Barely Above
we were wading in the shallows
with our waists above the water
watched you walk out ‘till you couldn’t
any longer.
so you tread until you tired
but the waves were getting higher.
soon you’d be sinking
down to the deepest.
just barely above the waves,
barely understanding how it got this way.
you sat there at the bottom
wrote a note into a bottle
hoping we might read it and
maybe know the feeling.
but we’re only half awake,
barely understanding how you got this way
I stood there in the corner
your mother’s on your shoulder
saying, “wake up my baby,
everyone is waiting,”
just barely through the day,
barely understanding how it got this way.

In Pieces
it’s hard to know what the move is
when the floor just drops and you’re left there -
senseless, reaching out for a concrete reason why.
it’s hard to know where it leads you
when the arrow bends and start breaking in two
and every road just paves a fault line.
it just takes...
but how much?
it just takes…
but how much?
it’s hard to know what the move is
when you’re lying there on your bed in pieces
don’t forget to close the door behind you.
it just takes...
but how much?
it just takes…
but how much?

Hear/Here
weeding out the words that I won’t use
to say the things you need to.
stylize and simplify each phrase
so it communicates just what it is
you’ve been thinking about.
trying on this confidence for size
who knows, we both might be surprised.
this time I’ve come prepared to say it
i hope it all comes out okay
thought that I could tell you with a stare,
but you were looking over where
you found your figure in the glass
you’d rather look on back at that
than hear me out.
walking towards you i reach for my throat
oh shit, I think that I might choke again
i can’t go in, the silence hits and
i’m drowning in everything
i’ve been thinking about
thought that I could tell you with a stare,
but you were looking over where
you found your figure in the glass
you’d rather look on back at that
than hear me out.

This is What I Do
you still wear it on you face
the look i swore that i’d driven away
but i can’t remember
how it got there in the first place
what am I to do with your love?
what am I to do with you love?
you’re as still as you were
i’m as silent as I was
nobody’s talking
so no one’s being heard
what am I to do with your love?
what am I to do with your love?
and it’s not hard ‘cause I make it so
I don’t have to change
I can talk myself out of what
I don’t wanna face.
did i fool you enough?
did i fool you enough
or could you see right through
ever lie that i’d choose
every place i’d go and hide from you
you still wear it on your sleeve
for me to tear at, open and tease
though i get no pleasure in watching you bleed,
this is what i do to your love
and it’s not hard ‘cause I make it so
I don’t have to change
I can talk myself out of what
I don’t wanna face.

Would it help you to know
that I'm not doing so fine
I've got trouble on my mind
and it's not so clear to me why
i really thought I'd know
how to get by without getting so low
but how do you get by without getting so low
did i fool you enough
or could you see right through
every lie that i'd choose
every place i'd go and hide from you
oh I really thought i'd know
how to get by without getting so low
but how do you get by without getting so low
