Catalyst 02:59
This is how it has to be Necessity, ultimatum I was trying I swear I can’t stay hiding on stairs out of sight I’m just fine with the way things have been I don’t need a catalyst, I don’t need a catalyst I tear myself away The scenery always changes I read the world from your face Now things can’t be the same I’d tear myself away like I had puppet strings I’d tear myself away like the last day of spring This is how it has to end There's no reason to run Just accept the timing when it’s the only one I was fine I swear I’m just hiding on stairs out of sight Out of mind, walking to your house while you’re walking out of mine I tear myself away The scenery always changes I read the world from your face Now things can’t be the same I’d tear myself away like I had puppet strings I’d tear myself away like the last day of spring

All the excess falls away You didn’t need it anyway Everything except the days I’m afraid it stays that way It’d be easier with a difference you could see It makes it harder with no words left to say I’m off and away I incinerate I disintegrate There’s a will when there’s a way Isn’t that what they always say

Run to the salt water I've never been so full Take pictures to remember this by Fill my head with lies I’m gravitating towards the dark I thought it was light I’m tired of playing this part Like I’m typecast every night But I’m fighting for you Or at least some version of truth I thought I’d find it on the shore I thought I’d drive till there’s more I found your note Handwritten on composition paper Like I had a choice Like I gave you a voice But I’m fighting for you Or at least some version of truth I thought I’d find it on the shore I thought I’d drive till there’s more

Mysterious 04:01
It’s hard to see outside When you’re surrounded by Nothingness It’s hard to look away when these hallways begin and end with locked doors It’s all another day I want to walk away when I realize that these fault lines aren’t whats stopping me I’ll take the easy way out It’s hard to see outside Through all this rain I let it wash away Still it feels the same Let it wash away to the river now Let it go Watch it leave Mourn the loss if you have to It’s hard to see outside Through all this rain I let it wash away Still it feels the same

We just drank each other’s blood Our crimson communion of love Even if the sky opens up and swallows us We’ll hold each other tight while we ascend a beam of light We both pretend we’re back at home Yeah let’s just pretend we’re still alone No one believes us Let’s keep this a memory No one believes us Let’s save the ridicule Back at work, they’ll never listen They’ll never look at you the same It’s up to you And it’s up to me To leave this a memory No one believes us Let’s keep this a memory No one believes us Let’s save the ridicule

Tandem Bikes 03:48
This is just too on the nose Fire, hail, and flooding storms I’ve never really loved life more This is no place to long for I’m still trying like it counts But there’s still rain when I'm around Every second has its place Second chances don’t erase Are we already here? It felt soon but not that close We stayed so long for fear Like we could never leave for hope Let’s reevaluate I’m sure there’s something we can do It’s not like me to enjoy hate But with your facade falling through the cracks from the lies that you told We walk on nails and sleep on stone You promise bread but give us mold We gave you life but die alone Are we already here? It felt soon but not that close We stayed so long for fear Like we could never leave for hope

Rowan Trees 03:45
The frost on the car The dying sun I always know the cold will come A falling star Close enough Scaring life back to everyone Don’t waste these days Sunlight You’re like a vampire Don’t scare my friends away Don’t tear down the mirrors in my place I watched you eat wolf-killed sheep You were born with all your teeth I’m cutting branches of Rowan trees Don’t waste these days Sunlight You’re like a vampire Don’t scare my friends away Don’t tear down the mirrors in my place
8.
Wish Away 04:18
I wish myself away I boarded the last evening train I know what people will say And maybe I’m just the same 24 hours isn’t nearly enough time to change I was a wreck, I was on the edge of everything I went down to see Where this hope could be I pushed the sea salt from my mind I went out chasing time 24 hours isn’t nearly enough time to change I was a wreck, I was on the edge of everything
9.
This isn’t fun anymore The ocean eats the shore The wrong star could fall before the sun swallows us whole I hope it doesn’t start again I’m sick of being on the fence Wishing I could just step in I know I would fall away I know I’d just pretend All rise… We’re never changing course You can’t bring back the shore The tide and the moon’s force 10 thousand 10 million I’m worn from all this reeling My dreams must get stopped on the way out by the ceiling The storms are coming soon The spaceship leaves at noon The walls are falling too The world just broke in two The sun breaks up the moon
10.
Vast and setting sun above After all these clouds are gone We’re gonna climb so high We don’t ever have to say goodbye Eventually the night will come Looming cratered moon above Don’t look down you’ll be alright Don’t wait for more than tonight Passing by stars in the sky Your backyard far out of sight Don’t look down we’ll be alright Don’t wait for more than tonight The galaxy’s not big enough Look for signs like mourning doves Oxygen is obsolete Swimming in Titan’s sea This new gravity And new eyes to see Universe around me
