Deal Breakers
04:38

While walking by one place I know
It took me years, but now it shows that I hardly ever listened well.
But still, your voice remained where I fell.
And all of the glory and shame that I’d seen in two decades
Pulled me up, pinned me down, and you’ll forget I was around.
And we were broken, fell apart, like deal breakers in the dark.
I can see why someone would close the door.
And I know what grace means, more and more.
The pages of us will dissolve in time
Even if your voice remains in some desire.
And all of the glory and shame that was caught up in our names
Pulled you up, got you down, in our harmonies around,
Curled your hair, let you know that we weren’t in love at all.
Petty things fall apart, like deal breakers in the dark.
You’re changing everything, so I’m changing everything.

You were understated, a mutual friend.
I was thinking lately, when will we begin to look like someone we know?
Like someone so bold.
The houses that I go by look tired on the outside.
The person that I realize, lively on the inside.
Like someone I know,
Like someone a stone’s throw away.
You look a little jaded, but you don’t say it aloud.
Happy dear belated, I missed your birthday about three or four days ago.
Wherever I’m standing, I’m cold.
Half in my memory, half in my head.
Part of you with me, part of me dead.
If I meant to be a weekday friend, I probably would’ve held this in.
No one likes how it feels running on slow kills,
And I’m not so sure we belong here.

Home This Weekend
05:22

Either we’ll move faster or we’ll move away.
And I don’t feel any older, other than just an ache in my knees.
Well, trouble’s never buried deep when both of us will choose to dig.
Was it time passed, or the love you’d sewn too fast that you doubt?
Am I only good to you this time if no one else would know?
You hardly felt the movement, and I still moved away.
Someday soon I’ll make it over, wish you luck, and leave it all alone.
An ocean may be buried deep, but it’s always what you want to find.
Was it time passed, or the love you’d sewn too fast that I found in you?
If I’m changing just for you this time, eventually it shows.
I’m not surprised you didn’t tell me you’d be at home this weekend.
Talking you down has never helped,
So this hype is better left unsaid.

Hoodie

Under the streetlight, our shadow defined.
Light long on a quiet street,
You told me goodnight.
It’s a give and take,
What difference does it make?
I crawled to you for so long.
And while we aimed to be true,
Just look back on the years,
I’d be your burden of the year.
I hear this humming everytime I go by.
We stayed around, let each other down.
Then you lost me.
Goodnight.
I don’t wonder why.
I can’t tell you what to do, you don’t ever stay.
If you notice me, I’m losing you.
Take your hoodie away.
I can’t tell you what to do, you don’t ever stay.
I turned back to you, and there I knew
We won’t stay the same,
We won’t see the day.
It’s a give and take,
What difference does it make?
I walked to you for so long.

Feels like I’m apathetic on the inside,
Muting all the echoes of a good life,
All on my own.
Now at a standstill,
Figured all the treasure’s in my own field,
And every passion here is ultra-real,
And all I would need.
And I thought I could do better than you.
Well, it’s hardly a coming-going kind of feeling.
This is really just the start of me coming to myself.
Hold me. Stop every train I sent rolling.
Free the ashes I am holding.
Open my hands.
I thought I would do better than you.

Left Alone
04:30
|

I dreamed we drove right off the road,
And I woke up, afraid it happened.
There I lay, an honest feeling in my chest.
I closed my eyes to break the feeling,
All too used to rolling backwards.
“I’m just here for a while.”
Why was I the one left alone, awake?
These diversions in desire, I knew they would- they’d take.
For seconds at a time, I see us all as human,
And why I try to stand so tall, just to lose it.
I went to places I remember going with you,
And there I stood, the thought I feared just rang as it passed.
How could I have been so foolish?
Maybe it’s just me, to think that I know what I’m doing, [and] covet everything.
Why was I the one left alone, awake?
These diversions in desire, I knew they would- they’d take.
For days at a time, I know what all makes us human:
The notion that we all could stand on our own, and prove it.

Getaway Car
04:58

Long night, following tail-lights.
Moving in the glow of a moon and satellites.
You’re far from home at last.
Is it what you expected?
Long time since you’ve spoken to him.
You’re reaching for the people where you stay,
But they don’t know you.
A getaway car, out of this railroad town.
You fall on your face, but he knows where you are.
Stop hiding your face, don’t fall in.
The highways will burn, and fall in.
You’re far from home at last.
Is it what you expected?
You’re far from home at last.
Is this how you expected it to go?

Bruiser Ballad
08:12

In that day, I was sure I was nobody,
No one.
When I saw what I do best could hurt someone,
My friends.
When the storm was blowing over, you cleared my eyes
To what I said in anger, that was not right.
In the years gone by when I closed my eyes,
I thought that I’d be right to think that I deserved to choose my terms,
But “deserve” has been a worthless word.
Well, I was sure to trust nobody,
No one,
But we give that up to love somebody,
Someone.
When this pride starts to move over, I see your eyes.
Everything I wanted fell below an interest passing by.
In the world behind this version of my mind,
I thought love was earned in strides.
It was not for any dream, or some place that I could be
That Jesus would rename all of me.
And he knows me better than anyone.

Then you laughed with me.
Why’d we ever paint up a catastrophe,
Coloring our hand-me-downs red and green?
[I was] sporting for a routine capability to turn you down.
You’ve heard this sound a hundred times before,
But you’re not going back.
Right before, stare at the floor—
Everything intact.
We played hide and seek,
And the feeling didn’t seem to stop happening
Soon enough for you to do anything outside of what you know.
I left you hanging out, the whole world in your head.
[You] wonder if we’re really living well.
There’s nothing here to find under the sun that’s one-of-a-kind, worth all of your love.
