intro 02:36
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
