40 Till Dawn
02:10
|
|||
|
Your hands they grip the fleeting breeze
40 till dawn was when you’d leave
Now I am blinded by the sea
Living a life in binaries
You weren’t supposed to be my fears
Affections not what I hold dear
But every time you loose you breath
I feel that

Equipment Lights

Equipment light in your eyes, can you sleep at night
Plastic plants by your side, do you hold them sometimes
All alone, share a sight, make it feel alright
Bless the night, go to sleep at 10:35
Tired eyes, 8 hours away from parking signs
Save your breath, but get in fights, I hope that you’re feeling alright
A persons eyes are all you ever want to see
Sunset, sunrise, melancholy, atrophy
But all it takes is drifting around a parking lot
Leaning into it, I wanted to but never got
Cement sights, flashing lights, the humming of the streets
Individuals, got things to do, got things to be
Far away, making minds, riding in cars for days
ever minds, a broken mirror made me lose all chase
Street lights pass you by, you watch as you’re sending hearts
I am alright, I never ask, now you’re begging for darts
We can pass the time again
Does it seem like every things alright
We’d never notice a tired light
You’d always try just to see
If only you could feel anything
When you were with me
There's a lot I never said to you
When we were only 18
But in my parents basement
I never told a lie
And you held your secrets in your eyes
Anticipating awkward sighs
And making sure you go outside
You see the beautiful sun and you know where to go
The light on your face make want to say so
But the equipment lights outshine it’s rays
It can only do so much from far away
There's 4 more hours left in the day
The colours on your shirt are fading away
Beautiful paradise, parasite, a couple of fights
your house is far away
Equipment light in your eyes, can you sleep at night
Plastic plants by your side, do you hold them sometimes
All alone, share a sight, make it feel alright
Bless the night, go to sleep at 10:35
Tired eyes, 8 hours away from parking signs
Save your breath, but get in fights, I hope that you’re feeling alright
A persons eyes are all you ever want to see
Sunset, sunrise, melancholy, atrophy

Small light in the doorway from your front yard
Standing on your driveway, we both felt so far
On your windowsill you’d place your treasured rose
But far away you stand whenever we console
Baby I
All the time we spent together it grows cold
We grow old
But whenever we feel it again
I’ll your feelings, my ends
I’m contracting out my best for you
Bury me with watches on my wrists
I need another sense of bliss
I was euphoric, I wasn’t true
And you
You let me in some time ago
You never thought I wouldn’t know
Can’t see your eyes in snow
A heresy that didn’t show
You made it out, you didn’t know
But I could never see your low
On your windowsill
You’d place your treasured rose
But far away you stand whenever we console
Baby I
All the time we spent together it grows cold
We grow old
But you
You used to be a sudden truth
You used be all that I knew
And you
You used to be a sudden truth
You used to be all that I knew from you

I was with you up at night
Talking late until the morning
Why were you singing songs
That made you cry and weep
Like the rivers across the sea
I never saw you in front of me
But I could spend all my money on strawberries if that’s what you want
I could try, could try, could try
To make it better
But your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
Don’t drift when you're telling lies, tell lies, tell lies
I couldn’t say why
I could try, could try, could try
To make it better
But your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
Don’t drift when you're telling lies, tell lies, tell lies
I’d never ask why
Then I saw you in my dreams
On the 4th floor it was morning
And you were quietly singing songs
That made us fall asleep
A kind of shelter a quite breeze
Laid on the grass you picked cherries
And I would never feel that feeling again as long as I feel alive
I could try, could try, could try
To make it better
But your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
Don’t drift when you're telling lies, tell lies, tell lies
I couldn’t say why
I could try, could try, could try
To make it better
But your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
Don’t drift when you're telling lies, tell lies, tell lies
I’d never ask why
[ Lyncanyon ]
You were hear
I had a fear
That last night I saw you appear

Lovers
04:13
|
|||
|
Lovers on their peaks
Is all that I am now hearing
Darkness at the seems
Subdued with quite and simple feelings
But you could not believe
That everything was once a simple thing
And now it’s what we search for in meanings
Was once all we had
When we were beginning

A Large White Oak
05:32

The attitude
Made us go faster then we could say
I was letting go faster then we could grow
I was showing myself better then I would know
Your aptitude
To show me yourself far away from me
To hold to yourself what I didn’t see
To make sure that we don’t always agree
But we let go
In a parking garage in your car
And I told you all that I ever knew
You you told that you already know
It felt like
Some sort of tragedy but it's not quite
You figured that out before I knew it
And you told me on the ride home
The trees don’t grow
Beside the road was a large white oak
They tore it down for a power line
Used the wood to fence off a home
And you told me
What the city blocks use to look like
And showed me the parks that you grew up in
And what happened to the church that closed
Did you feel the same wind that a felt
Did you hear my voice when I would yell
Did you walk around the same patch of grass
Did you think about just what would last
Was there anything between us then
Or something that joins us again
Was there meaning forming us to be
Was there anything quiet in me
Did you know how much that I cared for you x100
There’s minutes left
I’m noting down all the words you said
When everyone’s going far away
Will you still have all those words to say
And I know
My type of phrasing never got me far
Maybe I’ll always be driving cars
And parking on the side of roads
But did you know how much that I cared for you

Smoking In The Daylight
02:03
|

|
Spring time never leaves you
Its always where you go
Still leaving Toronto
Still standing on your own
Smoking in the daylight wasn’t right for me
But falling for you seemed to come so naturally
Everyday I fall asleep thing of what it could be
What it could be
What it could be

No Intimacy
05:08
|

|
I'm quite on a subway ride
You always knew what you'd become but
I never knew exactly what I'd be
Trying to hear what you had to say
It always seemed so distant but
The future is not what I thought it'd be
Trying to listen to the voice of reason but its few and far between
I never liked the sound of my voice, I never liked the American dream
When I listen to the outlets its the same vice everyday
Tell me I don't have any problems, tell me that everything’s okay
I want a new life, far away from here x8
Take me take e take me places
I never want to go
And tell me tell me tell me things that
You’d rather I would know
Take me take me take me places
Where no one else you’d show
And tell me tell me tell me things that
You’d only want me to know
Take me take e take me places
I never want to go
And tell me tell me tell me things that
You’d rather I would know
Take me take me take me places
Where no one else you’d show
And tell me tell me tell me things that
You’d only want me to know
There's no intimacy without you x8
There's no intimacy without you
Only fire in the winter
Only run down cars and worn in clothes
that tell a life far away
There's no intimacy without you
Only moments that I never see
There's no intimacy without you
Only fire in the winter
Only run down cars and worn in clothes
that tell a life far away
There's no intimacy without you
Only seconds of everyday

There was dark smoke in your eyes
When you saw embers fall from the sky
Behind the store but on the street
November winters starred back at me
When we would stand upon the sidewalks
The snow would melt slow below our feet
And you always said that you’d stop smoking cigarettes
You’d throw the buds down, blow through the breeze
And your steps were close to mine
The hum of streetlights consume my mind
And the way you turn to look back at me
Is what you saw what I would see
Now why does looking outside make it all feel fake
But never tells me what to say
Now all of my thought consist of old words with things id never say
And I was left with no quite days
There was dark smoke in your eyes
When you saw embers fall from the sky
And the way you talked hid your dismay
We saw each other in awful ways
And your skin was close to mine
But everything said was soon to die
And you would leave in frigid rain
A scene of vanity with no restraint
Now everything I am is far away from you
When the leaves fall from the trees I can’t help but think of you
Does anything I said still resonate inside your mind
Now everything I do exist outside of you
And everything I felt only makes it feel less true
No matter how you true the dark smoke still catches you eyes
[ Kelso Jeans ]
The textural appeal
Of the walls when everything's not real
Are you feeling it now
The constant cloudiness
The vaguest sense of you
Was everything we did not true
Am I still under
Behind you it's thundering

You wanted to leave
And I felt that urgency
Of you calling for me
But I didn’t know where you would be
Your presence was felt on
The back of my neck on
A bus ride home
But its been so long since we spoke
If you were there then I'd never know
The strangest place
A gateway escape
A night lit room and you’d cover your face
From a flashing light that your friend would make
Could you still see that on my skin today
When you went home did you walk through the snow
Where there birds in the air, where the trees still letting go
All of the currents where your temptations
And I could see that from outside of you
But all I want is some confirmation
As much as I know you feel that too
I know you felt strong winds at the station
I know its lovely in place of the sea
Do you look for that in crowded hallways
Do you look for that crossing the street
The stutter of fingertips on my face
The green sofa left out of the lawn
The perfect breeze that would blow your hair back
The slowest days that stayed out till dawn
The fog that covers all that’s in front of me
The smallest pictures that you have drawn
The cross of your legs you’d sit in front of my
Will this still be here when we’re all gone
Does everything that was
Change as time goes by
Was I alone there
Am I alone here
Was is it you’ve been through
Since I have last seen you
I want to know that
But we never spoke
When
When was the last time we spoke

Sleepless Nights
03:24
|

|
You kept your eyes open
You’re the cause of the effects that you had on me
Insatiable is this love
But when I talk to you
I hear voices from miles away
I hear love that never shows it’s face
But stays dormant in your room
But when you had me
You felt tired and confused
You felt something inside of you that said
Its never gonna work
But please don’t cry at me
Just say I have to leave
So instead of losing sleep
We could just hold each other and say things that we don’t mean
What do the simplest feelings mean
I cant just walk away from love when it’s so clear to me
But I don’t want more sleepless nights
