Figure This Out

Been asleep for years on end
Spent too much time trying to wake the dead
Caged birds sing for freedom forlorn
This house is unkempt and weeds come up from the floorboards
It's true, the people that I love are the ones I've put through hell
Pages torn, body bruising
Will I ever burn bright without diffusing
I still hear that lovely sound
Comes straight through my pores and reverberates me inside out
Trading blows with myself
A subtle reminder I can't be somebody else
If you don't say it out loud it's not true
The thought just dangles in your head like a rope lowered to save you
When you tug it comes crashing down
Now I'm left here all alone to figure this out
Now I'm waking up and I'm cold
Have we got to the part where you pick up the phone
I say "I'm sorry I've been so detached"
I'm a stranger in this vessel
Can't find my way back

Knight of Cups

I trace your frame
You're out of view
The open window shows a night that starts to bloom
We start to shake
You fade away into the streetlights
and I call you by your name
I should stop coming around again
Oh, I'm so sorry for everything
And there's nothing that can bring this back to life this time
I can't retrace
I've missed my mark
I blame myself because I pushed you into the dark
Tangled and frayed
It's your turn to grow now
I'll leave some room for you right here in the ground
How do I stop from going under
Oh, I'm so sorry for everything
And there's nothing that can bring this back to life
This time

Housewarming
03:55
|

|
Somewhere in the darkness I am buzzing
Stumbling half asleep
Walking through the walls of an old house
It's become quite comforting
Sing into my mouth "I really love you"
I need to hear those words
I've been getting dizzy from the spinning
So I curl myself inwards
Somewhere I am sleeping in your garden
We're patiently awaiting spring
Make ourselves a new home in the flowers
Cleanse ourselves in the breeze
Sing into my mouth, I really love you
I need to hear those words
Find a way to keep it all together
I'll find the perfect words

Pull
03:37
|
|||
|
Under the weight of your moon, pulled in with the tides
Washed away on foreign soil, where everything else hides
You are changing your ways
Pulling apart your head
I don't want to lose you
Feeling the weight of your shadow, and all that's hidden in it's wake
Hallowed love between breast and all the heavy breaths we take
I am feeling desperate
Pulling apart my heart
But I still feel the shape of you
and I don't want to lose you

Eggshells
03:35
|
|||
|
You felt the walls closing in
A soft eggshell white
They were shouting limericks
So you closed both your eyes
Did you get what you wanted
You're unsteady and anxious
Housed in a wiry frame
So you close both your eyes
You're left standing alone once they've pushed you away
Ugly flesh wrapped around a gaunt face
Disappointing proof that I've become the reason why things come undone
I've been picking up after myself
Found home in a nice cracked eggshell
Something that I don't want to lose
So I hold on tight until I start to bruise
I can't breathe with it smothering me
No I can't breathe
