Slow Collapse

if we knew what the future held
we wouldn't wait for sleep
we're captives to our callings and
the potential we won't reach
you've got to put it behind you
you've got to put it behind you
a momentary lapse in
the slow collapse we've put each other through
the only thing that dawn means now is
the ending to a dream
the death of our affection brings
a candor i don't need
you've got to put it behind you
and i'll put it behind me, too
a momentary lapse in
the slow collapse where we found each other
even though i've kept your trust
the sun's already set for us
i understand what's healthy
i understand what's real
i understand the depths we've plumbed
and what it takes to heal

Don't Come Home

we started on our own
the morning light keeps shining all through you
pretending like you're home
i'm dressing you in attitude
you're slowly falling, you can't see me
my eyes are open, but they're burning me
we'll take the highway home...
why can't you just ask again
we need to do those things, like before
habits of an unmarked friend
i have nothing left to adore
you're slowly falling, you can't see me
me eyes are open but they're burning me
we'll take the highway home...

Like Drowning

the plain, green dress she wore
a search for grace in imitation
to make them pay attention
before the bloom was gone
afternoons tied to the willow
or spying through the window
left behind, "care of the water"
there's no flash before her eyes
and it doesn't look like drowning
so never mind, never mind
to think what could have been
all the letters left unanswered
a promise unremembered
left behind, "care of the water"
there's no flash before her eyes
and it doesn't look like drowning
so never mind, never mind
whispering "care of the water"
there's no sadness in her eyes
and it doesn't look like drowning
so never mind, never mind

Currents
03:14
|

|
like open shine
free from the sounds that take me inside
and ask you to come by
wish you would know how
i've tried, but i can't stay
i'll ask you to come back
seen in dreams for days
space grows at home and moves
in the shadows that steep in your bed
whenever this all has shown you a meaning
and place with no end
wish you would know how
i've tried but i can't stay
ask you to come back
seen in dreams for days
it's the currents, alive and alone
like our hollow wishes and tone
blame the changes that keep you away
in a city that begs you to
stray
