Unsafe 02:57
It’s been so many hours since I left your home I saw a hesitation as you rendered the thought I’ll test you on it later from the notes on my hand It’s only human nature but it’s all that I’ve got Someday you will believe me Someday you will release me But you will not be safe
2.
Watching you appear from inside the house (Then) Amuse us all before you stow it away I hear that you’ve consulted an expert that observed the dead and then forgot all the work I hope that you’re awake cos they need you now They need you now more than they’ve ever before I thought of you as having a doctorate You say the words, abbreviations, but you don’t what for It goes dark I’m watching my teeth fall out And punching unfamiliar ground Like light through a table Watching this expand outside the town (The) affusion’s off so drain the fluid away I see that you’re applauding with separate hands A future safe now there’s a theory to learn I hope that you’re awake cos I need you now I need you now more than I’ve ever before I never thought they’d see you so desperate You’re saying words, abbreviations, But you don’t know what for
3.
Mouth 04:23
Tell me when your teeth come through And maybe we can work it out Smoke it til the skin dries through It’s all that we can talk about I sold my seat at the back of the bus A trip across the seas couldn’t solve it for us Cos you are what you are And that’s what you want I don’t understand what to do with it now Words are getting stuck on the roof of my mouth You survey the house while I study the sounds All the ones that change with the shape of your mouth Cos I don’t understand what to do with you now
4.
Fears 03:57
When the tiniest reserve’s barely enough to entertain Doesn’t matter to me I’m keeping warm inside the house (cos) Sheltering under fallen trees Wasn’t something I cared to repeat But I’m dying to meet you Is it sad that I’ve forgotten how to make my body move Another year and I’m nothing more Than a stranger in the dark How I miss it now the slightest sound Could lead to an episode Sitting quietly in the van Watching the changing of the guard Doesn’t matter to me Doing homework in the park Smiling politely as you cry I just hope that you kept the receipt But they’ll try to believe you I have a fear of the unknown and that’s alright
5.
Lifesaver 02:57
Every little thing, inside and out Cast a focus on the season And the arguments I forgot about Every little flaw we stopped to expel Gave new life to all the habits (but) With a sting from the pain that You and I felt Turn it back around And dust off the shelf Put a pin in all the questions You were always afraid to ask yourself Three or so years now we’ve known it too well Give a chance to all new habits Take the sting from the pain that You and i felt I cast a line upon the sea It fell so short of everything that You could ever need Now we’re walking away But I can remember why As I’m watching the plane Burn across a neon sky We’re two of a kind Born into a different time And if I leave you here It might just save your life The train is boarding now And here’s your ticket out
6.
Swim 02:57
Think about the age of the oath And keep it to hand Must have been waiting for the extra room to expand Watching our existence as it now descends into farce Everything changed when you told me it wasn’t a joke still I laughed I’d walk across a bridge so I could reach you They really hope to see this through I’ll fall apart before a path can be exhumed Think about the cages of youth And ask what they’re for Does it raise questions or is there nothing to report? Take a big gulp of the air, it’s easy to swallow Everything changed when you abandoned all of the Senses that you know
7.
Pelican Pete 02:59
You’ve got an axe to grind There’s a place in town that haunts me It’s true, setting fire to it earned a death before you warned me Their grue trickles into the forest (where) shallow is the whole stay Pelican Pete You’ve gone too far this time Pelican Pete You’re out of your mind You’ve got grave defined In the shadow of the arcade It’s all we can offer you now As a memory of the old way Your blood barely filled up the bath Now as shallow as the first day

The Skin 04:29
I don’t think we talked enough Nothing from your mouth for several months Saw you in a purple cloak bleed from the inside for those you love I’ve always been an animal Destroying everything you own I can advocate for secrecy And take it to the throne I’ve a solution, don’t call the police Stay in the circle til no one’s breathing I see no reason to be indiscreet I don’t think you’ll feel the punch or feel it as it burns inside your guts when you’re bleeding from the inside for the ones you love I see no reason now I’m staring, cold and locked, at the bottle with you I see no reason to be When my skin is my skin And I can’t seem to handle it My skin is my skin But I’m not equipped to live in it
10.
Used to It 04:15
I caught my foot inside of a wheel and watched all the toes getting broken I never thought you’d want to draw this out of the vein But it’s obvious I’ll never learn You were perched on the edge of a log And gave me a book that you wrote yourself It’s 350 pages I’ll never read But it sure looks good on the shelf I tried weeding out the feeling A subtle grip without a meaning There’s water coming from the ceiling But we’ll get used to it I caught you laughing in the wrong way And left you stranded in a free bay You never thought it mattered anyway And you’ll get used to it A product of arresting appeal A branch from the tree that you swung from A full blown burning at the back of my throat Wouldn’t keep me from moving along You were hanging on to this by a thread And shot me a phrase that you coined yourself It reeks of salty wisdom and unhealthy contempt But I don’t expect anything else
