The Retreat
03:06
|
|||
|
follow me down to my murky river
here the lights come only in the shape of fire
and if you're scared I hear
it's best to hold your breath
hold your breath
hold your breath
there's no need for that now
as long as
the end finds retreat
my mind finds retreat
her minds found retreat
here i plan to kill my blue and green desires

Upside
03:21
|
|||
|
I'm not an awfully complex guy
or very hard to understand
i'm just a little lonely
so I hope you understand
and not cast me aside
I'm kind of nice to have around
oh how you've turned my world upside down
oh how I wish I could hide
in the place I know
my dog has not died
and the snow falls upside down
god I can't stand this joke
give me some different hope

This Far
04:10
|

I've come this far
retaining as sense of adventure
at the age of sixteen
so how is it the good dreams
are the ones I can't seem to remember
it's too bad he's such a nice guy
it's too bad he's such a nice guy
so I redefining my tracks
so I working on looking back
quiet corner
don't fail me now
no not now
I'm fighting this indecision
oh my decision
it's closer than that cloud
that storm grey cloud

Advance
03:25
|
|||
|
the joy of being on my own
of the spontaneous and unexpected
it thickens the air around here
and due to the water and his god
it remains sacred
what a shame
they fell
for the frost
or so I'm told
I'm just a rabbit on a road
sick of its burrow
and those who refuse to fight alone
running backwards on a cobble stone
I promise if you stay here at home
I'll always run in advance
I'll always run in advance
I'll always run in advance
just take it all in advance
I'm just a rabbit on a road

Barriers
03:02
|
|||
|
settle here in a quiet town
in the homesickness I found
saturated in its own glow
for now
for now
I'll stay barely below
it rings out across the water
out of key
and it builds barriers which separate
you from me
out of the articulate and profound things to say
and all that got left behind on the way
the way
one more worthless rhyme
well it'd be unfair to say it was
I prefer it broken just because
for a season I can replace
my obsession for a girl
for a girl
for a girl

I'll Keep you Company
04:02
|
|||
|
remove the palm from the nail
and pour the blood from the pail
he wouldn't stay long
to see
well I'll keep you company
'til the coffee wears off
and I'll break the silence
if he refuses to talk
we'll would it be a gamble to seek
somewhere less frozen
just clear the channel
and leave what was always chosen
now winston
I'm sure he love you too
just remember winston
I'll always care
I'll always care
for you
though all is fair in love and war
you mange to always win
he wouldn't stay long
to see

Solid Muse
03:44
|
|||
|
roll down that window
the chill is not so bad
don't resist the airflow
it's from our hearts
and not the cold
well i could be rid of you yet
you make me feel so safe
so safe
dear I could wait
but I hate being told
I'm tired of this place
and I have no excuse
and I've wasted so much time cracking a solid muse
something your rarely see
and never get to use
my belly's aching
and this bait isn't taking
I swear
you've wouldn't recover
my plastic December

Millfoil
04:08
|
|||
|
it's not the outpour you were hoping for
blue sky's breath stole it away
but the feeling will return
once the winter burns out
oh my meadow song
your role was meant for someone
owning a stronger gaze
thin arms would you declare
it best to leave the comfort
of the thaw
for a cause you can explain
cause nothing matters
nothing matters
on a day that rains
well my heart changed
when yours didn't do the same
now the paint's dried
on what's refuse to hide
what we want simple but out of reach
my instinct cleared the floor
a present you could keep
but i don't feel like that anymore
