The Stream (free) 02:43
lyrics
download
I remember when You said that if you whisper to the breeze Somebody would hear you shouting out your hopes and dreams But isn’t it funny that the stream has never heard your cries As it picks you up, sweeps you away and swallows up your life Now you can fly your kite and you can plant your seeds But the rain keeps on falling while the water’s rising in the stream And your kite came crashing down And your seeds will never blossom because these flowers have all drowned They’re drowning You’re fucking drowning And now you’ve planted your roots beneath the grass and fallen leaves You stand tall but when the wind blows you start swaying in the breeze Until that stream that once got you so wet Will uproot you and you’ll never see the sun Again You’ll never see the sun again You’ll never see this sun again

Stones (free) 02:40
lyrics

Gather these stones; gather the nerve, to cast at shadows The floorboards keep this house awake, these walls never had much to say It’s been a while since solid ground dwelled under my feet It’s been a while since I’ve opened my eyes and pulled my tongue from cheek Since I forgot how to fall Since I haven’t been mistaken Since I’ve been this vulnerable Looks like we stand out in the open As summer nights are laid to rest, we control our breathing No need to impress because we’ll never forget this person’s got the best of me Searching for meaning in brown-green eyes, looking for anything that might tell me why At night I’m able to sleep and always anticipating the sun rise

Withered (free) 03:41
lyrics
download
And we stare up at the stars wondering how we’ll make it through these days Searching for answers written across the sky but solemnly drawing blanks But they’ve got their hearts set on a dire dream on breathing in an industry that’s self-destructive Devising plans to one day emulate everything they think they ought to be And they’re screaming But we can’t hear them As profit margins dance up with the clouds we hope one day it all comes crashing down And sleeps in graveyards They stare up at the screen exchanging innocence and self-esteem For distorted views of orchids past full bloom and bare leaf trees with withered, barren roots With matches fueling our intentions we’ll be dancing on the ashes of what held us down, what choked us up And we’ll scream for a new confidence and a self-respect we thought we’d never feel, again

To Breathe (free) 03:38
lyrics
download
Waving in the wind again Wishing for cool light on this hot night out of hinds sight just like we’ve always been We shall cloak our disarray careful not to stumble all along the way Tight-lipped feelings bumping limbs at war with words knowing full well we’ll never win Getting lost again. Reflecting on past moons again Jumping boarders, hopping fences into a silence neither deafening nor subdued Take the stalks swaying in stride; breathe in the landscape through these sunken tired eyes This could signify a change in times, no more scraping through or barely getting by Getting lost again. Foundations shaking loose again Trying to escape this sense of self, holding onto guiding hands as they transfer the guilt They can’t grasp what’s graced your eyes; the clouds are moving in on incandescent skies Pulse dictates that you’re still alive but you’re not so sure this time Getting lost again.

Get Tough (If Cz Taught Me Anything) (free) 05:59
lyrics
download
This could be the end We may be bleeding but we’re still breathing And this could be the end Where you stare at your feet, swab the blood from your knees wondering why Everything has changed It’s the world that’s in bloom and there’s nothing kid, nothing left, for you to latch onto Time to get tough it was long overdue I’m done waiting For the world to come to This could be the end Of our old hearts so heavy and bitter And this could be the end Where our eyes feel a little bit lighter You can’t grow up in vein Watch the snow falling into the palm of your hand Wondering why you’ve never seen All the intricacies and content you can finally sing
