August 04:47
Paint the picture in your head The open window, the unmade bed And you see them Feel the weight of August heat The city sounds, the tall concrete And you're with them You don't know if and you don't know how The paint won't dry till months from now Can you see it? The sun still sets on an empty day And your mind's still lost in that summer haze Can you feel it? You can keep on guessing But do you wanna know? If the bed's still empty And you are still alone Run your fingers through their hair Hear them laugh but you're still not there Just imagine Suntanned skin on the cotton sheets Taste their lips, but still no relief Its distraction Hear the records play as the night creeps in And the world you've made is a skeleton Watch it fading Your life dissolves as you fall asleep Yet you're back again in the August dreams Feel it waning You can keep on guessing But do you wanna know? If the bed's still empty And you are still alone Close the window, make the bed Remember everything they said Remember everything they said Remember everything they said (Just imagine)

I wanna make you love the rain, if just for me I know it makes things dark, but I feel free You can love it from your room and stay inside Let it wash you clean, like an ocean from the sky I'll watch our shadows grow, as the sun begins to rise Refractions of the light will glisten in your eyes I'm afraid of youth and that life might pass me by But I'll follow every path you leave behind I wanna sit around my room and waste the day I wanna hear my mother's voice say "You're okay" And when my brother sits beside me in the car I will hold that love and put it in a jar

I have a secret you can hear Fear when you die I won't be near No one will think to tell me I'll never see your body Moments will turn to memories Is that just how it goes? I watched the movie that you made I saw the smile on your face Hope you were thinking of me Listening to The Zombies Give you A Rose for Emily And that's just how it goes You go exploring over seas I crash my bike into the trees There are no intersections Walking in odd directions Hear the phone lose connection Hey where did you go? I met you when we were sixteen Awkward and queer is how you seemed We never made a mistake How could we start with parting? I wanna feel your heartache That's just how it goes Cracks in the sidewalk trip my feet See shades of yellow when you speak Wave out the car's back window Think of me when you see your shadow There is grass underneath the corn snow That's just how it goes

Whale Fall 03:45
Whale fall Pick the body from my bones Come and make yourself a home Whale fall Leave your selfhood at the door Stay for years and pray for more The lights are off is there a reason To talk about what's still to come To fall this far means higher pressure Don't start to live until I'm gone Whale fall Take a space inside my brain Not the song, just the refrain Whale fall Let the silences unfold I am here, but not to hold The lights are off is there a reason To talk about what's still to come To fall this far means higher pressure Don't start to live until I'm gone
