Habibi 04:03
Habibti dear, son of mine rest, your eyes some more the coast, is clear out here you sleep, all that you need all that you want for now, is here hold, hold my hand when you appear, to us something pulls me, you found its source your just a boy to be a man, but you have my blood i felt, your body, pressed to glass i saw your heart was beating, your fingers moving there’s just a season, before you arrive i know i’m used to just giving up my mind will hide, but my eyes are open i know you can, hear my voice every word falls, into your head there’s just a season, before you arrive i see us, perfect reflections the same skin, the same blood the same history, is beneath us something we can’t fight, without losing we will never shed, something so close to us or find the right place, away from here there’s just a season, before you arrive
2.
Until You 03:47
Until You wait, I can see this thing grow bigger than we think now, how could it come stay with us, forever here, in our house for dear, i saw you, i see you clearer than the rest and wait for it, to challenge us, again don’t go close, your eyes on this feeling half away feeling, will return seeming fine, i guess things are just the same trust this cane i gave to you and feel its own strength lets sit down today its been longer than we wanted what the hell are we here for..... stealing every day, we’re feeling trapped countless hours pass us by in wait even when we say we will we won’t stealing every day, we’re feeling trapped

Gold Beach 04:25
Gold Beach i swear we’ve been here once before stuck in the woods, looking for town yes i’m sure kissing the girls, tell em goodbye let them know, you’ll come right back yes you’re sure looking ahead now, you can’t see anything out there back in the car, its freezing cold drawing hearts, on all of the windows buying time out on the path, i’m losing time its hard to tell, if i’ve made any ground where are you? looking ahead now, i can’t see anything out there its been a week, a tap on the door not the same man, who left here before from his home further away, to find you again up in the air, then back to the ground where are you? how could i tell you, how can i set myself apart out on the canvas, i can stretch myself so far i swear we’ve been here once before stuck in the woods, looking for town yes i’m sure kissing the girls, tell em goodbye let them know, you’ll come right back yes you’re sure looking ahead now, you can’t see anything out there

Hands of Ether you walk a perfect circle, always predictable you left the winding path, you used to walk i see different, something else here damn the terms they yell, they’re not mine i won’t blame you, raise my voice to loud, i’m a lot like you, broken in halves raise your hands up, up in the air lets make this stop, before its too late i can’t see this, hold it physically, hands full of ether, i want to share tell me something, i’ve never heard before damn these terms they want, they’re not ours raise your hands up, up in the air lets make this stop, before its too late i’m offering, part of me for part of you it can’t go on, let’s cast our stones into this void i can’t remember, how we even came to be where we are
5.
I, Testify 03:21
I, Testify one big grave, that will dig we’ll toss them in and never respect their fate we’ll court our friends, and tell them lies we’ll tie their hands, behind their backs i’ve never heard of something, so unjust i’ve never been so mad now, in my life with something we’re getting so wrong how can we live with it? how can we live with it? what will we say, to all of our sons we’ll build the past, and make it what we want they’ll grow up strong, without a clue remember the words, that they trust us for feeling like they know what, what they were told was true feeling like their feeling, and that’s ok i’ll never shake a hand that’s too eager to shake my own i’ll never cross my fingers and wait for time to work this out
6.
I’m Not Yours it’s enough to make you hide and crawl in my head i am not yours its just something you say a strangers voice so loud it echos and bends comb this sea you know in front of you miles and miles away you can’t see a nervous force within that you will suppress a stranger’s voice so loud it echos and bends hold the hand you see, that gives you grief hear the sound again, this silent song a thousand lives to live, that you don’t want
7.
Everyone I Know i’ve seen enough from hear, I’m dumb with fear and living on the fringe my lips will move, but never make a sound reading through these lines, i’m cracking codes and holding myself back with narrow eyes, nothing here escapes i’m just a pacifist, i’m passing time the only way i know i’m just staring at the moon, caught in the middle here like you you’ve had to walk this earth, a different path somewhere i don’t know where the seasons change a different time of year you’re just a stranger to me, but you feel the same as everyone i know i’m just the same, as full of shaded light i’m just a pacifist, i’m passing time the only way i know i’m just screaming at the moon, caught in the middle here like you help me, i’m sitting on the edge, with so much left to do so much left to do so far, there’s so much left to do help me, i’m sitting on the edge
8.
Perfect Weights i can’t see that far, i would never try no words would leave my mouth, that i would never do no second thoughts, for good days just pass me by, my hands behind my back a simple stare in time, leaves me where i am no second thoughts, this time once i belonged, to something else so far, i’ve torn it all down i know its wrong, to leave it alone i can’t, just build it back up and calling my name out loud over time it starts take it all back, i know i can’t do that give it all up, i know i shouldn’t try a hollow man, i cam to you this way give it all up, i know i shouldn’t try i can’t see that far, i would never try days just pass me by, and leave me where i am
9.
Skin of Yours who dimmed these lights too low to see? just enough, just barely enough to to cast a darkened shadow, just beyond me skin of yours around me tight like a shell, like a kid i’m happy to be here, where else would i want to be sounds off, heartbeat in my ear i am close, oh so close i feel your fingers moving, i listen to you sing oh i can feel us moving, oh i’m sure we’re moving lets move away from where we’ve been i know, i know real well, you dreamt a larger coast somewhere we’ve never seen punch-drunk, i’m swimming in you deep i can’t see i’m happy to be here, where else would i want to be oh i can feel us moving, oh i’m sure we’re moving i can see so far with your eyes, your eyes from coast to coast, from low to high i can see every shade i need, i need from light to dark, from white to black we’ll shed our skin, to start over when we want we’ll sleep inside, the caverns of our hearts
10.
Phantom Limb 04:47
Phantom Limb we’re still sleeping, late from last night i kept one eye open, all of the night i place my hand, in the space we lost i can still feel, a heartbeat and its fight i can’t tell if i slept a wink i keep running in these dreams it doesn’t seem, real to me last night it doesn’t seem, real to me at all if only we, could disappear right now i place my hand, in the space we lost it’s better, that we keep this to ourselves it’s better, that we try again some, say a ghost will remain walking, through our heads in our sleep some, say ghosts will keep us alive to wake us, up from feeling all alone i touch your hand, to still feel the same way hold my breath, so you can exhale if only we, could disappear right now touch your hand, and still feel the same way after all that we’ve found so close, now we’re not changed plans, so fast after all, that we thought can’t keep thinking this will go away hold my breath so you can bring talking in our sleep at night can’t keep thinking this will go away after all that we thought
11.
Diving Bell 03:37
Diving Bell i’ve been sitting on the edge left to hang hear by my hips stretched thin like canvas i know its never me at night, on your own sink down again i’ve seen this look in your eyes every shadow that you chase i’m just singing into night too much staring at the moon sink down again i know its not me of all the nights to sit so still my lips still yours i’ll start again a second verse another song of all the nights to sit so still i never planned this or saw it coming over me, yeah every second every minute pass so slow, yeah
