Disappear 04:16
Do you suppose that I could just disappear? We’ve go to get a little light in here You and I will be okay giving all to the flame Oh, I feel weird Some of our loss is the best in trying Give a little up or let it overflow Some of it hurts but I’m realizing Every part I lose is a part worth letting go Lately I’ve been burning much too slow, I know The color of your eyes as they start to dull Before you get too cold I’ll burn down, down, down Still the part’s not crystal clear But it fades into the air I will be what I say as my body melts away Oh, disappear Some of our loss is the best in trying Give a little up or let it overflow Some of it hurts but I’m realizing Every part I lose is a part worth letting go Lately when I hold you in my arms, I’m home The color in my eyes as they start to glow I am afraid to be the kind of man I want to be I am ashamed to say But if you ask I will try to be

The Fire 04:16
Keeping an eye on the brighter skies We were all carved from blocks of ice Shield ourselves from the sun and from the moon A sheltered life is inopportune We’ll break and feel the fire, falling underneath We’ll break and feel the fire, falling under Keeping an eye out for summer days We will not hide as the darkness fades Beyond the waves of a never-ending sea We’ve got no rules or guarantees We’ll break and feel the fire, falling underneath We’ll break and feel the fire, falling under It’s okay, it’s alright, You’re not alone It’s okay, it’s alright It’s okay, it’s alright, you’re not alone It’s okay, it’s alright We’ll break and feel the fire, falling underneath We’ll break and feel the fire, falling under

Headache 04:44
From our mouths we foam like beasts We only smile to show our teeth The river running down this line Is a border between what’s yours and mine All our lives we serve ourselves It’s the common curse of might-as-well For all we live to know is known And all we seek to keep has flown away Hold on dear love Holding on is all we’ve got Well, our bodies break before their time A little strength is hard to find But still I try Well, surely now I do believe That death is coming after me This stone we push won’t move itself It brings to mind the hand we’re dealt So come on let’s all break this down We’re still here, not in the ground So come on lets all break this down We’re still here, not in the ground Well, our bodies break before their time A little strength is hard to find But still I try Well, surely now I do believe That death is coming after me And if you leave hardly even knowing the calm that’s found in the silver lining Well, our bodies break before their time A little strength is hard to find But still I try Well, surely now I do believe That death is coming after me

Paths 05:13
I’m haunted as history comes and culminates We’re fed the things we’re taught to hate Unwanted, the paths they carve to take us there Is all politics and disrepair I’ve seen it We’ve grown accustomed to these stones But life is more than shadow shows I’m over it It’s darker when the fire dies But only covered by your eyes It’s not too late I’ll dig a hole or run away Anything but what they say The closest of calls, are we living too fast? We built from the ground with the answers we have We’re half sunk in mud, are we stuck in the past? We’re still looking for signs, we’re still following maps On our own Carving out these paths, hoping that they last Are we wasting our time filling cracks in the land? We can’t bury what’s dead ‘til there’s dirt on our hands On our own Carving out these paths, hoping that they last
6.
So stop and pick up where we left off And watch, there’s little room left for talk Cover my eyes I’m told But the bright turns my eyes to gold We’re better off around the oak trees In the park they’re watching over me With their arms I’m gonna build me A ship that will take me home Cover my eyes I’m told But the bright turns my eyes to gold Come the wind and the storm As the wills go to war on me And my eyes unfold As it comes to take hold
7.
Crossed over another state county line There are more to pass Than the ones we have left behind Every city starts to look just like the same Every street is only known by its little name If I were hidden in the trees Would you come looking there for me? If all these mountains folded over Would you come down digging deep? Do you know just how far it feels now When we are traveling these foreign fields? My legs shake; bumpy lines on figure eights My will breaks; one more just to think of you If I were hidden in the trees Would you come looking there for me? If all these mountains folded over Would you come down digging deep?

Ivory Black 04:53
The less and less I sing as my skin begins to creep For I recognize the truth about the permanence of me We are paper-thin, we’re tearing at the folds You’re living if you’re warm, but I'm just feeling Cold, but I’m not dead Carrying all these fears on wings of lead Coursed between the cracks Burn my bones to ivory black The less and less I sing as my mouth begins to feed On anything I find, and nothing that I need The moment I am sure I am sure to second guess I’ll never learn to fly if I never leave this nest The moment I am sure I am sure to second guess I’m not looking for a home I’m just looking for some rest And like a wooden frame with silk-screen for a hide From my pores I recreate the same old stupid lies And with my teeth and with my nails I’ll scratch off my designs Cold, but I’m not dead Carrying all these fears on wings of lead Coursed between the cracks Burn my bones to ivory black And like a wooden frame with silk-screen for a hide From my pores I recreate the same old stupid lies And with my teeth and with my nails I’ll scratch off my designs

Kaleidoscope 07:16
Just like the cause we were looking off too far And we’re fading I heard your words but the silence is preferred We were left to blame for reasons unexplained We’re still waiting, your voice still shaking At the end of the line, who will wait for you there? At the end of the line, who will wait for you there? I won’t tear away now, I won’t be afraid With what we’ve got we’re living or we’re not So let’s not waste it The dark that surrounds as we’re floating all around Makes you question everything; what is up or down? We’re still waiting, your voice still shaking At the end of the line, who will wait for you there? At the end of the line, who will wait for you there? I won’t tear away now, I won’t be afraid So long, we have left it now So long, so far away
