Giant 01:55
lyrics
Come out Come out and see the rain Come out Come out and see the rain Come out Come out Come out and see the rain Come out Come out and see the rain And see the rain And see the rain And see the rain And see Come break these bones Is that what you want Here’s my applause Here you stay made of stone Come out Come out and see the rain Come out Come out and see the rain Come out and see the rain And see the rain And see Come break these bones Is that what you want Here’s my applause Here you stay made of stone That’s how you’ll remain You and I dissolve, this is not a lie You are not alone, You are not a lie You are not alone, can you hear me I’m out here, I call you So come out and see the rain Come out and see Come out and see the rain Come out and see

No Wrongs 03:32
lyrics
Turn in Slow down Disguise wearing thin Pale white disarmed You’re hallowing Turn in Slow down Your eyes turn you in All faults dissolve in the sprawl But you won’t play the part You’re run down, a let down, a fool Turn in Slow down These lines we breathe in Grey out and stall Because you’re hallowing Turn in Slow down It lies in your name It’s the ruse that tempts us all Let them know from the start You’re run down, a let down No you won’t play the part You will burn out All that’s left now You’re a fool You’ve set it aflame Our love You be shamed this haze infected all we made Set it aflame Our love All of the knots you tied To end it all in vein All in vein

Basement Party 04:07
lyrics
You lied to me Said we would walk this world endlessly You lied to me Told me we’d both grow old by the sea By the sea You, you say goodbye, and I disappear I feign to know why, I’m standing here They comfort me Tell me have faith in what I don’t see Do you hear my plea? Do you have not a moment to spare for me? For me? You, you say goodbye, and I disappear I feign to know why, I’m standing here We wrote on the walls, carved our names, so that we’d not forget We owned every hall, fading names, are all we have left

Sleepers 05:29
lyrics
There’s a hell That you know There’s a why Keeps you close In denial I’ve watched this grow Turn the tide Teem with hope Help me I’m falling over Help I’m feeling underwhelmed In the red morning skies For the children we hold You tell me I falsely wonder You tell me I jumped I thought I fell Where the seasons collide For the names we bestow All this time I’ve watched you cope Turn the tide Teem with hope Help me I’m falling over Help I’m feeling underwhelmed In the red morning skies For the children we hold You tell me I falsely wonder You tell me I jumped I thought I fell Where the seasons collide For the names we bestow Oh the red morning sky For the children Rid the darkness inside For the names we bestow Can you help me I’m falling over Help I’m feeling underwhelmed In the red morning skies For the children we hold You tell me I falsely wonder You tell me I jumped I thought I fell Where the seasons collide For the names we bestow All the hours Watched you cope In denial Teem with hope

A Song About Ghosts 04:30
lyrics
In you I resonate It’s you I resonate Trestles etched in age Where we imprint our names I see you as a ghost, you lead me down the stairs, against the wall I see you as a tower, between your walls I lay down, lay down, I, lay down, lay down, lay down, why A million stars across, though you’re only miles away, miles away overhead With you I’m not awake Fabric stitched in slate Twine our every state and phase Where your imprint remains I see where you belong, I see you in your false home, both untied I see you there alone, bound to no one, no more, no more lies, no war no more lies I see you at your door, I see you when you’re miles away You’re miles away overhead I see where you belong I see where you belong I see where you belong tonight

We Live in Glass Houses 03:23
lyrics
In a city that veils Enclaved walls so arranged “Hell’s a state,” so she claims But you’ve got time on your way You’ve got time on your way Heaven in gold, distorted words on display Sacred panes, blow them out You’ve got time on your way But you’ve got time on your way On your way On your way For all you’ve held, held on For all you’ve held, held on For all you’ve held, held on For all you’ve held onto Give it all away

Head Underwater 03:29
lyrics
I feel it in the morning A moment worth recalling There’s a way out in water There’s a way out in water And I see it in the ocean Attest it’s healing motion Where we fade in from nothing We won’t fade out to nothing Now I know why I try to hold my breath Cast your eyes on the water From your quiet cage In the wake we could wonder Like a tidal wave In the white out, I am stalling Drowning all befallen Now the riptide reveals me I surrender to its plea And I see it in reflections See it cask all my dejection They’re away out in water They’re away out in water Now I know why we try to hold our breath Cast your eyes on the water From your quiet cage In the wake we could wonder Like a tidal wave Cast your eyes on the water From your quiet cage In the wake we could wonder We could wander Cast your eyes on the water From your quiet cage In the wake we could wonder Like a tidal wave

Tremblings 03:55
lyrics
A burning guise A turn in your inflections A fractured smile on your face Perceived light A trembling voice says “It’s just your eyes that have been erased” There’s a break in the lines inside that color this kaleid Can’t see the writing on the wall, you’re rare design Behind your eyes There’s a wild wind turning On your isle, there’s a stave You’ll remember the way See it all in frames There’s a break in the lines inside that color this kaleid This the rise and fall the light that you’re denied Listen for the sound The word you’re chasing now This is the writing on the wall And there is no one, no one in view No one, no one sees you You’ll remember the way You’ll remember the way You’ll remember the way It’s just your eyes On your isle This kaleid A fractured smile A break in the lines You’re rare design A wild wind A burning guise A break in the lines

The New Yorker 04:27
lyrics
Anywhere you go, there’s a haze You’ve been sliding this slope, there’s a thread in grey As your skies seem to dim, and you’re cooled in shade, cooled in shade Our loves been spun Sewn inside for us to chase With shutters drawn Those who hide lie awake November’s hum Silver cars in blackened gates Our loves been spun You’ve been tied to rope, You’ve been pulled by reigns Anywhere you go, you will feel the same, we’re all insane Our loves been spun Sewn inside for us to chase With shutters drawn Those who hide lie awake November’s hum Silver cars in blackened gates Our loves been spun In this coarse repose, I’m on my way, I’m on my way Still running, though, I’m not the same, I’m not the same Still steeping oaths, I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid Still holding on, I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid Our loves been spun Sewn inside for us to chase With shutters drawn Those who hide lie awake November’s hum Silver cars in blackened gates Our loves been spun

Iron Born 04:51
lyrics
All you are lies within All you are lies within All you are lies with me All you are lies ahead All the lives that will be In your honor In your honor I will become all you see Outlined by dawn Sing our old song And where I go you will be All you are lies within All you are lies ahead All you are, All you see All you’ll be In your honor In your honor I will become all you see Outlined by dawn Sing our old song And where I go you will be You will be In your honor In your honor I will become all you see Outlined by dawn Sing our old song And where you go I will be In your heart, in your head
