Great Lakes
03:30

Frightened by knowing
What all our talk has got me going through
Pushing out the feeling
And going home to empty rooms
For some reason
It can fill us up
Don’t know why but it won’t stop
Hallowed out and thin
Feels like a fall could be a great escape
Staring at the ceiling
And dreamin up some way to make you stay
For some reason
It can fill us up
Don’t know why but it won’t stop
The great lakes
We’ve been tamed by the great lakes

Give Up the Rest
02:31
|

I’ve got that sand at my heels
But the feeling is real
My eyes are closing there’s not much left
Except the hours to steal
I know my skin’s turned to stone
Can’t move when I am alone
Feels like my ceiling is haunting me
Why won’t you pick up the phone?
I have to give up the rest
Helpless, flat on my back
Think I’ve come under attack
For the decisions that I have made
I try to breathe but I can’t
How many times in a day
Have my thoughts gone astray
Release me please I have done no wrong
I simply made some mistakes
I have to give up the rest
Release me please I have done no wrong
I simply made some mistakes

Wait
02:31
|

Nothing’s changed
There’s not a drop of bad blood between us
I keep my head down
And i know you can understand
Well I’ve fallen out with all my old friends, bud
But I’ll continue to hold on until you tell them
Wait
You’ve got it all wrong, so why can’t you
Stay
Don’t turn it all off, at least not right out of the
Gate
Please you’ve got it all wrong so why can’t you wait
I’m seeing stars
My hands are shaking, I stayed up all night
Filled with regret
And what am i to do with it
You’ve got a lot of words that fill a lot of pages
But written in the margins
Is something that you couldn’t say out loud
Didn’t feel right just to bleed it out
Wait
You’ve got it all wrong, so why can’t you
Stay
Don’t turn it all off, at least not right out of the
Gate
Please you’ve got it all wrong so why can’t you wait

For Real
03:07
|

Someone borrowed my time and let it ride
On the wings you made me
On the hope of someday
I don’t wanna leave you so I’ll remain
Some hundred miles away
But we can try
And nothing changes our minds
But my heart doesn’t beat when you’re not around
So we can try
Don’t worry about what you find
My eyes are closed tight and my hands are bound
For real
There is no conclusion, the future’s wide
But I’ve got my blinders on
Hold my hand
Your room is like a dungeon but I don’t mind
The chains to nothing to me
So we can try
And nothing changes our minds
But my heart doesn’t beat when you’re not around
So we can try
Don’t worry about what you find
My eyes are closed tight and my hands are bound
For real

Cannot Hang
02:11
|

If I led you astray
Would you take it away?
I mean it’s just not my thing
What else can I say?
I wrapped myself up in June
Left this afternoon
And now there’s snow on the ground
Feels like it’s too soon
I really wish I could
I wanna know what’s good, I cannot hang
If I invent a way to feel, is it enough to help me deal?
I’m sorry I didn’t call
Did you miss me at all?
Feels like I’m floating around
Instead of breaking your fall
But just go without me and don’t look back
Cause I’ve been changing this whole time
I forgot the context of your attack
Forgot the feeling of sunshine
I really wish I could
I wanna know what’s good, I cannot hang
If I invent a way to feel, is it enough to help me deal?

Edge of My Life
03:07
|
|||
Every word’s been weighted, as if tied to a stone
Did you reach that conceit on your own?
Guess I’ll take you home
At night you are told that you’re wrong
By shrieking creatures who strung you along
But I think you’re strong
What is the beauty that’s come over me
Do you have to get what you see?
If not, then it’s free
A howling wind clings to the scene
In a voice so soft but unyieldingly mean
You can’t help but speak
All of the ways that you burn me alive
I’ll do what it takes to survive
Just bring me to the edge of my life
Born and repurposed to purchase the throne
You’re scared to do it on your own
How high you have flown
Upset by the things you have learned
But while you have toiled and yearned
You gave someone else a turn
All of the ways that you burn me alive
I’ll do what it takes to survive
Just bring me to the edge of my life

Face the Sky
03:16
|

Your face in the window
The words that you found weren’t wasted
I won’t tire again
Sights unseen, thoughts untasted
Where is forever?
The end that I felt has faded
Face the sky but don’t go
The need is there, the stars choke
Head and ground, they both hold
It opens up, the clouds broke
Who made you stay there
Alone at the edge unwanted
The future is clear now
Falling forever and on
Falling on
Face the sky but don’t go
The need is there, the stars choke
Head and ground, they both hold
It opens up, the clouds broke
Guarding your mind
From the yawning of time
Despite the boundaries
Know the years have been kind
Scared to rest
You know you’ve passed the first test
The light’s gone out
Now the light springs from your chest

Never Gonna Die
03:04
|
|||
Pick a habit you said
Some things aren’t worth the price we pay
It’s not that I don’t believe you
But I’m doing ok
I wish I could make you believe
I’m never gonna die, alright?
I know what you’ve heard, believing written word instead of sight
But I’m never gonna die, alright?
When the sun burns out
When the oceans and rivers stone
It’ll be something close to rapture
I’ll be here alone
I wish I could make you believe
I’m never gonna die, alright?
I know what you’ve heard, believing written word instead of sight
But I’m never gonna die, alright?
Body of glass, smoke and caffeine
Convincing myself the dangers mean nothing to me
I’m never gonna die, alright?
I know what you’ve heard, believing written word instead of sight
But I’m never gonna die, alright?

Huntress
02:29
|
|||
There’s never been a better target
Broken winged and heavy hearted
You were taught to bleed them til they’ve all been dried
How else could you be the law of nature’s bride?
But I’ve been waiting so long to tell ya
Huntress with the cup that you drank from
Born to take the life of the golden sun
For there are answers in the forgetting of things
If you’ve got a problem deep in your lungs
Don’t try to understand if it won’t come
When the chalice has been emptied
And you’ve collected all your dowry
Will you spare them from your jaws or from your strike?
I look forward to the screaming in the night
Huntress with the cup that you drank from
Born to take the life of the golden sun
For there are answers in the forgetting of things
If you’ve got a problem deep in your lungs
Huntress with the cup that you drank from
Dawning on the days that we stole from
For there are answers in the forgetting of things
If you’ve got a problem deep in your lungs
Don’t try to understand if it won’t come

Hunter

Dark glasses, the sun in the living room
You - you speak so soft, think I would know if you were going to
Sick and bloody, beat and bruised
Fell in love with a landslide
It’s so far off
We were born under a dark cloud baby
But the stars were all aligned
I know it’s difficult when you’ve seen the surface
I know it’s difficult to say goodbye
I’m getting older still
And all my friends are giving in
So what?
We were born under a dark cloud baby
But the stars were all aligned
I know it’s difficult when you’ve seen the surface
I know it’s difficult to say goodbye
