If After All
Let's take this one day at a time
No more assumptions
I have no reason
Let's take this one day at a time
No more oblivion
I have no reason
I won't remember
If after all we're doing fine
I'm breathing every single time
I have no reason to be blind
I have no reason to be blind
No more demons
Never ever
If after all of it I haven't learned yet
If after all of it I haven't learned yet
I'll learn it, till I forget
I will always forget
Any way you spin it
I will always forget
Any way you spin it
I will always forget
Any way you spin it
I will always forget
Any way you spin it
Nothing
If I got you in a room
If I got you to hold still
It would probably be too soon
To hold you there against your will
But if I got you in that place
Maybe we'd see ourselves as humans
Because I've given you your space
And it has left me here in ruin
I won't open my mouth again
I won't open my mouth
I won't try to reach out again
I won't try to reach out
If I had another moment
To do what I want to do
I'd say I've got nothing to say
Because I'm done hurting you
And if I had another moment
Maybe we could see it through
I swear I won't try to reach out
Because I've already left you
And if I had another moment
To do what I want to do
I'd say I hope that for your sake
The world is done punishing you
Devil's
Doubt
One silver hair to give you wisdom
Two silver hairs reflect your sadness
I can't imagine you've been eating
But I can see that you've been sleeping
With a heart on your sleeve
And the devil's voice in your head
Stop all that sitting by the window
Don't you forget about the daylight
It's about time you left your bedroom
You picked a side 'cause you were split in two
And now you can leave out
The devil's voice from your head
You are young, tread lightly
Your footsteps are too heavy
In the daylight use your slippers
In the nighttime use your wings
Catch a glimpse of the ocean
When the bathtub overflows
Stroke the fingers of the minute
When the minute hand is slow
And quit carrying that burden
And quit trying to know the story
Give the angel's voice a turn
Give the angel's voice a turn
In My Heart
I'll just be by myself
A little bit of distraction
I can't help but
Feel you in my heart
There's the greatest wealth
Of memories and affection
I can't help but
Feel you in myself
(Don't try, don't try, don't try, don't try)
I will still be me
Don't worry about the anger
It's just because
You can feel me on your sleeve
Don't be afraid of time
We think it's going to harm us
Eventually it'll heal us
In our minds
(Don't try, don't try, don't try, don't try)
In my mind, in my mind, I can't help it
With my heart, with my heart, I can't help you
In my mind, in my mind, I can't help it
With my heart, with my heart, I can't help you
Lullaby
It doesn't make a difference hmm, hmm
If you shot me with your bad words
All of that, I've forgotten
By the end of
By the end of the day
I'll be kissing the ground to know you're okay
Kissing the ground to know you're okay
I won't busy myself hmm, hmm
If you're busy undermining
All the things I had to say
I know it would have been wrong for me to try to stay
It would have been wrong for me to try to stay
And I will love you when the snow goes away
I will love you when the snow goes away
So if you give me your bad words
I'll take them quietly
They show me your pain
Not a reflection of me
Come out, come out wherever you are, my friend
It's safe
Safe
Come out, come out wherever you are, my friend
It's safe
Safe
Come out, come out wherever you are, my friend
It's safe
Safe
Come out, come out wherever you are, my friend
It's safe
Safe
Come out, come out, wherever you are, my friend
It's safe
You can come out now wherever you are
And I will keep away
The Rose
Well I know I was the rose
But now I feel like I'm the thorn
And I can't get enough distance just to
See that I am worn
And if it's evidence enough
Or if it's all been overblown
I'm gonna need some distance
On my own
I'm gonna need some distance
Time alone
It's a shame, it's a shame
My foundation isn't solid
Always cracking underneath me
It's so hard, so unnatural to be
Two people at once;
Does it ever run smoothly
It's a shame, it's a shame
My foundation isn't solid
Always cracking underneath me
It's so hard, so unnatural to be
Two people at once
Does it ever end truly
Does it ever end truly
Does it ever end truly
The Desert
I went into the desert and I missed him
Don't know if it was the mountains
Asking questions
I went into the desert and I held him
Through a muddy creek, he
Was sand pooling in my hands
And every night the desert sang a love song
And inside my languid body was a fight
And every night I hoped that he would come home
But by daylight I knew it wasn't right
The wash is drying up
Underneath the red sunset
And I am a lizard slinking through
The valley of regret
Oh I'm the wild coyote
Yelping at the midnight sky
A lover, forgotten how to love
The sparrow, how to fly
Hollow, hollow when the moon is rising, rising
Lost my footing in the desert canyon
I lost him, and I lost my home
Saw him vanish into the horizon
And there I was, left to be alone
Hollow, hollow when the moon is rising, rising
The wash is drying up
Underneath the red sunset
And I am a lizard slinking through
The valley of regret
Oh I'm the wild coyote
Yelping at the midnight sky
A lover, forgotten how to love
The sparrow, how to fly
The wash is drying up
Underneath the red sunset
And I am a lizard slinking through
The valley of regret
Oh I'm the wild coyote
Yelping at the midnight sky
A lover, forgotten how to love
The sparrow, how to fly
Hollow, hollow when the moon is rising, rising
Playing House
In a town by all the birch trees
Where my love said there'd be fallen leaves
It's a distance we can travel
It involves no parting of the seas
It's a cabin on a lakeside and it's empty
Take the road along the lakeside
Hang a left before the great divide
Hope we get there after nightfall
So we'll have nowhere to wait and hide
Till tomorrow, till tomorrow, it'll look just the same
In the cabin with the birch trees
We'll uncover all our fantasies
It's a distance we can travel
To forget the thickening unease
Let us leave here, let us go there where it's waiting
We will find the path to go there
When we get close, breathe the open air
I'll play momma, you play daddy
And we'll ruin us beyond repair
At the cabin on the lakeside, if we take things too far
Hold on
For a little longer
Hold on
For a little longer
Hold on
For a little longer
Hold on
New Bed
Clean sheets and a shutter I can't close
Where are the lights, excitement is enveloping
Newness is a journey in a new bed
Goodbye old friends and hello strangers
There it is still raining
There it is still raining
Here it's dry
I feel that we will get along just fine
If everything goes the way I have in mind
I feel that we will get along this time
This situation will work out just fine
Shadows that I don't even recognize
Can't guide myself without turning the lights on
Corners I happen to run into
But a steady beating in my heart
It keeps me ready
There it is still raining
There it is still raining
Here it's dry
There it is still raining
There it is still raining
Here it's dry
I feel that we will get along just fine
If everything goes the way I have in mind
I feel that we will get along this time
This situation will work out just fine
If everything goes the way I have in mind
Oh, and I feel that we will get along just fine
When I say
to you Black Lightning
Central Booking
With a trash can full of blood and hair
You had to get yourself out of there
You had to get yourself out of there
With a trash can full of blood and hair
You had to get yourself out of there
You had to get yourself out of there
You found this place but you ain't nowhere
You had to get yourself out of there
You had to get yourself out of there
I'm sorry New York broke you
It cracked your stamina
I think perhaps it woke you
But now you're lost in
Cana-nana-nana-na-da
I'm sorry New York broke you
It cracked your stamina
I think perhaps it woke you
But now you're lost in
Cana-nana-nana-na-da
I'm sorry New York broke you
Now you're anathema
I think that it uncloaked you
And so you're lost in
Cana-nana-nana-na-da
Joshua Snakes
You're like a hot super villain
At the top of your game
I've tried collecting all the evidence
To give you the blame
Making footprints round the railroad
Laying thick the gasoline
I am tied against the tracks but I can't figure out the ending
What will it take to say it's over
When what I want's to rest my head upon your shoulder
What will it take to say I don't think a rescue is in order
You're like a snake in the middle
Of a regular day
There was that time I tried to catch it
But it slithered away
The puzzle piece that's been in hiding
On the east of the street
I want to figure out the picture without spoiling the ending
What will it take to say it's over
When what I want's to rest my head upon your shoulder
What will it take to see the pacing is making me older
I've memorized the shapes in your little window
I've compromised my eyes from my little window
You Dance
Don't be a-a-a-a-a-a-afraid
Don't be a-a-a-a-a-a-afraid
Don't be a-a-a-a-a-a-afraid
Don't be a-a-a-a-a-a-afraid
Don't p-p-p-p-p-p-p-panic
Don't p-p-p-p-p-p-p-panic
Don't p-p-p-p-p-p-p-panic
Don't p-p-p-p-p-p-p-panic
Don't freak ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-out
Don't freak ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-out
Don't freak ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-out
Don't freak ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-out
Measured
You unbuttoned your shirt
And I looked at your heart
Then you showed me your lungs
Yeah you pulled them apart
And I echoed it back
And for what it's worth
Oh I think we've been measured out for pain since birth
We uncovered ourselves
Whispered into the dark
I untangled your words
Yeah I pulled them apart
And you echoed it back
And for what it's worth
Oh I think we've been measured out for pain since birth
Now I'm batting my eye
Starting over again
Why should I go in now
If it didn't work then?
Will we echo it back?
Or would it be worse
Oh I think we've been measured out for pain since birth
Uuu
You with two u's
And a basket of shoes
To fill up with water
Piling in pockets with rocks
And shipping them off to the river
You're throwing on logs
Trying to silence the ones;
The ones that contradict you
Build your fire and watch everyone burn
Is that what you are looking to do
You with two u's
And nothing to lose
You're finding your power
And a band of hyenas
To form her arena
So we must allow her
Piling in pockets with rocks
And shipping them off to the river
Build your fire and watch everyone burn
Is that going to make you feel better
The river runs cold but you are colder
Does it feel good, does it feel right
Does it feel good to feel right
Little Down
Shoot from the waist up
Eyes a little down
Shoot from the waist up
Feel a little down
Just bring your chin up
Give your dignity a bow
Just hold your head up
Keep your silence now
You choose
Started the round up
Can you hear that sound
This is the build-up
They're breaking you down
Keep on your makeup
Eyes a little down
This is your close up
Feel a little...
You choose
Never, never
Don't ever
Don't ever let them
I Try
I looked for certainty in older men
Then I can calculate exactly when
And free up space to live uncertainly
I'd like to think it means a lot to me
I look for peace when I can take the time
Then I recall the moments that are mine
But often I forget to get offline
And often I've forgotten just to be here
Just to be here
Here
Just to be here
Here
Here
I try to find a way to understand
When I have lost the legs on which I stand
And I am reaching for a holding hand
The hands are reaching back so quietly
I tried to find a way to walk along
When I'm pretending that I'm sure I'm wrong
Pretending that we all continue on
And in the ground there's really nobody
How do we
How do we
How do we
How do we
It's
Not Real
I've got all my shame
To keep me warm
No one's gonna die
It's not real if I forget it
It's not real if I forget it
It's not real if I forget it
It's not real if I forget it
Crazy Ok
Don't leave me, I'm crazy, ok
Don't leave me, I'm crazy, ok
And in the evening, when I tell you
What I've done all day
Don't leave me, I'm crazy ok
Don't leave me, I'm crazy, ok
Don't leave me, I'm crazy, ok
And in the morning, when you find out
That I've been away
Don't leave me, I'm crazy ok
Cause I've been staying up late
Trying to pull it all together
And I don't know what to do
And I don't know whether
I got lucky meeting you
Or it's just another reason to feel
Crazy, don't leave me, ok
Don't leave me, I'm crazy, ok
Don't leave me, I'm crazy, ok
And in the evening, when I tell you
What I've done all day
Don't leave me, I'm crazy ok
Don't leave me, I'm crazy, ok
Don't leave me, I'm crazy, ok
And in the morning, when you find out
That I've been away
Don't leave me, I'm crazy ok
Anything glass
Terrible hands
I've got these terrible hands
We've got these terrible plans
Are we made of plastic or of stone
End of planet, end of coppertone
Are we made of plastic or of stone
End of planet, end of coppertone
Are we still together on our own
Aegean blue
Do what you do best
Make me a river I can run through
Follow it up with a circle back
And an I-O-U
Who will do better
The one with the candle or the paddle?
Tell me the legend of the wax-winged man
In Aegean blue
You can drag me to water
But you cannot make me drink
All of the rivers are the same from here
In the candle's hue
Lose at this battle
Sink in the water with the wax wings
Hadеs elated to light our way
What a perfеct view
Keep me kept out of the river, of the river
I was drowning there for longer, there for longer
Keep me kept out of the river, of the river
I was drowning there for longer, there for longer
Enough
I don't think that what I do is enough
But maybe it's enough
I don't think that what I do is enough
But maybe it's enough
I don't know what it means to
(We) try a little harder
I don't know what it means to
(We) fall a little better
I don't know what it means
But I can't seem to wait
We'll call it a trial of tall ambition
I don't think that what we want is finite
But maybe that's alright
I don't think that ego is oversight
But baby that's alright
I don't know what it means to
(We) try a little harder
I don't know what it means to
(We) fall a little better
I don't know what it means
But I can't seem to wait
We'll call it a trial of tall ambition
I don't know what it means to
I don't know what it means to
I don't know what it means to
It's
true we've been happier
It's true we've been happier
In our lives
It's true we've been happier
It's true we've been happier
With our lies
It's true we've been happier
Come with me you'll remember
Do you know the words
I do
Do do do do do
It's true we've been happier
In our eyes
It's true we've been happier
It's true we've been happier
On revise
It's true we've been happier
Jazz song
The words that fail me I hail them my king
It's a blessing
Did you know heat breeds aggression
A system, a lesson not addressing
You wake up every day thinking about
Thinking about
Oh endebtor
Are you enjoying the weather
You wake up every day thinking about
Thinking about
You wake up every day thinking about dying
Wake up every day thinking about dying
If we'd just remember we'd be holding hands and trying
I weighed it up
I waited up
I weighed it up
In my private place
I was awake
I was awake
The window rattling
Hallway always creaking, it's
Too hot for sheets
Too dark for sleep
For me
But no one will see
Keeping it all for me
Keep it for me, for me
The wood from
the sail
Burn the wood from the sail
Set it all ablaze
Gonna have to celebrate
Before the end of days
Locate the needle from the hay
We're gonna need the mending
When all the bullshit floats away
We'll sew a happy ending
But when the woman says it's time
When all the wood is torched
We've done enough during our stay
To pack it out and float away
A pair of
ragged claws
Though I am a sucker for flattery
It just doesn't mean enough to me
To put myself through constant misery
Though i'm a proponent of tragedy
It won't pair too well with reality
Leave it to shakespeare theatricality
How about that wonderful industry
The electricity it has given me
And electro-hypersensitivity
If you know me you'd know that i'd rather be
Splayed across the floor of the silent sea
Waving, taking oranges with tea
I know, I know
I know, I know
It's alright
Wise mind
I thought I knew you
But I didn't know that you knew
Me best
What was written on a page on the pavement
Never would have guessed
And when I knew it
Well, I didn't know that you knew the rest
And it's the wise mind oh it is the wise mind
It's a palimpsest
Maybe it's the right time
I was leaning left, I was leaning right
Right in front of my eye, right in between the lines I
Landed in the white
When love and logic walk together
In the moonlight
Oh it's the wise mind oh it is the wise mind
Cradling the night
Maybe it's the right time
Turning round the right time, for wise mind
Maybe it's the wise mind
Non Albums Tracks
12 o'clock
(Goodbye Volcano High OST)
All the things I didn't do
I guess its over
Took my time to get it all worked out
Made my mind up, no more doubt
At 12 o'clock i'll write a manifesto, it's a way to go
And maybe they will find my bones and maybe they will know
I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to go away
It's just the blinking of an eye the culmination of today
All the things I didn't do I guess it's over
All the things I didn't do I guess it's over
All the things I didn't do I guess it's over
All the things I didn't do I guess it's over
Begin Again
(Goodbye Volcano High OST)
We never climbed
We never fell
We scaled our way
Out of this water well
Oh, I begin again
Oh, can you remember when
A summer day was a waiting game
Whatever happens to me now
It doesn’t matter anyhow, no
I lose myself but I remain
Headed for all the same
Can't
Get Out
(Goodbye Volcano High OST)
They say the road to feel
Is to find the path to speak it out
Can't get out, can't get out
Can't get out from the quiet
Can't get out, can't get out
Can't get but if I could just get close to you
Driving down the pavement of my mind
We're parallel but Im so far behind
Can't get out, I cant get out, I can't get out
Can't get out, can't get out
Can't get out from my quiet
Can't get out, can't get out
Can't get but if I could just get close to you
Close to you
Constellations
(Goodbye Volcano High OST)
When it's coming to an end
Then why hold back
Why save it for yourself
When you have so much to tell
It's too late now anyway
So when you feel you have something to say
Why save it for yourself
Don't let those you love get away
This time there won't be another day
And now I know This is the only way
And when we go
You can see it in the constellation
It spells our legacy above
There was love
There will always be love
You can see it in the constellation
It spells our legacy above
There was love
There will always be love
Don't
Call
(Goodbye Volcano High OST)
Call before Im gone cause you want to
Won’t need another home
'Cause I won’t go back (I won't go back)
Call before Im gone cause I want you to
Oh drive me all the way never take me back
Won’t you fly me all the way
'Cause I won’t go back (no I want to)
Don’t call on me
Don’t call on me
Don’t call on me Away, and call on me
'Cause I won’t go back
'Cause I won’t, don’t call on me
Don’t call on me
Don’t call on me
Don’t call on me
Don’t call on me
Don’t call on me
'Cause I won’t go back
Going Away
(Goodbye Volcano High OST)
Took my time to take it easy
Took my time to make it hard
First to be and last to go
Find myself in there alone
And when I go I, see my life in years
And when I go I..
Don't wake me up I'm going away
Don't wake me up I'm gonna stay away...
Away, Away, Away
Don't wake me/Not going to stay
I'm going away
I'm going away
I'm going away
I'm going away
Take my mind to make it easy
Take my mind to make it hard
First to be and last to go
Find myself in there alone
I'm going away
I'm going away
I'm going away
I'm going away
I'm going away
Preoccupy
I have somewhere to go today, so early in the morning
The whispers and the recklessness can wait for me at home
They say health is the first thing to be careful not to lose
But it's early in the morning, I'm finding the unknown
Preoccupy me, darling, when are you coming back
In search of something certain, my eyes are going black
My head turning against me reminds me of myself
Preoccupy me, darling, I'm crying out for help
Crying out for help
Pretty Heroes
(Goodbye Volcano High OST)
We won't sit around and let the world go by
We're gonna fly around the big, black sky tonight
And when the fire falls from on high,
We can be the pretty heroes if we try, tonight
We're gonna take a stand, we won't comply
Using the powers love will ossify tonight, tonight
We're never gonna grow up
Never gonna run out of time, tonight
If you want to love, love
We're not gonna see the end
No we're not gonna see the end
Never gonna see the end ah
If you want to
We're not gonna see the end
No we're not gonna see the end
never gonna see the end ah
Love
We can be the pretty heroes if we try
We can, we can, we can be the pretty heroes if we try
If you want to
Reunion
(Goodbye Volcano High OST)
Was it worth it all
Was it worth it all
Was it worth it all
Was it worth it all
Back seat baby with the wind whipped high
When we said goodbye
Got my eyes up baby with the pulling tide
I did not know why
I had my eyes up looking for a flag or a sign
Just a sunset sigh
Was it worth it all
Was it worth it all
Now we’re back here baby never be alone
We know better baby than be on our own
In this inferno
Oh, wanna catch you up high
'Cause I see you are
See you are my satellite
Oh, wanna see your white light
Oh, I wanna be, wanna be with you tonight
Maybe
We’ll never be apart
I never want to be apart again
Never be alone
Oh, wanna catch you up high
'Cause I see you are
See you are my satellite
Oh, wanna catch your white light
Oh I wanna be, wanna be with you tonight
Oh, wanna see you right now
Was it worth it all
Worth it all somehow
I got my eyes up baby and I need it now
Ridiculous Landscapes
(Fred Thomas Feat. Common Holly)
January's colors curdle fast
Eclipsed by their own fading as the world changes to glass
The Sunday morning method acting class
In fallout shelter basements always bracing for the blast
Fifteen years of lessons and debris
Accumulated everywhere but meant nothing to me
One more sour glow, another sickly winter sunset
Just another voice explaining this is all you get to be
I was trudging through some ridiculous landscapes
Straining my reach for each slippery hand
I had long ago used up all of my recklessness
I just wanted someplace to land
There's a poison that the past just can't contain
I heard those two got married to each other
That's so strange
I hope it was just a perfect day
I hope they got some money and I hope that they both changed
I was still unstable and still on tour
Still slightly drunk and sleeping fully clothed on someone's floor
Two separate pale perspectives pitying each other probably
But when I heard that, something sick inside of me was cured
I heard a voice somewhere tell me to start running
In any direction at full speed
There was no sweetness, sadness, anger, regret or resentment
Just blinding, utter, total relief
The Moon
Sometimes, when my throat is empty
I look at the moon, thinking, "Isn't that so pretty?"
'Cause I know I'll be home soon
And when I'm fading quickly, the longest day is done
What I have placed to get to, for my work has only just begun
And guarding me from elegantly decomposing
Is the silver quiet thought that someplace else you've chosen
That same empty moment to watch the moon with me
That same frozen shadow while you're waiting patiently
And I will look out above me, and I'll think "Isn't that pretty?"
Isn't that so pretty
'Cause I know I'll be home soon
So we can share the moon
Isn't that so pretty
'Cause I know I'll be home soon
So we can share the moon
Moon
Won't
Forget
(Goodbye Volcano High OST)
Do you understand what it meant to me
When you waltzed in here so carelessly
And said you know you’re special
And said I know you’re good
What about all the lives we led
What about all the things we’ve said
No, I won’t forget
No, I won’t forget
No, I won’t forget
No, I won’t forget
No, I won’t forget
No, I won’t forget
No, I won’t forget
No, I won’t forget
No I won’t
