OFF WHITE
Do you see the alpenglow
When your burning lights make a fog?
‘Cause there is no light here at all
I only turn my back to see it through
She blurs out the friction to focus the frame
and I gave all ’til my arms were empty
Now I’ve lost my way in this dead reckoning
and it all disappears in your lonesome
The needles rise, we separate
Our bodies worn them down to the bone
Will I ever let it go
Before you’re turning every vessel I’ve ever known
You’ve blurred out the friction to focus the frame
and I gave all ’til my arms were empty
Now I’ve lost my way in this spiraling drain
and it all disappears…

The way it makes us move like every needle worn the record’s groove
Like vultures on the wire, we’d swarm and scatter all decaying proof
Wading, lost at sea, pre-existent, no land in front of me
Circling in the face of currents, defaced as far as I could see
I remember what I’d became was the furthest from what’s become of me
and it don’t mean a thing to you because
We lived in this house, we could never make our way out
Splattered paint on the walls kept me further from life outside the glass door
I remember
The pendulum counts seconds we spend wandering
We remove its hands
Taking back what time had taken from us, slow and still it stands
We were playing pretend, without a sound, we moved so aimlessly
In a disposition, holding captive what we tried to be
I remember what I’d became was the furthest from what’s become of me
and it don’t mean a thing to you because
We lived in this house, we could never make our way out
Splattered paint on the walls kept me further from life outside the glass door
I remember

If I made the call in this, I’d be reborn in your brain
You were crossing the corners out again
‘Cause someday, it never came and these fences could never keep
A sigh that wore you, fated to pretend
It won’t stop to see you winding up
Oh, we come untied
To sleep away the common days
Omitted your every word
Well I watched the debt collect on the pavement, as dead as leaves
and waited for the day to come back again
and I wore the pouring rain on my shoulders for seven years
To carry the weight around on my chest
It won’t stop to see you winding up
Oh, we come untied
To sleep away the common days
Omitted your every word

SEA OF LEAVES

There’s something about the frigid air
and how it fills my lungs
When I walk to splinter from you to
Open up our frozen
Blinds are spilling moonlight on
Wait another day and the days will collide
I keep it further from me
I’m forging a link into the chain
your penance never made
When I need to splinter from you and
Open up our frozen
Blinds are spilling moonlight on
Wait another day and the days will collide
I keep it further from me
My bones of ash turn steel
My lungs of pure to ice
It fills in fractions and cuts as a cautery to the flesh
Oh, I
But you are all I see

ROOMFUL OF CLOCKS

If you retrace your steps, this stance will
Stretch into a fault
and all the closest to you will come
Following you down in the hole
That you’ve dug yourself and fell into
Boring down in this New Haven air that you breathe
All was sunken in trenches and left here beneath
It’s water in the pale
It’s the dirt when the rain’s coming down
You let drop to your ankles and
Give yourself into a fog
When no one was around, heard you
Scream to the sky in hopes for someone to scream back
Boring down in this New Haven air that you breathe
All was sunken in trenches and left here beneath
Embedded in your head
In case you should try to forget
This place is not your shelter
Its illuminated ruins start
to take the shape of what you leave behind you
Pretend this fits

BATH

The porter watches tarnishing once-crowded rooms
Kept his head together every witching hour
I’m draining myself dry to try and see it through, but you don’t
and there is nothing anyone can do

SYMBALINE

We belong, only further removed from where we came
‘Cause these days run together in temporal strides; it’s all the same
and I’ve been made up of faces I can’t put names to
But you’ve chosen to forget the love they gave you
You’ve opened your eyes
Take back the home that’s left here, boarded up for far too long now
You hide yourself inside of someone else’s life
Where do you run to when everyone turns away?
An aged patchwork season is past, tangled up in a memory’s lace
and you’ve become carefully undone since you’ve lost your hiding place
and I’ve been made up of faces I can’t put names to
But you shut your eyes in sight of all that saved you
Take back the home that’s left here, boarded up for far too long now
You hide yourself inside of someone else’s life
Where do you run to when everyone turns away?
Kept your ration out of my mind
I’ll pull the wool over your eyes and shake the confines
Hit the surface
I’m coming up for air
It’s shattering the pavement, sunken teeth into the insides
But in our debts, we’re connected
You’re the boundary line that confines my stem
We’re leaves that fall from their branch
You pull me up and I am captivated

MOUNTAINEERING

When all of your mind’s a flood of water on
Every bridge you’ll ever cross
They’ll be on the other end
All along, all the gravel, always catching up
In a cycle of a pend
Creeping like clockwork in made amends
Pull the wool back over, eyes sewn shut
It’s never been enough
I know that I’ve lost my sense of direction
Your burden surrounds like a fog in the light
With every breath, it was already cast
The truth and myself to only contrast
The longer I wait, the more you’re taking time
and it’s only running dry
Preying buzzards on your side
You’ve made up your mind, I’m burning every bridge
‘Til we’re caught in a crossfire
and I’m sorted out of touch
This is me backed in the corner
With a halt of pulse from this clench
All we have is the space between us
This is me backed in the corner
With a halt of pulse from this clench
All we have is the space between our backs
Turn off and cut the cord
Tell me now
Don’t you feel the cold breeze?
Sleeping like you’re dead in this heat
You’re never alone
And I’ve been here wondering what
it’s taken to forget everything that I’ve learned about you
I know that I’ve lost my sense of direction
Your burden surrounds like a fog in the light
With every breath, it was already cast
The truth and myself to only contrast

After all, you sent the weather to fog up my head
Beset the fire I march through with eyes sealed shut
To fall in and out of place
The rainwater keeps collected in every pale
Falling into the ceilings to keep you awake
To fall in and out place
But you wear a loss around your neck
Like a pendant on the surfaces set
When a milestone was on the bridge
We were caught up in an ending that fit
All along, you kept together to fall back apart
I came across to you hanging from thread to repair
To fall in and out of place
They’re filing out until the silence is deafening red
You turn the dials to start it all over again
To fall in and out of place
But you wear a loss around your neck
Like a pendant on the surfaces set
When a milestone was on the bridge
We were caught up in an ending that fit

GHOSTS OF OURS
05:23

Woke in the morning drawing open the blinds
Had nothing to lose but loss left nothing aside
It’s all we have to lose
You couldn’t have made it through your years alone
‘Cause somebody else had to take you away from home
It’s all we have to lose
Outside, the rain is pouring down and on their pride
and they’ve got nothing else until they come untied
It’s all we have, so find me a place to go
You forget who you are so easily
It makes no difference when you’re trying to explain yourself
You’ll follow the lead of abandoning pleas
You’ve never even let it outside your head
To get back what it took from you in the end
It’s all we have to lose
There’s too many things that cannot be replaced
In the murk that wipes the smirk right off your face
It’s all we have to lose
In time, it’s filing out into the air with wrong
I’ve kept my head to the ground, but it’s taken too long
When it’s all we have, so find me a place to go
You forget who you are so easily
It makes no difference when you’re trying to explain yourself
You’ll follow the lead of abandoning pleas
Someday the riptide will wash this all away
and the sun will bleed life into daylight
