Welcome back inside my head We can start when I say when Chasing ourselves until we’re stuck Are you thinking too much or am I not thinking enough? Take off that scarf around your neck And we can learn how to regret Riding the world like a wave Forgetting all sense of our time and place Can you feel something give? Can you feel something shift? Lost in between your kissless lips I am climbing down Off the wall Something about the way this town Smells when you’re around Sweeter than wood on the lavender coast Isn’t our worst still better than most? Can you feel something give? Can you feel something shift? Lost in between your kissless lips I am coming down Off the wall

Titans 03:11
My breath, softer than snow Breaking windows to let out the cold This isn’t so bad so stop your complaining High five back at the sun Sucking the light out of everyone Leave them alone, they’ll find their way Coming back around Fill in this hole Burn it to the ground Piling up (under nothing) Taller than titans (do you see them where they walk?) The night sits darker then black Only forgiven if you never look back Twisting the road wherever you fall down Time learns not to obey Small town dreamers with little to say Some day you’ll know this was all in your head Coming back around Fill in this hole Burn in it to the ground Piling up (under nothing) Taller than titans (do you see them where they walk?)
3.
When you leave here, don’t shed a single tear Heart broken times dissolving by design Are you for real or are you blind? Inside the rain are things we’d never say Alone is free, you’re scared way more than me Some things aren’t meant to be believed I’ve been waiting a long time for you I’ve been waiting a long time for this Are you gonna let me take you? Are you gonna let me take you down? And then someday, we’ll all get washed away Besides your mind, there’s nothing left behind There’s something on the other side Have I been wrong this whole time?
4.
Drive me over the line if you’re inclined Dry me up in your light if you don’t mind Temporarily mine just one time Close your eyes and rob me blind Close your eyes and bend my spine Stitch me up until I’m ripe on every side (All things bound to happen) Scrape me off to the sideline left to hide You push me in, sink or swim I am laying here set to spin And in 2, 1, we come undone Don’t let me fall behind under sun Wrapped in your twine, I’m your mine Buried in the heat we’re inside
5.
If you like what I’m telling you There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do When you’re wearing down your hair I do what you want me to do Dropping the ball We’re here to disappear Choosing to fall (together) Let’s stay high up, there’s nothing here Just chimney smoke that fills the air Dropping the ball We’re here to disappear Choosing to fall (together) Maybe we're caught in the clear Dropping the ball We’re here to disappear Choosing to fall (together)

Seems to Be 01:58
If we haven’t had the chance to meet, then let’s not Stay between our hopes of rescuing what we’ve lost It doesn’t matter It’s always better Than it seems to be Wrapped inside our heads of memory, too soon to trust If we’re really watching everyone turn to dust It’s never mattered It’s always better Than it needs to be

2081 03:04
Washing away the salt inside your mouth Just by looking around Swing low, jump high In a barrel full of light If it’s too hard to tell, leave it behind Throwing stones deep in the well If you don’t trust yourself, why trust someone else? Building inside your head until it starts working again Back in the unmade bed Swing low, jump high When you’re barely getting by If it’s too hard to tell, leave it behind Throwing stones deep in the well If you don’t trust yourself, why trust someone else? Don’t try to turn it off Maybe it’s not there at all
8.
Taken 04:37
Taken by an undertow I feel your pull toward wild excess And if you need it, please believe it Abandon all your stress Tell me when to start this Light and paint flowing between the houses Can you even see me? We are speeding up There’s nothing left to say Flying crows Breaking their bones in And where have you been? Taken by an undertow I feel your pull toward wild excess And if you need it, please believe it Abandon all your stress Better believe me when That it doesn’t always come out even Patiently dig deeper When you give a little Take some in the end Flying crows Breaking their bones in And where have you been? Taken by an undertow I feel your pull toward wild excess And if you need it, please believe it Abandon all your stress Low flying crows They’re breaking their bones in But where have you been?
9.
All I Need 04:40
You’re all I’ll ever know You’re all I’ll ever be You’re all that lives Inside of me I’m like the rain cloud In a crowded museum Stuck in a sunset Barely able to stand What’s come before Is nothing like what’s next (You’re all ever need) You’re all I need (You’re all ever be) You’re all I’ll be All my eyes see Is you Forget what you think you know What’s ours is never gone Destroy their senselessness Despite the odds We are where we come from With hope for the best How much we mess with it Decides all the rest
10.
You’ve fallen under Those who laugh at your lacking Of laws you broke, broken attractions Now you’ve confused fun for love There’s no difference now To whom you complain Makes no difference now You will be the same either way Lost but not forgotten All those doubts that you’re having To lies you told, never distracted Soon things will stop going your way
11.
Dirt & Water 03:42
I’m a puddle of dirt and water You’re a rain cloud and you’re the land You have one of my eyes in each of your hands Cradle or crush them, it hardly matters I went walking on the boardwalk While the rain fell and while you slept Let a memory go for each one I kept I’m afraid to let the ball drop Wake up soon, I see the red dawn Cover your eyes Move to slow to ever move on I’m a kettle of boiling water You’re a faucet and you’re a flame You know who I am, I know who’s to blame You can’t trust me but that hardly matters Wake up soon, I see the red dawn Cover your eyes Move to slow to ever move on
12.
No one run at the starter’s gun Now we’re back to square one Leave behind your easy dreams Haven’t yet begun to make amends At the bottom it’s too deep to tell Heard you fell and we wish you well Lost within the ocean swell Save your coins for someone else Heard you found an empty yell that eats away At the bottom it’s too deep to tell Erasing everything you’ve ever seen
