There's a story
That when you move closer
It won't be there anymore
Silent
Sneaky little door
But when I finally move closer
It's still there
I won't wonder anymore
I won't wonder anymore
Behind a silent
The silent door I'll vanish
Throw away the key
Throw away the key
Throw away the key
The silent door
Throw away the key
Throw away the key
There's this thing we're always saying about changes
That we can't do them anymore
At least I can't do it anymore
And all at once I find myself in a nightmare
I'm in a door-less corridor
I can't outrun them anymore
There's a story
Changes
Silent
There's a story
Changes
Silent
Can you hear me
Can you
So silent
Can you hear me
So silent
Can you
Behind a silent
The silent door
I'll vanish
Throw away the key
Throw away the key
Behind a silent
The silent door
I'll vanish
Throw away the key
The silent door
Throw away the key
I'll vanish

I'm waiting through these years
I'm wading through these years
Now I feel
Dust accumulate
That's the sound of passing time
I didn't know it had a sound til now
And I am listening
Dust accumulates and animates and now I'm changing
I read it in a book
I think I read it in my own pages
I saw it in this room
Where I'm waiting in this nook
I saw it with my own eyes
I heard it with my ears
That things are always changing but they're not
I've seen a lot of things slowly waiting through these years
I saw it with my own eyes
That's the sound of passing time
I feel a tingle in my left page
Where there wasn't one before
Dust falls and I feel it joyfully in my spine
Dust accumulates
And animates
I wouldn't say I'm alive
But I wouldn't say I'm dead
I've got an animation
In my core in my spine
I'm waiting through these years
And I saw it with my own eyes
You could've done a better job
You could've saved all those species
Saved the trees and saved the planet
But instead you got a job
I'm not surprised
You could've tried a little harder
And I'm changing through these years
And I've got a lot of acceptance
Waiting through these years
I saw it with my own eyes

Sewn Together
03:21
|

Show me something new
I dare you
Something original
It's possibly impossible
In this world of noises
Long echoes
There's four kinds of people maybe
Torn
So torn
I broke the spider's web
I'll build it back in my head for her
Torn
We’re torn together
Sewn together again
Long gone
What you're made of
Show
What you are made of
Interiority is possibly impossible
Because in this world
We're made of what we buy
There's four kinds of people maybe
I didn't say I liked it
Torn
So torn
I broke the spider's web
I'll build it back in my head for her
Torn
We’re torn together
Sewn together again
Long gone
Long gone

So you're sad
My notes say
Keep a journal
But I'm sad I'm sad I'm so sad
Keep it all inside
Keep it all inside
Keep it all inside
No one knows you're happy
No one knows you cried you cried you cried
Greet the icy kick with a smile
And I am the sea and you're the clouds
So don't seek explanations
Heap the dread inside
Take it all in stride
Make a zone of peace inside
And I am the sea
Don't try to save me
And you are the clouds the rain I feel inside
Keep it all inside
Keep it all inside
Keep it all inside
Keep it all inside
Keep it all inside
Greet the grey of day with a smile
And you know the line
So don't, don't seek perfection
It's a lying beast that makes you dead inside
And we are the clouds
Don't try to save us
Reach around my life I'm falling in the sea
Keep it all inside
Keep it all inside
Keep it all inside
Keep it all inside
No one knows you're happy
No one knows you cried you cried you cried
No one knows you're happy
No one knows you're sad
Keep it all inside
Keep it all inside
No one know you're happy
No one knows you're sad

Vow of Silence
03:22
|
|||
That’s the sun setting
On your ideas
And it’s a beautiful sunset
I’ve got things to do
Gotta go build something
To outlast me
But I’m not sure what that is
I’ll take a vow of silence
I’ll make a vow of silence
Walking slowly with you in the woods
I’ll throw my words to you
I’ll make a cone of silence
In the snow
I’ll throw my words to you
No time to listen to the critics
Just post away
That’s a really cool sunset
It’s my time to listen to the words in the snow that I left there yesterday
I’ve got words for a lifetime
Pink and yellows
Fluffy little clouds
I’ve got words for a lifetime
I’ll make a vow of silence
Walking slowly with you in the woods
I’ll take a vow
Fluffy little clouds
I’ll make a vow of silence
Pink and yellows
Walking slowly with you in the woods
I’ll take a vow of silence
I’ll make a vow of silence
Walking slowly with you in the woods
I'll throw my words to you
I’ll make a cone of silence
In the snow
I’ll throw my words to you
I’ll throw my words to you

I'm the Lake
03:11
|
|||
I am the water
I am the daughter
I am ninety seven percent already water
I am the daughter
I am the water
But I'm mostly I'm mostly my oppressor
And if you find me
I'll be singing
I'm the lake
Do do do do I'm the lake
If we could all be bodies of water
I'm the lake
Do do do do I'm the lake
If we could all be bodies of water
Because I am the daughter
Can I smooth this over
Can I fit myself into this corner
Can I make myself smooth
Can I be less grumpy
But I'm better I'm better than this offer
Could I be
Could I be
Could I
Could I be
Could I
Could I be
I'm the lake
Do do do do I'm the lake
If we could all be bodies of water
And I'm the lake
I'm the lake
Do do do do I'm the lake
If we could all be bodies of water
Bodies of water
And if you find me
And if you find me
I'll be singing
Bodies of water
And if you find me
And if you find me
I'll be singing

Outside Voices
03:51
|

I can hear the voices and the symphony
I can hear the noise
I can hear the voices coming through
I can hear the voices and the symphony
If it's for me
Or if it's for you
I don't think it really matters
What matters is the truth
Conversations
Overheard like I'm a friend
I don't think it really matters
Patiently waiting I am here for the truth
I hear outside voices
I am the radio tower
I'm outside
Where the clouds are forming
I will be struck by the truth
I hear outside voices
Outside voices
I can hear the words
Can I glean the meaning in them
I am just a metal neighbor listening
If it's for me
And it's not for you
I'll build a museum of meaning
I'll curate the words for you
Conversations
Overheard like I'm a friend
I don't think it really matters
Does anyone hear it all
Patiently waiting I am here for the truth
I hear outside voices
I am the radio tower
I’m outside
Where the clouds are forming
I will be struck by the truth
I hear outside voices
Outside voices
Outside voices
I hear outside voices
Outside voices
Outside voices
I hear outside voices

Ingot in the Dark
04:29
|
|||
It's already Sunday
I can't believe the days just pass away
My brain won't let me make long term plans
And I’ll sigh away
I'll put it in the junk drawer of my brain
And float away
Float away
Do you collect love in the sunshine
I only find it sometimes
An ingot in the dark
Rain falls it washes away my sunshine
I only find love sometimes
An ingot in the dark
I want to be sincere
I want to be a friend to those in need
But I’ve got some needs myself
And I’ll cry
I’ll cry my tears into a cosmic sea
And float away
And float away for another day
Do you collect love in the sunshine
I only find it sometimes
An ingot in the dark
Rain falls it washes away my sunshine
I only find love sometimes
An ingot in the dark
Every day
Every day
Every day
The sun sets in a simple way
I only find love sometimes
I only find love sometimes
I only find love sometimes
I only find love sometimes
I’ll put it in the junk drawer of my brain
For another day
For another day
For another day
For another day

The Things That Left Us
04:40
|
|||
Let me tell you about something that I saw
I saw a person slinking up the hall
She had my face but didn't look like me at all
My past self coming for me up the hall
I’m so, so confident
It’s there
I go searching in the dark
For the things that left us
I know that things are waiting for me
The things that left us
Things that are waiting
Let me tell you about something that I know
Most of life is an uninspired ritual
I saw a person standing in the rain
Half hoping to understand my pain
My dream self coming for me now in the day
I know that things are waiting for me
The things that left us
Things that are waiting
I know that things that are waiting for me
The things that left us
Things that are waiting
We live in a sea
We live in a sea of infinite darkness
We're not meant to voyage far
We live in a sea of infinite darkness
We’re not meant to voyage far
I know that things are waiting for me
The things that left us
Things that are waiting
I know that things are waiting for me
The things that left us
Things that are waiting
Things that are waiting
In the dark
Things that are waiting
I go searching in the dark
For the things that left us
I couldn’t see it all
In the dark
And I know
I know things are waiting
The things that left us
For the things that left us

Unexpected Happiness
04:10
|
|||
We must believe in something
I believe in Vitamin C
I don’t believe in anything
We could start with me
I gotta say something
Take a Vitamin C
I don’t believe in anything
Why would we
It makes a lot of sense
So just hear me out
It makes a lot of sense
Unexpected happiness
I feel unexpected joy
And I won’t let go of this
This unexpected joy
So we’re back to this
And I’m fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
We gotta do something
Take a Vitamin C
I don’t believe in anything
Except what I see on TV
Don’t try to convince me
That everything will be fine
I’m listening more to the voice in my head
And she’s doing fine
Fine, fine, fine, fine
Unexpected happiness
I feel unexpected joy
And I won’t let go of this
This unexpected joy
Don’t let go of this
Joy
Happiness
