favorite part
loathe to measure
where is truth?
still I can't shake this half phrase
still more to do
spiral down
same as ever
twisting to nothing
can't change the constraints
burned-in dream of you
a simple thing
could be so much better
walk into the murk together
we'll be together
counting windows
we don't have
bending backwards
while you laugh
can't blame the soft shade
can't fault the gloom
can't place this heartache
same dream on loop
can't change the constraints
still more to do

the shadows on their faces
this stairway is still haunted
so console me
new love is lonely
your patterns are my favorite
the lines beneath will start to go
so console me
new love is holy
I’m waiting
I’m waiting
been waiting for you
so console me
new love is lonely
so console me
new love is holy

where do you go?
weathered shell
keeping nothing for yourself
kick the grass that’s poking out
from the pavement
unannounced
made of glass
warm to the touch
still convinced it’s not enough
even in motion
you tell me to wait
you’re dragging your feet now
it’s getting too late
total devotion
never relayed
you’re dragging your feet now
it’s getting too late
cross it out for me
in the corner, on the shelf
keeping nothing for yourself
can’t take back what’s in the tile
let it hold your voice a while
you’ve got it all wrong
it’s been there all along
even in motion
you tell me to wait
you’re dragging your feet now
it’s getting too late
total devotion
never relayed
you’re dragging your feet now
it’s getting too late

second day
floating by another
can't explain
cause all you do is hover
I still want to lay down
empty all my pockets out
second day
jammed just like the lever
it's all the same
when all you do is hover
let me know
this won't last forever
nothing to owe
if all you do is hover
slow down
you're racing,
giving up on the wrong thing
we'll cool off when we get there
we'll glow in the dark like you've wanted
superstition's got you thinking
you can't help it
halved in secret
mint condition
but prone to drifting
it's not leaving
sink your teeth in

start to make it out
shyly turning luck
hold my breath and bite my tongue
don't look that way too much
it wouldn't be the first time
the ground you're on has fallen away
I'm losing count of all the days I've wasted
oh all I want's to feel like something's taking
thread pulled out
honest mistake
blue pieces scattered in your wake
you lost track of where you are
look up, it's all gone wrong
lying awake
tell me how much more I need to wait
forget about the last time
the hold you know will fall away
I'm losing count of all the days I've wasted
oh all at once I feel like something's taking

Honeyed (Stay Forever)

come to
erased
sunlight inlaid
you are honeyed
two spires I cannot reach
awash in
all the same unbelieving thoughts
you couldn't shake
even if you wanted
the note you left is rubbing off
won't you come back and touch it up
cause you're one of us
but you lost sight
just like all of us
you're tied just right
you'll find a place to air your shadow out
even though they're leaving us
so keep on your way down
it can't be too far now
so keep on your way down
it won't be too long now
look up, released
no palms to read
I'd like to know
where would you go
if it were up to you
if it were up to me
if it were up to you
it's not up to me
stood in the heat
a dreamless sleep
we both would know
there's time to go

outside when narrow
the sun on the wire
lilting
to understand
the invitation
again
you felt it come true then
etched in a blinking
pattern you can't forget
the color's unknowing but the landing seems close
cuz it's no different
light shifting
While all the rest fills in slowly
you find your head fizzing softly
And you swear this all feels new
But it's no different

Down the Pyramid

list creased and yellowed
crossed off your name
still set on finding who is to blame
back to the country
you made yourself
broke all the windows
it didn't help
don't feign to look under the table
don't ask me what things I would change
I'm already testing your patience
and it's coming apart at the seams
one
step
turn
to see
I'm catching on something
I shouldn't be asking
the asphalt beneath me
it wouldn't believe me
there's nothing to go on
since you moved away from
the room with the curtain
that made you so certain

Mantra

everything I don't want to change is changing
everyone I don't want to leave is leaving
everything I want to change is staying the same
everyone that I want to stay is leaving
can you name all the places you were racing?
can you tell just by the light which way you're facing?
everything I want to change is staying the same
every time I get less sure of what we're chasing
sometimes when gathered it starts to seep
sometimes a glimmer will let you breathe
can you feel the ground beneath us shaking?
can you tell by the way it leans which way it's breaking?
everything I want to change is staying the same
every night I can't bear to think how long it's taken
let's spend some time together, here for another day
I'll dream of you forever, won't let it wash away
it feels like now or never, I lost count of the days
I'll dream of you forever, lets dream this all away
just let it wash away
now
everything I don't want to change is changing
everyone I don't want to leave is leaving
everything I want to change is staying the same
everyone that I want to stay is leaving
I should just forget,
wash out the ink that's still left
but how could I?
all along, right in front of you
all this time, its been coming true
all along, right in front of me
all this time, perfect symmetry
