Cape Frost 04:05
lyrics
buy track
Oh Cape Frost’s got It’s fangs in him With it’s frozen shores Fit for ice fishin’ No, no sunny beach Ripe cabana lovin’ Preach Brave New World Gotta suffer lustin’ A high school crush Just to get him talking Penchant for film Oh fuck up his dreamin’ The numb dumb waves Fetch his metaphor For his “cold dark heart” Oh tries to write his novel Treats it like a gospel All the words he tries to phrase Are worlds away from him Short on truths from him The same old walks He’s done a thousand times Feel like miles and miles Oh they’re out of sight Yeah the boardwalks shops Chippin’ paint facades Just anecdote for when He’s good and gone Just hold on Dig your feet in ice sand Oh one day he’ll leave here Returning as a tourist Knowing that the songs he’s learned He’s reaped from old regrets gleaned what time forgets And he goes And he goes Small town hero Take a breath These heavy handed fallacies And hyperbolic fantasies Are losing what's actually left Tries to write his novel Treats it like a gospel All the words he tries to phrase Are worlds away from him Short on truths from him Oh one day he’ll leave here Returnin’ as a tourist Knowin’ that the songs he’s learned He’s reaped from old regrets gleaned what time forgets

Golden Boy 03:35 video
lyrics

Are you feeling fine? Are you safe all the time? ‘Cause that trace on your face Must give you pause When you float by the mirrors Fixed to your floor Are you late cause you’re lost? Walked a road several times And you thought you could go The rest of the way In your sleep If they’d stop trying to wake you Oh local golden boy There’s no award for this show Oh local golden boy The town all heard you left for good She saw you swim across the lake That night when the dock lights were low Waves of reflection Lost in darkness Said you would write me When you knew Where all the hate came from Are you awake? Can I call? Are you scared cause the voice You use has failed you before And you want nothing more Each word risks wayward motion Oh local golden boy There’s no award for this show Oh local golden boy There’s no award for this show Oh local golden boy There’s no award for this show Oh local golden boy The town all heard when you were born Our boy, our miracle You slept through the night With the lights dimmed low Pools of reflection Damned inertia Said you would write me When you knew Where you had fallen from Are you feeling fine? Are you safe all the time? Are you late cause you’re lost? Are you awake? Can I call? Write me when you’ll listen. There’s no award for this show Oh local golden boy There’s no award for this show Oh local golden boy There’s no award for this show Oh local golden boy There’s no award for this show

Context 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Save it for a song then bleed catharsis Shout it like a mute if they hear skeletons Dance around the truth cause I’ve never seen it or found the right words to try and sell it Pick another tone or change the context Tacit doesn’t taste like real Standing on shoulders Behemoths, looming How could they be born from this? How could I be more than this? How could I be more than this? Icarus is taking flight I’ll be on the ground Sediment body I don’t want my name in gold I don’t want my name in gold Save it for the tides alone Silhouette a page Phantom limb aching Falling from a sky of gold Sink into the dirt alone Pick another tone or change the context Tacit doesn’t taste like real Standing on shoulders Behemoths, looming How could they be born from this? How could I be more than this? How could I be more than this? Icarus is taking flight I’ll be on the ground Sediment body I don’t want my name in gold I don’t want my name in gold Save it for the tides alone Silhouette a page Phantom limb aching Falling from a sky of gold Sink into the dirt alone Oh save it for a song then bleed catharsis Shout it like a mute if they hear skeletons Dance around the truth cause I’ve never seen it or found the right words to try and sell it Pick another tone or change the context Tacit doesn’t taste like real Standing on shoulders Behemoths, looming Tacit never tastes like real How could they be born from this? How could I be more than this? How could they be born from this? How could I be more than this?

Sky and the Beast 04:25
lyrics
buy track
Oh fear cools down my spine And I’m left with shards from it I amend my old story On the shore Not sure why again Dunes ahead, storms behind him Sky hears the beast From the cove in its cave It’s the only way forward Shut your mouth Lose that smirk on it Terrors form when you act innocent Save dark thoughts Hide what feasts within Red on lips When you won’t wake from it So the sea kisses sand On the edge of infinity Sky’s mind is divided Scorched earth ahead Bolts dance behind him Wake the beast Oh Sky prove you’ll fight it Flood the cave face the beast In the riptide Hear it howl out in pain In your own mind Shut those ears Lose that ring from them Terrors form when you act innocent Save dark thoughts Hide what feasts within Red on lips When you won’t wake from it Nobody fears you quite like me Nobody All that I told you All of those lies I believed Metaphor’s what helps me sleep Hide the abject in the beast (Shut your mouth Lose that smirk on it Terrors form when you act innocent) (Save dark thoughts Hide what feasts within Red on lips When you won't wake from it) Nobody fears you quite like me Drank through it in college Wrote songs in high school But the hate was still there Yeah the hate was still there If there is no Sky If there is no Beast What’s wrong with me

Hearts of Tidewater 04:15
lyrics
buy track
Stretched my hand out towards your light I dove into the blood-dirt Heart of Tidewater Choking on ideas that feel Bigger than me Laughing like I had a plan Slipped when trying to grip the earth You were crying Choking on ideas that move Faster than I Can say I’m sorry Pride, it tells a different story Fear my nights alone Fort Myers You ghost town Florida’s hurricanes have Stripped our marks from you I’ve seen the house It looks like it’s been Swallowed Oh sister Escaping from our island We knew everything Sweet arrogance of kids, No I Won’t say I’m sorry Pride, it tells a different story Fear my nights alone Oh Ivan The palm trees Are gone Choking on ideas that feel Bigger than me Choking on ideas that Move faster than I could imagine Sanibel Daytrips with you The shells cut our feet But still we raced out to the sea That sunk us down Watched the storm strike from the deck To count the thunder’s deep footsteps We taped the Xs to the pane Oh danger back then, just a game As far as origins stories go Our dock lost in the undertow Do you smell beaches in the rain? Do visions flash, you can’t sustain? Oh Nostalgia’s Dark clouds Break way To bliss Can imagine Sanibel Daytrips with you The shells cut our feet But still we raced out to the sea That sunk us down With every red moon rise The melody of frogs Would lull us Can a place be gone If senses won’t move on? Our hearts of Tidewater Our hearts of Tidewater
