What would you say,
what would you say
if we tried again?
What would you say,
what would you say
if we died today?

Critic
04:50
|

|
Dig out your atlas,
get out your compass.
Keep all the wolves out,
make for the forest.
You better be nice to,
you better be nice to me.
You better behave, or
you’re going to be by yourself.
Get out your pencil,
take every word now.
Dig through the ashes,
burn everything down.
You better be nice to,
you better be nice to me.
You better behave, or
you’re going to be by yourself.
He’s like a furnace, make for the chapel!
He is the Critic throwing the apple.
Get out your marker
redact my letter.
Just stay in your closet,
make the world better.
You better be nice to,
you better be nice to me.
You better behave, or
you’re going to be by yourself.
He’s like a furnace, make for the chapel!
He is the Critic throwing the apple.
And, he is Prince Charming smashing the apple.
He is the Critic burning the chapel.
Run…
Turn off your curling iron,
it’s burning.
Borrow your own Prince Charming,
he’s learning.
He’s like a furnace, make for the chapel.
He is the Critic throwing the apple.
He is Prince Charming smashing the apple.
He is the Critic burning the chapel.
RUN!

Ava-
lanche
tonight.
Ava
fights
for her life.
She
tries
to fly.
But her
feathers
are on fire.
Expedition, slipping…
Little by little, she dies.
Snow drives
deep
tonight.
Ava
dives
a third time.
She
tries
to hide.
But her
tethered feathers
shine too bright.
Ava-
lanche
tonight.
Ava
still fights
for her life.
She
Tries
to fly,
but her feathers
shine too bright.

Diner
03:53
|

|
Clarity, to bring us home.
Bravery is left alone.
We realize without our phones…
that we are people,
humans with hope.
So,
Call ahead - -
the diner
Call ahead
to the diner.
Clarity, to bring us home.
But then bravery is left alone.
We realize without our phones…
that we are people,
humans with hope.
So,
Call ahead - -
the diner
Call ahead
to the diner.
Call ahead - -
Reserve a table
for us in the back
so we can
dine alone
and sink into
oblivion.
Seriously, bring me home,
Or just drop me off
Without my phone.
Leave me oh, oh, alone…
Or just drown me
in fields of stone.
Play along - -
The pressure.
Play along
with the pressure.
Play along…
The pressure
to get along
is a balm of
Self reflection,
Self-infection
Leading to
Oblivion.

New Leaves
03:47
|
|||
|
Slicing through the heart of it.
Fix it to the trees when they're in leaf.
See me just as I am comfortable.
Sew and squeeze the seed until it sings.
Brushing off the mud & ennui.
Falling somewhere in the in-between.
Counting our mistakes on repeat.
Quietly, I'm cursing through my teeth.
All my best of intentions
never could I
hold onto you.
Stuttering because I carry
the sea and everything that it might mean.
Turning over leaves, I worry...
never knowing what is underneath.
All my best of intentions
never could I
hold onto you.

All of Me, You Want
04:31
|

|
Your eyes align with my sight.
You kill me with your bright idea.
Tell me something I would buy.
Crush me, cleave me to your side.
And, you want to call it off.
I don’t want to call it off.
Tell me that you want me all,
All of me, you want.
Your friends think that I am fine.
Tell them that I’m dead inside.
Dig it deeper than my sighs.
Your eyes align with my sight.
And, you want to call it off.
I don’t want to call it off.
Tell me that you want me all,
All of me, you want.
Call me everything.
Tell me everything.
And, you want to call it off.
I don’t want to call it off.
Tell me that you want me all,
All of me, you want.
I don’t want to call it off…
Yeah, you want to call it off.
Tell me that want me all.
All of me
Call me everything.
Tell me everything.

Sidecar
02:41
|

|
Where are you going
now that you've settled on it?
It doesn't appear to be anywhere near.
Where is your sidecar
with all your accoutrements?
I'm going to suggest that you leave it right here.
Say it again, say it again...
Where is your backpack
with all your pastel polos?
Maybe it's hanging out under the stairs
with all the chronic mopers and insult throwers.
Maybe they're seeing if anything fits.
Say it again, say it again.
I'm never your girlfriend.
Say it again, say it again.
I'm never your boyfriend.

Walking It Back
03:23
|
|||
|
This day
is getting me down
from the first day on.
Calm down.
You’re walking it back,
you don’t need to shout.
Play tag,
I’m sick of being it,
just leave it now.
Just calm down.
You’re walking it back,
you don’t need to shout.
Calm, calm down.
Slow down.
I’m sick of being told
what I do wrong.
Just calm down - -
I can’t say it enough,
just please don’t shout.
Calm, calm down.
Miss you baby…
I can’t afford to get close again.
I miss you baby,
but I am bored.

Storm
04:10
|
|||
|
Please tell me where you want to go,
so I can follow through the storm.
I swear that I'm not keeping score,
but for you winning means much more.
Skittering sideways on the road,
grab the steering wheel before we roll.
Stare blind and I won't lose control.
I'll wear my armor thicker than before.
Let's go back to, let’s go back to
where we both grew up.
Let's get back to, let’s get back to
where we both are right now.
Shove off, but leave me salt and bone
leftover from our wicked storm.
You are seen and you are believed,
but will anybody vouch for me?
Let’s go back to, let’s go back to
Where we both grew up.
Let’s get back to, let’s get back to
Where we both are right now.
Let’s get back to, let’s go back to
Where we both grew up.
Let’s get back, let’s get back to
Where we both are right now.
Right now.
Right now.
Where we both are right now.

You’re not very
Extraordinary.
I find that your
Boredom is so very
Boring.
Just leave it there.
Instead, you’d rather fall apart
(than keep it together).
I just don’t care.
I’m not the champion of your scars.
So, I’ll see you later.
But, how long should I wait
to leave you to your fate?
Grab your life raft
Cry out all of your tears.
You say you care.
You take much more than you give
to save yourself.
Just leave it there.
It’s easier to fall apart
than keep it together.
I know you’re scared,
but keep your chaos to yourself.
What is it really about?
But, how long should I wait
to call you in this game?
How long?
Go right ahead,
drop your anchor right here.
You sink. I swim far away from your fear
to save myself.
Just leave it there.
Instead, you’d rather fall apart
(than keep it together).
I just don’t care.
I’m not the champion of your scars.
So, I’ll see you later.
But, how long should I wait
(I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait…)
To leave you to your fate?
How long?
