Lie

Hollow sound
Proper noun
Exciting fear of unknown
Dividing man from her own
It's dumb to lie
Hollow shape
Coiled snake
Protecting what is not mine
Tempting taste of divine
It's dumb to lie
I need to know why
I need to know why
Will I ever know why
I don't need to know why
Hollow space
Painted face
Allowed you to feel free
Around you I felt seen
It's dumb to lie

Asleep
03:58
|
|||
|
Walking home
Early in the morning
Stayed out all night
Just talking
Breaking up
Is easier on paper
Waking up
Not always in your favor
So I'll just stay asleep
Go to work
Distract yourself from crying :(
See a friend
Don't let her know you're lying
Growing up
Is easier on paper
Shut it down
Just deal with this all later :)
So I'll just stay asleep

Code

|
Peace of your mind
In a soup
Available for so long
The truth!
I've been behind
And I've been below
Seems like sometimes
There's nowhere to go
A code to crack
A line
Eating up those
Freeway signs
Appearing to be
A subway track
A code to crack
A line

Running

I was thinking the other day that it would be nice to have a friend that I could call up on the phone, that I could call my very own. We could talk about stupid shit and make fun of the president. We could stay up all night long and we could try to learn your favorite song. Maybe one day we could start a band and maybe one day actually have some plans. But we can make it up as we go. The only thing I know is we don't need to know.
I'll be running with you
Next day, it gets hard. I don't feel like doing my part. You would rather be out on your own, and I would rather stare at my phone. So we start to drift in separate ways, and I cannot recall those sunny days when we would laugh, sing, and talk all night. Long as we had each other, we'd be alright.
When I was running with you

Martyr

Holy, holy martyr
Crescent of the moon
Divine my true desire
And bring it back to you
Holy, holy martyr
Please mop up my wounds
Lead me to still water
Praise the rain that ruins
You alone are in control, I know
Rain and wind and sleet and snow, I know
Holy, holy martyr

Afterlife
03:11
|

|
I know a place we can go
I know a place we can both go
I wanna know
Will you go
I wanna know where we both go
Afterlife
Where do you start and end
Afterlife
Can I come on in
I need to know where you're coming from
I need to know if you're born again
Have you played with sin
Do you pray to him
Afterlife
Are you standing there
Afterlife
Do I even care
I know a place we can go

Harry

Hostile no more
It's just Harry from now on
Hand in hand
Is that so hard
Shade means respite from the sun
I know my holy God
I know she's got a hold on me
Passenger, my time is yours
Your hand contains her map
Will you return, oh come on
It would change who I am and prevent any further harm
I know my holy God
I know she's got a hold on me
Round and around and around, we go round

Love Song
03:39
|

Can I write you one more love song while you go to sleep?
I've seen you smiling in photographs close enough to reach.
Am I scared to see you laughing?
Why can't you be free?
Am I scared to see me laughing?
Does that make me weak?
Can I write you one more letter saying what I knew?
That night we jumped in the ocean, I knew we were _____
Can the God of the Whole Universe
Creator of You and Me
Intervene and remedy
All that we will bleed?
I've walked through this city plenty, hoping that I'll see why I left behind my family, why you watched me leave.
Was I just being too selfish, chasing some dumb dream?
Were we ever going to make it, did you still believe?
When you look into the mirror, what is it you see?
I hope the God of the Universe turns and gives You peace.

Unobfuscable
02:16
|
|||
|
Awake and outside
Easing into the sunrise
Your shivering hand locked in mine
You are the image of the Divine
I love you, I'll be true
Able to digest the indigestible
Able to obfuscate the unobfuscable
I love you, I'll be true
