The Great Unweight
03:48
|

To the top of Signal Hill
Bringing what you’ve carried all along
What not been spoken of
What daylight thought would never come
For buried far beneath
Were things not sought nor fit to bind
What you’re looking for
So far from what you are
Bring the day the grace you hold
Oh wishful disposition
Free your body cleanse your mind
Oh heavy inanition
Hush the growl of sunken time
Bring the day the grace you hold
Shaken to the bone
What are you waiting for me to say
This ain’t a simple clause
Or a simple way
Bring the day the grace you hold

Not Today, Not Tomorrow
04:15

I’m not comin' home today
I’ve got too much I wanna say
And I’m afraid that if I start, I won’t stop
And what if I get all choked up
Or turn my tone against my luck
What if I say somethin’ I don’t mean
Please, not today, not tomorrow
I’m not comin’ home tonight
I’ve got no strength to hold my fight
But I can’t let my guard don’t around you
And I’m not comin’ home tomorrow
Not lookin' for more smiles to borrow
I’m tired of hiding myself underground
Please, not today, not tomorrow
Steppin' over sidewalk cracks
They’re my canyons, they’re the facts
And if they trip me up, I’ll fall way down
So keep myself on level ground
Don’t ask about then, don’t ask about now
Just leave me alone today and tomorrow
Please, not today, not tomorrow
‘Cause I’m not comin’ home today
I’m not comin’ home today
I’m not comin’ home

I Am, I Am
03:13
|

I am the burden of a busy day
When nothing’s falling in its place
And whether I go now or whether I stay
I am the burden of a busy day
I am the guest who extended their stay
Nothing I could do or say
Will depart me from this part I play
Of being the guest who extended their stay
Do you need me to go away
Just say the word and I’ll obey
I’ll toughen up, I’ll be okay
Even if you need me to go away

Tell Me Once
04:53
|
|||
Moving on up, moving on out
Picturing a different day now
One with a little more free time
One with more space to lose my mind
And if I could collect our moments
I would store them in my pockets
Pull them out when I am lonely
Hold them like the way you hold me
Tell me once, no tell me twice
Tell me everything will be alright
Sit me up, no sit me down
Tell me everything will turn around
Tell me once, no tell me twice
Tell me everything will be alright
Sit me up, no sit me down
I was listening real well when you said I would be fine
In four or five or six months time
So I gambled my feelings, I slept through the day
Dismissing the questions that echoed each day
Tell me once, no tell me twice
Tell me everything will be alright
Sit me up, no sit me down
Tell me everything will turn around
Tell me once, no tell me twice
Tell me everything will be alright
Sit me up, no sit me down
I don’t put weight on the present
A moment off so soon to past tense
The future pulling me in line
While I’m waiting for the world to unwind
Tell me once, no tell me twice
Tell me everything will be alright
Sit me up, no sit me down
Tell me everything will turn around
Tell me once, no tell me twice
Tell me everything will be alright
Sit me up, no sit me down

All You Got
03:05
|
|||
Burning up and burning through
What’s this got to do with you
Say it’s your job, no it’s your fault
And it’s on me for getting caught
The world don’t mind, the world don’t care
It’s just you that’s giving me a scare
Think about then and think about now
And tell me the differences that you found
I close my eyes and pray that I’m worth it
I’ll keep them here, I’ll keep them close
The parts of me you loathe the most
I worked so hard to process this
The falling of a goodnight kiss
I close my eyes and pray that I’m worth it
Giving me flak for the things I believe in
Giving me all you got
I close my eyes and pray that I’m worth it

So Far Behind
03:23
|
|||
The scatterings across my desk
A sign that I’m not at my best
Will take me as their prisoner
Until I fill their requests
And even when I’m on my knees
They throw their heads back and laugh at me
I lay my forehead in my hands
I lay my time in their demands
How did I fall so far behind
I taking what’s in front of me
I’m taking all that I could be
I’m doing all that I can do
I’m doing what you’d want me to
I’m doing what you’d want me to
Am I doing what you’d want me to
How did I fall so far behind
I’m evergrown; I’m ever growing old
How did I fall so far behind

Passing Act
04:01
|
|||
It hurt that I knew
Knew that you weren’t telling me the truth
Trying to protect my fragile youth
With your pocket full of secrets
You left me to wonder
Wonder what was hiding in your heart
The thickest and the strongest parts
Cracking under pressure
Fair enough my friend
Some things are better left unsaid
But goodness knows the fact
That time will tell the weight of a passing act
I worry, oh I tremble
Searching every corner of my head
Could it have been something that I said
That’s brought you down this far
Fair enough my friend
Some things are better left unsaid
But goodness knows the fact
That time will tell the weight of a passing act

Old Shoreline
03:05
|

Follow me down to the old shoreline
Cause I’m getting ready to leave this coast behind
With a little bit of heaven and a little bit of hell
Oh I’m gonna have a story to tell
Climb the stairs to the second floor
Make my way through the corridor
My footsteps bounce against the walls
One foot up while the other falls
It’s funny how it always seems to happen this way
I find myself walking back the other way
Follow me down to the old shoreline
Cause I’m getting ready to leave this coast behind
With a little bit of heaven and a little bit of hell
Oh I’m gonna have a story to tell
Maybe I left long ago
With a bit of you and me in tow
Cause I’m half here and you’re half gone
It’s been a while since we’ve carried on
And now another moment’s passed me by
I am an echo of another time
Follow me down to the old shoreline
Cause I’m getting ready to leave this coast behind
With a little bit of heaven and a little bit of hell
Oh I’m gonna have a story to tell
