cough up loose dust
empty pens and nails rust
i've turned to ghosts
answers i want most
so pack your bags and breathe the air
take your white coat and comb your hair
i never meant to hold you back
i never want to see you like that
cut off loose ties
bring out your knives
i'm crumbs on your floor
i'm sand by the door
so pack your bags and breathe the air
take your white coat and comb your hair
i never meant to hold you back
i never want to see you like that
stumbling home at night
stumbling home blind
and i've got a short lead
so you can mislead me
i never meant to hold you back
i never want to see you like that
stumbling home at night
stumbling home blind
cut off loose ties
you have time
cut off loose ties
you have time
cut off loose ties
you have time
cut off
so pack your bags and breathe the air
take your white coat and comb your hair
i never meant to hold you back
i never want to see you like that
stumbling home at night
stumbling home blind

Salty

fight or flight i already gave my name
i'm out at sea and i'm stuck in this shame
you fall through the cracks, you slip through my fist
i can't taste anything when everything is so damn salty
la, la, la, la
this is no dead hose
we'll beat it in the dirt
i'll take all the blame
i will go first
time and place, it's all of the same
you're a slippery fish and i'm a wind-up game
the ghosts come out and they call my name
i can't flee cause i know it'll come back to haunt me
la, la, la, la
this is no dead horse
we'll beat it in the dirt
i'll take all the blame
i'll fake all the shame
i will go first

i see migrating eyes
an inferior mouth that speaks too loudly
and i am under the...
don't we breathe in the same air?
i think you're lost down there
i don't need you to tell me
everything that you think about me
and i am under the gun
but i am getting along
i feel a mouthful of sand
an inferior hand that holds too strongly
and i am under the...
the bottom is where
you tend to feed from
i don't need to feel the pressure down there
i don't need you to tell me
if you do or don't think i'm pretty
i don't need your dark, dark energy
i don't need your any any anything
and i am under the gun
but i am getting ahh
but i am getting on
but i am getting along
i don't need you to tell me
everything that you think about me
and i am under the gun
but i am getting ahh
but i am getting on
but i am getting along
but i am getting along
but i am getting along

is it my age, a chalked up phase
i don't see past the table these days
before i said i want it...
take too much
greed or luck
am i am i green enough?
before i said i want it, i should know what i get
put it in a box and give it a girl's name and
leave it on the shelf next to other things i don't need
and i'll call it out
is it okay, is it enough
am i am i good enough
before i said i want it
i should know what i get
put it in a box and give it a girl's name and
leave it on the shelf next to other things i don't need
and i'll call it out
it is my age, a chalked up phase
i don't see past the table these days
before i said i want it, i should know what i get
put it in a box and give it a girl's name and
leave it on the shelf next to other things i don't need
i don't need i don't need i don't need i don't need i don't need i don't need

it's on the cusp of time
i'm tongue tied
we wait in morning light
i'm so tired
and it's not in my head and it's not in my
and it's not in my mind in my mind
i wanted to be like them
i was so wrong
i can't go anymore where i don't belong
and it's not in my head and it's not in my
and it's not in my mind in my mind
i'm so tired
don't speak
oh, let it be
don't speak
oh, let it be
all i see, patterns in the trees
don't leave
oh, let it be
don't leave
oh, let it be
all i see, patterns in the sea

leave me here/give me back all those years/i won't hide, i can't fight, i won't lie/we're high and dry
i get so lost when i'm alone but we go so far down to the bone/ didn't i
didn't i, didn't i/gave all i tried
leave me here/let go of your fears/i won't hide, i can't fight, i don't lie/we're high and dry
i get so lost when i'm alone but we go so far down to the bone/didn't i
didn't i, didn't/gave all i tried

we are in for the return
it is the wrong turn
we're on a one-way
no one reciprocates
no one hesitates to tell you how they've made it
just cause i don't talk aloud
don't mean that i don't have a thing to say about it
just cause i keep it to myself
don't mean that i'm not thinking about it
just cause i don't scream aloud
don't mean that i don't have a thing to say about it
just cause i don't speak of myself
don't mean that i'm not thinking about it
i cannot get a word
when all the things you say
nothing to do with me
the things that shape us
the things that make us
overtake us
compensate us
we're in a straight line
it was a fake spine
we had a false line
you hear me this time
when we want to revert
it is going to occur
it is a long way
no one reciprocates
no one hesitates to tell you how they've made it
just cause i don't talk aloud
don't mean that i don't have a thing to say about it
just cause i keep it to myself
don't mean that i'm not thinking about it
just cause i don't scream aloud
don't mean that i don't have a thing to say about it
just cause i don't speak of myself
don't mean that i'm not thinking about it
i cannot get a word
when all the things you say
nothing to do with me
the things that shape us
the things that make us
overtake us
compensate us
we're in a straight line
it is a fake spine
we had a false line
you hear me this time
you hear me this time
you hear me this time
you hear me this time
you hear me this time
you hear me this time
you hear me this time
you'll hear me this time
you'll hear me this time
you'll hear me this time
you'll hear me this time
you'll hear me this time
you'll hear me this time
you'll hear me this time
you'll hear me this time
you'll hear me this time

i'm pulled a thin thread, i am unraveling
bird on a thin wire, oh fly or expire
do i fail pride/do i feel anything/do i hold too hard/do i have anything
alone we are again
words have no meaning
we sink or we swim
what's that you say again
do i fail pride/do i feel anything/do i hold too hard/do i have anything
are we past those times
are we past those times
are we past those times
are we past those...
i'm pulled a thin thread
i am sinking in
words that you say again
are we back to the beginning
are we back
are we back
are we back
are we back home
