Falter 06:09
FALTER Down below the ground Where the roots twist around All the gentrified walkways he saw her Loose and unafraid She waltzed and she swayed And she brushed the ash off from her alter Don’t call to her if you don’t want her Seven stories high The wind and the sky Made his worn heart feel weightless he faltered Down below the ground He could hear her sound Made the dark of his bedroom much starker Don’t call to her if you don’t want her Oh where do we go from here My dear, my dear The wire so thin and the air unclear To me, why you would let yourself fall to the sea When the ocean tides turn inside me Down below the ground Where the roots twist around All the gentrified walkways he saw her Loose and unafraid She waltzed and she swayed And she brushed the ash off from her alter Don’t call to her if you don’t want her Don’t call to her if you don’t want her Don’t call to her if you don’t want her Don’t call to her if you don’t want her Don’t call to her if you don’t want her

Chosen Names 02:58
CHOSEN NAMES The fire in your eyes And you’ve already turned to burn your pillars to the ground There’s no stopping us now We’ve twisted up our crowns Get up; stand up The pain is going to fade away One day it’s going to fade to grey Leapt from the pages You can hear us saying all The thoughts that once were frayed we call Each other by our chosen names Stay with me my friend Where my shadows end The fire in our eyes And we’ve already turned to burn our pillars to the ground There’s no stopping us now We’ve twisted up our crowns Get up; stand up The pain is going to fade away One day it’s going to fade to grey Leapt from the pages You can hear us saying all The thoughts that once were frayed we call Each other by our chosen names Stay with me my friend Where my shadows end

Nose Dive 03:58
NOSE DIVE And I leapt Though the ground was very far Took a nosedive down Through the water without sound Sinking to find out My this water is so deep Millennia below our feet And I lept And I lept And I lept And I lept Took a nosedive down Through the water without sound Sinking to find out My this water is so deep Millennia below our feet

Crimson 04:19
CRIMSON While we waited We colored the lines that were jaded Saw might in the light that ached with all of the shadows it had created On a fast train Yearning for something to feel strange Sipping on something Drowning the nothing Pretending that you are not there When darling you are everywhere The water it flows around Broken bottles and needles strewn on the ground A thousand miles of hollow and empty sounds But I know where I can go to find All of the strength that I need to sever ties And we’re talking about the way it feels to fly And we’re talking about the way it feels to fly When the rain it comes we let it just pass by But I know I am strongest when I cry Oh we taste the blood It is splattered on our hands The walls we thought were white Are soaked in violence second hand In the color Of crimson sharp as steal This apathy you feel is only making it more real But sit back and we’ll play this song for you To help you to sleep through the dream they built for you Oh no I won’t let it go I won’t sit in my comfort and know That the world around suffers And comforts a buffer To keep us from seeing We’re killing each other

ODE TO THE RIVER Water it falls from the sky But the river it never asks why As her cracked dusty shorelines grow dry She wades in the wake Of the silt and the clay And reflects the grey back to the sky The mountain tops covered in snow Begin to breathe and let go And the water once loose it can flow To the river to ready To feel something heavy And alive in her bed sheets once more How different the river and I For I cannot help but ask why And the sounds the waves make when they break They shatter my shoreline Unearth my dark light Remind me that I am awake We’re dancing in the moon again Slipping into the night Caught up in a yearning An ineligible churning It should not be my concern, but the earth it is turning And we’re broke down on the interstate Refusing to yield to the mistakes we’ve made But girl you better find yourself a man to date To tame this wild and unruly state Oh, the wild is innate you know Why would you try to stop me from growing? Don’t drown in cold water my friends

Hear Me Now 05:20
HEAR ME NOW Hear me now As we scream into the void of doubt Tossed about and lost without the land I trace the lines on my hand And we go down slow The passengers don’t know The depths that lie below The frozen earth beneath the snow We wake up to shake up the dust Break and create cause we must In fallen in trees we trust In rhythm that rumbles below all the rust Oh and all of us Lost in our heads Trapped and confused cause we don’t understand Why a band must build a brand When the music moves through us and water renews us The earth shakes the dams break And our thoughts below begin to flow And we will die again We will die
