Awake to find the season’s changed In my head it’s just another coat to hang Together for the winter hardened day As the night begins to win in it’s own way But I didn’t see it coming strong for you Where I’m from the chill thaws out by afternoon Will mistaken conversations be our ruin? If my memory did serve The organ and the blade It’s my heart and the way I behave And I know there’s two parts to be learned from mistakes Learning that I lose As much as I gain there’s no way My intention is true but the blame’s not my own Only heart A red stain a pain I cannot know Made worse the little ways you hurt your own Put the t in toleration pay the toll And refuse a need it’s hard to see the road To a time when I can tip the scales around There’s a way of being heard without a sound Will I linger on the cost of breaking ground? If my memory did serve The organ and the blade It’s my heart and the way I behave And I know there’s two parts to be learned from mistakes Learning that I lose As much as I gain there’s no way My intention is true but the blame’s not my own Only heart

Running in from the lake Wishing that the towel on your neck was my lips Pretending to fish Just to have something to do How loud do you think we can be in this room I feel you too Grab a sweater at night I’m just a bit less drunk than your cousin’s friends But I’m sobering You touch my hand as you pass I don’t say a word I catch your eye in a flash Let the others laugh Where is there room for you? Where is there room for you? Splitting my life in two Where is there room for you? Won’t keep it out of my mind Tear down the dikes that keep the waters at bay They'll come anyway Cold surprise of the pain Part of me is thankful I hope you feel the same Don’t want it to fade So is this how it’ll be Running from your likeness pictures sending me down I’m out of town God I know that we tried You force a feeling and it becomes a lie Don’t run don’t hide Where is there room for you? Where is there room for you? Splitting my life in two Where is there room for you? Where is there room for you? Where is there room for you? Where is there room for you? Where is there room for you?

Better Make 04:29
Talk Talking is fine until You run out of things to say Feel Feeling is better make Sure you can feel Love Love that I try to feel Trying to love Wait Hell is a Holiday Inn won’t you Stay Tell me I’ll see you again Hating Every word that I say Take More than I care to replace Break Break like need to find Someway out Build Building a world inside Show me your world Wait Hell is a Holiday Inn won’t you Stay Tell me I’ll see you again Hating Every word that I say Take More than I care to replace Wait Hell is a Holiday Inn won’t you Stay Tell me I’ll see you again Hating Every word that I say Take More than I care to replace Who Who knows you like I do You know me too

Useless Bay 03:04
Left my mind down in Useless Bay I don’t want to be always Tied to what’s in my old brain Left my baby on Wasted Lane Couple months I need to say Can we go our separate ways How the moon can know which way we go Left my eyes up on Hunger Way Never enough more always Got to find another way My friend told me to lay away Couple dollars forty years guess I’ll be like old and gray Gonna need an IRA How the moon can know which way we go Left my mind down in Useless Bay I don’t want to be always Tied to what’s in my old brain
