Fall/Fade

Fall along the way
Scene fading out
Fall along the way
You’re fading in the light now
All right now
You’re fading on the sidelines
Of my life now
Fading and you’re far beyond the waves
Love
How could a wave break so small?
How could you not say anything at all?
Fade into the lights now
Fade right out and
Stay until you find ground
Until the sound is
Fading, fading, fading
Fade into the lights now
Fade right out and
Stay until you find ground
Until the sound is
Fading, fading, fading
Fall on the way
Fading with the light now
It’s all right now
You’re fading from my sight now
Fall right down
Fading and you’re gone
And I’m on my way
Now that all the weight has shed
Now you wasted years but won’t admit a thing you said
Fade into the lights now
Fade right out and
Stay until you find ground
Until the sound is
Fading, fading, fading
Fade into the lights now
Fade right out and
Stay until you find ground
Until the sound is
Fading, fading, fading

So Many Reasons
03:50
|

So many reasons I was not there for you
So many reasons I would always bury the truth
So many reasons I could not care for you, mmhmm
So many reasons I was not there for you
So many reasons I would always bury the truth
So many reasons I could not care for you
And me
Always running from you and me
Perspective melting away
I believed you were my warm gun
Yeah the right one
Top down driving away
Running from a resignation
A dislocation
Words never said to me
Waiting around for you to explain these things
Another life she might have said
In my head
So many reasons I was not there for you
So many reasons I would always bury the truth
So many reasons I could not care for you
And me
Always running from you and me
Deception gets in the way
Of intention, your revenge love
I can still see the day
The day of retraction
A day she says
So many reasons I was not there for you
So many reasons I would always bury the truth
So many reasons I could not care for you
And me
Always running from you and me
So many reasons I was not there for you
So many reasons I would always bury the truth
So many reasons I could not care for you
And me
Always running from you and me
You, you’re always running from you
You were always running from me, yeah
You, you’re always running from you and me

Don't Follow
03:23
|

|
What’s going on, what’s going on?
Where’s your head?
What’s going on, what’s going on?
Cause tonight I am alone
And so are you
So what’s wrong with being alone together too?
What’s going on, what’s going on?
Sign your name
I am revealed
You shop for fires behind your house
I don’t follow
I’m gonna stay in, fuck going out
You don’t follow
What’s going on, what’s going on?
Am I in your head?
Keep running off when I turn it on
But tonight we are alone
Just us two
Soft and safe in your hair, lying there with you
What’s going on, what’s going on?
Sign your name
You shop for fires behind your house
I don’t follow
I’m gonna stay in, fuck going out
Don’t get too lost in the woods tonight
Your lips on mine or cigarettes
Start again tomorrow
You shop for fires behind your house
I don’t follow
I’m gonna stay in, fuck going out
You don’t follow
You don’t follow
(Follow, follow)
You shop for fires behind your house
I don’t follow
I’m gonna stay in, fuck going out
Don’t get too lost in the woods tonight
Your lips on mine or cigarettes
Start again tomorrow
Start again tomorrow

As Far As The Moon
03:49
|
|||
|
So what else is left here that’s new?
The calm is taming
My fighting and judgement are through
You were always waiting
Lately I’ve been growing up
You bomb me back down
Lay on the floor in the dust
With the bond we’ve found and
Oh, just let me go away now
As high and as far as the moon
What’s in the wood of this house?
Or the endless outdoors?
Play around like we’ve figured it out
Or Awake once more and
Oh, just let me go away now
As high and as far as the moon
Oh, just let me go away now
Somewhere outside of this room
Oh, just let me go away now
Oh, just let me go away...

I Was Wrong
04:02
|
|||
|
What’s the answer with you
And are you really so confused?
You were always blowing out the candle
Won’t you realize
That all your trials were so contrived?
A distant scar that is worn ornamental
You’re aware of what you need
But disguise yourself as a victim of me
I was wrong
I was wrong
The coldness in your eyes
A reputation on the line
What will they all think of your indiscretions?
Ostentation, how you bleed
Define your friends as the enemy
I was wrong
To think at all
I would not lose you
I was wrong
To love at all
Or ever choose you
I was in the lonely throes of life
And thought you were the answer
I was wrong
I was wrong
You’re aware of what you need
But define yourself as a victim of me
I was wrong
To think at all
That I would not lose you
I was wrong
To love at all
How do I prove it?
I was in the lonely throes of life
And thought you were the answer
I was wrong
I was wrong
I was wrong, yeah

Oceans
04:02
|
|||
|
You fear the ocean like a holy war
The sea’s on fire again
Breaking from the story never saying more
Symptoms of the sin
The sun above won’t ever meet your skin
Resigned to your old room
The twisting morphing tales that you tell
Shadow and consume
This house was meant for you and me to share
A slate now wiped clean
Sun blinds through the windows casting all my doubt
On the water reflecting
You fear the ocean you fear everything
You fear your own resolve
You’ll never know these people or this place
You’ll never know this song
And the waves at my back
And the smiles that you lack
And these memories intact
And dear friends all at my back
Someday, I’ll wait
Someday, I’ll wait
Someday, I’ll wait
Someday, I’ll wait
For a better sign
For a brighter time
There’s always time

Weird Summer
04:04
|
|||
|
I came home
Thought that you must be dead
My worried mind was racing
But you were just me replacing
We used to have the same friends
Now I have the same friends
I suppose
Our patterned past prophetic
You’d go and I’d forget it
Now the highway’s looking better tasting
You came off of the mountain more frustrated
Just to die alone
We’re going to die alone
And even if everything’s a fall from grace
It’s harder to understand every few days
And even if everything falls in its place
We’ve had a real weird summer
Debts I owed
Twisted up around my neck
Followers you tricked and baited
But only your family ate it
We were digging in and getting older
I was growing up, but you were turning colder
Just to die alone
We’re going to die alone
And even if everything’s a fall from grace
It’s harder to understand every few days
And even if everything falls in its place
We’ve had a real weird summer
She was crying as foreplay
Jill’s disappearing act
Send regards to Juno
I’m never coming back
And even if everything’s a fall from grace
It’s harder to understand every few days
And even if everything falls in its place
We’ve had a real weird summer

Come Around
03:39
|
|||
|
Someday love will find you
Right back where it wants to
I know this could be the start of it
A day at a time, something happens
After a while you’ll find you’re back in now
I know this could be the start of what I needed
I know this could be the way out
Of this ride, something I’ve been
Clung too tight, then something happens now
Either way, either way
Not gonna wait here for you
Not gonna wait til it’s too late to turn around
I was wrong, now I’m alone
But not gonna break before you
Ask me if I’d like to come around
Would you like to come around
Someday light will find you
Right here where I lost you
I know this could be by design
One long lie, something happened
Give it a try, I’ve decided now
Something I’ve been looking for somehow, yeah
I could always heal my trust somehow, yeah
Something I’ve been missing here somehow
And now, and now
There’s no way to turn back
To turn back now
Either way, either way
Not gonna wait here for you
Not gonna wait til it’s too late to turn around
I was wrong, now I’m alone
But not gonna break before you
Ask me if I’d like to come around
It’s too late to come around
It’s too late to come back now
It’s too late but
I’ll be fine out here on my own somehow

Rotting On The Vine
03:13
|
|||
|
Do you ever lie?
Do you ever look the other way?
Warring with a smile
With secrets and denials
Will I ever cry?
Will I ever let go of what’s left?
I was uninspired by love
I was under the wire
Rotting on the vine
And I paced the house
Plotting how to die
And I’ve spent the hours, turning sour
Looking through my mind
For any sign that I’ve been in denial
Did you ever lie?

The Lonely Hours
04:20
|
|||
|
There’s a space in the corner
There’s a knot in my chest
There’s no noise in the backroom
Now there’s more time for rest
Let go, let go
There’s no streaks on the mirror
But there’s more weight in my head
Shadows of frames all down the hall
Just memories of the dead and gone
Fading dimly all alone
When you’re around there’s no light here
Let it end
There’s a darkness inside of you
I didn’t quite understand
Now you’re with me in nightmares
Reaching out for my hand, then gone
Fading dimly all along
When you’re around there’s no light here
Some way out of it
Some way out of it
Some way out of the lonely hours
Will you ask for forgiveness?
Or finally end it instead?
Your shadow’s walking through the hall
My memory of the dead and gone
I’ll keep searching on my own
For some way out of it
Some way out of it
Some way out of the lonely hours
