Mumble 02:03
I want to stir your voice box Steal your best side and make it mine Tangle you with me, in a basement Stumble and trip over words to make you Mumble a melody with me.

Kite 03:24
I'm breathing heavy but it's not even late Been thinking of the past and how it's permanent, fixed Not too concerned, I know we'll all be fine I'm easy-going, so I go with the current Keep me moving, I'm giving up too soon, Tripping over clues you left, blatant for me to see. Waking up that part of me I wish it was inside of me It beats out the truth of these Words I write with sincerity Call me brave, insanity I'm distant like a passing sigh The apathy you say, Is keeping you alive I don't believe a word you said I'm floating like a children's kite, And this is all that's keeping you From cutting me away.

Exist 02:20
Effortlessly, sink your eyes to my body It's stitching me up and isn't helping me to sleep well It's those black stones between color Gazing out hoping you'll never find another I see black and white from your silhouette Desaturate and keep the detail, don't let it get lost in the film burn It's this 50 millimeter dream of eyesight, Perfectly framed, perfectly focused on your flawlessness Now I see the part I might have missed If I left my heart at home But I know that you would see me through Even if I did, it's nice to exist. I'm tossing ideas to a still lake and a mirrored sky I hope these slow ripples reach you I tossed a hint, if you don't feel that, I'll keep skipping rocks, waiting for this to sink in Now I see the part I might have missed If I left my heart at home But I know that you would see me through Even if I did, it's nice to exist.

Brighten 02:48
Give me something dark and elegant With light to illuminate this brightened mind Take my words with weight and pin them to you Until you learn the meaning and release the burden. Where is that full-fledged smile I've been dying to see It's been a mystery with so much distance between And calling you sounds like high school, But I've been feeling more youthful with each word exchanged. Barter with fate and I hope I'll see you Stretched across film strips in my living room Captivated by your red light smiling Wondering where I can lose track of time I'm slowly building up to everything I want to say I'll let it fade away, Like a question unasked but begging for answers So fall in love with my lack of tact

Remedy 01:01
This is me calling out from a basement Solemn sound ringing out from a hollow chest, Hollow memory, hollow everything. Did you spit the seed out to the dirt Your hope so low, such surprise when it grows You're the remedy, unknowing remedy.
6.
Red Fur 02:48
I'm missing your face, love And I'll believe you when you say "Things come to an end And things do get better." Pull the sheets over your head Sleep will come soon If you're dreaming of a place, I hope it's my bedroom floor You keep walking slowly, And I'll come back around. Sleeping soundly down below Bark when you need assistance I spoke in musical phrases You listened closely and stayed silent Steady your hand, and grab mine I know you're making the difference If you're losing your gentle touch You can practice your swing on me now. You keep walking slowly, And I'll come back around. Your footsteps echo, So I know where you are.

Depiction 03:33
You turned my pillow into the idea of you Laying beside me Breathing deeply along to the whirring of my fan Because this house stays hot at night But I couldn't tell the difference when I closed my eyes; Just pretended you were there. I don't know who you're thinking of, But a part of me thinks it's never me But you never fail to ask, "Do you miss me?" And I can't ever dodge the truth of that. It's embedded in my bones. I woke up to the smell of the ocean, But darkness was all I saw The clouds depicted a sunset, But when it all came down to it It was the start and not the end, And I was headed home. This is the vision, Barely depiction This is why I have glasses To see things with clarity If you just hold on; Clouds wander so quickly This is my sound, Ever so soothing. This is the vision, Barely depiction This is why I have glasses To see things with clarity
