if I found you
half way through
would you carry me
all the way to you

where to find you
torn at and accused
I wish to awake
back in my youth

I should've listened to you

I should've listened to you
I should've known you

This Longing
03:07
|

|
on the road I use to walk home
I use to walk home
I use to walk home
if the tides don't carry me, I've got no where to go
if the waves don't pull me in, I'd peacefully float
if I let you go, will this longing leave me too?
if I set you free, will this longing leave me be?
on the road I use to walk home
I use to walk home
I use to walk home
you've got me so in love but you're gone
terrified of if I never get to see you
I'd be crying over everything I've done
if I don't ever get to see you, might as well be blind
might as well be blind
on the road I use to walk home
I use to walk home
I use to walk home
drown me if you think I'd be okay
I couldn't have saved us anyway
so I let you go, hoping this longing would leave me too
and then I set you free, hoping this longing would leave me be

Ending Things
02:55

to put in words, I am afraid
so I whisper these secrets when I'm sure
I am alone in bed
I put in words
so you won't catch
me hiding the truth
bury the usual and ugly proof
that I
sit here in the darkness, show him where my heart is
we're holding hands like
we never think of ending things
I think of ending things some times but i
sit here in the silence, sobering my thoughts for you
we're holding on like
we don't have any more to lose
but I feel so lonely with you
to put in words, I am afraid
we fall asleep like strangers caught in storm underneath the same old shed
I save my words
so you might catch
me hiding the truth
bury the usual and ugly proof
that I
sit here in the darkness, show him where my heart is
we're holding hands like
we never think of ending things
I think of ending things some times but i
sit here in the silence, sobering my thoughts for you
we're holding on like
we don't have any more to lose
but I feel so lonely with you
(And I hope you cried, when we said goodbye)
sit here in the darkness, show him where my heart is
we're holding hands like
we never think of ending things
I think of ending things some times (And I hope you cried, when we said goodbye )
sit here in the silence, sobering my thoughts for you
we're holding on like
we don't have any more to lose
but I feel so lonely with you

Fortress
03:24

|
these are hollow bones
I'm not built from stone
is there love? I wish to
is there love? I wish to
I wish to climb down into you
(never thought that I could ever forgive you)
we are of loam
but when we're done
(if you pull down your fortress, I will abandon my bastion)
dissolve into animals
(cause I rather give in before I buckle under pressure)
you were my home
when it's all said and done
(but I never thought that I could ever forgive you)
dissolve into particles
please pick up the phone
let's close this terrible distance
is there love? I wish to
is there love? I wish to
I wish to climb down into you
(never thought that I could ever forgive you)
we are of loam
but when we're done
(if you pull down your fortress, I will abandon my bastion)
dissolve into animals
(cause I rather give in before I buckle under pressure)
you were my home
when it's all said and done
(but I never thought that I could ever forgive you)
dissolve into particles
mine are hollow bones
you are terraform
is there love? I wish to
is there love? I wish to
I wish to climb down into you

No Sound

“Someday I’ll write a song without
Death, grief, god, or you”
In my heart grows
All your troubles
But I found a way out
Still I call your name out loud
But there is no sound
In this silence
I grow restless
Though I found a way out
Still I call your name out loud
You make no sound
Violent in the way you chose to love
But In the emptiness I seem to wish a war
If out there is a god, these days I wonder if he’s near
Are my shoulders a good place for god to perch?
Are my shoulders a good place for god to perch?
But there’s no sign of you
I have learnt
From drowning that oxygen
Enters my body in painful ways
I call you by your old name
But you make no waves
Violent in the way you chose to love
But In the emptiness I seem to wish a war
If out there is a god, these days I wonder if he’s near
Are my shoulders a good place for god to perch?
Are my shoulders a good place for god to perch?
But there’s no sign of you
Though I found a way out
Still I call your name out loud
You make no sound

gravity pull me down
or at least it tries to now
and I ever since I met you
been drowning in your typhoon
head's been spinning out
my lungs are caving now
and ever since I met you
been drowning in your typhoon
maybe baby I just love you more
maybe I just need to be adored too
tell me if you adore me too
is it really that hard for you?
is it really that hard for you, Johnny?
hurricane swept it all
I brace myself to fall
from the moment that I met you
been drowning in you typhoon
I don't know how to tell you
been drowning in your typhoon
I know you do not mean to
been drowning in your typhoon
maybe baby I just love you more
maybe I just need to be adored too
tell me if you adore me too
is it really that hard for you?
is it really that hard for you, Johnny?
just tell me that you love me
that you love me too
cause baby I've been
drowning, drowning, drowning in your typhoon
I don't know how to tell you
(drowning, drowning, drowning in your typhoon)
been drowning in your typhoon
I know you do not mean to
(drowning, drowning, drowning in your typhoon)
been drowning in your typhoon
And ever since I met you
(drowning, drowning, drowning in your typhoon)
been drowning in your typhoon

Terra
02:41

|
I am of loam
my tired, deciduous bones
they bring me joy in my eyes
where I rest them till the end of my time
on any gargantuan mountains
I can climb
dark, dark, darker skies
tend wild flowers, brew violent tides
light, light, lightly child
deeply but lightly through kinder eyes
youthful and flawed
you cage me in loving and gentle prisons walls
how I built my fortress inside
where you house me till the end of my time
in any cardboard coffins
you can find
dark, dark, darker skies
tend wild flowers, brew violent tides
light, light, lightly child
deeply but lightly through kinder eyes
take my hand in your hand
and guide me through the curves of your terra
I've been reading but unable to understand
why I'm alive, uncontained and unafraid to disappear
take my hand in your hand
and guide me through the curves of your terra
I've been reading but unable to understand
why I'm alive, uncontained and unafraid to disappear

Human

knife in body
limb left behind me
grief is the thing that shadows
never leaving me alone no
ah, I know, I know
Sleep is for tomorrow
ah, now lay me in the snow
before the coffee gets cold
there is love
there is fear
dissolve me on your tongue
inside me not just a skeleton
I'll show you where I belong
where I, where I feel human
where I feel human
where I feel human
where I feel human
there is love
there is fear
there is love
limb left body
knife that guides me
rage is the thing
that shadows me where I go
never leaving me alone no
ah, I know, I know
Sleep is for tomorrow
ah, now lay me in the snow
before the coffee gets cold
there is love
there is fear
dissolve me on your tongue
inside me not just a skeleton
I'll show you where I belong
where I, where I feel human
where I feel human
where I feel human
with no care in the world
it struck me on my soft side
with no where left to turn
but where I, where I feel human
where I feel human
where I feel human
where I feel human
Oh oh no, body letting go
Oh oh no, body getting cold
