I Remain
04:15
|

|
I'm wearing the same clothes every single day
Vibrant colours all around me while I fade and fade and fade
I've been here so long I've made my home
In the space between the lines of monochrome
Oh, all this time I'm taking
I feel like everything is changing but I, I still feel the same
and I feel like memories are aging but I, I still feel the pain
Although I try to break old ties, I remain, I remain, I remain
The sunlight is clean but it's wasted on my face
and every good thing I create, I erase, erase, erase
I've been here so long I've been crossed out
Like the right answer you had but gave to doubt
Oh, all this time I'm taking
I feel like everything is changing but I, I still feel the same
and I feel like memories are aging but I, I still feel the pain
Although I try to break old ties, I remain, I remain, I remain
And time, isn't what I need
No, time, it isn't what I need
I just need to feel alive again, again
I feel like everything is changing but I, I still feel the same
and I feel like memories are aging but I, I still feel the pain
Although I try to break old ties, I remain, I remain, I remain

Cedar + Fir
04:13
|

|
I know things just don't go back to how they were...
I know at the game of love I'm still an amateur
Why did you pick me from the ground, I'm green I'm still growing
In the air, I'll drown
I think it's time you let me down
You'll find you are always on my mind
For me you sing but you are meant for bigger things
So I can't long for how we were
cedar and fir, cedar and fir
You know you don't have to grow just where you're planted
Branch out, don't take this heart you've got for granted
Why do you keep me around? I can't go where you're going
I can't live on your cloud
I think it's time you let me down
You'll find you were always on my mind
For me you sing but you are meant for bigger things
So I can't long for how we were
cedar and fir, cedar and fir

Modern Day Maestro
03:52
|
|||
|
The shots I took were overexposed
The moments were lost, the images cold
Down to the last drop of youth
The fountain's a mountain of 90 proof
A baton in hand
I'm calling the tune
The ballad of loving the life I wish I knew
Down to the wire
Everyone's plugged in
The situation's dire
Nobody can win
So who am I to make believe
It's all part of the show
Don't you know everyone is a modern day maestro
Go, strike a pose
You're dying to know
Who's looking at you
I sit idly by
Breathing in the smoke
They're blowing through filters
Have another toke
Down on my luck
It's never enough
I'm hoping any moment they'll call my bluff
So who am I to make believe
You want to be better than every sad soul you see
Like your insecurities look better on me

Drowning
03:58
|
|||
|
Your hands, my breath, things I can't hold
For if I do, I'll lose control
My heart, a victim of regret
Won't do what's right, it beats on the left
It's every whisper down my spine, every line it traces back to you, to you,
Ooh
Tell me a lie, tell me everything
that I want to hear
Say you'll stay by me
Tell me a lie, tell me anything
I shouldn't be here
But something inside of me
Goes "hold my hand, I'm drowning"
With each mistake, we break the wall
We give to take, we live to fall
and I'm just a pawn
I'm played like a bet
although I don't quite know this yet
It's every whisper down my spine, every line it traces back to you, to you,
Ooh
Tell me a lie, tell me everything
that I want to hear
Say you'll stay by me
Tell me a lie, tell me anything
I shouldn't be here
But something inside of me
Goes "hold my hand, I'm drowning"

Sweet Spot
03:30
|
|||
|
We were hanging by a thread
Like a paper moon
Nothing moves me no more
Like you used to do
I'm heading south, for we look to the past with candy in our mouths
with candy in our mouths
Ooooh
In the shade and on the rocks
I came across a moment of peace
A sweet spot
I took it in and out again
Passing ephemeral awakening
Hey, why not?
So come what will
We're floating halcyon still
Looking up, cause love won't leave you down
Ooh
A galaxy of fireflies
Guides me past the marbled riverside
In the moonlight
Reflecting on the water black
Turning all my faults and all I lack
Into nothing
So come what will
We're floating halcyon still
Looking up, cause love won't leave you down
And the sweetness melts away just when I start to feel okay
I know the drill off by heart but it's still tearing me apart
I want to, I want to, I want to feel whole
Oooh
In the shade and on the rocks
I came across a moment of peace
A sweet spot
So come what will
We're floating halcyon still, looking up cause love won't leave you down.

The Salt
03:04
|
|||
|
Oooh my hands are shaking
Now that my eyes are finally drying out, drying out
Oooh, my knees are shaking
Now that we're standing on solid ground, on solid ground
Cause when you lay your head on me
Honestly I often feel at fault
I'm inclined to blink, but I'm learning how to see through the salt
Oooh my voice is breaking out
Is my message broadcast clear as day? as clear as day
Cause when you lay your head on me
Honestly I often feel at fault
I'm inclined to blink, but I'm learning how to see through the salt
Oh yesterday was harder than I ever thought it'd be
Oh so it goes, we may lose a day to gain eternity
Cause when you lay your head on me
Honestly I often feel at fault
I'm inclined to blink, but I'm learning how to see through the salt
Oh I feel at fault
But I'm learning how to see
I'm learning how to see through the salt

Something Blue
04:14
|
|||
|
something old, these precious stones
something new, this dress in ivory tone
I'll wear for you
something borrowed, more money
something blue, these cold feet
they walk to you
As we go along
as sure as the dawn
We'll wonder if we are wrong
but something, ooh something keeps this going strong
something old, like your soul
something new, this exciting role
I fell into
something borrowed, this life I lead
something blue, these cold feet
they walk with you
As we go along
as sure as the dawn
We'll wonder if we are wrong
but something, ooh something keeps this going strong
It keeps us going strong
ooh
it keeps us going strong
hoo hoo
it keeps us going strong
ahhh
it keeps us holding on
As we go along
as sure as the dawn
We'll wonder if we are wrong
but something, ooh something keeps this going strong

Rose Coloured Hue
04:22
|
|||
|
everything I was
everything I was living
I saw through a rose coloured hue
from truth I looked away
the needle ran deeper and skewered my stay
rush of blood warm to the touch
I'm afraid of feeling too much
I'm so far from being okay
only destruction remains
so in love, so I paint the world red
so in love, so I stain the water red
everything I had
everything I was given
it kept me from reality
there was never a you and me
I'm so far from being okay
Only destruction remains
so in love
so I paint the world
red
so in love
so I stain the water red
is the worst still ahead?
is the worst still ahead?
is the worst still ahead?
is the worst still ahead?
is the worst still ahead?
is the worst still ahead?
(devastation)

Clotho
03:30

once I saw my fate, Thread & Tape, Thread & Tape
Clotho beauty bronze you knew all along
I don't belong
but you're so inviting
pulling me with invisible thread
draping the shroud that falls on everyone's head
once I used your shears, to cut off the years, to cut off the years
Clotho beauty bronze, just cut me loose
For I don't belong
you're so inviting
pulling me with invisible thread
stitching me into the fabric of all that is dead
so loose at the seams, you pulled me apart, you pulled me apart
Clotho come fix me
stitch up my heart, stitch up my heart
you're so inviting
pulling me with invisible thread
draping the shroud that falls on everyone's head
