Keep the lights down I'm not up
from womb to world with eyes closed shut
new sounds find my paper skin
the day begins and they seep in
so get out and walk around
my little town, and see
the changes in the trees
as seasons breath, I'll be
against the grain I'll feel alone but confident
our movements take us home, again
lets be quiet hear the storm
rain hits houses, eyes
of festive lights in wintertime
and I'm dying to cry, but can't
for the life of me I've tried
so come out and walk around
my little town and see
the changes in the trees
as seasons breath, I'll be
against the grain I'll feel alone but confident
our movements take us home, again
keep the lights down I'm still stuck
but one day I'll be strong enough
to have lived and learned a quiet life
and die surrounded by the ones I love
so get out and walk around
my little town, and see
the changes in the trees
as seasons breath, I'll be
against the grain I'll feel alone but confident
our movements take us home, again

burning hot for a moment
baby we're better on ice
between love and loathing
this is paradise
your expressions are faceless
mine are edges and angles apart
before for a second, you"re ageless
Heart to Heart
(Heart to Heart)
I've tried to keep the rain off my brain
with these tarps and tents, again
I've tried to keep your storm off my shoulders
be stronger and bolder
I want you to stay
but if you stay I won't sleep
if you go I'll hold on to all the possibilities
Come on and fight me
Saturn's in the sky tonight
I never knew you had the heart to call it off
Come and fight me
Saturn's in the sky tonight
I never knew you'd have the heart
I've tried to keep the rain off this theme
of my hopes and dreams, again
I've tried to keep my head on my shoulders
be wiser and older
I want you to stay
but if you stay I wont sleep
if you go Ill lose hold of all my sensibility
Come on and fight me
Saturn's in the sky tonight
I never knew you had the heart to call tonight
Come on and fight me
Saturn's in the sky tonight
I never knew you had the hearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt
(group shout)

Fuck You I'm the Sun

Lets get to the bottom of it all
where the water's always cold
makes me shiver in my deep sleep
we'll get there in time
you've got a lot on your mind so
Get cozy bleach blonde peach
The suns a dream and we're drying out
Get warm in the tropical heat
We're in a dream and we're laying down
daily use on a busy week in may
feeling sleepy in a way
lets go swimming in this dream sea
we'll get there in time
you've got a lot on your mind so
Get cozy bleach blonde peach
The suns a dream and we're drying out
Get warm in the tropical heat
We're in a dream and we're laying down
oh
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Sober Up

you're so quick to judge
that temperament is so unjust I
wonder when you'll ever feel happiness
or understand I'm not the only who hopes for this
I'll just bury every memory I had
in an unmarked grave and I'll leave
flowers every spring and by the
fall I'll hope that they've all died away
cause I know you would do the same
I never sobered up
you're still in the bottom of my cup
I looked up to you and you we're
starlight through the water I was
stuck here at your ocean floor to view
make yourself worry
I'm tied to the past
and present hurry
cause I don't want this to
last too long
no I'm not that strong at all
but everyone will drag you down
and hope you break their fall
oh please keep me grounded
when this storm breaks out
those seeds we planted
we're nurtured by the pain of letting go
reap the anger that you sew
stitch the love that you bestowed
to someone else's fading afterglow
I never sobered up
you're still in the bottom of my cup
I looked up to you and you were
starlight through the water I was
stuck here at your ocean floor to view
I never sobered up
I just want you to know that
I just want you to know
I never sobered up
I just want you to know that
I just want you to know

carry me sweet sympathy
to the places in the books I read
think hard
but quietly
biding time between the breaths you breathe
I still can't hear her voice
I'm spinning out but resting now
I wanna reflect, but I cant I guess
I gotta chock it up to pure excess
we were strong
we were
better than ever
remember the weather
she wore that night
so well
carry me sweet sympathy
to the places in the books I read
sleep well
and vividly
recall the times just
you and me
