Wake up before the crack of dawn
You’re telling me to put my jacket on
We’re gonna step out into the wind and the cold
A place I don’t want to go
I can feel it calling my name
But I don’t want to be the one to blame
I just feel what I feel and I say what I say
I won’t say anymore
Pick you up at nine, I’ve got your number
Happens every time I get down
I just think about the times I shared
With you
Did you wander through the ruins?
Asking everyone “What did I do?”
Well, I’m choking, I’m broke, and I can’t even tell
Where the road is
And did they always feel the wind
Billowing the sails of God’s big plan?
Or did they just go with the flow of it all?
I wish I could be the moon
Pick you up at ten, I’ve got your number.
Stuck up in my head forever,
Triple 9, 7
everybody’s sinking sometimes
Don’t just grab your coat and go,
I think you should stay
Happens all the time
I’ve got the feeling
Everybody’s belly-up sinking to the ceiling
Oh!
Come back.

Do It, I Dare You

You were lost to us
On an early summer night
It was the last call
You made your last fall
But there were things above us
That you didn’t want to know
We saw the light fade
Before the lightning came
Tell me why you’d listen to
Every word they say?
Was it love?
Or was it shame?
Well, do it, I dare you.
We won’t be coming back to save you
Guess this is the last time
You were like starlight taken with the last tide
Now they’re all around you
And they’re telling you to go.
Could you resist this
With such an exit?
Tell me, did you listen to
Every note they played?
Did you grin in the moonlight
As in rain
Well, do it, I dare you.
We won’t be coming back to save you.
I guess this is the last time
You were like starlight, taken with the last tide
The last tide
Do it, I’m begging you.
We won’t be coming back to get you.
Kiss it one last time
You were like starlight, painted with the last tide
Hope I don’t remember you this way
Oh no, no, no.

Tell us all your woes
I’m terrified of knowing
Someone like that again
Tear off all your clothes
Don’t need them where we’re going
Be there later on
Hey, do you like it there so far
With your new friends and new lovers?
I hope you’re having fun
But don’t forget me where you are.
We’re all your sisters and your brothers
After all
Mmmm
Hey, do you like it there so far
With your new friends and new lovers?
I hope you’re having fun
But don’t forget me where you are.
We’re all your sisters and your brothers
After all
Are we alone?
Do you like it there so far
With your new friends and new lovers?
I hope you’re having
I hope you’re having
I hope you’re having (fun)
But don’t forget me where you are.
We’re all your sisters and your brothers
After all

Big Sleep
05:42

Just a little conversation
You don’t need to be so
Uneasy
I can feel your hesitation
With all your cards in place,
You can breathe
Get ready for the big sleep
The one you always dreamed it would be
Believe me
Believe me
Fire away
It hasn’t been my day
Big sleep
It’s coming to a boil now
Soon it will be letting out
A scream
I hope you’re ready for the big sleep
The one you always dreamed it would be
Believe me
Believe me
Fire away
It’s just not been my day
Big sleep
Big sleep

Time

To be the one.
All these people rushing ‘round
Just for fun.
Taking two steps down
At a time
To catch the train before
It arrives.
To be the one.
All these people rushing ‘round
My head now.
Won’t make sense how
I was just sinking down
To the bottom of my innocence…
Suddenly, I see
Out of the corner of my eye
“35: on time”
And I emerge on the street
Just in time, in time, in time
To see another sign
It’s for a sunny sky
When you call,
I feel a funny little feeling-
I don’t want to hear it at all :)
I could rewind into
Your parents’ living room
Oh, we should have done this
Some other time…
What a lie
To be the one
I’m taking three steps at a time
Just to catch my train on: Time
Otherwise, it’s just me
And my little feet
On the concrete
Stamping out in time
And I thought I could just call to say
You do not have to make your bed today-
You will not make it anyway!
There is no point in me calling to say
“it’s time, it’s time, it’s time, it’s time, it’s time”
It’s time to go
Tell your younger self you will be well
Just wait a couple years until you get
Yourself a wetsuit,
buy yourself a board on craigslist,
Get into the water.
Find that you are shitty at this.
Put a little effort in,
Do a little work on yourself.
Get a little stronger,
Get into the water
And you’ll feel the waves beneath you
Feel the ocean moving, feel the
Moon is shining above you
See what she is doing to you
Get into the water
Feel a little stronger when you
Pull yourself together.
Feeling like a number one, you’re
Stronger than you ever thought,
Ever thought you could be
When you were just a little,
A little trauma baby.
You were hanging on by a thread
Now you’re pulling threads behind you
While you stand up on your board, and then you
Feel your feet below you, and the wave
it starts to laugh at you,
You’ll start to laugh a little, too.
You’ll feel your brain is quiet
for the first time in forever.
You’re facing death with every left
Facing death with every left
You’re facing death with every left
Facing death with every left
You’re Facing death with every left
Facing death with every left
Paddle a little longer
You wanna be there forever.
You’ll feel the waves beneath you
Feel like you’re connected to her.
She says “Are you okay?”
The best I’ve ever felt now
Go a little longer-
The sun is still alight enough
There’s time, there’s time
There’s time, there’s time
There’s time, there’s time (all the time)
There’s time, there’s time
There’s time, there’s time
There’s time, there’s time
There’s time, there’s time - There’s time.

Don’t fuck with me
Time’s all I need…
For now
Oh, did you wonder
If I had a heart at all?
I drove to Montreal
Just to shatter
Nose-deep in a Heming-way
Sweetest blooms of May
They fade.
While we were brimming,
were you grinning through a lie?
By the middle of July,
You were gone.
All at once the tide takes us
Away from lands that we used to know
Losing air, I hold fast to
All of the memories
I can’t let go

Aphelion

Well the sun, the sun is far away from you now.
Where’d he go? Way gone, way gone
somehow…
Pardon me if it’s too soon to celebrate this mess
And you’ll freeze, you’ll feel
Aphelion.
Will he come? Oh sun, come back to us
I’ll dream of a wedding some place
If that’s the only way to see your face
“Some dream, some dream,” they’ll say.
Take a leap, take the lead, ‘cause I know you’ve got me
And you’re free, you’re free, you’re finally free…
Aphelion!
There’s a light that’s made from hands of men, and
It feels just like a venom,
A pale imitation of him
By the way, this retrograde is madness
And we’re slipping on the sadness
Still hoping you’ll come through.
Believe me when I say, we’re waiting for you
