Big Window
03:38

Too cynical
To see it coming
To hope away the war
My family
Is all I need
Until we find the oil
Ask anyone
I wanna come back
Let me find the wand
Too cynical
To see it coming
To help me up for once
I can’t help but write this down
Eyes closed, I see mushroom clouds
This view is like oh my god
A big window means a bigger explosion

I'm in the Band
02:55
|

The bouncer asks you
What you’re doing there
Hands full of gear on the loading dock
Filled up with beer and intrusive thoughts
“Oh, sorry, I’m in the band”
In my defense
It’s so easy to feel as if
No one can see you
But I’ll pretend
That you can still see me
Cuz that makes it easy
On you
And me too
Or just you
We don’t need a crowd to cheer
Or boo
You show up early
Or maybe late
Nobody’s in the green room or on the stage
Someone’s in the bathroom
You walk through the door and say
“Oh, sorry, I’m in the band”
In my defense
It’s so easy to feel as if
No one can see you
But I’ll pretend
That you can still see me
Cuz that makes it easy
In my defense
It’s so easy to feel as if
No one can see you
But I’ll pretend
That you can still see me
Cuz that makes it easy
On you
And me too
Or just you
We don’t need a crowd to cheer

Just Double Checking
03:12
|
|||
When we’re sleeping
I get up to check the lock
When we’re leaving
Back inside a dozen times
You’re trying to be patient
But I see you roll your eyes
Good can happen
I can be there when it does
Like when I’m singing to you
I know what’s in my hands
I’ve got a cat in my lap
The sun is streaming down
Like when I’m singing to you
And strum away intrusive thoughts
We could all be dead in an earthquake
But we could also not
Interrupting
the romance—
Could you repeat what you just said?
Birds were chirping in my brain
I’m trying to keep records of the time
That we spend
But my phone is out of space
Momentary grace
Like when I’m singing to you
I know what’s in my hands
I’ve got a dog in my lap
The sun is streaming down
Like when I’m singing to you
The center of gravity in my room
I’m giving in like the tide to the moon
Trying to be in control every moment
Is not as effective as you would think
I’m letting myself go
Embracing what comes in the absence
I’m gonna ride it like a wave
So I can get back to you
I know what’s in my hands
I’ve got a cat in my lap
The sun is streaming down
Like when I’m singing to you
And strum away intrusive thoughts
I wonder what will be left
I think I’ll like it a lot

Where you come to know
I have to know
He's got to go
But, uh
Leave me in the beat as he did
And I'm telling you that
I have got to know
Meet me in the beat as he did

Til I'm Whole
02:57
|
|||
Woke up on the edge
You took all the sheets in the bed
Hey there…
Are you dreaming?
Broke a yolk this morning
Sickened by the smell
Can the virus come through
My front door?
Oh, hold me till I’m whole
Under pressure
Over my mask
if you crush me,
I will be transformed
I got all the texts
I got all the calls
I’m not home
I’m just in my home
I want to take your hand, yes
But first I must take mine.
Oh my wrist
It needs some icing
Oh, hold me till I’m whole
Under pressure
Over my mask
if you crush me,
I will be transformed
Under pressure
Over my mask
if you trust me,
I will be transformed

All the WeWorks are dead
We play now
Drinking lemonade
In the ruins of downtown
I’m not hip, but I have been retrofitted
Word is out it’s not a competition
I’m not hip, but I have been retrofitted
Rip it up, there’s cracks in the foundation
All the WeWorks are dead
We play now
Presenting our big routine
To the trees in the crowd
I’m not hip but I have been retrofitted
Word is out it’s not a competition
I’m not hip but I have been retrofitted
Rip it up, there’s cracks in the foundation
Digging it down like a dog
Claiming and marking the land
Testing the strength of its jaws
Biting the head off a grown man
Suit up and get in the van
We’re going to family camp
Panning and mining a void
Looking for coins in the sand
Ripple effect
Destabilizing the place
Happily, lifting the weights
Turning the people in wheels
Tails have to be chased
I must have gotten it wrong
Cuz I thought all of the WeWorks were gone
I’m not hip but I have been retrofitted
Word is out, it’s not a competition
I’m not hip but I have been retrofitted
Rip it up, there’s cracks in the foundation
(You’re not ready for that conversation)
Call me when the world is like that…
All the WeWorks are dead
All the WeWorks are dead

And when the sadness goes away
There’ll never be another one to take its place
On the day Dad taught you how to swim
He tied on anchors round your ankles with a tale
“Hold in the pressure, make that sale”
When the roads are flushed by the sea
I don’t ever wanna pretend
Anymore
That I don’t feel this way
When our bones sink in
Interred with the shale and blue jeans
I’ll still feel so light in your arms
And when the sadness goes away
There’ll never be another one to take its place
You cornered me on your way up
Your pressure passes down through me to pneumatic brakes
When the roads are flushed by the sea
I don’t ever wanna pretend
Anymore
That I don’t feel this way
When our bones sink in
Interred with the shale and blue jeans
I’ll still feel so light in your arms
The waves
Are lapping at the ways
But the coastlines and the hairlines
Won’t be all we inherit
The will to love through change
Hold in the pressure
Raise that sail
When the roads are flushed by the sea
I don’t ever wanna pretend
Anymore
That I don’t feel this way
When our bones sink in
Interred with the shale and blue jeans
I’ll still feel so light in your arms

mes amis
l’air toxique
une journée parfaite
l'infographie
dit ne sois pas triste
tu seras traité
achetez à vos amis
ceux qui ne sont pas encore morts
prenez soin de vous et sauvez l'économie
voici comment parler
à votre meilleur amis
si vous pensez pouvoir le diagnostiquer
you and me
some toxic air
perfect day out
the infographic
said don’t be said
you will be handled
buy from your friends
the ones who aren’t dead yet
care for yourself and save the economy
here’s how to talk
to your closest friends
if you think that you could diagnose them properly

When the moon is on the other side
It must have moved, but so did I
Water turns black at night
Take a good look at yourself
When the moon is on the other side
If you think it’s all been said
That’s okay, say it again

I Wanna Believe

I wanna believe in love
I’m eating a chocolate bar named for loneliness
How can I admit
Holding hands with you makes me finish
Do you
Do you have something to say to me?
Do we own the word?
You are the gardener
A no is a no
Do you
Do you have something to say to me?
Do we own the word?
You are the gardener
I wanna believe in love
I’m eating a chocolate bar named for loneliness
How can I admit
Only holding hands makes me finish
Do you
Do you have something to say to me?
Do we own the word?
You are the gardener
A no is a no
