You went out and all I got was 4 years older.
You've joined the birds up on the wire
while im down here trying to get wiser.
I'm tripping over the same cracks in the road.
The ones I said I'd miss the day before.
You went out and all I got was 4 years older.
You've joined the birds up on the wire.
You've joined the birds; the ones barely seen after dark.
A cloak of feathers and the gentle pollution of the light.
All I got was 4 years older.

We were smoking down by the river
You were telling me about the future
We were driving past all these stranger's homes
I've seen about four of your own
I know this weight is hard, but these bones are strong
I wish I could take this from you
I wish I could take you home at the least
Outside these hospital doors
It's coming down harder than I've ever seen before
Your mother hugged me in her wet winter coat
I wish I wore one of my own
With worried eyes and stained skin
You looked at me from your hospital bed
I wish I could take this from you
I wish I could take you home at the least
If only home knew how
You wouldn't know me now
But I'm glad you do

I see you faces around
but i dont see you anymore.
its like your face is on a billboard
the next town over that i visit sometimes
but i dont pay no mind.
but im desensitized
and im losing my mind.
have i scraped off more than i can handle
or more than i think i should?
deactivation shakes my bones.
i find my flesh is still unfazed.
i'll know better if im alone someday.
shake my hand/ignore my gaze.
but im desensitized
and im losing my mind.
have i scraped off more than i can handle
or more than i think i should?

Cut the Lights (Solo EP)
05:05
|

|
some mornings, in my coffee,
i'll see your eyes looking back at me.
some mornings, i'll say "fuck it" and call myself tired
and i'll call you blind.
some nights, while staring at my ceiling,
i'll find faces in the texture of the tiles.
mostly, they are strangers.
mostly, they are new
but some nights, i'll find you.
i'll cut the lights
and i'll make us blind.
i'll make us blind
because you're all i find
when i cut the lights.
i'll make us blind.

cover it with paint.
placing stain on stain.
in a room filled with white carpet
all the photos lay face down.
looking trough albums with broken spines.
trying to find something-
at least a smile from a better time.
nothing but blank polaroids
and dates that i dont recall.
its like it never happened at all.
im on what ive learned
to be is my two feet
and i think you are
somewhere under your formal attire
and im hoping we can work out something for the better.
nothing but blank polaroids
and dates that i dont recall.
its like it never happened at all.

Blindness (Band Demo)

we both got what we wanted.
we pulled the root and we got it.
we killed it dead.
you couldnt leave well enough alone.
youre having trouble out on your own;
a new life... a new face.
the fire has long since went out.
a lack of air will put anything down
like we knew it would.
we both got what we wanted.
we pulled the root and we got it.
we killed it dead.
empty words and broken pacts.
eyes open enough to relax.
knives on the ground just for the night.
... come sun, we'll wake up blind.
we both got what we wanted.
we pulled the root and we got it.
we killed it dead.
you say that its all the same;
that i'm the one to blame
but all i see is blindness.
