A Little Weight 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Karma’s back in style Might just winter for a while Let the snow melt the long way around it It’s a sink that happens over time It’s a hollowed out paradigm That don’t care a damn thing about it Said, “that’s nice of you to warn me But why now?” If we can’t predict the morning Then why now? Just pay the bill and let’s go Toss some dirt onto the pile Sure, it might just be denial But it don’t mean it’s the wrong way about it So maybe whistle past the tombstones Play act at being not alone But it won’t change a damn thing about it

Coastline 03:13
lyrics
buy track
As the coastline is swallowed by the sea You lament all the ways it couldn’t be But the facts are in and fractalling I’d learn to swim, but that’s just me Count all the ways its sold from underneath Count the buzzards overheard encircling The fix is in, but you’re saccharine Dreaming of a past that we’ll never see Leave it, or at least don’t lose your head over it now It ain’t so small that it won’t slow if we hesitate somehow Leave it, or at least don’t lose your head over it now Oh, to breathe and find forgiveness as our time is running out It’s all set, believe it

Safely Away 03:46
lyrics
buy track
They say that snow is on the way Echoing the way down That highway’s been on the blink Don’t fret it’s washed away now The upper hand’s been losing sway Bet the markets are any day now Overbooked the stay, I think Let’s hurry on our way now Slough it off, it’s not so hard You’re getting caught down in the weeds again Eyes closed, sure the days seem dark Binding chaff up with the wheat again And if the road feels long Pray for finding sleep again And just wave the whole thing off Like some bad dream Tucked safely away from thought Countless are the ways to make A knot into a bind now The river’s bound to breach its banks But keep the ducks all in a line now What’s the price of crude today? What’s the boldness of the lie now? Calculate your vast estate And negotiate with time now You’re running out of time now

Pay It No Mind 05:18
lyrics
buy track
Don’t fall apart, it’s only time Unwinding now, just pay no mind The heart of it is too unkind And it hardly matters anyway It can all unspool so easily With news that buckles at the knees Still working living fatally Hardly feeling anything If heaven isn’t calling then so what? So are we saving it up Or are we wasting it all A little reminder of what’s waiting to fall So are we saving it up Or are we wasting it all I didn’t remember to breathe at all

Face The Night 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Counting the ways You’d have won it all back If not for sheer fate And stepping on all those cracks I’d time it for space Or at least a slow down But you’re deep in the waves Swearing that you won’t drown And the water feels fine Counting the days 'Til it all adds up Like some secret game Gleaned ‘cross a chasm Mind now the ways It’ll all just take, take, take And pine for the days We could just look away When the water felt fine Cannot erase it Can't find our way back to the start Ain't it amazing The speed of a sound to the heart And I don't know why These ships keep wrecking on the rocks Just a matter of time Before it all fell apart How do you face the night? I don’t know where to start

Looms 03:13
lyrics
buy track
“Come on, baby, give it a rest for a bit You’re wearing me right into the ground I know you think you’re thinking for both of us But hun, I’m around.” Carve another notch in the century And though the water’s rising up from the sound Why think it with any real economy When I’m just around? “Do you always have to make such a test of it As if the world will just cease when you’re gone? I know you think I’m laughing for both of us But hun, know you’re wrong.” It’s harder knowing most of it’s meant to be As the smoke rolls in thicker than clouds And turns the sky a sickly shade And asks, what can’t be allowed? And sure, the stars are out tonight And sure, I see ‘em And sure, the flowers bloom And sure, I breathe, but man My mind’s still racing through it And man, the darkness looms

Hard Lines 04:24
lyrics
buy track
Dine upon the earth Spoiled just desserts, and on Turned the water into wine Bled the crops dry, and so on By right and by decree Our trash out to the sea, come on Let’s set upon the land Build towers in the sand, and so on Waving past hard lines, after all Waiting for the beauty that was to crumble and fall Hard lines, after all What’s yours cannot be mine So time’s become your tithe, n’est pas? Call it a misdeed And tip the scales with ease, c’est ça? A pox on foreign soil A taxless form of toil, hurrah Let’s set upon the land There’s gold beneath the sand and, so: on

Hard Feelings 03:13
lyrics
buy track
Close your eyes and take What ought to be enough now But god it’s getting hard now And it’s never going to change “The carbon we can figure out Without mounting up our all out Just trust us with the fall out And let’s not worry about the blame.” “Just how many times must I thank me for you? Working hard to capitalize, let me thank me for you Hard feelings can linger, don’t you lift a pretty finger Just how many times must I..?” “Sure we’re leading you astray But let’s not worry about that right now And let’s not focus on the past now When there are brighter lights than these.” We’ve been breathing smoke all day Guess it’s ash that’s on the winds now The flames themselves aren’t far now Can feel them flicker on the breeze

Float 04:29
lyrics
buy track
Death comes for everything we love And I swear I’ve been living with both of my hands up While you promise to think it if push comes to shove But not until then Sleep comes, but mostly it does not Instead, I spin this riddle waiting for the flood Should batten down the hatches to seal what’s from above And wait until then Waiting for the heavens to take control Waiting for the animals laid low Take your children, hide them beneath your cloak And hope this ancient vessel still may float
