The Snow

Thank god the shades were drawn
I can't tell if something's wrong
Well have you talked at all today
You know you'll let it fade away
Every morning starts and nothing's changed
When will you learn
I check the clock
Just looking hurts
And I know that you'll sit
And watch me as I fucking drown
You clown!
Just lay down in the snow
Do I really have to go?
Just stay here please
How bad could it be?
You went to drink tonight
Are you feeling alright?
Do you maybe need a friend?
Was it what I said or when?
I heard life was cyclical
But maybe it's a straight line
Or an ellipse
I think about it all the time
But when I ask what do you think
(You just say
Who cares
Is that all you think about
I'm right in front of you)
Just lay down in the snow
I can't stand to know
Just get away from me
If that's how it has to be
Just get away from me

Walk
03:24
|

|
My chest feels so heavy
My eyes stare into the ground
I walk and the day is so long
Through the grass and through the rocks
I don’t know your face
I don’t know your face
One afternoon car ride and this is end
Everything
Everything will be glorify
Everything that accepts (effects) me will be glorify
Walk...
My chest feels so heavy
My eyes stare into the ground
I run as fast as I can and hope to god I don’t see you again
I don’t know your face
One afternoon car ride and this is the end

The Dome

It’s 1AM again and there’s no one awake
It’s dark in the kitchen
My heart starts to break
It’s much too quiet
The fridge is too bright
I keep trying to find it every late night
When I get know you
Where will I be?
Melancholic moment
Waiting for me
I open the cabinet
What do I need?
Something should be calling out to me
I look out window
What can I see?
Terrible shadows and nothing for me
When I’m much older
Older than now
Will I still be stuck here waiting around?
Is there some way out?
Something I can’t change
To stop me from feeling this way
When I get know you
Where will I be?
Melancholic moment
Waiting for me
When I’m alone again
Where will I be?
Melancholic moment
Waiting for me
For me

The Birds Are Chirping
04:00
|
|||
|
In the laundry room again
Should I get high or just pretend?
And now I'm thinking and these thoughts
they just never leave my head
And I've been sleeping in the basement
Cause there's clothes all over my bed
I'm too young to unfold
I'm too dumb to be this old
The birds are chirping
I think its time to go to sleep
I'll be quiet
You won't hear a peep
And now I'm dreaming and these dreams
They just never leave my head
And I've been sleeping in the basement
Cause there's clothes all over my bed
I'm too young to unfold
I'm too dumb to be this old
(I used to think I love the dome everything it stood for but lately I've been thinking I gotta find a way out but you see the trouble is you can never leave)

Quebec
02:14
|

I wrote this song about Quebec
I heard these people wanted to live there
but it was too expensive
So I bought my books and I went to class
and started painting
this naked man who’s here everyday
If I could get a job like this naked man
I would have it set
I could live in
Quebec
But hey
It’s been raining this entire day
And I don’t know
If I could take off these wet clothes
And I
I can, I can
Dream…
There’s no such thing as Quebec
And there’s no such thing as meaning
I just stand, stand, stand in front of this blank canvas

Be True
02:59
|
|||
|
You formed in your mothers basement
With some of your school friends
Although you can’t play that well
You like to say you’re in a band
Make art for the sake of art
Make art for the sake of art
How do you feel right now?
“Everyday, I feel a bit stranger”
Would you say what you said back then?
“Probably not”
May God forsake us all
May God forsake us all

Another round, around the city?
I can find another car
With everyone gone we can go far
You and me
Muse me
I want to join you
Swim in all your headspace
Read all your books
And burn all the pages
Blood on the floor
Skin falling off
Bodies
Metal bars
You and me
All these words
All these things
Everyone
Everything is just so hard
(If I had to say it again)
Alignment no more
red spread across the floor
Dead skin falling around
Scared bodies and metal bars
You and me
Gentle crossing together
Alignment no more
I thought this was your car
And you asked me
“Do you want go around the city once again?”
Flashing red and blue
I don’t understand

The Trees
04:17
|

|
A ghost used to play drums in the basement
They don't play anymore (cause the drums are gone)
When I quit, who will be my replacement?
Who will do the things I do?
My body is giving up on me
I look up at the trees
They're looking back at me
I drive by this church everyday
I just noticed it for the first time
When I quit, who will be my replacement?
Who will say the things I say?
OK
My body is giving up on me
I look up at the trees
They're looking back at me
Pay the rent, pay the rent
Pay off my debt, off my debt
My body is giving up on me
is giving up on
MEEEEEEEEE
MEEEEEEEEE
MEEEEEEEEEEE
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Another Day
05:10
|
|||
|
what can i do with another day
do i let it go? or feel it all again?
I thought i could leave things where they were
but i still come back, i thought we were sure
there's nothing left for me to change
im still the same, you're still the same
So we just orbit back around
i'll try my best, i'll tell you what i found
the characters break, their smile looks the same
i should have known, it wouldnt go away
and how embarrassing it must be
to fall back between
how much longer will i need?
why can't i just go back to sleep?
nothing here is really new
i see the steps, i know what to do
but why would i keep trying when
what i do, just melts and bends
i hear it and think of what i said
all my life, just stuck in my head

Stop Moving
02:21
|
|||
|
Putting the lyrics to the chords
Filling the silence with empty words
Taking up space, taking up space
Emotion run nigh
bashing my head
Against the music that is in
full motion
Stop
Moving
Just say it, just say it, just say it
I am trapped
I am drained
I’m not very clever
I am too literal
I have to be poetic
I have to sing
In order for my art to mean anything
Anything
Anything
