Just another drive home 70 eastbound Calm down Fear of the prelude Smoke in the rear view Come down I am so out of practice Looking for silver behind the clouds All I needed was quiet But nothing is quiet anymore No, I don’t believe you But everyone seems to Wake up I am so out of practice Looking for the silver behind the clouds All I needed was quiet But nothing is quiet anymore

Earth Humming 04:11
lyrics

Slow me down Before I burn out Soak me up And wring me out Walk the circle Pace back and forth Who’s the culprit And what’s it worth Nose is bleeding I should go sit down This is friction Burns all the way down Fuck me up Push me around Earth is humming But I can’t hear a sound Drop the rope or I’ll cut it There’s only one way this goes down I have to untether And it will be profound Stumble my way Back into my room This is peril I have been consumed

Oak & Ocean 04:27
lyrics

You were trying to explain I was hung up on how I’ve never heard you talk this way You were so afraid I couldn’t hang up the phone Frozen in time, I’ll never let that moment go As it started to snow The thing about coincidence Is the consequence Coincidentally out of our hands The sooner that you get that, the better Easier said than done I don’t know how to explain But as hard as I try I can’t quite look at you the same Knowing the play You never got to decide But you carried your torch and you always held it up so high The thing about coincidence Is the consequence Coincidentally out of our hands The sooner that you get that, the better We’ll talk about it some time When it feels right After some of the sting’s worn off The sooner that you get that, the better Easier said than done Oak & ocean The thing about coincidence Is the consequence Coincidentally out of our hands The sooner that you get that, the better We’ll talk about it some time When it feels right After some of the sting’s worn off The sooner that you get that, the better

lyrics

Okay, I give Let’s sit and talk Tell me how sorry How sorry you are Our suffering, God’s blessing With a sign of the cross Your sun set quickly And it stayed dark Somewhere out in the woods I hoped I’d see you waiting there Okay, I give Let’s sit and talk Ask me how I How I’ve been feeling God damn, it feels good To not have to worry But Goddamnit, I can’t shake it I just feel guilty Somewhere out in the woods I hoped I’d see you waiting there Floating above the fire Outward palms Disappear in the smoke Somewhere out in the woods I hoped that we could talk again Throw it all in the fire Clasping palms Disappear in the smoke

The Wake 06:06
lyrics
buy track
Are you afraid? Like I’m afraid Not brave enough to turn the page Are you in pain? Like I’m in pain Nothing’s ever gonna be the same I need to talk to you Was it the cancer, or the drugs? Who do I take this up with? Extemporaneous Make it all up as we go Living in the trauma Wasting away I disassociate Drift away a little further every day Lost in the wake Of these crashing waves The guilt I get to live another day I need to talk to you But I can’t call you on the phone I just need to hear you Feels like we’ve been dreaming this How could any of it be real? You have always been here Hey, wait I’ve almost caught up to you This shape Is only a passage through

Willow 05:07
lyrics

Willow sleeps beneath the storm Grandfather’s bark is old and worn Willow’s branches swaying in the breeze Grandfather’s losing all his leaves Mother said that you were gone Twenty one grams had left your bones They drew that sheet upon your face Our universe displaced I don’t really wanna talk about it No not now All I ever do is think about it And how it all came crashing down Yeah I know it isn’t fair The rug was ripped from under all of our feet Yeah I know it isn’t fair The worst is over, It has to be I won’t forget the way that your face looked Your mouth was open wide Nothing behind your eyes I’ve been selfishly been hanging on to you If you see the door It’s okay, just go Let go I don’t really wanna talk about it No not now All I ever do is think about it And how it all came crashing down I know I need to talk about it No, not now I relive it every time I do And see it all come crashing down

Your Garden 03:20
lyrics
buy track
How long’s it been? Since we had balance Didn’t have to pretend How long’s it been? Since we last talked Without a pretense of dread You’re missing a heartbeat Mine’s on the floor Laid at the edge of your bed The distance between us Locked in a box Laid down forever to rest How long’s it been Since we had a moment To take all this in Right here on this hill In front of your garden With some time to kill I just need a moment To freak the fuck out Scream at the top of my lungs It just comes out silent A whimper at best Roaring inside of my head

Twenty One Grams 06:34
lyrics

Growing tall With the Rain dripping off your branches Unafraid of the thunder And the wreckage Willow Little love There is no rest here Just a hell of a climb Towering over Your little eyes There is no rest here Just a hell of a climb Tunnel straight through it I don’t know what we leave But a moment in time Twenty one grams of this feeling Tugging at the back of your mind All of this grief Only a moment in time Twenty one grams of this feeling Leaving a trail through these woods to guide Twenty one grams of this feeling Carry us to that great divide

Cattail Harbor 03:58
lyrics

Redwing blackbird Cattail harbor I wanna be where you are Willow’s crying Westward lightning I wanna be where you are I remember the moment The defeat set in You fell up the stairs And we wept like little kids Redwing blackbird Tree line pasture I wanna know where you are Willow’s growing Time keeps rolling I wanna know where you are I remember the moment How quick it hit You’ve gotta come home ‘Cause It ain’t like it was I wanna know where you are
