Chalk It Up 04:00
Well I'm a special kind of someone With a certain little somethin' that's Screwed on loose in my head And it's a special kind of kindness That this callow Christian blindness Went ahead and made me callous instead Well I can run right through red land rivers Where the ridge line revels in red land sun And I can turn the tables on those Twisted tenor tales that are tellin' you to Settle for one Is it too late to chalk this to a loss? Hang it 'round my neck like an albatross Yeah I'm on top But this mob's without, oh I'm sick of this marriage To lady doubt Give me a sign Of anger so devout I'm lookin' for the exit Fuck this, I'm out Well this looks like a pretty perfect place For our little pity party to pause Though many of the things that I miss the most Will most likely mark me with their claws And it's a happy little handful of half thought Hairline, trigger trps for me to cross Though babe you'll understand that the Rules do demand I get the seed, fox, and chicken across Is it too late to chalk this to a loss? Hang it 'round my neck like an albatross Yeah I'm on top But this mob's without, oh I'm sick of this marriage To lady doubt Give me a sign Of anger so devout I'm lookin' for the exit Fuck this, I'm out And I'm on top of a world that's Burning down King of all the black ash and white Trees I can see Haven't read a lick of the books they're Burning in town Never thought those kind words were meant For me Yeah I'm on top But this mob's without, oh I'm sick of this marriage To lady doubt Give me a sign Of anger so devout I'm lookin' for the exit, yeah I'm lookin' for the exit, hey I'm lookin' for the exit Fuck this, I'm Out

We might not see eye to eye, no But her eyes, they're sapphire waters Drinkin' up, I drink I pray That those gems are here to stay, oh oh She might not be on my side, no But my sides, they're stitchin' up Pushing me I'm on the cusp I try not to laugh or cry Oh sights and sounds won't replace you Hard packed ground won't erase you Livin', but hardly worth all these years Hands in the soil, bury these fears Words confound hope we cling to Bones I found won't convince you Livin', but hardly worth all these years Hands in the soil, your brand new fear, oh And maybe I should get over it Maybe I should just Let you stay, let you stay In a realm of possibility now Maybe I should get on now, And make sure I'm in it for me Oh, who-oah And maybe I should get over it Maybe I should just Let you stay, let you stay In a realm of obscurity now Maybe I should get on now, And make sure I'm in it for me Oh ha ha ha Oh sights and sounds won't replace you Hard packed ground won't erase you Livin', but hardly worth all these years Hands in the soil, bury these fears Words confound hope we cling to Bones I found won't convince you Livin', but hardly worth all these years Hands in the soil, your brand new fear, oh Oh sights and sounds won't replace you Hard packed ground won't erase you Livin', but hardly worth all these years Hands in the soil, bury these fears Words confound hope we cling to Bones I found won't convince you Livin' with these fears

White Noise 04:54
Heat is risin' off me right now Feel it bubble from the underground Dig your hands in the dirt just to stay in Place Shouldn't second guess the owls story Got no eyes of their own, but they're lookin' for me Better bury it deep Just like I I can see What it is I can fight, scream Bite and hiss Oh please just leave me this Fear's got nothin' on these small towns Pines and ghosts will rock that white sound Bones and roots underneath Just like I Got their eyes in your house so get out the country Chew you down to your bones, teeth and eyes so hungry I can bet you'll regret Wasting time I can see What it is I can fight, scream Bite and hiss Oh please just leave me this I, I I, I Oh who-oah I, I know What it is I, I I, I Oh who-oah I, I know What it is I can see What it is I can fight, scream Bite and hiss I, I I, I Oh who-oah I, I know What it is I know tides will Take my soul out, and Wash it clean Against the sand, oh and Crawl for miles on Through that fallout, but I'm just doin' the best I can And dance right on past the Worlds ending, with All my worthless Cards in hand, but I don't think I'll be Seein' your face When I come down to land I, I I, I Oh who-oah I, I know What it is I, I Who-ooo I, I know What it is I, I Who-ooo I, I know What it is

Shineback 04:46
Does it mean I'm Givin' up? Does it mean I've Had enough Does it mean I've Got my shine back Baby it's all around Does it feel like Somethin' new? Measure days in Shades of blue Shake the dust and Scream like an air raid Siren it's all around LA California kids Cigarettes between their lips Blow the smoke into your eyes Well pop's all gone and powered down Clouds of smoke still hang around From where they used to stand in line Shit don't even get me high Was it just one big waste of time? Well somethin' heart Please understand that I've let grey skies Fill my head With talk of something better But you know I'll be just fine It's shock and animus Rock analogous Camel like a sewing thread Taboo like an alchemist Fire where you're goin' So smoulder These kids are only gonna get Older Doesn't feel like Much has changed Way you move ain't Got no grace Painted faces crack When the creases Frown and it's All around Well free climb up their double face Play nice for the just in case Fake it just to add some spice Well we don't need no fire On no bridge on troubled water But the sparks look so damn good at night Shit don't even get me high Was this just one big waste of time? Well somethin' heart Please understand that I've let grey skies Fill my head With talk of something better But you know I'll be just fine It's shock and animus Rock analogous Camel like a sewing thread Taboo like an alchemist Fire where you're goin' So smoulder These kids are only gonna get Older 'cause it's Shock and animus Rock analogous Camel like a sewing thread Taboo like an alchemist Fire where you're goin' So smoulder These kids are only gonna get Older

Tides 04:38
On the house that I left today Splinter marks on the holidays And the signs that would bring me back To my old bivouac Moving pictures of a modern face Line the walls with their timeless grace Eyes are cloudy but the soul less tame Not the same I can't say I'm comin' back down I'm comin' back down I'm comin' round And tides can wait If I come back I'll be carried away Ooooo oh I'm comin' back down I'm comin' back down I'm comin' round and Tides can wait I'm comin' back and I'm carried away There's a child with candles for hands Candles for hands, meltin' his hands There's a man with waves in his head Waves in his head, waves to the dead I can't say I'm comin' back down I'm comin' back down I'm comin' round And tides can wait If I come back I'll be carried away Ooooo oh I'm comin' back down I'm comin' back down I'm comin' round and Tides can wait I'm comin' back and I'm carried away Oh and I can't say I'm comin' back Today no no no I can't say I'm comin' back down I'm comin' back down I'm comin' round And tides can wait If I come back I'll be carried away Ooooo oh I'm comin' back down I'm comin' back down I'm comin' round and Tides can wait I'm comin' back and I'm carried away

Inertia 04:01
I can feel it The sky is cavin' in Comin' over and Down, let the riptide cuddle in Concrete shoes around your feet Heat from friction My mind is wearin' thin Comin' over I'll Wait around for you to Break the surface from beneath Side eyes Tongue tied Wash my mind out In the riptide Slip into the background And feel the noise Feel so Brand new Let inertia bring me back To you I can feel this My mind is cavin' in Comin' over and Down, let the riptide cuddle in Concrete shoes around your feet Heat from friction My soles are wearin' thin Melted rubber, I'll Wait around for you to Break the surface from beneath Side eyes Tongue tied Wash my mind out in the riptide Slip into the background And feel the noise Feel so Brand new From my socks down to my Shoes Side eyes Tongue tied Wash my mind out in the riptide Slip into the background And feel the noise Feel so Brand new From my socks down to my Shoes Side eyes Tongue tied Wash my mind out In the riptide Slip into the background And feel the noise Feel so Brand new Let inertia bring me back To you

Father Birchwood I've Somethin' to confess Somethings bothering My mind And every moment with this Screen between us feels like Wasted time What is it worth if I can Feel it in my chest What is it worth, feels like I'm Dyin' at my best And it would be some twisted Joke if this were just some Test of mine No parable or lamb Could make me understand There's fire on the mount My head is in the clouds His eyes green like the sea Will burrow right through me Oh I'm sitting on the shore Just waiting for the storm Seems so silly now that I'm still sitting here My robes black and white like Excitement and fear But I know that I can Take it all as long as you Are near What is it worth if I can Feel it in my chest What is it worth, feels like I'm Dyin' at my best And it would be some twisted Joke if this were just some Test of mine No parable or lamb Could make me understand There's fire on the mount My head is in the clouds His eyes green like the sea Will burrow right through me Oh I'm sitting on the shore Just waiting for the storm No parable or lamb Could make me understand There's fire on the mount My head is in the clouds His eyes green like the sea Will burrow right through me Oh I'm sitting on the shore Just waiting for the storm

Sunburn 04:20
Tortoise never wins if Rabbit doesn't sleep a wink Sometimes slow and steady Isn't what it seems Baby steps for me will Remain leaps for Earth Though it hardly seems the Path that I deserve And it feels like I'm on fire But I've got chills I like to pretend This porcelain white dome 'round my head Can grant a way For me to come back down to her Fix my thoughts on you as I feel the Sunlight split my cells in two There's no way That you could know how much this burns You know the sky out here still Glitters black and blue Like I'm stitchin' up some Giant cosmic bruise Hard not to feel so lonely Try hard as I might Thought that I'd just go meekly Into that black night And it feels like I'm on fire But I've got chills I like to pretend This porcelain white dome 'round my head Can grant a way For me to come back down to her Fix my thoughts on you as I feel the Sunlight split my cells in two There's no way That you could know how much this burns I like to pretend This porcelain white dome 'round my head Can grant a way For me to come back down to her Fix my thoughts on you as I feel the Sunlight split my cells in two There's no way That you could know how much this burns I like to pretend Porcelain white dome 'round my head Can grant a way For me to come back down to her

November 03:19
And I'll write summer songs in the winter When our familiar rain turns to white ice And all the while my veil grows thinner While the sky pours down like your bright eyes 'Cause you're countin' joules in your food Enthalpic changes of your mood And I can try to make you feel better Oh it's the unknown that we can't find Map the chemistry of your mind And I can just keep wishing for blue skies 'Cause you're countin' joules in your food Enthalpic changes of your mood And I can try to make you feel better Oh it's the unknown that we can't find Map the chemistry of your mind And I can just keep wishing for blue skies
