The Lake 04:04
a lake at the center of the earth holds the full attention of every unloved soul whether dead of cold of hunger or hate or age the bells rings and the inside cave the lake fills slowly water rushes round my feet a slow end coming a second grave more than beginning harsher than the end please dont beg i wont explain the life i've lived, i'll do it again please dont beg i wont explain back to birth my crawl begins this bed awaits me then i see my friend she worked at night she waited her life for the right, moment to pull her out and give her life my friend had eyes once blue now full of tears the life she knew was through so i held her hand the water rose our knees now cold had i known her pain i'd have held her close i'd have made her bed and touched her brow every dark day that filled her life like this lake, now neck high the fact that i am here i wont explain so take your guess and let it stay her eyes cut through me but never saw the mirrors i wear to block the gentle from ever creeping in

Bay Bee 04:31
baby you've got everything i want and nothing i need baby you're everything to everyone and nothing to me when we were young white was a color a christian sense of guilt we earned our love we faced ourselves we faced the world circles round our feet black thread and pearls i see in sounds (i will be) you only words (something) this will be our love (you can't be yourself) is all you heard when what you've said (after a while) it's not what you've done (i will be) the bandages come off (nothing) and the blood runs when we hold on it's never fair all the subtle looks and branded stares fall apart then build again pedestals appear when faces red

One Piece 03:51
i doubt you dont remember how we got warm all the worry left your insides bare the hair we cut stayed unswept for days and even though you thought it was over the remains filled you up and stole what was left all of us is less you or me and more who we are as one piece you doubt i dont think about you when you arent here more misguided, clamoring hands past names clawing, dragging us back a dark form raised a cloud too dense reason and soul slurred into one and now that we're more than who we are you and me, one piece of us all
5.
I Want Love 04:24
you never run when you should you stand and take it heels against the wall eyes wet and naked when's enough enough when can i save you i walk alone we cant hold our selves up our arms are weak we cant hold our selves up our legs might break wood paneled walls cheese cloth and staples hide sisters hide the wolves wont catch us while the wind knocks the walls while howling might shake us the ground beneath our feet is layers below us humid summer warmth in the pine tree fortress the bike between my legs tall socks and sneakers ride faster, go their words wont catch us close your eyes and run they'll see right through us when's enough enough when will you save us
6.
i want something new you've never fought another mind like this held my breath for years kept the beauty near one man's passing hope the picture turned and stretched then we walked away in either fear or shame holding sticks not pens we didn't write but dreamt i didn't run but hid knowing that these kids wouldn't mask my brightest smile so then i hid away yeah, i hid away

Made a Place 03:54
hold steady you're almost through there's more to you you're stronger than we knew the warm embrace the close and safe It's all because we made this place if all the wild in you could be held for just one moment i'd hold your face and say just what you're worth and how you deserve to never feel the weight of the world on the softest shoulders ever known draped in glass and never on their own i hope you know what you're in for beauty is seeing the end
9.
if i cashed in the years i put in we'd be forever if i stood by and let the monster in we'd be together every time i tried to make you mine it never felt right so i looked for more and worked for more and died inside a little more if i stop by will you let me in? i'll act better if you dont mind, i need a place to hide but not forever
10.
Walk Away 01:13
we dont love anything other than this i don't wanna find another way of life but i dont have a choice now that i've walked away (from you)
11.
Ferndale, MI 01:43
i dont care where we go but you better drive i dont trust myself tonight back there those people i never want to see them again
12.
The Gardener 03:57
only ever and never gone alone the empty undertaking stole below held by nothing known or overgrown our members hardly taken far from home old i chose you, a flowered tree in fall told to mind the thorns i grabbed them all the gardener rushing, his hands wrapped a maul close behind we felt the distance grow in the early wool and warm there's a light through the storm down the wet path there's no way back from where we've gone as we focus, the corners grow dull sound and color blend a fiery hall turning inward, frayed a cut chord your branches wrap, leaves fill the holes
13.
Home 04:51
i don't feel like going out take off your socks come sit with me let's talk i don't wanna die when you say you find a better self in me the twisted now feels right if only miles away if only you would stay we'd fall if we could stand you always make me say i've done all i could do i'll think things through i like myself much more when i smell like you and all the world went through the changes brought by you a fundamental noise we've heard and felt true joy close your eyes and feel the things around your body all the weighted knees and blades crumble free (i dont feel much like going out come sit with me let's talk) close your eyes and feel the space around your body every memory of hiding, tuck your feet (tear off your socks come sit with me let's talk) close your eyes and feel the skin around your body gentle warm and breathe you've found home, now sleep
