Waves 00:41

Barely Above 03:44
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 03:18
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?

Here / Hear 04:35
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.
5.
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.

Low 03:22
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
