Good people commit crimes. I've been known for it at times. But is it the action in the moment or the action taken after that really counts? Your somebody, your somebody, oh Your somebody is coming, creeping up behind to decide for you, leaving me SIDEWAYS. Make a rose from clay. Wipe it on my face. Cut out my picture and cover it in paste. Your somebody, your somebody, oh Your somebody is coming, creeping up behind to decide for you, leaving me SIDEWAYS. Make a rose from clay. Paint it on my face. Cut my picture out and colour it in. Your somebody, your somebody, oh Your somebody is coming, creeping up behind to decide for you, Leaving me SIDEWAYS. Your somebody, your somebody, oh Your somebody is coming, creeping up behind to decide for you, Leave it up to me to destroy myself, or console myself; control myself. I guess it's time for me to go

Grassy green and slippery, who knew that ghosts grow like weeds? THE WEATHER GIRL confides in rain, she finds her gift outside. She finds her way into the bright, white lightning strike It sets a fire in August rain, explodes and blows the girl down. Electrified by the bright, white lightning stike. The bright, white lightning ... Wind sock says clear skies ahead and extra sensory side effects Now in an atmospheric state, half asleep, half awake Her body rises in the bright, white specter's light

Long Way 04:02
House parties and noise complaints. Stubbled legs on double dates Singing songs and spilling drinks while never quite pulling off Bohemian Rhapsody Perms and proms. Sandals with socks. Eventually getting caught. We've come a LONG WAY, baby. We've come along. We've come a LONG WAY, baby to love the things we all fuck up and it's all fine to me Homemade beer. Lost wedding rings. Getting locked out of the house and breaking back in. Broken bones and breaking hearts, making people think we're "really" smart Mistrusting a friend. Beginning at the end. Eventually caving in. We've come a LONG WAY, baby. We've come along... Salad bar religion and debt for education. Believing what they say on television. We've come a LONG WAY, baby. We've come a long. We've come a LONG WAY, baby, to have it all. We've come a LONG WAY, baby to love the things we should have done a little differently and it's all fine to me. Ya it's all fine. It is all fine to me.

Hush 03:32
Relax? Revive? Forgive? Depends on the substance I'm in. I think better when I'm under water The answers seem clearer when I'm completely covered, but I can't breathe in Not like we can when our lives begin Fragile bones and flimsy knees Compose the structure hidden deep beneath a thick, thick skin That's where the healing begins HUSH HUSH, HUSH HUSH, HUSH Your need is more than a little In light, in deep, in dim, exist the shadows I'm in. With salt thrown over my heavy shoulder I cross my fingers that getting older will bring strength within and courage to love the darkness I'm in and out HUSH HUSH, HUSH HUSH, HUSH Your need is more HUSH HUSH, HUSH HUSH, HUSH Your need is more than a little

What if this was my last breath? What if it was? What if this ... what if this was it? What if this was our last kiss? What if it was? What if this ... what if this was it? I'd be LETTING ME DOWN, LETTING ME DOWN like this I'd be LETTING ME DOWN, LETTING ME DOWN living like this What if we never have another and we die hating our mothers, hating our fathers? What if we never have another? What if this was it? We'd be LETTING US DOWN, LETTING US DOWN like this We'd be LETTING US DOWN, LETTING US DOWN living like this If all that we have is each other, why are we chasing the dollar blue and white collared? All that we have is each other, so what of all of this? Are we LETTING US DOWN, LETTING US DOWN like this? Are we LETTING US DOWN, LETETING US DOWN living like this? Don't you LET YOURSELF DOWN, don't you let you LET YOURSELF DOWN for this and I won't LET MYSELF DOWN, I won't let me LET ME DOWN for this.

Shy Lungs 02:48
Are you blind or unassuming? Have you really never thought about it? Naive and nervous, I'm a coward because I can't decide to say it; the thing in my head. SHY LUNGS waited too long. Held my breath, now you're long, long gone. Bend, Bend, a triangle's bent. That's the want-to-be lover's lonely longing lament. Manifesting secrets, I resort to drawing symbols in the sand. If I could draw them any clearer on this beach, would it help you understand what I'm saying Silently in my head? SHY LUNGS waited too long. Held my breath, now you're long, long gone. Bend, Bend, a triangle's bent. That's the want-to-be lover's lonely longing lament. It appears the sun is setting as you're packing up the blanket and me, I'm nervous. I'm a coward 'cause I know I won't decide to say it; the thing in my head. SHY LUNGS waited too long. Held my breath, now you're long, long gone. Bend, Bend, a triangle's bent. That's the want-to-be lover's lonely longing lament. SHY LUNGS waited too long. Held my breath, now you're long, long gone. Jealous heart, beaten and bled. Your affections for another will be my end.

Tsunami 04:47
TSUNAMI Before the Earth’s plates had shifted, I had stopped swimming in the ocean Because I kept getting pulled under by the waves You were a wave, at least you looked like the others But you weren’t the undertow … You weren’t the threat You were a wave, but you weren’t really quite like the others You were much bigger and could do way more damage So I reacted faster and stronger than I normally would have Faster and stronger than I probably should have If I had just held my breath ‘til I floated to the top If I had kept my mouth shut when the water felt rough If I didn’t feel inclined to start flailing around There would have been no fight, no reason to panic You would have given me the air had I not become savage, but the struggle was mine. I was being totally overprotective of myself But you weren’t the undertow… You weren’t the threat I was scared. I had never seen a tsunami before. And I’m sorry you had to see me in my survival mode. And I’m sorry for not trusting that you would stay Yes I’m sorry for not trusting that you weren’t the undertow, that you weren’t the threat If I had just held my breath ‘til I floated to the top If I had kept my mouth shut when the water felt rough If I didn’t feel inclined to start flailing around There would have been no fight, no reason to panic You would have given me the air had I not become savage, but the struggle was mine and I totally over-reacted Well I know better now and I know it’s too late. Your flood waters have all evaporated, but still I owe you my apology, nonetheless So I’m standing with my arms reaching to the clouds With my heart in my hand and my lips pressed shut, Hoping you’ll hear it beating. Because you weren’t the undertow… You weren’t the threat.

This Song 04:23
Sprawled out on a painted floor, taken over by rawness and void Coming to terms, coming to grips, sounds something like this This song is the sound that my heart makes It's the sound of my heartache Now that you're gone Reason will assure me that this ill will pass, that it's for the best, And your wounded heart will mend, like I pretend mine has But how can I trust my reason? It lied to me. It took you from me And it lies and plays games with me This song is the sound that my heart makes It's the sound of my heartache Now that you're gone This day didn't have to come This day ... though I brought it on
