Had It All

lock myself inside my room of plastic
it’s my own cocoon
it’s all for free
all for free
i put my phone into the wall
the batteries involved
no they were not for me
not for me
i watch the sky unwind
for a moment in time
and there is finally honesty
the tragic call when a colony falls
it’s never comforting
i see the kids and the cops
in the coffee shops
and i can learn to breathe
i can learn to breathe
i had it all
i thought i had it all…
i had it all
i thought i had it all
i thought i had it all
i thought i had it all
i feel my heart slip back
to the cul de sac
where you would carry me
we’d read the day old news
how the world is confused
with nearly everything
everything
did we want more than we could stomach?
all we ever did was wait
we would waste our time in the shadows
waste our time
i had it all
i thought i had it all
i thought i had it all
i thought i had it all
i saw the sky unwind
and i give it up

Hold Your Love

all my life i'm willing…
inside my heart
there's a feeling…
all my life i'm willing…
inside my heart
there’s a feeling
that we both belong
i was young
i was not content
i was so unwell
please excuse any common sense
i wasn't myself
all my life i’m willing
to hold your love
inside my heart
there's a feeling
that we both belong
you were doing all your diligence
to treat me well
i was playing like i'm innocent
i wasn't myself
and despite what i thought i knew of it
i was so unfair
blind to the thought that hesitance
meant i really cared
always love
all my life i'm willing
to hold your love
inside my heart
there's a feeling
that we both belong
it's back again
come in, attack again
everything i want
i give away

Two Sides

wait
can’t see what’s in front of me
i thought we were everything
the future is blind
it’s much better that we
wait
tell me what you want to be
feeling restless as you try to speak
don’t leave me behind
why you gotta walk out on that open door
why you gotta walk out when you can’t afford
everything you wanted that you had before
why you gotta walk out…
why you tell the truth
with two sides
that way you get it
that way you get it right
i
i don’t like how you’re devoted
but you’re always somehow switching sides
wait
let the silence inside of me
realize it’s time to speak
to keep us alive
and i pray
to someone that i can’t see
reaching for clarity
don’t leave me behind
why you gotta walk out on that open door
why you gotta walk out when you can’t afford
everything you wanted that you had before
why you gotta walk out…
why you tell the truth
with two sides
that way you get it
that way you get it right
i
i don’t like how you’re devoted
but you’re always somehow switching sides
who will stay true?
(you decide)
why you gotta walk out on that open door
why you gotta walk out when you can’t afford
everything you wanted that you had before
why you gotta walk out…
why you tell the truth
with two sides
that way you get it
that way you get it right
i
i don’t like how you’re devoted
but you’re always somehow switching sides

Holy Water

holy water
running dry
future fire
feel the light
i’m not asking for much these days
all i’m asking is for us to change
when the holy water’s running dry
will you hide or step outside?
holy water
running dry
future fire
feel the light
i’m not asking for much these days
all i’m asking is for us to change
when the holy water’s running dry
will you hide or step outside?
holy water
running dry
future fire
future fire
i’m reaching for help…
holy water
running dry
future fire
feel the light

Found

underneath the shadows
falling
pick another battle
all in
dream the water shallow
easy to swim
if you see an arrow
where to begin
i think i see the sun clearing
be still now
i think it’s time we speak clearly
it’s time to be found
when all we’re after
is bleeding now
i rely on breathing out
afraid to face tomorrow
all in
empty lungs and sorrow
starving
if you see an arrow
we’re found again
found again
clearing, be still now
clearly, it’s time to be found
it’s bleeding now
i rely on
breathing out
when all we’re after
is bleeding now
i rely on breathing out
i see it
i see it
breathing out
when all we’re after
is bleeding now
i rely on breathing out…
i see it breathing out
