Why don't you change your mind?
I say into a speaker in the back of my mind
Leave it behind, I want to make it feel like you've replied
And I am inside the speaker phone that keeps us intertwined
Running behind, I tried to make you listen but you run wild
If I wanted to, I wouldn't say so
If you've lost your point of view
It's never the same,
I'm too lost to stay
It's all right to say
Why don't you change your mind?
I say to the speechless you running blind
Have we fallen behind?
If eyes can say what you really want to be
Were we ever entwined?
Or a pause from the soot we desperately wanted to leave
Taken inside, you slip through the cracks as I run wild
If I wanted to, I wouldn't say so
If you've lost your point of view
It's never the same,
I'm too lost to stay
It's all right to say
Why don't you change your mind?
I say into the speakers blasting outside
"We've fallen behind"
I feel you pull your punches for the last time

Albany

Albany, I am lost inside a dream
Where you seem to be running after me
And I feel a pull coming overseas
Pushing me to change the course I'd seized
Why don't you say so?
"If you don't"
I couldn't let go
If you won't talk about it
Then I won't want to shout it
If you won't talk about it
Then we'll both run around it
Now I see a friction growing underneath
Tension built, to withstand the changing breeze
But Albany, I am stuck inside your seems
Cut me loose, finally to breathe
Why don't you say so?
"If you don't"
I couldn't let go
If you want to talk about it
Then we can't run around it
If you want to talk about it
Then we'll both have to shout it
It's not the exact picture that I had built
But it's one I've always felt

Shape A Mirage

Why do you feel like I've realized all your patterns in this changing season?
Try to analyze the sign of the time that keeps me in rewind
Find, then to keep the bittersweet afternoons of pleasure
Right underneath all the sheets that we walked home to together
Call out the ones that kept you from a lasting forever
Face all the facts to then retract all the guilt you'd measured
For all the dudes and their hues, made of synthetic pleather
Shape a mirage, forget the shades, just picture perfect colours
Why did you say that you want stay?
If you want to stay
Then you want to stay

Imbue ya, into ya
I'd like to see straight through you in the morning time
When we still aren't blinded by the sun
To you and through you
I'd like to see within you with our evening minds
When we still aren't blinded by ourselves
You don't you expect me to dance
To the tune of everyone else's demands
You don't leave it to chance
Or take from anyone else's plans
Helped me, not shelved me
You're not the one who found me floating by, on the honey side of the your croon
Away from a weightless and faithless distance when you do remind
That our thoughts aren't blinded by the sun
You don't expect me to dance
To the tune of everyone else's demands
Then, I've expose all my lacks
For you to see, are all my stutters and cracks

The water dripped down, slow, on to your face
From the reddest tree, leaves fall to it's base
Slow slow slow, we know
"I don't wait for snow" you said
"I don't mind it taking it's time to grow"
From the ground up it snuck
Then onto our windows
When for another time
We let our minds go

Spun and Still Beholden
02:57

Do you believe in the past that you've chosen?
Free to conceive in a life you're supposing
Isn't as free as the path you're proposing
Will you leave once the ice has unfrozen?
There isn't a catch to the path less stolen
From the ones spun and still beholden
To a past more cold, bare and frozen
Are you the rat that steals all that we're holding?
Do you want to talk?
Or do you want to listen?
It's a start

In Your Eyes
01:55

It's in your eyes
I see it all the time
Through their size
It's in your smile
Wondering, through the night
Wondering, through my mind
It's in the light
That you bathe in
All our life
Pondering

Next Year's Parties

I hear you're doing well
There have been all of us that have been through hell
I hear you're doing fine
There hasn't been a lot of space between you from my mind
And I still can't breathe
Comfortably at my ease
So I might be back next year
Truth be told I fell
For the likes of us we knew so well
Such a simple find
There haven't been a lot of months between yours and mine
When the snow falls at ease
Comfortably at my feet
So I might be back next year
So I might be back next year
If the winter stays so clear
I've got nothing to fear
I might be back next year

The better part of another start is that it keeps me whole
And gives me control of what I want
The feeling that never parts is a sum total
Of a life so full of lost energy
Yet it keeps me whole
And it gives me control
Yes it keeps me whole
And it gives me control
Is everyone in their little stars a failure still?
But I'm not at will to gift us both
Do you premeditate the failure
And the dangerous cost of everything?
Yet it eats me whole
As it feeds me control
Yet it eats me whole
As it feeds me control
As it eats me whole

And Out The Other Side

I couldn't say it
You're light made me choke
I couldn't face it
It took me by surprise
If you are naked
With emotion, it leaves me whole
I couldn't face it
Your light made me choke
I don't like it when you leave
I couldn't face you in my sleep
I just like it when you're a face that I can see
A calm that never flees
I couldn't take it
I was blinded by my mind
If I could name it
Was it too far or too precise?
I felt it
Brushing up against me
Fresh judgement
There wasn't a word that I could breathe
I don't like it when you leave
I couldn't face you in my sleep
I just like it when you're a face that I can see
A calm that never flees
A fate that I could seize
Was pressing up on me
A face that I could see
You're not a face that I could leave
I couldn't say what I didn't say to you
