Kaleidoscope 02:39
You carried the weight But your hands never tied up the rope that your head and heart made And I’m glad that you stayed Kaleidoscope shows you the path, but you choose what you take Feel the breeze, let it in Change your name, shed your skin We carry the weight I’ll hold up your arms if they’re tired, and you’d do the same And if the earth starts to shake We’ll climb to our shelter, our worries will fold in the wake Feel the breeze, let it in Change your name, shed your skin
2.
Ashes/Petals 05:01
Ashes, scattered in the dust I’m holding fading petals up To my skin, trying to bloom But darkness, ever-following Like lightning to a powerline A small spark, a bright light, and it’s gone Heartache aside, I see the blistered branches burst and bloom to life One at a time, I see the broke hues resume beneath the light To never define the time by skin that’s scabbed to only be pull back in healing Wipe the blood from my fingers, I feel rain To grow or wash away? The sea parts, or falls in crashing waves What’s broken is healing Fire, to torch or light the way? Ashes cover everything What’s dying is breathing
3.
Anxious in the sun, you’ll start to fade Finding weight to push the sinking spade Hesitation lines unseen from far away Shake until your bones give out and break You couldn’t let it go quietly Fishing through the pages for the curse Keep clean, sew the damage shut And if the stitches tear, don’t let them bleed On your own, distracted, you couldn’t let it be Repent, repeat I could’ve let it go quietly Misdirecting grace, yeah, but I know where it leads You’re kicking chairs to tithe And if it’s rubbing dirt in the cut Take some time to wash your hands and leave the crutch Enough Gravity, clinging to everything Pushing the ground up to your feet, like me Gravity, constant and crippling Clipping your wings above the sea, you sink just like me
4.
Not Grieving 04:43
Hollowed out, the gold and the glitter don’t stay I didn’t know Can’t tell you how, I guess the greenery got in the way I let it grow And it’s better now that the scenery’s starting to change But I wonder if you’re grieving anything In my sleep, walls around me are starting to cave in And I can’t sleep The memories, like flowers that grow in the shade Hang over me Inside a dream, the visions of closure decay I’m waking alone, grieving everything I’d dig under wells just to bury the way that it feels It cycles in swells until it heals And all of the power that you held in your hands You didn’t know what you had Now it’s gone I got lost in the sound of everyone saying the same thing I block it out It got so loud, now the visions are starting the grey I let it go Heavy now, it’s the feeling of shedding the chains Wouldn’t know if I’m still grieving anything Start again, before the ink’s even dried to the page I breathe it in, and I feel alright Am I wrong if I’m not grieving anything?
5.
Settling 05:07
Settling, rust covered everything Dust it off, or leave it for burying After all, the silence speaks louder than anything It’s holding my head to the fire Could you tell? Will it ever feel how it felt? A couple more years, does the guilt go? Finding fractures in our symmetry Carved our names out in the ground Let the season pass, then dig it out Cataloged the spaces between the words To try to swim, to drown, or to die of thirst? And the mountainside I’m climbing has just got me kicking dirt And washing my eyelids in rain Could you tell? Will it ever feel how it felt? A couple more years, let the guilt grow Like a shadow hanging over me Carved our names out in the sand Let it wash away and start again Now it’s sinking in I know it’s been a while To stay here in my bed If something don’t feel right

In Ether 01:51
7.
Bright-eyed I used to press palms to match your shape I let the feeling start to bend But it’s lost in ether To collect in callouses I let the curtain fall again So I change my tense for you From what you did to what you do From who I know to who I knew It’s a sinking feeling We are only here Gaining rings, showing surrender tells Hey, it’s not your fault The lines got tired, just as my body felt Breathe in I’d like to replant in barren soil Build something new with my own hands And I tried, but I’ve seen you Shed skin, and I’d like to think I float above that flooded land I lost it in ether It collected in silver strands I let my memories wax and wane
8.
In time you'll come to find The apple of your eye has lost its glow As seeds, we cut our teeth We rest, we feed, and soon begin to grow I see your youth like leaves The brown from green The season casts a spell Until we make like trees Uproot and leave to rot out where we fell And the branches that you held Like withered hands, letting go And if you've been there, then you know You've spent all your time just counting grains of sand In time you'll come to find The threading needle's eye has grown too small Collecting teeth in dreams, a broken reed A hollow, haunted house Your youth moves with the breeze The change in sea, the tide will sort it out Until we make like trees Uproot and leave to rot out where we fell Faith takes a toll And the time, oh the time it takes to grow So little time to go And oh, when you sleep Are you wondering? Is it helping you to dream? It's keeping me awake
9.
Honestly, who am I to tell you anything? We cling to comfort, then we change Passing resemblance, shifted shape It’s never been a sight to see Cold, to thaw the hurting that I froze Looking for pity, casting stones Like we’re together all alone Like you’d ever know that part of me My bitterness defects to make some space To drudge it up would be to show my age To say the same things in a different way For me, for you Honestly, who am I to give a part of me? I only say what I repeat I only sing what I can’t speak And it’s getting louder quietly Only my broken throne can draw me praise And cover well-wishing with golden paint Because I’ve had enough of only making waves For me, for you Comatose when you hear from me Echo back for your sympathy Like I need it, but selfishly Like I ever felt misery

Evergreen 07:32
Growth, from withered hands The branches bloom Breathe in the life decay assumes The healing spreads Your tired eyes will dry up soon In youth, so strong in love Like it’s all you need To repair a stitch or form a seam To look fondly back When you think of me We could be evergreen Age, stomach sinks, bitter pill All things must happen as they will Passing time, who’d you kill? So freeze the things you love It’s all you have Your age in waves, your mind like sand You float above your flooded land Floating and evergreen Grief hangs above all you do But it wilts in time to form into The light and rain to feed your roots So stay by my side, grafted to me Mold to my roots, my family We could stay just as we’ll be Forever and evergreen You, my crowned queen of everything Spoiling your royalty Staying here next to me You can’t have a part of me If I give you everything And I know who I am If you know who you are Evergreen Don’t sleep through the winter To wait for the summer’s apology And all that was hidden Is now in our hands and in front of me And all that we planted Is blossoming out into everything Forever and evergreen
