Nothing Else 03:56
lyrics
buy track
We thought we heard a child Within the wall But there is none It's empty And if you can accept it And your hope fades You found it You found a better way There's nothing else There's nothing else There's nothing else There's nothing else You can try to pin it down To contain it If you look too close It'll drift away Give your suffering a name To give it meaning But it has no end Your world won't change There's nothing else There's nothing else There's nothing else There's nothing else

Father and Son 04:45
lyrics
buy track
I never asked What time meant to you I was too scared I never learned from you How you got through So many nights Away from home Why did i let you go? The difference between Father and son You were strong and there was no darkness in you You found meaning in what you had to do Sometimes I wonder What you thought of me And pine wood and sprue trees Now I can’t sleep Through pattern days I’m not free Locked up with people Who can’t know me The difference between Father and son You were strong and there was no darkness in you You found meaning in what you had to do I wish you'd come by One more time Arms full of hope To erase my crimes But I know you won't It's just me I'm still awake And full of memories The difference between Father and son You were strong and there was no darkness in you You found meaning in what you had to do

Our Moon 04:46
lyrics
buy track
I moved between our rooms I did not want to choose It's the last time, I know I promised i would go Beneath the dirt is rock Beneath the rock, crystal Beneath the rock I see a world like ours The moon is our moon The moon is our moon We have our mission assigned We have our mission assigned My way is so dark Just shadows and cold It’s empty and alone I know I won’t come home I fought nature and the sun Burned limbs no way to run We learned our hopes aren't real Now go find someone new The moon is our moon The moon is our moon We have our mission assigned We have our mission assigned

There's No Question 03:35
lyrics
buy track
There's no question in my mind When I'm almost at the brink And done with everything I wonder what's the point Reality is dull Stay in the room, don't retreat I have bad thoughts They're my old self I'm trying to push them away I don't want you to know the real me ’Cause I'm afraid of what you'll see A black fly’s nest clings To the rafters of my mind Thoughts fill the dry air There's an evil little world inside of me Just waiting to be free I have bad thoughts They're my old self I'm trying to push them away I don't want you to know the real me ’Cause I'm afraid of what you'll see There's no question in my heart When you're on the balcony looking over your shoulder at me Your goodness pulls me back I can be a different man One who sees that life has meaning

Collision 06:39
lyrics
buy track
All my fears collide I come alive at night Please say everyday won't be like this With melted amps and telephone wheels Bloodlines run up your arm Give me your hand All my fears collide I come alive at night We fight in bars, your cousin died again Can you learn can you change who you are As a tree moves a stone underground I will change myself for you All my fears collide I come alive at night

Keep It Hidden Son 04:56
lyrics
buy track
Hide in a damp basement Hide beside a weaving creek White of brown cattails protect you From death and family Hide behind a pile of bricks Or a hill of dry black snow Far from the minds of hollow people And their empty eyes that think they know Keep it hidden son Keep it hidden son Don't let anyone through Don't let anyone know you In the leaves I kicked a rat When you're dry and dead like that Even the bugs leave you alone Everyone leaves you alone Before he left, the rat made a will He sat alone and wrote until It had the words he could never say Then he hid it and ran away Keep it hidden son Keep it hidden son Don't let anyone through Don't let anyone know you It said don't worry I don't blame you You left our home because you had to It's ok I understand I forgive you Because I know what you've been through We are the makers of our own meaning When you were home you were always dreaming Of other places that no one could find You came alive when you left us behind Keep it hidden son Keep it hidden son Don't let anyone through Don't let anyone know you Don't let anyone through Don't let anyone know you

This River's Too Fast 05:30
lyrics
buy track
Let's slide down the slippery path Scrape our way along the railroad tracks We get to choose how we spend our time Nowhere to go, no one who minds We don't have much stuff to carry round A red cats eye and some toys we found And I have you and I can sing your name Ooooo This river's too fast This river's too fast We don't have far to go Let's make it last It's a simple thing to change your mind So how come after all these years I'm not alright We walked down to the rocks of the dry riverbed Set up our camp, our bright orange tent It's not a lot, we don't need much On cold hard ground we have each other's touch We'll be safe here I said Let's lay down to bed Stay close to me, rest your head But I wasn't right We didn't make it through the night I should've known a storm would come Why couldn't I have been the one Washed away By the dark water This river's too fast This river's too fast We don't have far to go Let's make it last You dropped a part of your wing Into the smoke from the dust on a dying light I'm barely living in the shadow of your ghost Oooooo

Thank You and Goodbye 04:32
lyrics
buy track
Call me down To get rid of special things That long ago Lost their meaning Things have no soul But still I will say Thank you and goodbye Now you're awake How long was your dream Did it last for you As long as it seemed? Or was it over In an instant? Thank you and goodbye Our house is small With a large antenna On a wooden spire It’s where I receive messages Like don’t fight yourself Then the conversation's forgotten Thank you and goodbye Good families Lose nothing in a fire I am made of mistakes I will start over When I die say I died No passing away Thank you and goodbye
