Follow... follow me
Follow... follow but please
Hold on... hold on and freeze
React! React; don't blink
I feel you like a shadow on my heels
I see you from the corner of my eye
You break through when I drop all of my wills
So unaware of where I'm going to find you
Follow... follow me
Follow... follow but please
Hold on... hold on and freeze
React! React; don't blink
I spill out like a shadow through the scales
Sunsets and I'm reaching
You cut through when I'm beyond the veil
So unaware of where we will be meeting
Follow... follow me
Hold on... hold on and freeze
Hold
Hold on and freeze
React... don't...?

Little pill of monotony
Little thrill that you brought to me
A little flushed
A little rushed?
I still don’t know what you thought of me
I'm alone
With a tiny whisper
At the back of my mind
I'd forgotten
What a blister
Undone loneliness finds
Oh but give me time
And I’ll be fine
Settle rates that picked up
Settle fake thought up setups
Settle down
Kettle on
Settle hands and grab a cup
I’m alone
with a tiny whisper
At the back of my mind
I'd forgotten
What a blister
Undone loneliness finds
Oh but give me time
And I’ll be fine
Nothing has happened
Nothing will or should but then
Something from
Nothing comes
When you're least expecting it
I’m alone
with a tiny whisper
At the back of my mind
I forgot
What a blister
Undone loneliness finds
Oh but give me time
And I’ll be fine

Mellified
03:35
|

|
You’re too sweet
For my taste
I can’t see you
Wasting all this time on me
I’m too weak
For this pace
Find me a corner
And maybe let me hide away
I’m mellified
Am I dead
Or just deadpan?
Am I fragile or fine?
Hair over my eyes
I’m too fierce
Of a beast
And it’s clear
That I'm just a figment of my mind
I’m at best
A second rate
That’s what I'd have to
Say to everyone who pries
I’m petrified
Am I dead
Or just deadpan?
Am I fragile or fine?
Hair (over my eyes)
Hair over my eyes
You’re too sweet
For my taste
I can’t see me
Wasting all this time on you

Restless

Can you hold the rope
Please
Let me cast out to sea
Can you smile
And wait
For me
I suppose
I can get a little restless
When I
Draw myself for myself
I become
The trail I'm walking
Stretched fabric
Soaking
Paint colors
Mixing
Scalloped edges
Graceful featherweight
I suppose
Sometimes I'm fenceless
When I
Dress myself for myself
Colors,
Everything, and nothing
I can get a little restless
When I
Draw myself for myself
I become
The trail I'm walking

Fluorescent to Plaid
04:26
|
|||
|
All the colors were fluorescent
Until they turned to plaid
I went from jersey to flannel
Time marked by passing fads
All the music blends together
I ain’t too mad you think I’m out
All the colors run together
I never said I didn’t see them
I’m not sorry you don’t feel
The same about the past
I’m just sorry that you can’t let me
Mourn something so fragile
All the music blends together
I ain’t too mad you think I’m out
All the colors run together
I never said I didn’t see them
I’ve got nowhere else to go
But old
I’ve got nothing else to grow
But cold
All the music blends together
I ain’t too mad you think I’m out
All the colors run together
I never said I didn’t see them anymore
All the music blends together
I ain’t too mad you think I’m out
All the colors run together

Not Her
04:32
|

|
I'm not her
I'm not her
I can't be
Mirror mirror do I like what I see
Where does she end and where’s my autonomy
Well I'm not her
I can never be
Oh fractured thing
But I am made of keys
And fake transparencies
Take me as I plan before you
Or you can leave...
Fault a fall
Fault a call
A late start
I might try
Take a dip
Into the part
Mirror mirror do I like what I see
Where does she end and where’s my autonomy
Well I'm not her
I can never be
Oh fractured thing
But I am made of keys
And fake transparencies
Take me as I plan before you
Or you can leave...
So trend this scene
No, this style per my defining
Take me as I ring in your ears
Or you can leave...

Tried Too Hard
03:28
|
|||
|
Stilted and awkward
Voice out of place
Get back in your place?
That's not what I said
Now you’re puttin words in my mouth
So many worse things
than being wrong
Relax and settle down
You know what I meant
Maybe you’re plied
No I didn’t say you are
Maybe you tried too hard
Baby I’m tired
When you asked my help
Maybe I pushed too far
So I’m not perfect
Just a reasonable
facsimile
of a human being
So why should you listen to me?
Maybe you should though
You asked me first
and I’ve been watching you
Your audience
They can spot a phony from a mile
Maybe you're plied
No I didn’t say you are
Maybe you tried too hard
Baby I’m tired
When you asked my help
Maybe I pushed too far
Maybe you're plied
No I didn’t say you are
Maybe you tried too hard
Baby I’m tired!
When you asked my help
Maybe I pushed too far
Maybe you're plied
No I didn’t say you are
Maybe you tried too hard
Baby I’m tired!
When you asked my help
Maybe I pushed too far

No Room for Me
04:21
|
|||
|
Methodical purposeful rhyming
Tropeish and predictable timing
You leave no room for me
You leave no room for me
Scalpels and refrigerants
Tacky click track measurements
You leave no room for me
You leave no room for me
Breathe through the notes
I hear your fingers but not your soul
Rake through the leaves
Let the wind set them sorta free
Untuck your shirt
Roll up your sleeves and get to work
Quit blowing smoke
What are you really thinking
It’s never gonna work
If you won’t put in the work
You leave no room for me
You leave no room for me
Copy cat experience
But come now let’s experiment
You leave no room for me
Breathe through the notes
I hear your fingers but not your soul
Rake through the leave
Let the wind set them sort of free
This has been going on
A little bit but far too long
But you leave no room for me
You leave no room for me
You leave no room for me
(etc)
