Nothing Else
03:56

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
|

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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
