Outside
The wind tries
To love like
Those inside
Though they cry
All night
For those who never could
Never Could
As though I ever could
Ever Could

...Then Came the Swing
05:03
|

Wasted
Misunderstanding of your circumstances
Salt soaks in
Into a wound that I had failed to mend
When I saw them
I feared for my home and I abandoned it
And you said
It was my fault again
Face to ground
I don't think I could feel anymore guilt for
Breaking down
Or any name you choose to give her
My lungs against
Every one of your sins
Again and again you give them second chances
And now I'm screaming in anguish
Into a desolate pillow who has only known me
Known me
And then you came out swinging
With the frightening notion
You could never own me
Or want me
I know I do better on my own
I can cry about it when I'm home
when my name's written on your hands again
I could never cry for a holy one
But if the innocence was what I sought
I am already on my knees
I know I do better on my own
I can cry about it when I'm home
When my name's written on your hands again
I could never cry for a holy one
But if the innocence was what I sought
I am already on my knees

Sometimes I'm Afraid
04:00
|

Pathetically curled on your couch again
And I couldn't tell when the morning began but
I know the night ended somewhere between my apology
And your hands
Drunkenly trying to hold it down
Burning the bush you won't beat around
And I could cry "I only want the best for you"
But you know it takes more to be happy
And I always tell you I love you
You tell me you
Love me too
Sometimes I'm afraid
We don't mean it the same
But too often I'm scared that we do
Off and on I could hear everything
You set the alarm but you're dreading the ring
While I was too lost in the way you glow
In the sun
Through your window
And I leaned in and I kissed you
You sighed and you kissed me too
Sometimes I'm afraid we don't mean it the same
But too often I'm scared that we do
I guess we'll never know
If I never grow
I can try hard to be yours
But you know it takes more to be happy
You know it takes more to be happy
You know it takes more
You know it takes more
I always tell you I love you
You tell me you love me too
Sometimes I'm afraid we don't mean it the same
But too often I'm scared that we do
Sometimes I'm afraid we don't mean it the same
But too often I'm scared that we do

A Counterfeit Weight
04:58
|
|||
On the eve of when we
Decided that we
Never could be
Satiated
You held out your hands
for giving or taking
A kindness never lost on me
Is that what we're calling it now
Your sympathy in a shroud
To never be seen again
I always dreamed that I
Would see it before I die
Just one last time
If I fall
Would you need another hand to hold me
Down
One last call
And that's all that I could do to make you
Proud
By the time the sun rose
And your love had gone home
All you feel now is the weight on your chest
You hate what you've built till now
You're burning it to the ground
And dancing to spread the ash
When every dream has passed
Which morning will be the last
And why am I grateful now
If I fall
Would you need another hand to hold me
Down
One last call
And that's all that I could do to make you
Proud
If I fall
Would you need another hand to hold me
Down
One last call
And that's all that I could do to make you
Proud

I'm Still Not There
02:34
|
|||
The both of us were crying on the porch
In a fulminating shroud
Of wasted breath
I took my time
Cause I knew it'd be the last I was afforded
Even though it made no sense
It doesn't matter
You don't owe me a goddamned thing
I'll learn to live without
I've always been without
You were always on the outside looking in
Calling me worthless
Weighing in on my sins
I just wanna be
Someone who's worth your time
I'm sorry that I wasted it
A sorry little waste of skin
I am ill defined
If you have to ask again
You should probably check with him
He's a better man than I
And I have tried all my life
Oh God I've tried
There's a congregation outside on the porch
Even though we've made our peace
And lived ahead
I'm still not there
I can only think of how I don't deserve this
