Pulse

Look into the eyes of who you’re trying to fuck over
Do what your friends tell you to
Don’t make the same mistake
Don’t rip up that maze
There’s something you get right at the end
I’m OK
Everything all at once
You made me up
Feel my pulse starting to stop
You made me up
Dream my world is over this
Success/regret if you never met me
This is just a manic fit
I’d write 10,000 books for two what-ifs
Everything all at once
You made me up
Feel my pulse starting to stop
You made me up
Feel my pulse starting to stop

Distance

We’ve been arguing this since distance
Came between us & then made its bed
You know you’re not alone if you don’t want this
You haven’t been alone since the day we met
It’s been harder than this but I don’t know when
Words to comfort a man if I’ve ever heard them
You know you’re not alone if you don’t want this
You haven’t been alone since the day we met
I’ve never known something as much as I know this
I get the feeling you’ve shown me but I never noticed

Going through your phone
Looking for a constellation
Let the message go
We can let the sun evade us
Going through my home
Picture of embittered patience
Watch the window blow
Let the world move unabated
And you would know
(you were always on the edge of my mind)
You would know
You would know
Going through your phone
Looking for a constellation
Let the message go
We can let the sun evade us
Going through my home
Picture of embittered patience
Watch the window blow
Let the world move unabated
And you would know
(you were always on the edge of my mind)
You would know
You would know

Devices

I’m alive but not by my own devices
I’m alive but I’ve been trying
Kayla’s lying to my face
Eyes nowhere close to mine
I’m alive but not by my own devices
I’m alive but I’ve been trying
Kayla’s lying to my face
Eyes nowhere close to mine
Kayla’s lying to my face
I’m alive but not by my own devices

Put You Down
02:57
|

A masterpiece needs an eyewitness
I can’t be recovered
I don’t need forgiveness
Show me how you put me down
You’re always eager to please a crowd
The colors come and my fever runs
I thought this was CPR but you were sucking my thumb
In the back of a car like it was chewing gum
All I said was that I never want to put you down
I wasn’t making a promise
All I said was that I never want to put you down
But then I let you down
Unobstructed and unclouded judgment
Pillars of love in a fatal republic
Deeply and dearly held
Beginning to feel unwell
Many thanks for the arrangements
We didn’t like them
They’re in the basement
Next to the altars & saints
There’s something about that face you make
All I said was that I never want to put you down
I wasn’t making a promise
All I said was that I never want to put you down
I wasn’t making a promise then
All I said was that I never want to put you down
But then I let you down

Reeled
02:33
|

Cut the crew from the ship
Voicemail off
If I go any further alone
I’m afraid our paths might cross
I was reeled in by the tap of a glass
Really I think that I’d remember that I
Realized I didn’t get invited again
I guess that’s real life
You can take it or leave high
Water under the bridge
All I see is ice
It’s as still as sticks
Opaque where it shines
I was reeled in by the tap of a glass
Really I think that I’d remember that I
Realized I didn’t get invited again
I guess that’s real life
You can take it or leave high
I guess that’s real life
You can take it or leave high

Unkind

Weird trip for a violin or a car
I know it’s my turn to say
“Thank you, Sir, are you always this instant?”
But now I’m out of my depth
I’m finished decorating
Why you always gotta make me out to be unkind?
Why you always gotta make me out to be unkind?
Hot date with the pretty face & the lock
No atmospheric change
Or receding posture in place
But now I’m out of my depth
I’m finished decorating
Why you always gotta make me out to be unkind?
Why you always gotta make me out to be unkind?
Why you always gotta make me out to be unkind?
