Pulse 02:45
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 02:52
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

YWK 03:08
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 02:03
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
7.
Unkind 02:46
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?
