Only Oceans 05:24
Too many kliks to tell anymore Follow the work keep it brave until it works Flying doesn't feel like it did when you held the floor oh you held the floor You can say: it was just a dream but it kept so much truth it seems I'd prefer it if you didn't stay Stay locked up in my stare The same can be said about The things I said when I held the floor Oh I held the floor Only oceans know well What I can't tell Only dirt can say What I want hear too I'd want to hear too Can you catch me when I sail back through emptiness Trade it in now I can waste I can waste it with another taste 'cus you know well I can be Be the mess you know I can be Oh when I can't see Only oceans know well What I can't tell Only dirt can say What I want to hear too Only earth can say What I want to hear too Want to hear too

Montmartre 04:08
Well she smells like work in her pores, her whole day The hours away and her time now she’s spent It’s been following me around now for several days I want to live in a place where her scent is laid Well i’ve been here before but I can’t remember it well Yes I think i’ve done my best to forget what I did there So you can push me out but i’ll already be gone It's not what I want but I was lost and taken long before then So call when you can just leave it to me I’ve said so much, how can you even believe me I’ve tried so very hard but i’m losing myself In the place where you’re scent is laid In the place where souls are made Would i fall in love with a girl I think is better than me ? She’s young and fun, eyes like an angel And I ask myself because i don’t want to forget I play it back when it haunts the image i made So call when you can just leave it to me I’ve said so much, how can you even believe me I’ve tried so very hard but i’m losing myself In the place where you’re scent is laid In the place where souls are made

Lead The Way 05:23
Count the gold that you hold So you'll know just so you'll know Then count the souls that fill in the spaces Float like stars Like rocks swim in water Hold your body when It get's lost Holy light begins to show repetition Reveal the faces ones you know are living Thirst for war is fuelling liars Hold your body when It get's lost Holy light begins when you let it in Lead the way to water Can' wait to show you, I live with your light Seems to me like the words are in my eyes And etched under my skin Only love can see or read them Hold your body when it get's lost Holy light begins when you let it in Lead the way to water
4.
My legs get lazy and my gut gets tense My eyes don't say what they want to say It's turning back now that turns them grey They're not like they were when you knew them To be the one I know I could I made it fit you like a glove The same old ending I try to push I guess I never learned to be good This Christmas doesn't have any snow No lights inside to make it glow No warm arms to feel your love Now that I'm back where I was You always knew you're way back home and I love you more now that you're gone The things you said mean so much more Now that I'm here all alone All the things you made they live with me They grew inside but I didn't see How they warmed my sleep at night I see cold creeps in now without light This Christmas doesn't have any snow No lights inside to make it glow No warm arms to feel your love Now that I'm back where I was

That hotel stay was too much for you Our bags got too heavy I dug a grave in my lungs for you And you thought I was lazy Don’t try harder ‘cus you know it won’t feel good I’m afraid of what I bought in you Thought I found it too ‘was in a baby That baby lived in our bed one day He’d starve slowly without drinking Don’t try harder ‘cus you know it won’t feel good I’m afraid of what I bought in you Tight hold tight into the rabbit hole Casting shadows in our home It’s all the same to you Tight hold tight or sleep in Outlasting me was the only thing You ran with it ‘till it failed The same is likely to reign again Fighting's fuel to end silence The hit was hard and it fell like rain All this time and I'm still damp The car still feels like It drives me when I can't get to where I've been Don’t try harder ‘cus you know it won’t feel good I’m afraid of what I bought in you Tight hold tight into the rabbit hole Casting shadows in our home It’s all the same to you Tight hold tight or sleep in Tight hold tight it steep this fuckin’ slope Pack your ammo you’re going home It’s all the same to you

Maritime 03:31
Make it through the night Wishing words are all you need instead  So you keep the water tight The force you use will likely caused the leak You dripped so slowly You never noticed out at sea It'll change what you hear and what you say I had lots of time Borrowed it from a girl that once was mine I gave a little space I dug it out of the blood that ran in her eyes They dripped so slowly  She never noticed they got red And  it changed what she saw and what she felt Try it don't drown it When you want to come clean  Try it don't drown it When you need to come clean 
7.
Forest Fires 03:56
Now that the smoke has cleared, change is set
 They think it’d be nice to take a wandering flight One won’t be packing light, thinks they should stay And they should stay, home for a couple more days Maybe before they go, here’s the thing… They’ll slip out the back again Now only rain, water from a plane, can put out the flame Fools led into war
 Outlive the other
 Can’t get close they’ll burn Rest up and learn
 Forest fires flow Close to a game they knew Turned light gold
 And heaven was still a place they would go
 And they will go
 like angels dressed in snow Fools led into war
 Outlive the other
 Can’t get close they’ll burn Rest up and learn
 Forest fires flow Then they’ll remember when They weren’t two
 The fires have burned the space they’d get old They’ll get old
 when one gets tired and folds

Rachel Est. 05:02
Remember a time we reached out and pulled it Broke off the sides made it imperfect Got soft but still felt like I could control it I could run but I was numb Told them to hold off on all their decisions Canceled the date that made them most nervous Drank all the rain that fell from that summer I was numb but I didn't run She held a picture up to let me know Drowned her hopes in a poem Well why can't it be like the light that peeks in her room Make up a list of ones that will love you Scream it from rooftops to scare the imposters I'll just be happy it's your eye I see through I was numb but I didn't run She held a picture up to let me know Drowned her hopes in a poem Well why can't it be like the light that peeks in her room
