Rest Easy 02:35
All this work thats piled up Just a ladder to the sun Watch the wings begin to melt And the effort is undone And I wanna rest easy Give it your best they say But what happens when the best rest Comes at the end of days Is the body just a cage The mind has to escape Or does every piece get mended In a thundering of grace Start giving it all away I’m brushing off this dead weight I’m riding the summer breeze And dreaming bout you and me I’m living for more than stuff I sail when the waters rough I’m skipping on holiday Don’t care what the poets say I’m gonna rest easy (3x)

Deliver me from familiar I need more than free silver It keeps turning me green I just can’t get with the scene I wanna bring down the pillars These days nothing lasts forever No not even the ring I thought it was a permanent tether Not a ticket to the next best thing Deliver me from familiar I need more than free silver It keeps turning me green I just can’t get with the scene I wanna bring down the pillars I need something to stand on Theres no chance this is random Is an honest dollar anywhere In love and war, laissez-faire Someone give me that gold standard Can everything, mean anything Doesn’t nothing come from emptiness Who makes up the rules Who’s at large Have we tied up our lovers arms Can everything mean anything Doesn’t nothing come from emptiness Who determines truth Who’s in charge It can’t be us We sold the farm Deliver me from familiar I need more than free silver It keeps turning me green I just can’t get with the scene I wanna bring down the pillars I need something to stand on Theres no chance this is random Is an honest dollar anywhere In love and war, laissez-faire Someone give me that gold standard

Lets get out of the city Find a nice plot of land Sometimes the things to hold onto Won’t fit inside of your hands Is this what it takes Making good on a promise Gotta pull up the stakes Let’s go climb on the altar Lets go kick at the darkness Prove the monsters wrong Sometimes the thing that you can’t find Was hiding there all along Is this what it takes Making good on a promise Got a pool of mistakes Let’s go climb on the altar We’re on fire and wasting time We’re on fire and wasting time Birds on wire, they seem fine But we’re on fire Lets go walk on the water Forget about best laid plans Sometimes the thing that you need most You just cant quite understand Is this what it takes Making good on a promise Gotta pull up the stakes Let’s go climb on the altar Is this what it takes Making good on a promise Got a pool of mistakes Let’s go climb on the altar

Phosphene 04:42
Is this what I saw before I was born Buried in you like iron in earth What can I do to get this feeling restored Close my eyes And see light This feels like A child waking Up inside The first time I’m just like A child waking up What was it like there in the void Echoes alive, nothing destroyed Everything new, just a lingering voice Close my eyes And see light This feels like A child waking Up inside The first time I’m just like A child waking up When the pressure’s on It’s dark within A ray of light A form given And I have to know What’s really happening Where’s the world? Could this be it? Close my eyes And see light This feels like A child waking Up inside The first time I’m just like A child waking up

Whatever 02:43
Whatever flies off the shelf Whatever’s on the lapel Whatever staves off the bell Whatever Whatever swims in the tank Whatever hideous strength Whatever fattens the bank Whatever Whatever grows on the tree Whatever’s up on the screen You know it’s not what it seems Whatever What lies beneath the latest trend What supplies the hearts demand Are there means to greater ends Replace me with a better man Whatever rolls back the curse Whatever wakes up the dirt Whatever coins in the purse Whatever Whatever comes on the wind Whatever puts light within Whatever seeks out the sin Whatever Whatever makes me a friend Whatever opens the pen If you’re wondering when The sooner the better! Now more than ever Do whatever

Well I may not be an Oxford don But I’d like to think therefore I’m not Does a buffered bluff block the view Of thoughtless me incarnate you Who thought to put the cart before the horse Who fought who to muddle up the source Who knows how to pair the body with the mind Tell me now was that your idea or mine Well I may not be an Oxford don But I’d like to think therefore I’m not Does a buffered bluff block the view Of thoughtless me embodied you And I may not win a noble prize But dabbed with dirt I see the light The musings of the heart’s estate The premise of a glory weight Hold up now you got my head doin somersaults All that winter brings forth the summer thaws Aren’t we greater than just a sum of thoughts (We’re not merely) thinking things

Nightshades 04:03
Like the sun on the stairs Proof that you’re there in the shadows Turning pages Let me retrace my steps Whenever I went in the shadows You were waiting At the prime of life Am I robbed of years? I’m a shepherds tent Just a thread of tears As the dove that mourns or the lion’s roar And I can’t tell which I relate to more Like the sun on the stairs Proof that you’re there in the shadows Turning tables Let me retrace my steps Whenever I went in the shadows You were waiting

Windtalker 02:28
I heard a voice on the wind No I couldn’t say when It lit a fervor within Now I couldn’t pretend But I’m a delicate reed Don’t break the stem I’m professing belief Let the spirit descend In the sound asleep In the midst of the night When I’m in my dreams When the timing’s right On the temple floor When the day is done What you can’t ignore You can’t outrun Would you call me again Like a voice on the wind I’m a flickering flame Don’t snuff the wick Just call me again You know I’m listening in Decipher the depths I can’t comprehend

Notice me Noticing you I’d know this place If my eyes were glued So notice me Noticing you For a bout of fame I’d jump through hoops Another buzz another screen Another score of dopamine Does anybody know my name Obscurity’s a losing game The push and pull, no one’s immune Outside the spinning echo booth The world’s aglow beneath the moon If we would only notice it Notice me Noticing you I’d know that face With no password clue So notice me When something’s new Cuz it’s been years I’m still scrolling through Take me far from the madding crowd Search inside and find me out Cuz I’m not made of hardy stock And I can hardly help myself All my nights have alibis I’ve been climbing up the slide All my wounds are cauterized Is nothing left to mesmerize? I’m drowning all my senses here I’m drowning all my senses here You make breakers disappear But I’m drowning here Notice me Not missing you The world was hiding In plain view So notice me Out of the blue The feeds the same But the creatures new No “woe is me” Just solitude This parting gift’s Long overdue No this ain’t me To tell the truth I’d leave that place If I were you

I cannot keep up this pace When did all my days turn into a race Am I living or just passing away I need endurance, the kind that won’t fade Someone give me just a second to, Catch my breath, redeem this present tense The dials moving and the hands they keep on ticking But I once heard, "to die is gain", now that’s the ticket This here is not a dead sprint I’m dizzy and the wheels are spinning out I’m tired of the modern minute now Let’s push against the mayhem Maybe then we can pacify these doubts I’m letting up the pace and slowing down Don’t hurry to the exit The blur is coming into focus now Listen how a whisper makes a sound Hold steady for a moment Let’s marvel at the mystery, somehow There’s nothing left unforgiven now I’m tired, I’m so so tired I’m tired of the modern minute now
