John Collin 04:54
You wear your vices like a crown You’re far too proud to change your ways Who are you to decide when I should break? You tear at skin and lie at night Awake against the coldest floor Darling, don’t apologize I’ve heard this all before She said, “hold on tight, We’re so far from home.” You’re fast asleep. Just write this off To this broken clock and empty room I’ve kept all your letters Drained clean of any trace of who you once were So don’t ask why I’m silent When his arms are wrapped around you We’re always on the wrong side of time Avoid all of your fears, run and hide We’re always on the wrong side of time Convince me that you’re all right, run away

Twin Ghosts 04:03
I’m scared of almost everything I’m scared you know all of my fears Tell me what it’s like dying alone In a hospital bed and my hand in yours We’ve set this fire to guide you back I never thought my lungs could turn this black So we’ll cough up tears and sleep on stone Though the fire’s died out, we’re not alone Please take me back when it was easier I’m losing track of every memory inside If you feel like staying here a while I’ll leave the porch light on And leave the door unlocked I know you’ve been gone a couple weeks But I heard you’re coming back for Halloween So I’ll cut some sheets, let’s go as a ghost Just so you’ll feel more at home Please take me back when it was easier I’m losing track of every memory inside If you feel like staying here a while Come sleep in my bed Amadeus, please come back

Sugar Cubes 04:57
I’ve retraced steps and they led me to where we first met You taste like pine and move just like a river Where your leaves have all turned red You feel like hollowed out memories I’ve tried to burn before You said, “no one else could love you like I do right now. I’m giving up.” I’m finding out that happiness is not what I’d expected And loneliness is more than a mistake Maybe it’s okay if I am both of them at once I’ve learned a lot but I don’t understand How hearts can hold such sorrow and joy all at once I’ll never understand the balance or the cure But I’m listening close to the words of my mother now There are oceans with no bottom that we all drown in Foaming with memories The ships we claim to have mastered have no captain And lay shattered on the beach Your teeth are sugar cubes ever dissolving In this endless sea of caffeine conversation That leaves us stranded And wondering if it’s really true That joy is just a word that we have painted To compliment our fragile fate On concrete monuments that only poor men seek I’ve learned a lot or not enough to know When life has knocked me down To dig trenches in the dirt And I’ll fight like hell to free myself From shackles of my fear Or learn to love them But hate who I’ve become

Galveston 05:04
We woke up at the sea With truth in our mouths With salt in our teeth and in our nose We sang to the sun “Talk to the waves How they are beautiful and then gone” We tasted the sky We are bone and breeze and undertow Eclipsed by the light, my guilt is gone Cast from the shore With hope we spoke the dark down from the sky With love we peeled the fear from both our eyes Through the space between the stars, we still smile We’ve found ourselves breaking on the shore And all these sad songs we’ll sing no more. And this golden dawn we sink into is brilliant. We are beautiful

I awoke on a bed made of mountains You spoke like the world could curl around you You said you wanted to be the water Flowing through his fingertips and not to bother Because all the streams had been blocked in But you know, you’re worth so much more Don’t you know you’re worth fighting for? Well you know, you’re worth so much more. Don’t you know you’re worth fighting for? I awoke driving through the morning I saw you glowing gold beneath the sky I’ll rip the eyelids off the sun And beg for you to come undone And see the hilltops, how they all burn out loud When these promises turn cold We’ll set fire to our bones We will all burn gold I will wipe away these clouds Our feet will never touch the ground We will all burn out loud
