Only Oceans

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

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

My Name Is December
03:47
|

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

Hôtel Des Arts

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

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

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.

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
