Why Can't I Slow Down?

What is hope?
Why am I here at all?
Why can't I see you?
Why can't I say...?
I want out
I wanna be the one who stays
But I don't want to be left though
I don't want to be left though
Why can't I slow down?
Long enough to hear what you're saying?
When I wave you off
When I'm such a rush
You're worth more than that feeling
What is hope?

The Thick of It
04:18
|

|
When you're in the thick of it
Nothing feels sure
Can't even find your hand
in front of your face
Say you're lost off the grid
Don't know where you are
Don't know where you fit
and the stars are lost overhead
Last year I was right where you are
And your voice lead me out
Your voice lead me out
Your voice lead me out
Your voice lead me out
I hope you can hear me
When you're in the thick of it
When you're in the thick of it
I hope you can hear me

If Time
04:42
|

Tower of dishes
Over the drain
the silence it thickens
its hard to explain
if time is a fast car
then who cut the brakes?
dust on the blades
of that old ceiling fan
circle like buzzards
far overhead
if time is a lost cause
then who is to blame?
All her fine China has never been used
stacked up so perfect with every excuse
if time is a lion then who let it loose?
Crosswords are getting harder to solve
stuck in that chair for God knows how long?
if time is the edge we're all gonna fall
Now in the evenings
the same every night
its Wheel of Fortune
in the fast fading light
maybe time is an illusion
maybe it's time to put up a fight?

Some Secret Joy
03:14
|
|||
|
When you were born
you came in crying
ever since you've been trying
to laugh it off, the pain of dying
every single day
Maybe you'll get lucky find the door
swim the shadows reach the shore
sweating sorrow out like toxins
making room for some secret joy
for some secret joy
When you were born
you came in crying
ever since you've been trying
to laugh it off, the pain of dying
every single day

Shoulder
04:31
|
|||
|
The quiet of the air conditioner
The stillness of your room
Sudden revelation
came on you way too soon
The ignorance you had treasured
your brand new borrowed lung
the substance and the callousness
of every race well run
Maybe I'm getting older
Maybe I'm stuck in my ways
Come put your head on my shoulder
all day
Thought I had it figured out,
but there's not much you can plan
when you wake up and realize your
holding a losing hand
And all my friends are dying and our
dreams are next to burn
But I want die a stubborn fool
Honey, help me learn
Maybe I'm getting older
Maybe I'm stuck in my ways
Come put your head on my shoulder
all day
Feels like I'm going down
One more time around
Maybe I can find my way
I see your smile
I hear your heart
I feel it oh, its time to change
I know I'm getting older
I know I'm stuck in my ways
But come put your head on my shoulder
all day

To Be Found
04:16
|
|||
|
Sometimes, I think about how fragile we are
How close to simply toppling over I am
All I want is to be kind
All I want is to be named
to be found
Your eyes hold the same kind of fear
an hour of wolves and shattered shields
But all we want is to be kind
All we want is to be named
to be found

One tv is silent
the other is too loud
24 hour news
when will the cycle end?
They us turn a circle
before we sat down
When a room opens up
she says that it hurts
the clock clicks in silence
time feels absurd
I notice she painted her toes black
She's got a bracelet now
perfect barcode placement wow
as if she's for sale
she's not
Now they're taking her blood
without really asking
not much of a choice
she's so nervous she's laughing
July 2020 at the ER
I became convinced
every single human being is utterly
exhausted and...
Hell is lit with fluorescent lights
Hell is lit with fluorescent lights
She wants a burger
sends me her order
every afternoon
2 hours a day is all I get
it's just so cruel
I've been painting
in the basement
to get my anger out
therapy in colors
splashed about
I need you to come home
I need you to come home
I need you to come home

The Last Thing I Heard
04:36
|
|||
|
After practice
we'd sit in the car
talk about where we were going
maybe we'd end up on tour
I've tried to reach out
I know you've got a lot on your plate
At least that's what I say
when you don't answer
We used to trade cds
back when the world was smaller
I think I owe you something
I can't name...I'm sorry
The last thing I heard
was you were looking for a drum set
your only real regret
that you ever stopped playing
The last thing I heard
was you were looking for a drum set
your only real regret
that you ever stopped playing
I went chasing a song on my own

Love On The Other Side
02:41
|
|||
|
I have no name for you
a name for who you truly are
I can see you sometimes
or at least I want to
We all circle what we love
Will I circle you forever?
One day I'll swing too close
and I'll burn up
One day the drum beat will stop,
but will the music end?
We all have such fear of what comes next
is there love on the other side of death?
One day the drum beat will stop,
but tell me does the music end?
We all have such fear of what comes next
is there love at the other side of death?
I'm a moth I'm made of dust
Something in me is made of fire
I'm attracted to your flame I'm burning now
If a key is all bent up, the lock it will not open
Unbend me till I fit, open wide my door
