes
And you'd be speechless, you'd be sleepless
I feel helpless
Distress does not a body clothe
And I'm cold
Fast forward a year
And your body has turned me into a monster
This skin is too tight
Like a bad neck tie
I am sore and weary
And your memory has turned me to my father
This shadow is too loose
Like homeless shoes, falling off my feet
If I were lying I'd be of no use
Like a piano with no strings, I'd be quiet
My muscles would tighten in my skin
I pray you'll be relentless, that you'd be forgiveness
I see children
Blindness can be two sides of this coin
Such loud noise
And we doubt ourselves
See fault in ourselves
We sleep in our cells
Collect dust on our shelves
I can see something through the dust and it's beautiful, yeah, it's beautiful

Is it Empy Streets or Empy Me?
Winter is coming fast and it's the way we like it
And the scenery blurs
The scenery blurs outside
Our windows thick with fog
Hot breath against the window makes a cloud on the glass
You're crazy if you even have to ask
I've got a dream I wish I could put on repeat
It's got my tongue so numb and my thoughts in knots
I'm not sure what to do with you still I'll try to speak
As soft as you'd like me to
Simple things always last longer than we want
And my ambition stirs
My ambition stirs my insides
It's a hot mess with a cold sweat
Bread hearts eaten from our chests by those we loved
I know you want to ask "how come?"
You won't see me coming
No you won't see me

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
