Let's Define Love
03:03
|

Love is not a number
It is nowhere in sight
You don't need to find it
Love is not trying to hide
I think we could fix it
Now that you're here by my side
Let's get down to business
Let's give meaning to our lives
Let's define love, love, love x2
If we got together, I could tell you about my life
Maybe you could tell me how you got to be so nice
It isn't so crazy, in fact it's only right
It's only a problem because we haven't even tried
(so) Let's define love, love, love x2
It's giving care and it's putting up a fight
For yourself, environment and the like
But most importantly
What you feel
How you think about love
I'll send you some pictures when there's color in the sky
It's all pink and orange, you should really go outside
We all know that we want it, like in the songs that make you cry
But in them it's undetermined just for what it is we strive
(so) Let's define love, love, love x2

Taking Time
02:17
|

If you feel like taking the time
All I want from mine is to be part of yours
And all that follows
I'll try again tomorrow
If you think that faking it's fine
Pour me a glass of wine
I'll drink the bottle down
And drown in sorrow
I'll try again tomorrow
But you want out of it
I can't say I don't
Understand
Maybe now I'll get
Some rest
There's that thumping thing inside my chest
The only sound I have left
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
If you don't have a stake in the fight
You helped organize
What are we doing here?
Is your heart hollow?
I'll try again tomorrow
I'll try again
If you feel like taking the time
If you feel like taking the time
If you feel like taking the time

Close to Home
02:07

I drew a diagram
It's not a perfect circle
Just goes to show
It's all connected
I spoke to Abraham
Leaning on the bar
It's hard to hear
You seem conflicted
And I am
So close to home
So close to home and I might as well go x2
Your friends were talking shit
On some guy I don't know
We share a name
First it confused me
A bit too accurate
Swingin' a low blow
All the same
Kind of amusing
But it hit
So close to home
So close to home and I might as well go x2
In the loading zone
Took a group picture
Against a brick wall
It was constructed
After the show
Under the sole light fixture
I cracked a smile
My face obstructed
There I am
So close to home
So close to home that I might as well go x3
So close to home, so close to home
Might as well go
Might as well go
Might as well go

Every Time I Fall
02:35
|
|||
|
Every time I fall
I don't know why
I don't know why
Every time I fall
I don't know why
But I comply
Every time I fall
I know I'll get by
Can't say why
Every time I fall
It reminds me
To simplify
Every time I fall
Demystifies me
Cut down to size
Every time I fall
It defines me
Compromise

Eye Sea
01:08
|
|||
|
I see:
A house on the horizon
A flower from a plant on a vase on a table
And a succulent on the lower level of the table
I see a woven rocking chair sitting still
A half drank cup of coffee sitting at an angle
Rendering the liquid invisible

Twisted Vine
02:26
|
|||
|
Oh, love
I can't wait
I can't wait
Not this time
I'm afraid
I'm afraid
Oh, no
Not again
Not again
A twisted vine circles back on itself
Separated now and it floats in mid-air
Oh, love
Is it true?
I'm afraid
I'm afraid
I'm afraid
I'm afraid
I'm afraid

Real Dreams
03:22
|
|||
|
You were right
This is only like a dream
Like the night
Seems always not to seem
There's no looking ahead
There's only meaning in the now
Past experiences
I can see them in the clouds
And I've been searching for a sign
All my life
All this time right behind my eyes
Oh my
All my life
Oh my
This is only like a dream
Seems so not to seem
In light of everything
My mind made that scene
I can feel this
So it must exist
Both itch and pinch
I can subsist
With some vigilance
I can be this
Good night, good night
Alright, alright
Good night, good night
I had a dream you would've liked

Forget who I was, he's tucked in a drawer
I don't know what he does, we don't talk anymore
The last time he saw you was a total bore
All gray and blue, what a hapless chore
We don't talk anymore
Opened up and re-arranged
Hope enough I'm not the same
Forget what I said, I won't assume your point of view
You never knew who I was talking to
I used to build it up
Now I'm trying
To be real
I'm content and still
We don't talk anymore

Drawing a line in the sand
Just to show that you can
You say to cross it if you dare
But that won't get me anywhere
Here we are right back at the start
Except something's changed between us
And it makes sense, I deserve it
To exist is to be broken apart
Broken apart
It may someday wash away
Away
Away
But the action still remains
Remains
Remains
Here we are right where we started
Except some things changed between us
And it's worth it, I prefer it
To being never broken-hearted (x4)

Free to Choose
03:19
|
|||
|
I do regret acting that way
But how else could I have learned?
I cannot regret choices I've made
Situational response based on previous knowledge
Gain new knowledge
I don't want to fret over will or fate
Don't see what difference it makes
I can only accept there are no mistakes
Emotional response based on previous thought
Gain new knowledge
Gain new knowledge
Gain new knowledge
I am brain blank walking into convenience store
I find comfort in routine
As I often do I push on the pull door
I am humbled constantly
This I need
And in spite of/because of what seem to be decisions
Would have happened either way
Every action's reaction unknown 'til it happens
We are caught in this endless moment momentum
So is anyone really
Free to choose
Free to choose
Free to chew ooze

Bouncing Ball
01:50
|
|||
|
Don't let doubt keep you down
Don't let hope overcome you
Keep you down
Overcome you
That damn dumb bouncing ball
To the sky, hit the ground
In one place constantly
To the sky, hit the ground
Keep you down
Overcome you
If you can
Don't let doubt keep you down
Don't let hope overcome you
Work it out

In the morning
I thought I felt you there
On your side of the bed
I went to touch your hair
There was nothing
And it made me sad
But in that moment
I had you back
Is this a waking dream? Well let's just call it
Whatever the opposite of sleep paralysis is
Yeah you make me move, yeah you make me move
And you're not in the room, not even in the room
So in the morning
I hope to feel you there
Even if it's in my head
I don't really care
When I wake up and forget that you're away
Everything's OK
And I have no fear
I wanna think you're here
