Miss your words and run it again You know it listens feel it listening Left a stain on part of your heart Is something missing oh Are you honesty? Is it numb? Can it throw you off the world and Tuck you in all just the same? Pay no mind I’m just tired Bite your cheek and swallow the moon Its coursing through your veins A natural groove Climb the rest and turn it around Is someone listening Telling what you need? Piece by piece! Oh they know they know You are not set in stone Pay no mind You’re on fire & I know I saw this view before Toss & turn inside of your head Your eyes wont lie if static fills your mind Watch and see those sinners of sun Dont know whats missing oh Are we honesty? & I’m just tired Quit trying to give me a name I just want to be free Please dont die I’m here with you

Bodies 04:13
Up until this night he was alone A girl who stood in rubble Letting thoughts meander like thoughts tend to do They always do Out under the ocean was their heart Never seeming to start unless some irony Had torn away the veil of you and me Of you and me You never know until its in your bones A scream between your eyes a burning door & I’ll show you around It’s time you came down How will they release what they won’t know? Feel your roots go tense While the empty screen begins to gleam and grow Release the hold You never know until its in your bones A stone you swallowed years and years ago & I’ll show you around It’s time you came down Find yourself a place to rest your mind & You hold a glass half full But your head’s against the wall again The song you sing to haul the ending through Just move to the sound & you never know until you feel the hole The breeze it passes freely through them now & our bodies are found It’s time you came down About time you came down

Augustine 04:09
Spirit of my hope Shamelessly alive with that wild breath in tow They’ll show you the ropes All my friends with broken bodies Hold me when i’m broke & I’m pretty sure we know & I’m pretty sure the night Doesn’t think about the snow But don’t be scared To breathe in Cause its fine with me oh Fine with me oh Fine with me oh She rocks me back to sleep Somewhere between a saint & a wildflower breeze Well give me eyes to see The night you cut so deep & all the walls began to breathe But dont be scared To lean in Cause its fine with me oh Fine with me oh Fine with me oh oooooooooh All that will remain The knot between your lungs It calls you out across the sea Your excavation release Is fine with me oh Fine with me oh Fine with me oh

Geist 03:25
Into a light with thoughts unsatisfied Or so we thought dear Pierce the night to reach around your eyes Running my fingers Through your hair oh Stare for a while Mmmmmmm Into a life slowly running out of ways And reasons holding Into a life creating out of dust Into another place Place we might call home Oooooooooh Home ooooooooh Frame of mind to hold and gather through No longer needing Peace in the night to those who dare to leave Into another home Free from pointing out what’s wrong here Oh what’s wrong here Oh what’s wrong here Oooooooh

& the next time you cry its every single drop you have Its empty air that shuts you up and eats your fear Eat your fear My hands are dry they've worked enough Can someone hold a heart A trough of bricks and dirt and weeds and such Something will make you grow Something will make you grow & it creeps within Won’t need to sin & you know it’s a lie & you know you’re all right Wide awake a knife’s inside your blood This body is not what I know of truth and love My skin is the wind that I follow up above We shoulder the load and the days blend into one This body is not what I know of truth and love The night you wake with a knife inside your blood This body is not what I know of truth and love The night you wake with a knife inside your blood

Running out of a known relation Hungry for some skin Felt it earlier I’ll admit but How do I convince I’m not a killer pining for pain? Ohhhh Redemption Day Oh come redemption day Ready up for the scream inside you Grasping for some way Come on down to a shady grove And sit down with some tea You’re not a killer, just don’t think too much Ooooooh redemption day Oh come redemption day Reading up on a sinful magpie Caught between those lines All they ever needed was someone To hear them cry I just want home to be within my own Ohhhhhh redemption day Oh come redemption day Oh laaaaaahhhh Oh lahhh
