Solid Ghost
03:36
|
|||
|
There was a time I felt less human and more like a solid ghost
Chasing off the other spirits that I loved most
Dwelling on my sadness, becoming one with my shadow
Never tried to take my life, but I admit that I got close
Then suddenly you came to me all angel wings and light
And I thank my stars you done it
Showed me someone wanted
Made me go from haunted to electrified
May seem to you like I’m half the man that I was, but now I’m solid
A hearty base, a new foundation (whoa whoa)
Whatever you call it
Spit n’ shine, put all the time in
You broke him, now you bought it
Everything you ever wanted (whoa whoa)
Now you got it
And you came to me like a halo’s ring obscured by my whole life
When you wait so long for someone
Yeah you wait so long for someone
Wait so long and suddenly your heart explodes
How could you be so timely?
I was on my last legs
And like an angel you find me
I beg, I beg, I beg! Take me there!
From the outside looking in I see that your body’s broken hearted
It’s just dead weight for heightened states (whoa whoa)
Not quite departed
Now you’re diagnosed a solid ghost, so you’re free
Come join the party
New point of view to lean into (whoa whoa)
Just getting started
And you came to me with the bravery of someone twice your size
When you wait so long for someone
You pray so long for someone
You wait so long and suddenly your heart explodes
Boom

Where We Began
02:29
|
|||
|
Yeah you took me on a midnight ride
Destination was a place to hide
But somehow you got yourself inside my head instead
Yet I know that it’s a mess in here
And my feelings all but disappear
Til they come back stronger than they were before
Oh we’re back to where we began
No place for such a fragile man
Try to be the one who makes me understand
(Girl, you know that I am always on demand)
(Yeah, you make me feel like I’m your only plan)
Yeah the cats come out to play
While we’re dwelling on yesterday
But nothing could tear me away from you
It’s true

Baby baby baby
Sweet and so tenderly
Ha ha ha ha ha
Hey!
Ooh Ah Ah Ah
Stay with me
I can’t live another century
Without you right here next to me
Cuz when I look back at everything
We’ve survived through the good and the bad
I melted off so tenderly
thinking bout who we used to be
Too young and afraid to see
What was right there in front of me
I wasted so much time denying (expecting) love
One century with you is not enough
No it ain’t
(One century with you ain’t even close to enough)
And you-ooh ooh ooh
You left me on the ledge tonight
Ooh standing on the edge of empathy and love and tenderness
And laid me down to coo
I’m cooing like a baby
Just like somebody paid me
A little goo goo goo and ga ga ga ga
And you’re still here to guide me through the rough stuff
Oh, I’m so lucky
Thank you for reminding me what’s crucial
We built a home, and I’ll always work for your heart
Foundations of patience and love

Hello, Mr. Sandman
04:55
|
|||
|
Hello, Mr. Sandman
Why you always skipping past my house?
Ooh my eyes are heavy, but it seems my dreams are always dipping out
Mind working overtime while all the lights are low
Though I cannot find a reason to get up and at ‘em
No I can’t put on a show the way I’m feeling now
When I listened to the voices I lost sight of mine
At first it was a choice, but it forced itself with time
I know I’ll get it back in line somehow
Til then I’ll fight this battle with my doubts

Sleight of Hand
03:19
|
|||
|
Wakin’ up on your own
Oh how could she leave you alone?
Without even a note on the hotel stationery saying she’s gone
It must be magic
Oh how could you have it two ways and be blinded again?
She’s disappearing
Everything you’re fearing from the start
Now I’m sensing a trend
How could it be a surprise?
Like they say
Shame on me, fool me twice
It’s just a trick of the eyes
(It’s just a matter of time)
Once you see it, now it’s vanished from sight
Classic sleight of hand
Now your eyes deceive you again
Mystified every time you realize you’re always on the receiving end
It must be magic
So supernatural
Under some kind of charm
No it’s never your fault
Classic sleight of hand
(Oh no. There she goes.)
Now your eyes deceive you again
(It’s a classic sleight of hand.)
Mystified every time you realize you’re always on the receiving end

Patchwork Prisms
03:08
|
|||
|
Patchwork quilt of autumn trees fly by
Blur into one color as I drive
A patchwork that unravels in my mind
Leaving all the troubles in the rearview as I drive
Prisms shimmer from an album sleeve
Roll a joint so you can go to sleep
Everything that I could ever need
Cuddled up and cozy in the dreams I go so deep
Bedroom door is closed
Only room I know
Little eyes aglow
Drifting gently as snow
Patchwork quilt of autumn trees fly by
As a darker season comes alive
A patchwork that unravels in my mind
One last burst of color so the leaves can fall and die
Prisms glimmer off of my TV
Bouncing off the walls and onto me
Everything that I could ever need
Cuddled up and cozy in the dreams I go so deep
Everybody is living alone

Neon Aglow
03:39
|
|||
|
Flashback trippin’ through the sounds of the night
All the SoundCloud rappers have been frozen in time
Click track drippin’ through the walls of my mind
Slowin’ down the blood flow and the passage of rhymes
Hey, who’s gonna pick up the jerk?
You’ve been expanding your worth
Neon
Neon aglow
Neon
Neon aglow
Aux cord sessions yeah the pressure is on
Creepin’ on the battlefields of your newest song
Yeah the walls are sweatin’ while the heads bob along
Melt the competition while you prove you belong
Hey, who’s gonna kick out the jerk?
You’ve been expanding your work
What’s the wildest time you ever had in your life?
Mine was trippin’ balls when the car came alive
Parked there for centuries all covered in vines
Had to smash the windows just to get me inside
Hey, yeah I was the jerk
And now I can’t work

Hearts Have Misspoken
03:51
|
|||
|
Fightin’ my sleep through the cold night
Still layin’ in bed
The itch of the wool dances on my jawline
Down to my chest, back in my head
Oh oh
Oh oh oh
Said oh oh
Oh oh oh
We found ourselves frozen in unfortunate times
No words could be chosen
If we could find them they’d melt the ice and
Our hearts have misspoken
There’s no replay, broadcast delay
Our closed hearts left me broken
Under our breath what did we say?
Keep it alive
Take it in stride
We can survive
Larger than life
Bags are unpacked
Baby you’re back
The seeds have been planted
Our hearts have misspoken
I’ll never let that happen again
Two fragile twigs in a cold snap
Could’ve left us for dead
We get so lost in the syntax
It might make sense, but it’s over our heads
But we try
We try to understand
We’d die if we don’t try
We trust our emotions
And follow ‘em blind
Out into the ocean
Deeper we dive we find more lies

Burn the Page
03:54
|
|||
|
I used to turn a phrase then burn the page
The winds caught the embers and carried away
The things I’m not allowed to say
And as the fires rage I spiral in shame
So where my hopes and daydreams used to hang
They sunk a little lower and wasted away
Now looking back at my own face
Peekin’ out of the ripples and through the waves
As we watched before it all wash ashore
How life could be so plain
Without one last inch a-fallin’
Where’s the rain? Hey hey
Always one boat short with no witty retort to come save us all
In the end it’ll take a pen
Our common ground
While we drown, Oh
Take the helm as I write myself into the bottom bargain basement shelf
Now looking back I built myself a cage
And all these years later I’m walking away
I’m moving on with just this song
In a broken tape deck that only replays
And as I watched the coastline fade from sight
I laughed at the metaphor of my whole life
The world’s my own depression light
My words became my curse I could never rewrite

Hit and Run
03:13
|
|||
|
I bop my head side to side when I realize I’ve been driving too aggressively
I’m in the wrong and I know, but if I wave my arms to show, it’ll just come off as unhinged
And if you look back you’d just see a maniac, a man weary from the endless road
If I could just explain that I’m not insane in a way that wouldn’t make you explode
And that’s another form of love (oh oh)
When you trip over your own tongue
When the words come out your mouth and you’re watching
But you just can’t stop it quick enough
Watch out before you hit and run my heart down
‘Cause I might see my whole life laid out on the road
The moment you notice everything is slowed down, unknown
I took every precaution and wouldn’t change a thing
Oh hell no, here I go again careless walking into the street
Almost as if in my sleep this time
Whoa oh I’m in deep
I should’ve known not to get too close behind when there’s a blind spot down the line
If I could just respect my first reflex our trajectories would never align
|

You're Not Alone
03:18
|
|||
|
Since I was barely teenaged I’d feed myself little white lies to stick and poke
Assembling before I’d know
The tyranny they’d hold
A little voice that could make big noise when it’s unchecked, no balance revealed
Ordering my final meal
Comfort food to seal the deal
But I know oh oh
Yeah I know oh oh
I’m not alone
I can’t stop shaking
I can’t stop crying
No we won’t start living until we’re dying
Just some bad decisions now all these visions won’t stop
Our love turned toxic when weren’t watching
So microscopic we couldn’t stop it
And the grand illusion’s just one transfusion away
We keep mistreating
Our cold hearts beating
With the true devotion of bad blood seeking for an unblocked vein
Any open lane to get out
And the spreading poison just keeps destroyin’
Everything that we once found joy
Unless we cut it off in one lop, yeah amputate
Yeah we cut it off in one lop and throw it away
Throw it away
Yeah we cut it off in one lop and amputate

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche.
