Lesser Ones 03:16
look ahead and see the place to meet me is only about halfway but fissures running up your face defeat me and echo the words i say it's a stone I would throw after- but you're much too far away and i'd be sure to miss you'll remember i said this, one day consider the lesser ones your daughters and yes, your sons let it come, and with it bring feeling anew (but) it don't mean a thing (to you) you give only broken hints for weeks now so tell me how did you fare? i don't think we've spoken since you found out and maybe i shouldn't care so in self pity drown when you're down under water wishing you were there how long will you last without ever coming up for air? another day goes by and still i wait for you still, i cannot deny the things i know are true we'll wait it out and see, a minute more a minute more consider the lesser ones your daughters and yes, your sons if you ever want them back then maybe try meeting them where they're at

Swingset 02:59
it dawned on me that you are not able to get up off the floor if up to me i would have brought this up before but only after can i see clearly that things have gone amiss if i had returned it would not have ended up like this up in the air, falling down empty handed while unaware of the ground where you landed "don't follow me and you'll be doing fine," just dont give me that line. in this broken mirror you're sullen and i you would deject, but thoughts turn to glass, and on these things i reflect. vivid, bright-the colors that follow, and fill this empty room your pekid skin, just a sign of your impending doom. saw you running after, what better way to tell you than this?

North 03:07
hey, so how does it go? your face doesn't show me whether or not you know. stop and back up again this mess that youre in... is it over? i heard all about everything i felt in the way. i heard all about everything will you be ok? so, you're spinning your wheels, go dig in your heels, don't mind the burning rubber. no use losing your tread while losing your head, shift to neutral. sooner or later you'll be fine as long as you stop now to question why now what to do only you decide will you try? now that you're here is the coast clear?

so different when across the lake blue green eyed hour caught us in the wake i hope she feels the way that i do i rippled when to me she spoke and rode the wave even as it broke i'm riding still i hope forever the sun will regret shining i won't forget but will you? do you believe in us still can we see this thing through? arrest my fears and be content its taken years but its time well spent and it means more than you imagine long way to go before we're done and you should know more than anyone that i am always thinking of you and there's time for answers right or wrong thanks for standing by me for so long

i've been feeling beat and brokenhearted don't want to complete the things i've started the noise, the fuzz, the radiating buzz (the way everything does) it's so loud surprised, ashamed, the object of the game is sounding all the same it surrounds sky deliver me before i'm bled from the crowded airwaves overhead conquered and undone so worn and faded when everything's become so complicated a lot to say, but always on the fray and never in the way you wanted and so, for me a decent melody is what i want to leave undaunted an old song, an old line it's ok it's all fine convince me what is good what i like what i should do

Resolute 02:56
reaping the seeds i planted things that i always took for granted i feel a little bit unstable tell me if i'm willing are you able to come and help me out right now? if you do, i'm resolute i wont back down broken and i'm still breaking change is my latest undertaking im only hoping that tomorrow has a greater hope for me to borrow im separated from the rest i will try, but i can only do my best today i saw myself with honest eyes and my face i barely recognized. if the wounded never heal what will i do? how will i feel? can i assume, at least pretend, that things will work out in the end? sunken and I'm still sinking and you're the only thing I'm thinking of ties that I could hardly sever when I'm needing you now more than ever

Merge 03:48
everyone is pushing into me and now the sun is shining into morning i try and remember your name i try, but it's never the same build it out a mile wide high enough that you can hide make it out of what might have been you say youll come out, but when? down below, reddening the surface you're bleeding so, what ever made you nervous? blush, a dead giveaway hush, theres nothing to say you spend the night alone in reflection haunted by the question. but is it right just waiting for an answer? well, no one ever answers

soon i'll have the nerve and give what you deserve maybe i'll be nice by grading on a curve belated and complicated and i know you won't feel the same too bad it had to come back this way she only knows god and has no other friends do you think it odd? i guess it all depends until we meet again...

mixed up month and too soon to be over me and you with your sudden stop today driving the last of us away and the girl in rearview tries i can only see her eyes she's bracing for the crash and i wonder who's at fault as i'm screeching to a halt but too late words much too curt do they smart? does it hurt? the pavement sweats beneath slighting my efforts to relieve you of the years it takes but i only locked the brakes and the girl in rearview tries i can only see her eyes she's bracing for the crash and i wonder who's at fault as i'm screeching to a halt but too late words much too curt and you were inert does it smart? does it hurt?

Undecided 03:04
drink down what i want to be and ever from a glass that is half empty down to my last dime, as such and optimism costs too much now seeing double it seems under the influence of these dreams the outcome too early to tell but it isn't going very well so i stagger on but if this keeps up it won't be long till i'm forced to choose how much time can i loose? but i'm not ready to trade in my dream for security so i won't be bought not when i've got a shot someone tell me what to do anyone who cares, anyone will do or i'll put everything on the shelf and sit here and absorb myself

Blurred 03:13
a mouthful of yesterday is all thats now left to say and im ever anxious to spit or choke on it either way on one hand its off of my chest the other will put it to rest and so out of my misery tell me which do you think is the best? and right now I've got to do something before it gets any worse you know we can't ignore it I know just what you would say it just works out good this way so true to form you deny the past that you're trying to hide and cover with careful regard the feelings your bravado belied so shed yourself a new skin yeah, one that's thicker again put back on your moth-eaten mask you know the one with the permanent grin
12.
red eyed wonder why and how i thought you would've left by now so these thoughts can expire so bow and reintroduce what years labored to produce these habits make it hard to shake you loose because i don't know, i'm resisting but you seem to go on existing in the back of my head, can i do it again? will you come back my friend? hair brained hover in my head still and small the things you said but reason speaks much louder i think we've been here before you know what i'm asking for if you would but grant my terms i can't ignore i remember too clearly too recent to forget maybe i'll come around but not yet
