Heavens forgiven the height you climbed toward And taking away the aches and the pain That came with the hate in the sand that you ate There’s change in my eyes And in the air though I act surprised Suspended and gone away we remember the day We’re remembering how We disappeared into clouds And when we looked back down A nauseating sentiment overcame Let’s remember again It was a resemblance of mercy & of the wind in my sails It was perfected air I know what he’s here for & I know what you’ve done So take this pill from me & roll back your heads to remember again Forget what we came for Out of tune it’s undone Distrust his alchemy & fold in the tongues for a warmer refund We’re present we long for Reappearing as one So fake your way thru it & hold in your breath now you’re shaking with death Consume what you’ve cared for & pretend that you’ve won Your shamefulness washed away You overcame you overcame

Practicing crosshatch I’d die preparing things for you Crawl down the wrong path Crying hysterically I’d do anything Know where the window shines It’s in the world now You feel hot now It’s where the sun can’t be found We fought a hole in Into the ceiling We watch the rain fall inside We held power It felt so right We kept our secrets and lies But I don’t believe you did well enough Out where the wind won't blow I showed up melting It must be nothing One step a lake occupies A lower height now I feel weak now Two swims and we’re feeling fine Heading out there Fearing I said There’s no protection inside And I do believe in hell it’s above This feels as it should Complete and real this neighborhood Take it as it’s made Religion the structure as it’s knit Adding to our decay

Cross Face 03:13
The time you spend with an old friend redeems useless The time you spend rethinking it’s usefulness A day flies by I live inside the head of a nail And it hurts me to move outside Invariably sharp eyes An hourglass sands become glass it breaks Has an hour passed we wait to clean the mess it creates I blame myself for volume of noise the books on the shelf And i learn to crawl one step One leap one stride
4.
Bedhead 03:04
I don’t think your time trap deserves my attention Kick back and alleviate the mindset Win conditions it’s all unusable When the caterpillar on the flagpole’s Swept in by the people you despise The alchemy of all the family you kept in love with What scares me most your winnings sold into the great divide Into my spine brash and bold From what I can see you’re crawling into bed Every time you twist the knife I’m replying out of context The face I’ve saved is fucking useless All my materials for flying home They’re all lost inside this house
5.
Chagrin 04:10
I woke up ; I breathe in I arrived on time with a bullseye Shot a firework in the ground I was scared to condemn The violence I happened upon that day I made the case to take the long way home The intent; innocent Surrounded and buried the same two bricks You claimed to have swallowed for the promise I'd turn my back Sing a why; so serene The way back there was a lost day I was satisfied to leave And if i’d have worked the same job I would have quit the second I clocked on to save my skin And if I’d have occupied the same heart I would have never ever bled in the long haul; kicking free Cuz you’re never here & you were never here & now I have to leave & that’s the saddest thing & all the promises & all a safety is Is just a fantasy Abandoned in the same creek I threw my shoes in & you’re never here & all the promises & all a safety is Is just out of reach As I just watch your head spin; turn into a sinking ship I threw up I’m bleeding And oh it’s such a shame And much to my chagrin I forgot how to swim
6.
This is the halfway point for it Where I’m acting innocent Fainting, making you repeat every question Happens after the attack Into the mouth that you allow it in And comes back up unannounced And sadly it reminds me Of when I sang so quietly On couches staged for restless days The parade staged below my home The heat turned off so use the stove On lightness we breathe thru their new TV Clears a pathway out to make Out these paper little legs Can’t be begged not to mention every instance It’s been clouds above my head Expectations heaven sent Have to ground my spring time home From saving face and leaving clues To watching you inside my room My soundtrack hits rewind Every time
7.
We swam we sit we saw how far we could get All the salts in the sea couldn’t get me to declare a need a new friend One who cares about me Or the nonsense I’m bringing What we laughed at Didn’t make sense Any way that you spin it i’m listening

Talker 04:28
This Romance turns my heart to stone I didn’t wait so I didn’t know Picks and picks off the side of his cheeks skin Up all night he played to win It can’t remember what you wore that day My back could break if I say the wrong thing I ask about the time you forgot to call him We share a smile I feel gone after I think We’re just alone You became the one I hate You became natural ache I feared to love Halt this loss with piercing aim Invariably sharp without a hesitation To open up your eyes for a fighting flinch My head full of ice anticipate earthquake Anticipate earthquake You became the one I loved And you became the one I killed off In this game I was amazed by the way our bodies shake I laughed it made me feel OK We need you to come back here and fully decay To the time when it was just a game A handful of fists and never to pray We’ll fake it til it sets aflame My ears were collapsed by the thrill of the day A smile, it took me away A twenty-something mile, a sweat we break So maybe find someone else to blame I’m naked on my back it’s sunny today It’s been awhile since I played to retain If this is how it’s gonna be I guess that I would have to say It doesn't pain me to admit It was another fine day unpaid (When you come back) you say you’re feeling out of touch That it’s not urgent but you called the home phone (Thoughts of a car crash) were never really mine to suppress You called so late you’re not waking me up (I lay awake) And I anticipate the harm I deserve The gun’s not loaded but your innocence yearns for it (play date) The marrying of child and the poem The flight’s delayed but I can see it’s coming in slow (You looked away once) to the shade where all the settling starts Been an eternity since all of your place fell apart And I know that you anticipate earthquake But please let me help you clean

And so he grabs his gun when he hears his name Though he can’t recall the evil things he’s said He can’t survive under the guise of the weak He gives his faith his family a nod goodbye Shouts in the sky oh why Shouts in the sky oh why can’t I He said he’d only show himself when the ground begins to shake He starts to fear the enemies he’s made When he came to terms with the lightness he caved Surprised himself with the look of the long-lost rain Shouts in the sky oh why Shouts in the sky oh why can’t I Crippled now, his hands begin to shake The sport of the horse the energy he craved He lost the line he pulled in to save his skin Revoking a cigarette he thinks of the lives he saved Shouts in the sky oh why Shouts in the sky oh why can’t I He has a look up to the stars up high Shouts in the sky why oh why can’t I He wants to feel the same way as you and I He wants to feel the same things we do when we cry Wants to feel the same way as you and I

Your last brother’s face it kept the shape The pardoned ache it wanted to retain A guest it takes his skin behind the fridge You hide away the ice on holidays You wake another day another clue He breathed out once as red replaced the blue We walk around the block recovering As water heals your wounds you feel the need The kansas wind It kept you in A safe suspended freeze you couldn’t escape To keep the love you always thought that you needed Take a step and breathe inviting scream
11.
You read half speeds You just didn’t have the glow The time we’re given doesn’t know To trust; remind me what you can "What makes you happy?" She writes into her smallest mold Tragedy struck her heart, I know Unfastened hurt it melts the hand unheld He never stayed at home He probably broke your heart The writing it was on the wall The four of us in the bedroom The clock it had a working hand No matter the time it told We covered it in the sand Jumping at a basement headcold The night I locked myself out The door ajar a healthy heart Thinking with a lateral head now We settled on a resident evil The I walked myself home The rain it filled a soaking shirt The rain it filled a smaller shoe The rain it filled my harbor home My left hand moves forward I’m losing sight Like soft serving glances That you exchanged with us Your sharpened nails In the back of my head Falling to the ground The shape’s unending motion To another place It’s irreversible Every time you twist the knife I reply it’s not a contest This face I’ve saved is fuckin useless All my materials for flying home they’re all lost Inside this house The Kansas wind Under your wings
