Spine

Oh you know
I feel bad I do
Hesitate, hesitate
From the things that you want
Pull apart from the walls
Built up around your heart
This is it, this is it
This is what you came for
Take the chance, be the bold
Brave soul and tear it apart
Hesitate, hesitate
From the things that you are
Criticize alibis
And they'll tear you apart
Is this it, is this it
Is this what you look for
Admit defeat, call retreat,
Get your ass off the floor
You've got half the spine it takes
And I don't have the time to play
You keep running like you're scared
You've tripped up you're unprepared
Falling faster into dark
You look up and see a spark
But it's only a mirage
Running waters drown you
Oh you know
I feel bad I do

Guardian

I hurt myself again today
But I didn’t want to tell you
I didn’t want to feel your eyes like that
I didn’t want your mind to find those places
I’m falling, crumbling to the ground
Look at me now
If the pain isn’t pain enough
If the dream doesn’t feel your touch
If a lie is what fills your cup
Know that I’ll never be enough
You know I got your letters
Every single one you sent me
The poem and the lipstick kisses too
Know that every single simple word you composed
Meant all the world to me
You've got to know
You know-
I’m falling, crumbling to the ground
Look at me now
Tell me I'm wrong - my guardian
Tell me you're right - my guardian
You know I can't sleep
No I can't sleep tonight
Tell me I'm wrong - my guardian
Tell me you're right - my guardian
You know you don't have to leave
No not tonight

Feel Alright
03:09
|

|
The sun is in my eyes
And I'm squinting
I hold my hand up
To block it's rays
As I begin to focus
In on you
A see your smile as
Wide as mine
And I feel alright
You take a photo of the both of us
Then we laugh at our expressions
As stoic as a painting
As painful as the sea
I say something
And feel embarrassed
You laugh and I laugh too
And because of you
I feel alright
And I feel alright
And you just might,
Say something wrong
But you'll feel alright too
Because I'm here with you
I feel alright

There was a time when we got high and
Laid around my room at night our
Favorite records spun through our ears
And without fear I held you there in
My arms softly tapping your arm
To the rhythms of our favorite songs you’d
Sing along to first day of my life
And I thought all was fine
I hadn’t learned self deprecation yet
You knew that I was oblivious
And such a mess with no priorities set
And here I thought we were kismet
Here I thought we ruled the world
Here I thought I knew what I wanted
But I knew nothing then
And I know nothing now
I just want to sit
And talk about
How time has passed
And everyone’s changed
Look into your eyes
And see a different shade-
Than the blue that
I am remembering
If I hadn’t shut down
I’d be better off now
But better never gets easier
That’s my problem
I’m stuck now as a dreamer

Late
03:18
|
|||
|
Sailing down the street because I'm always late for something
Anything to keep the excitement from drowning in insecurity
There's something about the music low in my ears as the cars go by
Two wheels affixed to a frightened fuck fixated on nothing
I told you, you could live forever.
You said
"I'm just trying to make it to 25"
Free falling past the skylines of my 'second thought' dreams
Smoke billowing from my last attempt at making something good for myself
"Next time," I say, "Next time it's going to be completely different."
But at the end of the day, I know I'm just a disappointment.

Golden
04:34
|

|
I've been looking for beautiful things
When all the beauty in the world is right in front of me
I'll take you outside
In the sunshine you look golden
Paint a breeze through the trees and smile
I'll hold you in my arms
And in a moment I am frozen
How I could ever let you go I don't know
Take a moment to collect myself
When I'm not with you man, I feel like hell
When is all this going to change
I hope my son never feels my pain
I will wait if I have to wait
If I have to wait to see you
I will wait if I have to wait
If I'm made to wait
But I can't wait to see you
What's it like to get so old
Man I wish I knew but I was never told
All I had was a father dying slow
And a mother who wanted to grow
How do you learn to care for yourself
Is it from your family or something else
I suppose you learn from your parents
Or grow on in spite of them

Easy
01:36
|
|||
|
It's easy
To get lost
It's easy
To get lost in the space between your thoughts
It's easy
To feel afraid
Of the broken things you say
And the way they make you feel ashamed
Oh it's easy
To hit the ground
Again and again it will continue to happen
If you don't learn that you need to run
Believe me
When I say
That every thought I spoke was half conjured
By my broken sense of
Feeling so afraid
Anxious to the point of seizing
Please bare with me I believe you
See me
I made it here
I'm not so late to the party
Yes this is the present that I brought for you

Afraid
04:30
|
|||
|
It's like an instinct emotion
In the back of your head
And now you're scared
That you do feel
The way you want to
It's like an instant commotion
In the pit of your stomach
And you feel afraid
To admit that you are here
Go to sleep
And dream about me
I swear to god
That I will be there when you wake
In the end of summer
I will live on your skin
In your lungs
On your lips
In the lines of your smile
On your finger tips
And in your eyes
I can't be afraid
I can't be afraid of what I'm capable of
And it breaks
It breaks my heart
Just to know that you are waiting for me

Always Alive
02:42

Where the hell have
You been today
Your face looks just like
You just lost your life
Listen to me
I've got something
To tell you
If you feel beaten, bruised, or broken
Just know the road is long and bright
Where the hell have
You been today
Your face looks just like
You just lost your life
It’s life then death
Birth then rest, you know
You made it out alive
And Ezra's just fine
You're stronger than you know
It goes to show
You made it out alive
You made it out alive
You made it out alive
You made it

Daydream
02:51

I know, I know I’m not the guy
The guy you look to for a daydream
But maybe I could be the guy
The guy that holds you in the evenings
The truth is I was so afraid
Not that you’d say yes, but you’d stay less
I know that my anxieties
Fight with me, lately they’ve been winning
But sometimes I deserve a win too
There you are with sun-dressed skin
Living life like you always dreamed to
Looking for the beauty in everything
There's nothing stopping you now
Don’t let go and don’t give in
I’m right here, I’ll always be here for you
No distance will shut me out
As long as you want me, I want you too
My friend, you know how I adore you

What it Takes
02:54
|

|
I don’t need the sunlight
I just need your blue eyes
Even when my mind’s not right
I feel like I am whole inside
Maybe it’s the way I treat myself
Maybe I’m no good at self-love
As long as I have you around
I fight through all my bullshit
If you want it enough, you’ll figure it out
If you need it enough, you’ll do what takes
Maybe I don’t need the city lights
Maybe I could use a mountain drive
Sweetness hold my hand so tight
Today we’ll explore our own nature
Maybe you made a mistake
It may have been poor taste
Could it be your hands
Upon my face
You’ve got to do what it takes
