intro

I don't know, I don't know
what to make of any of this
try to take a step, but I'm up in the air
grabbing at treetops to pull myself back down
corner gaze unsettles my stomach
swirling coffee and wine
I feel covered in windows
so I shattered my eyes
said I could still see fine
you asked if you should pity me
I couldn't see your eyes, whimpering into clouds
I could only say, "I'm sorry"
in reliable dishonesty
wish I wasn't made of glass
both of us, I'm sure
you could see right through me
wonder why you stuck around
you never told me that
left on my throne of thin air squinting down at the ground
skin more brittle than ever
hope I don't drop

shake in your boots
it's overwhelming, but I hear it's tough to be sincere
can't kill yourself with kindness, I've tried
but it hasn't been enough to pull me out so far
I know, I just have to learn to apply myself
why can't I sleep in here? I guess it's just as well
because it smells like you, but, that ends soon
let me know if I can't see myself from up here
I'm in an ugly place
smoking cigarettes in the rain
there's a cut in the screening of my bedroom window
and over my windowsill there's a patch of snow where my body never hit the ground
all winter intact
I've broken so many years before
that's ok, I think
stepped through a doorway that closed behind me
I can't see how many stood before, I gave them no thought
stepped through a doorway that closed behind me
I can't see how many stood before, I gave them no thought

hold ur hand
02:43
|

for a mouth full of leaves, I know this song's too sweet
"why's the music stop so much?", she said
there's a lot I could've read from an apple core torn out for a laugh in a bedroom
I can't see through your empty bars
why didn't I hold your hand?
our skulls were held wide open so we hid in the space between our fingers
looking down the hole in your basement floor
I'm watching me sit there, play with the carpet
after all it seems that I was man enough
an apple stuck in my throat
a missing core to breath through
I didn't even think to...
why didn't I hold your hand?
our skulls were held wide open so we hid in the space between our fingers

raven song
01:43
|
|||
hold on, I'm waking up, I've heard the raven's deal
it's a song
stuck into my head
and I wanna forget it
breathe in, make a mental note of everything
you can hold it for a while
but too much holding on is a bad thing
I can explain myself
everybody's heard my song
they've heard every word of it
the one where I beg myself to accept that I'm worthless - the chorus only lasts for a line:
"I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't"
my whine hasn't aged so well so far
I meant it well, investment pays
I'm sure it will someday soon
you bet, I remember all of mine
every one of them
give me what I want instead of an ember
I remember what I should say:
"I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't"
I know what I should've said:
"I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't"

pavement
02:08
|
|||
"you'll figure it out"
as if the pieces don't fit yet
they're scattered on the floor as if I don't mind
but what if you and I are floating on driftwood
hold my hand, it's a long way down to the floor
I feel so far from the way you held me in your eyes go to the road
I'm just the passenger seat
pull me in as I trail from the window
the wind is in my hair, I'm sure it's fine
watch my hands take on the texture of pavement
"they're so soft", you say as I fall through the door
as I lay on the sidewalk
I know it's all in the name of a beautiful tyrant
you're close to me
but I can't help watch as the minute hand locks into place
maybe I need to be left alone
pull myself from this well that I hang from
hold my hand, it's a long way to the floor

outro (a Mess)
01:46

I felt it when you left
a kiss on your cheek was all I could say
