circles

|
running circles around the life you left
running circles around the life you thought you would forget
but now, you see
that you buried all your hopes and dreams
they are surfacing
they are surfacing
running circles around the sleep that you didn't get
running circles around the fact it hasn't hit you yet
but soon, you'll see
your insanity will be set free
it is surfacing
it is surfacing

pattern
04:45

if it's so different why does it look the same?
watching things unfold
this time on the other side of the frame
who drew the lines?
were they meant to be crossed
within the patterns you can still feel lost
hiding away in a well lit cave
patterns collide of the music we once played
when it's all said and done
will the ground you stand on
be turned to ash
stale smoke of the past
will eyes turn ahead
will the fog lift instead
will clarity win
show us where to begin
if it's so different why does it feel the same?
watching things unfold
this time on the outside of the flame
who lit the match?
was it meant to be dropped
trying to find a reason
but at what cost
chipping away at the light of day
mistaking the comfort for a reason to stay
when it's all said and done
will the ground you stand on
be turned to ash
stale smoke of the past
will eyes turn ahead
will the fog lift instead
will clarity win
show us where to begin

familiar (right person)

right person at the wrong time
didn't know we were searching for what we'd find
right person at the wrong time
sleepless nights
your lips against mine
coffee in the morning
your arms around my waist
drenched in the familiar
if only for a day
the past stays behind us
leave space for something new
i will find my way back to the reflection in your eyes
right person at the wrong time
didn't know we were searching for what we'd find
right person at the wrong time
sleepless nights
your lips against mine
walking in the evening
the weight starts to lift
driving through the valley
feel my focus shift
writing in the moonlight
the ink drips of you
i will find my way back to the reflection in your eyes

long way home
04:56
|
|||
|
you take the long way home
to drive by places you know i go
turns out i'm in my car too
hoping that i'll pass by you
when you're looking for me
i made a meal i know you'd like
but our conversations always ended in strife
so now i eat at this table alone
wondering if you ever made it home
are you looking for me?
am i looking for you?
is it easy to see?
was this the right thing to do?
rub my eyes and look in the mirror
a stranger stares back but it's not very clear
wash the liquor off of my tongue
another day lost, but another day done
are you looking for me?
am i looking for you?
is it easy to see?
was this the right thing to do?
are you looking for me?
am i looking for you?
is it easy to see?
this was the right thing to do
you take the long way home
to drive by places you know i go

let go
02:40
|
|||
|
crooked steps
misdirect the path you had to make
to give and not to take
and to let go
fall behind
stand in line
observe the space between
a want and a need
and now let go
build a home
in flesh and bone
speak without repair
never to compare
to let go

never be the same
06:32
|
|||
|
the dust returns to it's home on the windowsill
the sound of tires on the gravel outside
i turn away as the light hits my eyes
take a walk where the grass doesn't grow
puddles are memories of the rain
i know that things will never be the same
i know that things can never stay the same
winter turns toward the sound of the summer rain
clouds they fall off the edge of a picture frame
i know that things will never be the same
i know that things can never stay the same

wait up
04:44
|
|||
|
waiting for you to come around
we turn our eyes toward a familiar sound
'cause i heard it
did i hear it?
and the shadows turn their eyes to see
you grab your coat and begin to leave
but i knew you
did i know you?
wait up!
violet skies turn to grey
the birds don't have much to say
but i saw you
yes i see you!
and i barely recognize your face
broken bones, interlaced
but i knew you
did i know you?
