We grew old, wasted time, we gathered pieces
Held them close, held them still, nothing reaches
Saw ourselves as kings and queens we grew colder
Made grand plans for modern things, we grew older
It’s not easier, it’s not easier, it’s not easier to lie
Magpies keep shiny things
Took our sliver spoons, we melted 'em down, these crowns are hollow
Cast our hopes aside, let it all go, no one follows
So weighed down with who we were then, don't be so modest
Tired oaths, honor and thieves, don’t be so honest
It’s not easier, it’s not easier, it’s not easier to lie
So lie, lie to me

All of you talk about the good old days
Like it was all you had
Got choked up on the fear change
To make the young ones mad
Said we hold to tight to what we love
Watch our hands still shake
Tightened my grip, when it got too rough
This wasn’t my mistake
We’ve been too suspicious
No I wasn’t worried, won’t pretend I’m sorry
Can’t say I’m not bothered, I’m just underfed
I raised my head to meet their pain
Could it have been so bad
Running in circles, oh what a shame
Or is it oh so sad
Crooked smiles told the whitest lies
They felt like hunger pains
Hidden truth behind bloodshot eyes
It feels like home again
We’ve Been Superstitious
No I wasn’t worried, won’t pretend I’m sorry
Can’t say I’m not bothered, I’m just underfed
We been too suspicious
But Ive been underwhelmed
Can't be so superstitious
I'm just underfed

Drift in and out
Spaces between
Listen with doubt
Lose feeling
I never remember
How it feels
On top of the world
I’m soaring high
Fading, absurd
I never remember
When I was young
Falling to my knees
Confessing stories
I never once believed
I never remember, how long it takes
I fell asleep in the sun
I know I’m not the only one
This was over before it had begun
It’s easy to forgive you when I’m walking in the air
Clouds so dense with warning, praying I don’t make it there
It’s like holding on for something , that’s always so far away
Then chasing back the reasons in the mornings I’m awake
I never remember
How it feels, to fall fast asleep
I’m wide awake,I’m no hero in my dreams
I’m no hero in my dreams

Ive been counting my days
Memories coming in waves
Trying to keep up, my head its going under
Ive been holding my breath
Trying to keep with rest
Trying to keep up, my head its going under
No ones coming back for me, so sank behind these crooked teeth
Buried my name in every tempest sea
Overflow, yes it overflows
Overflow, yes it overflows
Make believe Ive got a second chance, I’m not so broken not some happenstance
Ive been troubled but I’ve held my own, looking to exit never seeing home
Im treading water but I’m not afraid, I don’t know if my lungs can escape
Ive been drowning in the open, let the ocean drag me down

Mercy Me

I picked apart my open sores
Wounds and flesh like open doors
This emptiness felt like home
With tongue and cheek you made it worse
Thought we'd stumble on your words
Your eagerness stole the show
Oh mercy me, Im exactly where Im suppose to be
Now watch it slip away, as you leave
Oh mercy me I was wondering if you’d like to see
Me throw it all away, I let you leave
Push and pulled to fill the void
Wrapped my head in quiet noise
The sound remains as you go
We watched you twist at every turn
Reinvent the lessons learned
Just know the ache starts out slow
Oh mercy me, Im exactly where Im suppose to be
Now watch it slip away, as you leave
Oh mercy me I was wondering if you’d like to see
Me throw it all away, I let you leave
I should have known, (What) You've always been
Oh mercy me, Im exactly where Im suppose to be
Now watch it slip away, as you leave
Oh mercy me I was wondering if you’d like to see
Me throw it all away, I let you leave

Hang ups in my ears
It was easier when I was fear
Loosen up my lips
Catch your secrets as they slip
Mother may I let you down
Watch me as I fall asleep
You won’t hear another peep
Pass me up a little more
I’ll be easier to ignore
Wind me like a little toy
I’ll be sitting tight with the boys
Mother may I let you down

Hang my head to dry
I’m tired of the rain
Holy roller step aside
I’m filled with to much pain
It’s Humid in the aftermath
Sweat dripping from the brow
Mary, mother, holy death
I’m waiting for you now
Can you feel it rising, left burning in the sun
Poisoned by forgiveness, dripping off the tongue
Isn’t it familiar here
Martyrs shifting through the crowd
Strangers of the burdened life
Always tripping on my vows
You can take this tenderness
And hold it to flame
Brand me the modern witch
To gallows we can hang
Can you feel it rising,left burning in the sun
Poisoned by forgiveness, dripping of the tongue
Take me to the river, no one has to know
We won’t be forgotten in the valley down below

Cower here, close and near
Linger slowly, nice and lowly
Disappear, far from here
Come back only, harsh and lonely
Harsh and cold
Laying dizzy in this bed
Like the widow in your web
How you spin me around
I ain’t ever coming down
I ain’t ever, I ain’t ever coming down
You can blame me for the worst of this
How could I know just what to say about how to exist
You might need me for the rest of this
How could you live with know one to save, no one to dismiss
Cower here close, and near
Linger slowly, nice and lowly
You spin me around
