We’d burn Brighter than the ether Burning through the stars Look where we are We grow from hate, despite the things that we create Lovers born to break the balance of our hearts We’ve lost the time that you promised me We were young, we were young You don’t want to be alone But you refuse to hold your tongue You are not the man you were, but this is more than you and me This is not the life we swore, nor is this who I thought I’d be I’ve kept a lot from you But you like to hurt me too The words you wield so flagrantly, And you feel like you’re saving me. But there’s, Three words, a reason to say there’s a reason to stay, Though we’re bleeding and falling apart Three lives, yeah we’ll be alright Even if there’s no love, I won’t give up on your heart Alright We’ve lost who we are, And I’m not sure we’ll be alright Three words, three lives We can’t walk out now Three words, three lives I don’t care how it sounds This means more than us

Call off the guards You’re arrested in time, suspended Your wings are your scars We can’t sleep in the fire The weak is the wolf with the heart Breathe your Christian tongue to me Your apostles have been sharing their drinks with thieves Stop, the ether’s in my throat And I promised myself that I wouldn't choke But the words are anchored to my teeth And they sound like you And, oh, the world’s so dark If we could see Then maybe we could find a place to start And all the sons of Dolores could silence their beating hearts If we ever come back down, down I can only imagine we’d find That we never left our homes And I keep thinking of things Like the sky, and how it got there And it’s getting me nowhere fast But if I reach out my hand, Just to grab what’s in the air Am I holding on to anything, anything I've lost you in the mess I’ll wait for you there I’ll wait for you to come back down They all sound like you

lyrics

Has this been your only wish Can I pretend life was never one? Or have I been repeating them? I’m perching over hills to see straight I've become so familiar, I'll draw the details of your mouth. You’re all I can bare to become All that is inside of me Are songs that you have sung And we sing, “Maybe you could take us home. Maybe you could save us.” You’re pulling my teeth for the words To hear the absence waiting in my throat We’re drawn in a pattern; Stealing up the wall space These woods, your woods rush around me and I’m lost Wandering; I've been so wrapped up in you I need more time, love. Help me turn back these hands. (Spring huddles up against us, Warming and cooling our sun bared skin. Wide eyed smiles, sweet brushing lips that I feel your sincerity I've become so familiar, I’ll draw the details of your mouth) I can see it now

Waste all of the words The words, you don’t Invent what you see And can you believe The song and the sea Between all the leaves I can keep up with you Because I’m in love with you And even your ways And all I can see, see, see Is the end of a story you wrote in your sleep I believe-leave, leave That your post-modern fiction, It won’t let you breathe It won’t let you speak I've been reaching over boat sides For some sort of sense, I've tried All the delusions of childhood They never really left you Your stature is beginning to falter Action without reason can be very destructive Then again that never worried you In fact, it captured you The same way you captured every fear you’d ever felt And kept them in a jar until you could find a vessel And god your lips were the conduit But my name sounds good in your mouth For some sort of sense, I've found

I found the town we were looking for in the backseat And the waves crashed against our wounded knees We drove around for hours as the sounds moved past me And your name became the cavalry, sent to take the city back from thieves You stopped the car and told me that you were Afraid to live a life you hadn't seen in the films So call your folks, Tell them that you’re staying for awhile And I’ll create a selfish state for you to live in peace You cost the kingdom all its men When you tried to save the world You wrote me with an ink-less pen Now you’re writing out your dreams You flew a thousand miles To take what you’d already buried in The sand, this home’s no longer yours Then the ambulance came to take me And the sirens sounded like the song You used to sing to me while I would sleep They traded stares and spoke of my body And one man told me stories While I lay in the mercy of my faith He said, “I once met a man whose scars looked much like Babel, He had the eyes of Job and the wisdom of the sky. When I met him he was fighting fire And fell beneath the sea. Sometimes, the hands that save us Work to wither down our spines. You cost the kingdom all its men When you tried to save the world You never did write me back Now you’re tearing out your hair You walked across the earth Your bloody hands were broken by the fall In my dreams, at least you have the sense The sense to wash them off I’m writing you again to let you know that I’m alive And there is nothing you can do I’m not angry, I’m not scared No the water here is nice And it’s okay that I’m alone Cause like a man that I have Met inside my dreams I've seen scars that are worse And I’m learning to survive I’m learning to live again.

Is This You? 05:58
lyrics

Your promises I’m not sure what they mean And timelessness is never what it seems I know that I have dealt my share of pain And so, I’ll be leaving with the rain They’re not the words that you would like to hear, but words are words. As I walk away And you turn to stone I will thank you for the days That you made hell feel like home And you will grow to hate the way The sky burns darker shades of grey And my name, it bleeds through you in vane In your veins, you should know I’m to blame, you should go without me Without me you’re monument With all those marks you've made The graceless time your father spent, The reasons that you’re so afraid The cost of war is not so clear When love and blood become our muse When all your virtue is to fear I must go, Yeah, everything must go This is where we come to find The fires that we failed to light This fight is not ours We’ll find that we must fix our minds I must fix my mind

The lights The calming sense of fear I know the water’s cold and I don’t mean to be The sea, And everything you’re mourning Come to me You’re lost And you don’t have a choice Brother, I’m a friend Your brother said, “Your pen Told the telegraph To mar the minds of men” Carolyn, You’re casting all of your sins To the back of the book, You’re not whole. You’re breaking all The batteries instead Losing the chemistry of kindness You are You are the calm, the calm. I hope you come I hope you come around The lights, the sea And everything else I couldn't be The sky Telegraphs that I could already read Carolyn, your ghost is in the hall But God, I can’t see it anymore you’re not loved.

Convalesce You fractured mess Counteract All the chemicals you can You've been away Time goes by, and I Cope, count, Kill the sound Homes like citadels Don’t fall asleep (You are an artifact) Count what you keep (here, hear don’t look back) We are the fortunate Against your tattered lips

Is this you? Are you the heart I found too far from me to save? Or are you the child I chose to Choose despite your ways In time You're inside of life, you always found your own You are the light, you are the trees and all of my bones I'd be an arctic, If the rain would be our song Leaving no trace that we'd ever left our homes (Unless you taste the cold) Calm the ocean Calm the sorrow You're the ocean Come tomorrow I'm alive

Kill the state, The camera’s on your side The canvas that you stole Is the one you can’t erase And may I say, That you create the cancer that you claim Will see your death We’ll see your death Ooh, and if we can’t come back Then where is there to go? Your body’s a machine And you’re the night And if there’s still a chance That afterlife is polar Then I will hold you ‘til The stars have made their choice We made our choice Throw yourself into Throw yourself into The sea..
