Flimsy Daisies (Intro)
01:28
|
|||
|
Your polaroids hangin on the top shelf
I thought the flowers matched your hair
Thought of pretty colors flowing out of your eyes
Like the ones you bled when you fell down the stair
Try to forget the things that we did
Like flimsy daisies blooming out of your skin
Build me up then cut me off right before dawn
Cause that’s the way we sin

I Remember You
02:32

Verse 1
Jenny don’t you wait too long
Ain’t nothin’ else I can do
If you’re too scared to move
Then there ain’t nothin’ else for you to do
Alright
Chorus
Oh, I remember you (2x)
Well don’t you remember me too?
Verse 2
Looks like you fell from the sky
Is it nice up there?
Maybe I talk too much
But I’m not going anywhere
Alright
(Chorus)

Melancholy Mass
04:56
|
|||
|
Verse 1
In our house, of shattered cobblestone
I had slept, swaddled all alone
The lights were creeping out in shining pirouettes
I was getting warm but my eyes weren’t open yet
Chorus
All around your velvet smiles, and ties me up in you
I cannot recollect your eyes, were they brown or blue?
Oh our melancholy mass
All the shadows that we cast
Verse 2
Tell me now, tell me I’m not late
I saw her fly, while you were under weight
Your body chills as I fall out of my skin
Oh resurrect so you can come and let me in
(Chorus)
|

Mary Jane
04:47
|
|||
|
Verse 1
Virginia don’t wait for the sun to descend, into the madness below
The stories you told my children and then how you rocked the boy gently and slow.
The terrified air of a juniper rain
And a harlot, deep in the snow
I can’t find the voices of October pain,
But Helena maybe you know
Chorus
Oh Mary Jane, Mary Jane, where is your mirror
Where are my maids in a row?
Oh Mary Jane, Mary Jane, pretty you’d be
If you dressed in a soft indigo
Verse 2
The streetlights all shine, and the birds haven’t sung
But I am not one to complain
Maybe a vision will fill up my lungs
But Guinevere’s all that remains
In shelters of silver and shackles of gold,
Emily knows where she is
She’s seen the white horse through eyes of the old
But she doesn’t know what he is
(Chorus)
Verse 3
She hadn’t worshipped for very long
But God had a plan in store
Don’t you remember the misty-eyed song
When Clementine opened the door?
The windows are burning that I used to know
The battles that thundered on high
But Georgia my dear she died long ago,
Sometimes I think so did I
(Chorus)

All Over Now
03:59
|
|||
|
Verse 1
Coffee doesn’t keep me
Running through the halls all night and day
You just stood there smilin’
Fingers shine like colors at the bay
Chorus
It’s all over now (8x)
Verse 2
Looks are not deceiving
When I’m the only one lookin’ for the moon
Hazard dies, watch me fly,
Singin’ to my mother’s favorite tune
(Chorus)
Verse 3
You took your words right through me
Flowers runnin’ through your golden hair
Rush of blood it kills me
But I find myself too young to meet you there
(Chorus)

Poems in My Hand
04:24
|
|||
|
Verse 1
If I could put it into words
If I could sing you such a song
I would sing it every day
And shout it when you’re gone
Time’s too short today
The rocks have gone away
I can’t bear to stand
I’m bleeding out a better man
Chorus
When I see you on the shore
Far beyond the ocean’s roar
I will give you all I am
All the poems in my hand
Verse 2
There’s a shadow overhead
And a fire in the bed
But I feel just the same
I remember when it rains
The stories I have given you
A song so tried and true
Lying in the sea
A specificity
(Chorus)
|

Anyone, Anywhere
03:01
|
|||
|
Verse 1
I’m still sitting right here on the ground
Watching it all come tumbling down
You’re still shaking, like there’s something new to see
After all it’s only you and me
Chorus
I’m calling out
To anyone, anywhere
The snow’s getting thicker
But we might still make it there
Verse 2
Any questions left to ask
I answered them all from first to last
You gotta song, I gotta light
Whatever gets us through the night
(Chorus)
|

Verse 1
I didn’t want it to hurt
Well I thought it’d be fun
But the city keeps screaming
And I’m tired of the sun
Let’s forget about the band
I wanna see you smile
My head’s still spinning
It might take me awhile
Chorus
Cause I’m in love with the sounds
Of trumpets in my ears
They tell me I’m alive
But I’m still tumbling here
Verse 2
Holding on to your hands
Remember how they felt
Breaking out, away
Watch how they melt
Won’t you look up at me?
I’m still the same
You sleep like a melody
I’ll sing out your name
(Chorus 2x)

Sleeping by the Sun
05:28
|
|||
|
Verse 1
It’s gonna be a hard one
But I’ve been here before
Couldn’t ask for it any better
Couldn’t ask for anything more
I’m taking my time
So there’s no time at all
Sounds like the movies
But I’m still stumbling through the wall
Chorus
Call me a sinner, I’ll call you a saint
Some sing it loud, some sing it faint
The earth will shake for years and years to come
You can still hear it tremble when they’re sleeping by the sun
Verse 2
“Guess I don’t bleed out my sleeve
I’m not enough for you to believe”
Sometimes I think that’s what he said
While we’re stuck staring at His empty bed
(Chorus)
Verse 3
Whatever I answer, whatever I say
It’s already been said, but I’m still far away
I can still feel, or maybe not
A trembling mind, is my afterthought
(Chorus)

The Escape Artists

|
(Part 3)
Is this the space between the lines?
Are we still talking out of time?
The answer’s pressed against my skin
But I’m too dull to let in
And when the fire stops
I’ll call your name
Like you’re still here
And it’s still the same
(Part 5)
I think there’s something left to say
Cause when I change from day to day
My hair and eyes become undone
But even then you’re still the only one
I fall asleep, I’m falling down
The air is still upon the ground
And in the morning when we’re cold
My body’s there for you to hold
|

Those I’ve Hurt
03:38
|
|||
|
Verse 1
I hurt sometimes
That’s clear to see
Wrap my sorrows
Up in Golden Fleece
And Try to forget the ones that I’ve left
And hold on to those I’ve hurt
Chorus
I can’t forget the ones that I’ve hurt,
The ones that I loved so much
I can’t forget the ones that I’ve loved,
The ones that I hurt so much
Verse 2
I hurt sometimes
That’s clear to see
But I hurt people
More than me
Look for the olive branch that’s disappeared
Maybe it’s hiding out at sea
(Chorus)
Bridge
If I could change the course of time
I’d take you to your favorite place
And stop the world from spinning
Just to see your smiling face
(Chorus)
