Paint chipping off the door
Peeling walls
Crumbling floor
And a hollow hall
They say 'breathe in the road'
They say 'lighten your load'
You cry because the lock broke
We blocked out the world around us
In our hearts in our hearts we're
Humming our lonely song
Silent sound lingered between us
In our hearts in our hearts we're
Humming our lonely song
The flag is lowered down
And it's wrapped
Round your mouth
So that laughter sticks
They say 'breathe in the road'
They say 'lighten your load'
You cry because the lock broke
We blocked out the world around us
In our hearts in our hearts we're
Humming our lonely song
Silent sound lingered between us
In our hearts in our hearts we're
Humming our lonely song

Open up your door
Spread out your arms
Go and forget with your loved ones and neighbors
Smile at the stranger who never left your side
Here's the new world
Oh purple night skies of my childhood
As I lay in the grass and just stared
at the heavens wondering
It comes in the night
It is there with you
Unexpected visitor in the darkness
You are much too fearless
They can't know true guilt
Welcome the new world
Oh purple night skies of my childhood
As I lay in the grass and just stared
at the heavens wondering

I listened to rock music
Only from the '50s
They threw me on the floor
When I got too shifty
There was a river beside my house
It ran red and orange
And the fish in it ate the toes
Of my closest friends
Then they turned into versions of us
And they lived our lives
But they were better at mathematics
They wore our gloves and our polka shoes
And they played guitar
And our mothers loved them
More than they loved us
And the fish wrote us letters
Stamping them with symbols of Moscow before the war
I listened to rock music
Only from the '50s
They threw me on the floor
When I got too shifty
In our free time we knit sweaters
Made of old seashells
But they were for the runway
Never for ourselves
And they sliced at our fleshy fins
Telling us that we would never have those perfect bodies
But nothing lasts forever
Neither did their reign
Because all store-bought fish must die
Within forty days
On that dark maroon couch they lie
Bleeding for the orange and red river just outside
I listened to rock music
Only from the '50s
They threw me on the floor
When I got too shifty

Grey Eyes

When we were kids
With the sunburnt noses
While the spring decomposes
Sticky hands
Hair that tangled in the wind
It was ours, and it was innocent
Bring down the noise of what's real
I'll ignore all that I feel
Eyes are grey, but that's okay
Clouded with what they conceal
Measured thoughts that you feed
Keep in mind that they are free
Wicker cage of the age that they had been
A broken door
A lock and key
Beyond is the pine you climbed with me
A comet in the sky
We tried to grab hold
But it flew past our hands
And grew too cold
We sat alone
On a bench
Throwing wishes in a well
In no-depth water
In the woods secrets hold
In the woods we grew too old
Bring down the noise of what's real
I'll ignore all that I feel
Eyes are grey, but that's okay
Clouded with what they conceal
Measured thoughts that you feed
Keep in mind that they are free
Wicker cage of the age that they had been

I went outside today
The first time in a couple years
Then I saw car and went back in
It's not that I don't like cars
They just usually hold people and I don't like people
Or other things that talk and breathe
But I love my movies and I love my cat
And I love the pineapple smoothies that I make when I feel fat
Oh, it's a beautiful day
In my attic where the sunlight barely seeps in
I think I'll lie and play
The ukulele but I'll never sing
I went outside today
The first time in a thousand years
All of the trees were grey and old
It's not that I wanted to leave
In fact 'Friends' reruns were on TV
But I just couldn't stand the mold
But I love my movies and I love my cat
And I love the pineapple smoothies that I make when I feel fat
Oh, it's a beautiful day
In my attic where the sunlight barely seeps in
I think I'll lie and play
The ukulele but I'll never sing
But I love my movies and I love my cat
And I love the pineapple smoothies
That I make when I feel fat
Oh, it's a beautiful day
In my attic where the sunlight barely seeps in
I think I'll lie and play
The ukulele but I'll never sing

Don't be afraid it's okay to be this way
Sometimes it seeps through and you bite your teeth and
Swallow it, it burns your lungs
Blazing a thousand suns
Charring your crumbling heart to pieces
Sparks come and die away
Grin, but you have to pay
Pockets of broken days
Wish it away, wish it away
Pull at a splintered thread
Trace it until it's red
Raw in the glare of day
Wish it away, wish it away
Rub it to the bone
You're in control
Scared on your way home
You're in control
Your weight in gold
Dragging on your bones
But still you throw the stone
Lace back up your soul
You're too whole to be afraid
It's not okay to be this way
When you want to scream and tear at your face
Cold whispers that swallow your ears
Harden your boiling tears
You are the human and they are the fear
Rub it to the bone
You're in control
Scared on your way home
You're in control
Your weight in gold
Dragging on your bones
But still you throw the stone
Lace back up your soul

Chalk smoke
Rubble made of bones
Swelled mouth
Singing for the war zone
This is his routine
Mechanics of a dream
Torn shorts and a foreign scheme
New smoke
Fresh ancestral bones
Wrap them in your shirt
And go
Stubborn devotion
to blind emotion
Vision is clouded
Passion is clear
Oh, the sunrise
On his eyes
Tells of the hunger
In his dry tear
Quick wrists, caught between the wires
Careful, everything's a time bomb
This is his routine
A bitter tongue machine
Red rocks still obscure the green
New smoke
Fresh ancestral bones
Wrap them in your shirt
And go
Stubborn devotion
to blind emotion
Vision is clouded
Passion is clear
Oh, the sunrise
On his eyes
Tells of the hunger
In his dry tear

Turn on the light
You're not the bird food
You're rotting
Smother your blight
Tell me you're sorry
So sorry
Stop, look at me just this once
It's the fix
Sell the mood
Flower with no use
Dance with your arms
Suffer the black lips
They're rotting
Your strange charms
Can't cure their cracked hips
Sorry
Stop, look at me just this once
It's the fix
Sell the mood
Flower with no use
Eat the dirt
Hurt is no excuse
Stop, you're a lie
Just this once
Nothing's changed
Sell the mood
Flower with no use

In lieu of daylight
I rise, I settle in the blackest of hours
In wake of the world
Alone in the darkness
Cast in deep shadow
