Last night I woke up
So unprepared to die
I begged the world to let me stay
A stranger stared across the bed
I've been alive so long
I've grown attached to it
I know I don't tend it
But please can I keep it
How do things start?
What makes them stray and fall apart?
When I'm stuck in the middle
My words abandon me for days
Watch the right movie
Will I know what to say?
If I drink enough
Will I know what to say?
I don't know how to talk to people
I don't know how to keep my friends
I'm afraid of uncertainty
And scared that all these things will end
That night I woke up
Unprepared to make my case
Oh please look like you know me
Oh please act like you'll save me
Nothing to offer
Got nothing to say
I clutched at the sheets
As each breath tore away
My fear was relentless
My heartbeat, relentless
My hate drone relentless
My dread bloomed relentlessly
Unswayed

Caught her autumn glow
Wrote it down and cut a track
Thought I could concoct a code
Thought you'd care to take a crack
Seven shots at seventeen
Falling back on 00s
Spitting venom through my teeth
Julian, I felt your ghost
You know the buzz is lingering
Its filter cracked the futile
Words I wouldn't sing
They sink into a blue
A blue
All my heroes in a book
But they don't like the way they look
In Massachusetts years away
Heard New York City for a day
All my features strain your lungs
No I don't like the way they're sung
Hard to hear your voice aloud
Breaks my heart to hear its doubt
Flowers for my brain
Madame Rivers silhouette
If I strike the right refrain
Will it curse sophomore regret?
I was too shy
This mountain too high
A silent alarm
A plea to disarm
The buzz still lingering
Its filter traps the futile
Words I wouldn't sing
They sink into a blue
So this is what was kept inside?
Your first attempt at that sunrise?
Didn't take a pause to lie
Eleven bolts you let 'em fly
Hudson River Valley hymns
A bigger chorus full of vim
The things I felt, but couldn't say
I knew their pitch when you would play

We don't take photographs
We don't have friends like that
I see your face in a crowd
And wonder what I touched
To bring you here
We aren't friends like that
Don't sleep anymore
At least not when I want to
Thoughts like cars
I watch them from the back
Of our minivan
The bright headlights
Always right behind me
I play this game
Where I close my eyes
And try to feel a place
Where I once lay
'til daylight comes
And you fade beside me
We don't write letters back
Don't call, just spend a moment
Stays in my atmosphere
Each talk a particle of me
With all the memories told
I catch your voice
And close the distance
And remain friends like that
Don't sleep anymore
At least not when I want to
Thoughts like cars
I watch them from the back
Of our minivan
The bright headlights
Always right behind me
I play this game
Where I close my eyes
And try to feel a place
Where I once lay
'til daylight comes
And you fade beside me
Don't sleep anymore
Thoughts like cars
I crash into the past
Crash into the past
With all the memories told
I catch your voice
And close the distance

Stretch the dull canvas skin
Off-white like Colorado snowcaps
When the sun swoons
Creeping down
You pulled it wider than your wingspan
Eyes softened up to see
All the pigments where they fit
A language I don't know
I know I could've lost us
With a bated breath
And a choice that could've cost us
Centuries, centuries
Where you go
My heart will follow
Sun rose up on the quad at 6am
Inside we built a monument
And chiseled out our fears from it
Never think to call
'cause I never felt I left you
Never far from thought
Like a brother when I met you
Years go by
And all this time
Oh I know I could've lost us
With a bated breath
And a choice that could've cost us
Centuries, centuries
Where you go
My heart will follow
No, I know I could've lost us
With a bated breath
And a choice that could've cost us
And it goes and goes and goes
Where you go
My heart will follow
For centuries, centuries

Helmholtz

He shot a quick lie
Promethean and from a spark
Our garden bloomed
He sketched some quick lines
And where we stood
Was the only thing we knew
Know your place
And I'll come show you mine
There is a bright line out your chest
A woken heart
A summer
There is a mural on the west side
Of our town where we all
Rise up with the heat as vapor
And leave our fears
In conjoint graves
There is a bright line out your chest
With each generation
We fixed the fence up with a fresh coat
The first time, I met you
Your voice, it simmered on the divide
Oh your place it's not too far dear
Helmholtz, hold your tongue
About the elevator staff
Going down sub ground
Saw a glint leave his eye
Now the green from the billboard
Light comes slinking down
On your perch of the roof
Of the news building tower
You've got so many things
That you wanted to phrase but can't
There is a bright line out your chest
A woken heart
A summer
There is a mural on the west side
Of our town where we all
Rise up with the heat as vapor
And leave our fears
In conjoint graves
There is a bright line out your chest

King of My Head
03:21

Standing on the dock I swore
This is where we'll meet
When I get lost
Well I cut the line
When the boat left shore
Chart your course to Avalon
I'll write songs for each
Day it's gone
And watch the heat rise
Off the wake
King of my head well
I live here and I'm not
This siege was long now
My castle's worn to ground
I'm starved, a bit scared
A voice that's not my own
Teeming in the darkest
Corners of my mind
If I spoke out with intent
And made it known
All the choices that were made
Were seeds long sown
Chose a path from far away
And now my days
Are cut in stone
In a town of rust red brick
Snow would fall
And time would slip
So I found some peace
And ignored the call
Salt on ice to carve a path
Change of seasons forced me back
Or I'd have slept through all my days
If I spoke out with intent
And made it known
All the choices that were made
Were seeds long sown
Timid vines that grew like wine
In drunken lines slurred round my home
Two vultures by the riverside
Pick the bones off clean
When they wash downstream, fly
Two vultures by the riverside
Too hesitant to kill
Two vultures by the riverside
Lick the meat off clean
From these uncooked dreams, fly
Two vultures when we aligned
Too hesitant to kill
(King of my head well)
If spoke out with intent
And made it known
(King of my head well)
All the choices that were made
Were seeds long
King of my head
