Dream Sequence 03:23
lyrics
buy track
waking alone to the rain at my window buried in blankets and decorative pillows kick aside sunbeams and fall down the stairs you took my car to work so I'm stranded in paradise stare the door down, can't make myself go outside staying in isn't quite what it used to be it's a dream sequence behind my eyes inner child pleading: “tell me I'm gonna be fine” curled up on the floor in a space where a couch should be we're saving up but it's going to take a few months drink two cups of coffee before I eat anything watch the rain fall, try to write anything living large, not large as it used to be now it's a dream sequence behind my eyes inner child pleading: “tell me I'm gonna be fine”

Trick 04:01
lyrics
buy track
who’s been playing that trick on us every night? horror films in reverse on your weary eyes painting stars on the backs of mine yellow accent wall, fresh snow in the yard put a brand new floor over my tell-tale heart lay me down and rip me apart sit with yourself make space to be well subsumed by the longest day hollowed out in an honest way basement after hours, coffee in the dark spin the yarn until you untie that knot I wish you could be everything you want intrusive redirection or instructive self-reflection? imagine just driving away into the bright day

Semaphore 03:38
lyrics
buy track
we arrive midscene desperate fists grabbing the mist of dreams the day breaks loudly all around me what could that be? new light pours in piling up against itself across my floor and then a thought I thought I'd outrun comes waving its semaphore it says: "wake up and see the life you should lead's behind you now." wool socks pulled high one full thermos and two souls to fortify the echo of unanswered questions pioneers of the human mind not too far now we crest a hill, mark a hard-won mile down against the endless sky it's been sung before but if I had to die tonight... ...I'd rather wait here and see the way things could be if we pressed on the aching in my chest against all reason was for the best now sleeping soundly and dreaming proudly of what may come next

Sour Grapes 04:19
lyrics

I'm sorry I know what that one's about I can taste the sour grapes spilling from your mouth in a backyard in June when you needed us to we did what we could to listen I'm sorry we slept in the lion's den sang for our scraps, how they made you beg bleary-eyed drive: 91, 95 nearly there, I can just see the exit I'm sorry I walked to the edge with you and turned on my heel while you went straight through those burlington nights roughed up all our insides shooting star on the lake and I missed it bar mirror betrays the scene the flight and the freeze there’s no fight left inside of me the same til we’re not there’s a line I won’t cross I'm sorry I know what that one's about I can taste the sour grapes spilling from your mouth in a backyard in June when you needed me to well, I did what I could to listen
