Drowning

It starts out so good
Then deforms into a jelly
Some never lose control
Me I walked around in the earthquake with you
Scratching at glass
The dust clinging onto the dash
Underwater watching time float past
Scratching at that
Some take a part for a whole
Most just never get around to it all
You know I mean me too
I leave things out on purpose for you
We’re scratching at glass
The dust just clinging onto the dash
Under water under safety glass
And scratching at that
Why’s it always end so bad
And have to turn into a story
Of what you used to have
And each fading memory’s glory?

Wondering what comes next
How to find what’s missing
Beneath the trench smoke
The open doors of empty buildings
Like every question I ask
You answer too perfectly
You think if you’re not lying to yourself
You can’t be lying to me
How carefully we salvaged the works of art
Our ghosts are gone
If life’s a dream
I play the part of its shadow
It’s hidden under mountains
Buried beneath universities
Below the lowland beneath the sea
And outside the stars are glowing
The trees above the earth
Inside the dust is glooming
And time is interred
How carefully we salvaged the works of art
Our ghosts are gone
If life’s a dream
I play the part of its shadow

You know someone so well
You can’t tell
Why some plants grow
Why some lights go out
You can’t know
Breaking through my window
Climbing up my window
Just to get an old piano
That you never played for me
That you never played
I’m looking around
I don’t see anyone
Don’t see myself
Hope I don’t see you
Breaking through my window
Climbing up my window
Just to get an old piano
That you never played for me
That you never played
You were climbing up my IV
Just to gain some altitude
Breaking through my window
Climbing up my window
Just to get an old piano
That you never played for me
That you never played

Deserter
04:40

You tarnished the street
Where you spread it out beneath your feet
On your way out left no signs that tell
Where you've been hiding out
Still stuck in between
Who you’ve been and what you’ve seen
Tell me why I should stay here with you
When I could be out there wasting my time
You forgive your friends
Forget everything you've been leaning against
Just let it leave out into thin air
I understand cause I’m a deserter too
Who just needs to disappear from you
Tell me why I should stay here with you
When I could be out there wasting my time

Indivisibility
04:53
|

I don’t mind looking lost
Don’t care when my dreams get crossed
In the night or in the day
Don’t go away
Yet I think I can find
The color you hide behind
Those walls that you call
Into surround you
They say what goes up must come down
But you won’t find me waiting around to find out
Or hiding underground

Sink like a stone
In the riverbed
You sound like a drum
Droning out ahead
Into nowhere’s will
When can it cease?
When will it spill around you?
You sink like a stone
Into the riverbed below
You sink like a stone
Into the river
This dynasty you left for me
Just crumbles out into a crowded sea
Lost mystery of light
Dark dreams unwritten or unsaid to you
Dust on the throne
And the bleached-out bones of your long-forgotten youth
You sink like a stone
Into the riverbed below
You sink like a stone
Into the river
