Alterations 01:54
Spent the last two years Untangling, the mess you left in my head Fuck this I'm out Packed all my past in boxes Left out your favourite records Kept Maybe I'll catch fire To make me feel like we were somewhere else Further from everyone else And I've been stuck In this dark, dark room for weeks I need the feel, of these wheels under my feet And I won't be Gone for too long Gonna be Home before the autumn You will be Sitting home with ghosts Pulling out Your broken bones Been trying harder to relate ‘cause at 28 what the fuck can you change...WTF can you change?

Oh, Marie 02:43
I’ve looked better and you’ve looked worse Crawling on the ground for your last cigarette An empty glass rings in the New Year Dry enough to not belong here Finally, I’m old enough to not Care about the things I’ve given up I’ve felt better, and I’ve felt worse Crawling on the ground for your last cigarette The streets I used to know are feeling less familiar My roots are spreading out, into unfamiliar ground The roads we used to walk down to my grandma’s house They all look the same now I’ve felt better, and I’ve felt worse Crawling on the ground for your last cigarette Can’t see the forest from the trees Chalked up to wasted history Will I be there when you grow old? Will I be there, will I be there? Finally, I’m old enough to not Care about the things I’ve given up

Stuck in a room, suffocating With friends of friends and friends All with steady hands Sharing all their plans Well fuck, we all had plans If I ever get out out of bed I might just do something about them The dreams we had but forgot Were the ones that taught us a lot And all good things pass, real fast Didn’t anybody ever tell you? ‘cause letting go isn’t the same as Giving up, I wish I could say that I didn’t give up A myriad of great ideas come crawling out the corners of my brain Amounting, to nothing Where have all my friends gone? I guess growing up means losing everyone I’m losing everyone The dreams we had but forgot Were the ones that taught me a lot And all good things pass, real fast Didn’t anybody ever tell you? ‘cause letting go isn’t the same as Giving up, I wish I could say that I didn’t give up So take my bones, and try to tell me that everything is gonna be fine Escaped the ocean, I’m bruised not broken All the anchors in the world couldn’t hold this down Storm the coastline, for the last time Bruised not broken

Ghosts 01:44
I've been living with your ghost for far too long Dragging in your body from the cold Put my Janowski record on, I can't deal with the voices This winter has been dragging way too long The water, will always win Don't let it carry you away Like the wind, rising and falling Like the tide, pushing and pulling Your bones, your cold cold bones I know it's dark inside, I can see it in your eyes You deserve so much more than this you know You must be tired of all your bad excuses You’ve been away for far too long Letting your light, extinguish
5.
I’ve had a hard night I didn’t sleep right I watched you drown again In my head Watched it all over again Watched us fall apart in my head A year since I’ve been alone A year since I’ve felt at home I can’t sleep at night, my broken teeth a reminder This year’s been a weird one, and it’s not getting better ‘cause I am, I’m the worst you’ll ever have And you move like a A summer dress in the breeze Asunder memories All I ask of you, will you bury me? Under Autumn leaves Will you bury me? I can’t sleep at night, my broken teeth a reminder This year’s been a weird one, and it’s not getting better No, it’s not getting better

I sit here wondering As it unfolds in front of me Is this the kind of love I heard about in Casey? The kind of bullshit That starves this misery The kind that would “dance inside of me” If the wind, and the water Carried us away With a note you wrote of all the things that I could never be If our bodies washed up battered on the shore Would our knot hold tighter than before? Is this what’s meant for me? Will I be ready? Will we sit back to drink In some far off city? And have our own ceremony To kill off any thought that we love this misery If the wind, and the water Carried me away Would you wait on the shore while the ocean buried me? ‘cause I will be Gone before too long ‘cause I will be Home before the autumn You'll still be sitting home with ghosts Dreaming of my broken bones
