Planes 03:20
lyrics

Where do emotions come from What do they tell us about our lives I just can’t be mad Our common enemy is the truth So put on my shoes and I’ll put on your shoes too Living a lie don’t feel like it use to Can you let them go, long enough to compromise I get to find, me I get to align, me The truth is in your face You don’t have to face it Or even acknowledge that it’s there but it’s there If it’s one for the record Then put it on the record When it comes time you may not be ready for it And when that time comes, hold steady and stand your ground But you’re not alone, we’re in this together Just look around, everyone’s rooting for you I get to find, me I get to align, me

Lost in the Weeds 02:14
lyrics

We get lost in the trees We get lost in the weeds You and me We get lost so easily Tromping round these leaves We get lost in the breeze We get lost in the ease You humor me We might get lost easily But were not lost, we’re right where we should be Just focus on the ceiling Let the time pass by Wish away the evenings But when the time strikes twelve Let the time strike twelve We’ll say it got lost in the mail There’s a lot to see There’s a lot to be Incredibly We forgot the cost of leaving The world right there, while we’re out careening Just focus on the ceiling Let the time pass by Wish away the evenings But when the time strikes twelve Let the time strike twelve We’ll say it got lost in the mail Could it be the cost was free Scope out this brand new shiny ivory And just get lost in the weeds Just focus on the ceiling Let the time pass by Wish away the evenings But when the time strikes twelve Let the time strike twelve We’ll say it got lost in the mail

If By Chance 04:00
lyrics
buy track
Don’t hold back Breath it in Like you’re under attack Fight long enough To walk away As if unscathed If by chance You loosen up Loosen up Long enough To lighten up Could you see If it stacks up High enough Far enough To rise above Simple things Aren’t simple things Could it be that easy Casual uncertainty How can it boil down

Come To 01:30
lyrics

How do you know when it’s good How do you know when it’s not, good How do you know you can bet on a thing If the clock strikes 12 and it starts turning It’s the patterns you see as they keep recurring They come back haunting and they keep returning Come to find that you’ll never learn Come to find that you’ll never learn Come to find that you’ll never learn Yeah, you’ll come to find… How do you know when it’s gone How do you know when it’s not, gone How do you know when you’re left on the ropes Tied to the tracks or tied to the post Read all the cards, and you survey the stars Measure your scars and hop all the bars Come to find that you’ll never learn Come to find that you’ll never learn Come to find that you’ll never learn Until your reaping what you’ve sown Gather all your wits Gather all your friends wits Surrender make amends Come to find that you’ll start to learn Come to find that you’ll start to learn Come to find that you’ll start to learn And your reaping what you’ve sown

On EMpathy 03:26
lyrics

My mood, eludes to the things you do I’m tied, inside Not programmed to choose So I hide, my mind just below the altitude Living according to my strengths, then it rains You’d think I’m insane, then I break All the rules of the trade, recalibrate I try, to oblige At a level that I can’t describe Strong ties, to the skies Like bugs chasing bugs in disguise But I can’t die, not even the slightest It’s not in my bits or my circuits Living according to my strengths, then it rains You’d think I’m insane, then I break All the rules of the trade, recalibrate This is not what they meant by temperate The pressure to change isn’t atmospheric The claws in your tones don’t scratch my surface Loss of life isn’t close to an inch of ice It’s not fight, it’s not might That pulls at the strings of a kite It’s late nights, late insights Empty chairs, pale moonlight Lonely skies, starry nights The only thing left by my side

Decisions, Decisions 03:34
lyrics
buy track
Are these decisions focused with precision Like calculated gestures that break all kinds of records I question my ability To question what is and not best for me I question my heart And I question my sanity Cuz I’m living a lie Trapped in a disguise I live in a hole That I’ve dug my whole life I question me Where are all the soldiers that follow all our orders Manage our prescriptions and rebuild all our bridges I question my stories but living them is transforming me I question my reality Because my truth hasn’t found me I’m living a lie Trapped in a disguise I live in a hole That I’ve dug my whole life Cuz I’ve built up these walls Cuz I’ve hung these shades Cuz I’ve salted this wound Cuz I’ve made an escape Cuz my truth hasn’t found me I’m living a lie Trapped in a disguise I live in a hole That I’ve dug my whole life I question me

Paralysis 03:48
lyrics
buy track
I don’t know why You don’t know why too Paralyzed by choice But we have to choose, to choose Second guess yourself It could be the cost you won’t survive unless You recalibrate that hesitation memory I’m bursting at the seams Waiting for the system To send me what I need So I can come around And process all this energy When it’s so hard to read Lost inside my head There goes my head, again Friend or foe the cost Could cost my head, instead Second guess yourself It could be the cost you won’t survive unless You recalibrate that hesitation memory I’m bursting at the seams Waiting for the system To send me what I need So I can come around And process all that energy When it’s so hard to read Slow down Recount Rewind, breath, don’t hold your breath Come ‘round Rebound, Select, choose and make your way Grasp and hold the reins You have control, control Wish away the pain Watch it unfold, unfold I’m bursting at the seams Waiting for the system To send me what I need So I can come around And process all this energy When it’s so hard to read

Carbon 03:35
lyrics
buy track
We’ve started, to bleed Second to none, living Alone we are deceived, Writhing with envy Not more, than we think To take apart, this machine To absorb the disease, Seething unending Do we know what it means to let go of our leash To let go of our greed and our enemies They are so hard, to read Put your heart on your sleeve Travel in your dreams To places known but still new to me Do we know what it means to let go of our leash To let go of our greed and our enemies Breath it in, all the way back to the start Win-Win, to seed your love and your heart Reimagine, that we hold the keys, from falling apart Messages we leave, we must believe (what they mean) Do we know what it means to let go of our leash To let go of our greed and our enemies Do we know what it means to let go of our leash To let go of our greed and our enemies

Decompress 02:35
lyrics
buy track
How to let go, of a life That won’t let go, for life Why do we hold, so tight Let go just for the night We hear those messages As they come and they go We try to pay attention But sometimes we don’t We don’t try at all, no We don’t try at all So we value what we measure Do we measure what we value And we claw, and kick and scream While we hope, hope and dream But the world won’t leave us be Until we right the wrongs we see Is there fuel, for a change Could we be fuel, for a change When the signs poke through Then we’ll see, or we won’t Did we forget We’re not on our own We are not alone at all, no No, we are not alone at all So we value what we measure Do we measure what we value And we claw, and kick and scream While we hope, hope and dream But the world won’t leave us be Until we right the wrongs we see

To Be Brave 02:23
lyrics
buy track
I thought I saw the afternoon But it just wouldn’t come through Coffee opened up the door And little did I know, oh no If you’re making tidal waves With a hurricane brain Perhaps you finally dropped a plate And it wasn’t made of papier mâché Would another record do Could it be the light is skewed Did someone strike just down the hall Or the shingles might be loose If you’re making tidal waves With a hurricane brain Perhaps you finally dropped a plate And it wasn’t made of papier, papier, papier I found a way to mitigate it I found a way to land the plane if I found a way to hibernate it I found a way if only, only I could find the fear and face it I could find the brave and be it I could wind the clock and beat it And I could watch the world but leave it, but leave it, All behind
