If there was a god her only mercy
Would be making us take this long to learn
Not anything from school
Not from following the rules
But learning how the world has always churned
As babies we are born with a jersey
Spend a few years figuring out for who
Until you know your name
Then you’ll never be the same
Learning about how the world is cruel
There’s no great big mystery
It’s only you, it’s only me
Learning how to live and what to life for
No light end there’s no tunnel
Just the popping of a bubble and your world and all you know is gone
It’s a choice to find something to live for
If there was a god her only mercy
Would be gifting us with an expiration date
She made 80 years feel like eternity
Cause forever is a concept much to great
Hold on to optimistic bravery
It’s hard to get it back when it’s gone loose
It’s a choice to find something to live for

Dream of me
02:18

Traded 90 days for one, and some change
Knew that after my short stay we’d go back to twiddling thumbs and the wait
I feel the absence of you in my palms and my embrace
I know we’ll meet again, but til then
You said ‘dream of me’ x2
I hope you dream, dream of me
Maybe yesteryears, we’d evaded this charade
But in here and now, there is distance in between our days
I feel the absence of you in my palms and my embrace
I know we’ll meet again, but til then

Spiders and Beavers
02:00
|

Like a spider tiptoes the line
take it easy, take your time
I know it's delicate
when you're foraging for a thing that you feel that you miss
Like a beaver makes its home
I hope you're sheltered until you're grown
I know it takes a bit
when you're moulding to a form you don't know yet exists

Should I hold my tone
Should I hold my breath again
Should I keep my voice down
When it’s all I’ve ever known
All I’ve ever known
Should I count the days
Would it be a waste of time
Will you like the change
When I’m far from all you’ve ever known
All you’ve ever known
I’ll find a way
If I make no changes a
Will I scorn the same
Deep fear of construction
Accustomed to this range

I’m a torn down relic, I was supposed to die
But I’ve got the walls and guts, standing still inside
Flowers in the cracks reveal, there never was a plan
I’m haunting my own consciousness, I’m back where I began
Figure it out for me, figure it out for me
All my bones have already been destroyed
Fill my cracks with gold, paint all that is old
All my bones have already been destroyed
I’m a crumbled building, but you can step inside
All i’ve got is walls and floor, but you can see the sky
Flowers in the cracks reveal, beauty’s there at hand
Haunted by old melodies, yet still afraid to stand
Have I been dead before?
Is this my first time holding spaces
or have my memories been torn?
Figure it out for me
