You are spots of light and color,
swimming across my eyes
when I first step into darkness
You are as real as the memory of day,
couldn't convince you to stay
You took my sunshine away,
you took my light
You are a candle falling apart,
floating in the middle of the sea
as I stand at the humid shoreline
You are as real as ships sailing away,
couldn't convince you to stay
You took my sunshine away,
you took my light

Gloria, hold my hand through the worst part
I'll go down, pick some blackberries from the porch
I bet it's warm in Georgia
and there's always someone to hold you tight
when your brother scares you in the middle of the night
I wish I was in Atlanta,
feeling everything for the first time
Julius, remember Olympics in '96?
Before David died,
when the world was bright
God was on our side,
our guiding light
I wish I was in Atlanta,
feeling everything for the first time

Lonesome You
04:40
|

|
There will be no one to hold your hand and tell you it's right
Nothing to harsh the glow of day after night
There will be nothing to shield your eyes when the world is too bright
Just you, lonesome you
swimming in the sunlight
There will be no certain truth of a well lived life
Some sense of relief that it was worth the fight
There will be no one to hold your hand and guide you out of the night
Just you, lonesome you
swimming in the sunlight
And when you're weightless
and light is surrounding you,
it will surely be blinding

A Reason To Leave
03:23
|
|||
|
You said "this ain't so bad after all"
I said "maybe now I'll feel full"
I held your hand and you looked twice
My eyes are tired and I shaved my beard
You might not recognize me, I had a hard time trying to leave
You were my everything, now I fall asleep to the sound of a train
I tried hard not to let go when you let go
I held on years in hope, you know?
I wasn't always this graceless, but I waited
and I waited for you
Been drowning your voice out of my ears,
been drowning myself here
I was never good at leaving home,
but it wasn't home without you
You might not recognize me,I misplaced myself in-between
I was your everything, now I fall asleep to the sound of a train
I tried hard not to let go when you let go
I held on years in hope, you know?
I wasn't always this graceless, but I waited
and I waited for you

Rid
02:24
|
|||
|
I want to sail away to sea, rid the darker part of me
All I want is to feel free, shed the weight and let it leave
I want to sail away to sea, rid the darker part of me
I'll sail away to sea, become a feather-like me

Dead Frogs
03:51
|
|
||
|
Coke and peaches, my teeth will surely stain
Oh, my sweetness, I have y'all to blame
Just let me swim in the sunlight
Fake flowers now glitter on your grave
Take my heart, the good parts, the rest erase/
Just let me swim in the sunlight
We'd play in the grass,
I'd probably pee in your pool
and pick dead frogs out of the water
The sun is setting now and the lights are underwater
Just let me swim in the sunlight

Thundercloud
04:14
|

|
Stretch me thin, muscle tough skin
It wears me out
Kiss me then, tear soaked chin
What's it about?
Well, where you been, my lonely friend?
My thundercloud, soaked in sin
Hold me when I'm underwater
Someway, somewhere to start again
My heart descends, my soft bones bend
Wind'll take me away
I'm melting thin, my lonely friend
Don't let me stay soaked in sin
Hold me when I'm underwater
Someway, somewhere to start again

Out Of Focus
04:25
|
|||
|
I want life out of focus,
soften its edges
I want time out of synch:
stretched out, shrunk down
I want life out of focus,
soften its edges
What am I supposed to do with this?
I'm supposed to get used to it?
A puzzle where the pieces used to fit.
Gnarly and blinding,
the day leaves me naked like a boy in the doctor’s office
I float away to get through the day
I'm supposed to be the one who's brave
The truth is, I've always been afraid
Gnarly and blinding,
the days leave me naked like a boy in the doctor’s office
I want life out of focus,
soften its edges

Love Glow
02:32
|
|||
|
All the things we say
to soften the blow
to soothe the soul
All the places we
call a home
when we're all alone
All I need is your love for me
All the faces we
wear right through,
afraid to be true
All the things we do
to feel complete
and without need
I still need your love for me
My love flows like blood through my veins
My love glows like the edge of fire,
blurring against the night

For Aviva

Love is true not when new,
but when worn out and crude
and you can't help but know
it's truly inside of you.
