Bottom of the Hill was the place that we first met
You didn't even hear my set
What's the name of my band?
Back then in the shade,
We became windswept for days
Your face was a mess of words
Your face was just a blur
But let's not entertain any of those false regrets
You know that's a losing bet,
Wonder where the hours went
Peace won't come from what I found
You left an open door
At the bottom
Peace is not your hollow sound
I left that on the floor
At the bottom
As if I'd like to be a curtain on your stage
To be bound in a corset
Just a wife with a cleft
It's all left behind, I've got the sun as my new guide
It's the engine of this ride
Heading on to better times
And I don't mind peeling back that dirty rind
Getting closer to a prime
That reveals a moon inside
Peace is what I finally found
I went and shut the door
At the bottom
Peace is just a brand new sound
I picked up off the floor
At the bottom

Spiral
04:41
|

Up the spiral
In a tree house
A minute to be
Lotus-eaters
Pushing on through
The evening drew
A horizon full
Of drunk colors
I don't love you
It's so much more
Like a bright day
A coast of coral
A spark of hope that's dotted on you
We climb to seek a new way out
From this world run by cartoons
Those who slumber
Under umbras
They become prey
For the cruel
Stay the course true
We could rescue
Some sweet berries
Feed each other
No longer fools
Our fate eschewed
We mark the landing
Where a dream brews
A spark of hope that's dotted on you
We climb to seek a new way out
From this world run by cartoons
Forever northbound
This side of the west
We’re yet to be found
By anyone
We're living a life off
Dollars and cents

Frames

Don't mess around
You can't be alone
On the ocean floor
The nightingale
Came to the door
With a new love letter
But you simply sighed
You left it outside
You could have made it
Could have made it out right
You heard a sound
Deep in the core
Like a splitting tether
Now unbound
It climbs high above
Inviting pale weather
But you paid the price
You let the habit bite
Now you hang in light
She never even knew
You bid away your life
You came to my door
I could not find anyone
I found you behind
A frame of bone

Seven Ways
03:31
|
|||
You are a fire
Masked in the light
I laid down wire
For something divine
I will search inside
For the day you went astray
You will not wrap me like a spider
In a bridal gown
Hushed among the choir
I could peel the wound
I will reach to find
Seven ways to operate
I'll escape
Let me out
I left my heart
On the floor
Let me out
I gave you my heart
In two

Carousel
04:23
|

Eating cake on a carousel
Talking shit with animals
I used to be feral
Now my heart's still
Trade a code of honor
For a coat of armor
You can't mend
This new fault line
Everyone gets lost
In their own power
Hit the ground as the ceiling fell
That fear of loss I couldn't quell
I used to sleep better
By your warm heels
Trade a code of honor
For a coat of armor
You can't mend
This new fault line
Everyone gets lost
In their own power
Won’t you leave it all behind?
I can’t see the clouds anymore
Don't leave it in the wine
Drank so much
Now I'm locked inside
Just like you did
Eating cake on a carousel

Cocoon
04:55
|
|||
Wrapped in love letters
To be something new
Cocoon
Twist my face 'til it
Looks brand new
Like something you drew
Cocoon
Got whiplash
From the abrupt contrast
And now I'm bare
With this old heart strewn over you
Cocoon
Quietly kept in the dark
Like an unhatched brood
Cocoon
Skew the facts 'til
They fit the view
Of your very own pew
Cocoon
Tried to craft
These gifts with the past
Some new songs for you
But they're all out of tune
Cocoon

Incandescent Plumes
03:19

I can hear your ocean
and I feel it breathe
Everyone said I ought to run
(I did)
You ripped my letters
I wake up
My belly is full of
Bad blood
Power
Spit it out at me
Bad blood
I still fear this motion
and I feel it breed
In the back of a crooked mind
(I know)
I let you out of that cell
Now, my dear,
Tear me out of myself
Bad blood
Power
Beat it outta me
Bad blood

The Wave
03:49
|
|||
I needed a way
The dream of a day
To dig you out
Of the snow
You needed to pray
With that last straw
Had a doubt
That we could stay
A needle in hay
Your new hideout
Let me know
And I’ll be there
The wave
Meet me under
The wave
I’ll save the date
Take me under the wave
I let it go
Over the wave
Meet me under
The wave
Any town, and wait
Let me slip away
We drifted away
Fleeced by the Bay
Ejected out
In the storm
Back in the fray
With our glass thoughts
Had a doubt
That we could stay
I’m needing your shade
The new way out
Undertow
Take me there
The wave
Meet me under
The wave
I’ll save the date
Take me under the wave
I let it go
Over the wave
Meet me under
The wave
Any town, and wait
Let me slip away
And by the time we left
Everyone was back in la la land
They have a trance for you
A trance for two

Skyscraper Shade
03:00
|

What I need
Is to mute sound
Of this whole crowd
Snot-nosed tweens flock around
Powell and pout
No way out now
Least I found
Some drinks to pound
Migraines out
Snakes dressed in their chambray
Pigeons wilding out
Head in the clouds
But if you can find something new
Inside a nightclub VR room
Just feel blessed to be one of the few
Who burn their cash on superfoods
Crane your neck
High-rises crown
This whole town
You'd be a fool to stay
Silver spoons gouge
But if you can find something new
Inside a nightclub VR room
Just feel blessed to be one of the few
Who burn their cash on superfoods
