Willow Trees 03:01
Maybe your voice will drift back my way one day Etched into these zeroes and ones And I’ll listen to you And just like how Bobby D’s used to It’ll make me itch 'til I bleed melody I wish that every night we could grow a willow tree at the foot of your bed Some nights I wake with a start in pain I watch my parents die before they should go And I see you walk away as I’m struggling to stay Will I always see the sunlight by its shadow? I wish that every night we could grow a willow tree at the foot of your bed I wanna give up All I have to do is throw in the towel There you are… there you are… There you are… would you hand it back? I wish that every night we could grow a willow tree at the foot of your bed

Long Enough 04:41
Old Virginia - even I can feel your scars For a church from a coffin, you needn’t look very far Just need to look up - look up before we’re gone We drink that blood up til it’s washed from our memory And drown our past in valor and vaguery Just need to look up - look up before we’re all gone I’ve spent a long enough time being afraid to die But fear can’t make me - no fear won’t keep me alive Just need to look up - look up before we’re all gone I’ve spent a long enough time being afraid to die But fear can’t make me - no fear won’t keep me alive

Born in a minefield of pretenders They said I’d never die but I would surely leave I’ve got years, I’ve got months, I’ve got days to find it A hopeless kind of courage that’ll get me through the flames If I look and I look then I might find it In the air, in the earth, somewhere in the sky Well if money and power, if they don’t make it Here’s to knowing we’re all gunna- Bloodshot eyes, when twice too many times ain’t quite enough In a dream I was young but somehow older In a field I was found piece by piece apart I saw vines through a place that don’t have a future A grave over top and underneath the ground Ground Bloodshot eyes, when twice too many times ain’t quite enough Maybe somehow we’ll live to witness an answer If we keep us safe from ourselves for some time Then we could cherish our troubles forever At least for how long forever is- Bloodshot eyes, when twice too many times ain’t quite enough

To think there were a thousand times I thought I’d had my fill Contentment redefined Over decades cities built Contentment compromised All can change in the breeze Can change with a smile I never minded who I was Now I’m remembering who I am A stranger in the crowd Who’s been waiting like a friend You know I’ve dreaming of you Sitting in the sun Lazing like a child Just let me sit up on the edge Just let me sit up on the edge Just let me sit up on the edge We could look over the lights With the end at arm’s length Laughing at our lives You know I’ve been waiting for you To sit right next to me To feel young again To think there’ll be a thousand times I swear I’ve had my fill Resentment nullified Over centuries cities willed You know I’ve dreaming of you Laying in the sun Staring with a smile

Stay Still 03:19
Appalachia, you’ve got a funny sense of nihilism Won’t you sing us a song of tenderness? Anesthesia, resting sweet within our minds It’s been trickling from the vine – a nectar If the sands could erode your pain away Would you stay still? - Just stay still The wind like wisdom whispering Stay still, just stay still Impatience, insecurity You haunt even the weeds with your nonsense Take your narratives, shove them back down your throat If you think it’s time to go, then it’s too late If the sands could erode your pain away Would you stay still? - Just stay still The wind like wisdom whispering Stay still, just stay still Connections they make fools of us Building cracks around the edge We cave in the middle If the sands sing comforting lies to you Would you listen? Would you listen? Trading ease for fact in happenstance Would you listen? Would you listen? And stay still… stay still, stay still

Love Songs 03:34
I may never fall in love again See I’ve been around here before So that’d be okay I’ve been knocking on the door For years now hoping I’d find someone like you some day I’ve been writing all the days (every day) That I’ve been feeling this way I’m sick of love songs I ain’t sick of love You know I’m happy when I’m with you girl Something tells me it’ll be alright Forever’s a long time you know But I felt a bit of it last night I’ve been counting all the ways Things could end up okay I’m sick of love songs I ain’t sick of love I told you I’d never let your neverminds get away If it were up to me I’d put a straw right between our brains And it’d keep flowing even on our worst days You never know what’s around the corner But something always comes A call in the night We found ourselves standing in a field under starlight Things have changed but you can’t change the sky I’ve been looking in your eyes And they’ve been shining out daylight I’m sick of love songs I ain’t sick of love

Nothing More 03:43
Just a link in the chain And it’s rattling to the core Sure, I’ve loved the child’s play babe But I ain’t a child no more I was up too early this morning I was twisting in my sheets Thinking of a place that don’t exist anymore Is that what I’m pining for? A place that don’t exist? I’d like nothing more than to melt into that voice of yours Let it hold me as I die a slow death I can’t stand to feel alone After all the things we’ve tried I'd give a piece of myself to atone If it meant that feeling we had stayed in mind Stay I’d like nothing more than to melt into that voice of yours Let it hold me as I die a slow death

Tired 03:51
There’s a gentleness in this collapse So please go rest a few, then come right back I wanna joke with you on kitchen floors And hear the pavement crunch beneath your tires You must be tired now of being near, You must be tired now of taking care You take good care of me when I fall behind And every single time I lose my mind. But I crave aloneness dear, I crave it bad I hate this hunger I didn’t think I’d have I wish I missed you, I wish I’d call I wish I wanted to be by you at all Every couple years or so we cycle through All the lives we’ve lived, we pick and choose We’re growing up my love in little spurts And sometimes growing old can really hurt So you must be tired now of being near You must be tired now of taking care You take good care of me when I fall behind And every single time I lose my mind You must be tired now
12.
All In 03:15
I hate when I look in your eye And I feel naked But there’s something just inside you And I can’t fake it You know I’ll go all in - fuck it, I’ll go all in you know It flickers black and white As if it’s simple And you keep walking by acting hateful You own it though I’ll go all in - fuck it, I’ll go all in you know You know if I thought it was true I’d say I was sorry But with all this you being blue shit Keeping it honest all by accident I’ll go all in - fuck it, I’ll go all in you know

Calamity 03:23
Solstice rain - time to make a change A fever rises from/in the clouds Life warps and you sweat it out Things go away, a hologram Haunting all your life I need a new kind for new time Constant calamity soothes the soul Home in the bones Not romance but harmony A little taste, some heartbreak So smooth on the tongue Constant calamity frees the soul
15.
You know in stories the earth can move it self Not with questions but with dreams of the other side I’ve been apologizing to myself for days About how maybe I’ll have to watch this one get away I’ve been looking I’ve been trying to find something like this Wander with me – oh glint in your eye How I want it so badly to reflect the glint in mine I know its heavy and easier to walk the line But I ain’t often cowardly and for damn sure won’t be this time You still think I’m wondering Well I’m down on my knees The more I hear you The more I hope you’re down with me It seems we’ve been looking We’ve been trying to find Something like this
