Standing in the streetlight in this world
And I don’t wanna go anywhere
I think I said too much
You should cut me off, you should drive me home
I won’t speak, just how I like.
I won’t do anything right
I won’t even try
Cause when you run, I run too
And when I’m home, I’ll press my fingers to the stove
And I drink till I don’t feel cold
You should’ve left me in the road
You should’ve left me in the snow

Running Without A Head
02:20
|
|||
Lining up for low wages
Signing up for a life like this
I just dreamed the whole thing by
I got lost beneath the sky
Running around without a head
keep repeating the line I read
I digest every word I’m fed
But you won’t
so hung up on everything
I couldn’t tell you what it means
Caught off guard by anything
I rehearsed a change of scene
Where did the last ten years go?
Some part of me knows
But I like to keep some doors closed
I like to walk, eyes blindfolded
I like to read your mind as prose
I hate to walk the path I chose
But you don’t
so hung up on everything
I couldn’t tell you what it means
Caught off guard by anything
I rehearsed a change of scene

A Word I'm Waiting For
03:17

The ice reminds me
Of different sides
And when it’s all gone
I realize
All you lost in a deep freeze
Still comes to life
And all you thought you left behind
Is still shining bright
Every word from me
Seems to be foam in the sea
When any word from you
Is poetry
There’s a line I’m saving for
There’s a word I’m waiting for
I never knew things could be so pure
There’s a world I’m saving for you

This Topia

It’s the perfect occasion
Dystopia
For a celebration
Dystopia
You’re in a different location
Dystopia
Were on the same low wave length
For so many years we’ve known
How much time spent all alone
I want to run away
I want to hide away from this
I don’t wanna waste your time
I don’t wanna waste your time tonight

The lights on, can you feel it changing?
I rearranged everything worth saving
I really thought I’d be alone tonight, it’s alright, I don’t hear you anyway
It’s just something I’ve had enough of
If you turn I’d be ashamed to
Say that I ever even loved
Is it too late to throw this all away?
Is this something you really feel?
Maybe I’m just too fucked up to see lately
I think I let the wrong molds shape me
If it’s too late then don’t even save me
Follow me
Don’t follow me
It won’t let me go
I can’t let it go
Is this something you really feel?
Maybe I’m just too fucked up to see lately
I think I let the wrong molds shape me
If it’s too late then don’t even save me

The words don’t come like they used to
Sometimes I’ve said it all
The truth wont burn like it used to
When you’ve said it all
I’m walking backwards
And you’ve said this before
I wish that you were lying
I wish I wasn’t sure
If I wasn’t so vulnerable
I’d wish that you knew more
A lifetime's not enough
A world in many frames
If I could save one for you
I’d still look at you the same
I wish that you were lying
I wish I wasn’t sure
If I wasn’t so vulnerable
I’d wish that you knew more

I can’t look back fondly now
If it’s any consolation, I miss more than consolation
But you really won’t believe
I really didn’t see
I miss the mornings
How we used to dream in clouds
Forgotten summers now
A snow globe under shrouds
Sight to see
Light I need
Opening fields of green

Waiting at the water and I turn to see your face
Wading in the water you open your eyes and slip away
It’s not that I don’t want to stay
It’s just that I’m not really here
It’s not that you’ll be ok
But that we all just disappear
The right tone to set it off
Fast track to sedative
With a little luck I’ll pull it off
With a twist of fate we’ll all be lost
It’s the right night for setting in
Don’t let them knock they won’t come in
With a twist of fate you’ll pull this off
With a little luck we’ll all get lost
Wandering the night roads with a light to guide my way
I just won the lottery, I’m ready for the rain
I want to leave this all behind and feel the same again
I want to try this over just do it at all again
The right tone to set it off
Fast track to sedative
With a little luck I’ll pull it off
With a twist of fate we’ll all be lost
It’s the right night for setting in
Don’t let them knock they won’t come in
With a twist of fate you’ll pull this off
With a little luck we’ll all get lost

The Line It Takes
03:46
|

It won’t stop spinning
Not for a minute
The lies erase a thousand days away from me
I can’t help but feeling
The summers freezing out
These lies are fleeting now
They’ve gone with you
The water waits
For nightfall
It’s all wrong
It’s all for naught
The line it takes
From B to A
From gone to rain
From heart to brain
The water waits
The line it takes
For nightfall
From heart to brain
All the distance and time in the world and I’d still wait for just a minute with you
I touched your hand and that was it
You sat by me and I froze up like an animal caught in the street like you were supposed to know what I mean and yesterday when I said goodbye i wish I never had to sometimes I wish I never met you just so I’d never have to lose you when you’re not mine to lose and all the salt in the sea turned to gold wouldn’t be enough from me to you but an honest glance would be more from you to me like some shimmering moment from a movie
The water waits
For nightfall
It’s all wrong
It’s all for naught
The line it takes
From B to A
From gone to rain
From heart to brain
The water waits
The line it takes
For nightfall
From heart to brain

Rain For The Ready
03:34
|
|||
I can’t help but hear the floors creak
I don’t want to listen when the past speaks to me
I’m not really sure what the sounds mean
It doesn’t make it better when your voice leaves
3am
Wide awake, for what?
There’s no end
Just another line to cut
I see them all waiting there for me
But I can’t wake up
It’s rain for the ready
Rain for the ready
Rain for the ready
Cold dark and heavy
Rain for the ready
3am
Wide awake, for what?
There’s no end
Just another line to cut
I see them all waiting there for me
But I can’t wake up
It’s rain for the ready
