All Up In It
03:40

Sorry, sorry for the complication
In a state of mind you’re not used to
Well I’d like to ride this out
But the motion makes me sick
All tangled up and there’s no easy way out
Cause I want to go
You want me to stay
We just aren’t the same
And nothing ever changes
You toss and turn
Are you gonna choose a side?
Well I don’t have the time to do this
Be the one to put you over the line
A moving target every time
Well I’d like to feel this out
But the drama makes me sick
I’d rather get away than get
All up in it
All up in it
All up in it
All
Sorry
Forget it
What’s your hurry?
What took you so long?
So long
I’m not listening
I don’t care to
What you think’s not news to me (repeat 2x)
It’s not news to me
It’s not news to me
It’s not news to me
It’s nothing new

High Places
04:13
|

Back up at the crooked pass
A slow burn or a sneak attack
Turn away, turn around, turning pages It’s
always the same - everything changes
When the light turns low
Are you afraid to go there?
Oh the ride, the ride the ride - it’s complicated
How do we ever get by without sedation
Are you happy now?
Took one for the team and then they let you down
Go, go, go, ahead
One less hand out for the taking
Go, go, go, go on
Put it in your pocket, save it for later
Go, go, go, get ready for takeoff
Conditions are dangerous
Oh, are they ever gonna find us?
Back lit in a dream
Like a faultline coming clean, come clean
Overrated, overstated, everybody is jaded
I’m slipping through the cracks in the pavement
Are you translucent now?
Blinding lights wearing you out
Oh, the lie, the lie, the lies - they’re penetrating
How do we ever survive all that predation?
Are you happy now?
Took one for the team and then they let you drown
Go, go, go ahead
Find your friends in all the high places
Go, go, go, go on
Put ‘em in your pocket, save them for later
Go, go, go, get ready for takeoff
Conditions are dangerous
Oh, are they gonna wait for us?
When there are no moves left to fake
No breath left to save
When we look into the quiet
Is there a storm that didn’t break?
When we fall into the fire
Do only bones remain, or
Can we get just a little more time?
I don’t know, I’ve got no plan
But to walk beside and hold your hand
High places are gonna set us free
And all the light to wash us clean
Like an accident that realigns
No mapping the stars, no reading the signs
All we need is just a little more time
Just a little more time

Unfortunate
04:18
|

Endless lines cut and wind
Follow til they meet the sky
Then dissolve and redesign
What’s left we leave behind
Only light knows how to fade
How unfortunate...time given away
Every fold tears at the break
Every shell will perforate
So take a deep breath, my friend
And hold on to what you can
When there’s nothing to see
There’s nothing to save
All the takers are so good at looking away
In low light, eyes tired
Hellbent to rewire
Steadfast, on the sly
Don’t you dare put your hands to the fire
Burned out the pages so we’d disappear
We’re still here
When it’s not the answer that you want to find
Tear it up and swallow every line
Hey, can we get real?
Were we ever really here?
Did we ever get close?
We never see it coming
Do we just get buried cold?
Endless lines
Cut and wind
Make their way through the haze
Redirect, redesign, rearrange
What’s left? What’s left we leave behind
How unfortunate
We’re wishing cracks away

Syracuse In Winter
04:15
|

Pale air leaving the faintest trace of where you’ve been
White oak swaying behind in the wind
Blaze from a low sun
Catch your breath before it's too late
Too late to run
Cold comfort only
Closing doors draw quiet in
For the wild and lonely, a bittersweet ending
All the light we lost
Now ashes over embers
Winter always hangs around too long
Pale eyes burning
Gazing down, then fixed away
Hovering kestrel knows the brevity of days
Blaze from a low sun
Catch my breath before it’s too late
Too late to run
Cold comfort only
Closing doors draw quiet in
For the wild and lonely, a bittersweet ending
All the light we gave
Now embers under ashes
Everything is turning, turning gray
Blaze from low sun - heavy in that haze
Blaze from low sun - racing to the edge
Catch your breath before it’s gone
Catch your breath before it’s gone
Catch your breath before it’s too late
Blaze from a low sun
Caught my breath, it was too late
Too late to run
And all the light we gave
Now ashes over embers
Falling and fading in that pale air
Catch your breath before it’s gone
It’s too late

Static & the Beat
03:20
|

Alright, got another play
Got yourself another rotation
Who are you gonna fake out tonight?
Sometimes it feels like we’re moving in the wrong direction
Straight into the mouth of our enemy
This light will never go out
This beat will always move along
Just like a broken record
Keeps coming back around
A sound you can rely on
Breathe it in and breathe it out
Even remnants still remember how
OK, you don’t say
Made another bad connection
Talk talk, but we can’t communicate
Some days feel like a cycle of negation
All points leading straight to nowhere
This light will never go out
This beat will always move along
Just like a broken record
It keeps coming back around
A sight you can rely on
Like symmetry in crashing waves
Like stars revolving and breaking overhead
There’s static in the way
Cut that line, get off that station
Magnetized the game
Set your watch to the vibrations
Static in the way!
Cut that line, get off that station
Magnetized the game
Set your watch to it
Tick tock, the rhythm don’t stop
And the beat is the heart that’s never gonna fade away
This light will never go out
This beat will always move along
Just like a broken record
It keeps coming back around
A sound you can rely on
Breathe it in and breathe it out
Even remnants like us remember how

Endless Golden
04:03
|

Funny how things come around
Memory gone, pictures found
Close my eyes and I can hear you laughing
What got lost in folding waves,
Washing over everything
But in this light...in this light you still look the same
All that time we had to waste
Endless golden summer days
If you could go back would you take me with you?
Oh, take me with you
Funny how it all comes down to
a single moment spinning around
A million times in your head, just can’t let it go
All that hurt we gave up so fast
Didn’t know it would come back tenfold
Didn’t know how long it would last
Constellations overhead
Nights we thought would never end
If you could go back would you do it all again?
Oh, when light lifts away
Endless golden has to fade
Funny how things come around
We’re just a little bit older now
Close my eyes and I can hear the music ringing out
And what we find out last:
It all goes by so fast
And then it goes, it goes around
Constellations light the way
To endless golden summer days
If you could go back would you take me with you?
Oh, when light lifts away
Endless golden had to fade
Hold on, wait up, lost you in the waves
Tide, shake me loose
Bring me back again...
Would you bring me back again?

The Front
03:55
|

Oh, untether from the air
Unwound, unraveled, unaware
I don’t know how anyone can bear that sound
Coming near
Oh, that sound!
Come in here
Back and forth, here we go again
Come on, pull that rope until you reach the end
I don’t know how anyone can bend like that without breaking
Just like that, underneath a sky that’s shaking
Shaking, shaking
Back and forth and back and forth we go
Come one, shake it out in the light
Let your filth and fortune fly
Then get right back to the front of the line
Breathe in all this gold and glaze
Before they come and take it all away
Then get back to the front, you know what you want
Get back up to the front cause you know what you want
Put your back to it before they blow you over, over, over!
Come one, shake it out in the light
Let your filth and fortune fly
Then get right back to the front of the line
Breathe in all this gold and glaze
Before they come and take it all away
Then get back to the front, you know what you want
Get back up to the front cause you know what you want
Put your back to it before they blow you over, over, over!
Back and forth and back and forth we go!
We’re shaking, shaking

In Sleep
04:46
|

Head on or head inside
To your cold cave, so satisfying
When the light winds in and wraps around your bones
Give up every ghost
Don’t you know they’re already gone?
Right on time
Hanging on every high note
Wound so tight you can’t move
We mark our intent head to tongue
The fire that slips out tastes like it’s run cold
When the light winds in and catches on a frame
Don’t you know dust always settles down again?
Right on time
Hanging on every high note
Wound so tight you can’t move
But hang on, right?
That’s your design
And all your ghosts are never far behind
When threads come loose you better let them go
We’ll find you
We’ll take you home
You’ll find your back home
Oh, don’t stay in sleep forever
Dream like you’re right here, awake
Oh, don’t stay in sleep forever
Dream like you’re right here
You’re right here, wide awake
We mark our intent head to tongue
The fire that spills/pours out
Tastes like it’s run cold
All the light you cannot see wraps around your bones
All the stars you didn’t know will find you
And take you home
