When you hear the creeking
Down the hall
Through floorboards hear me speaking

make this world our own
call out the ones who aren't on our side
in case this folds
I don't mind if you come along
keep pace as told
you can't hide from being wrong
take all they own
call out the ones who are trying to hide
in case this folds
I don't mind if you come along
keep pace as told
you can't hide from being wrong
God sure was wrong
so we'll make our own

Upside

falling down I don't want to get up
cause an upside's something I don't got
or long for
I am going when the goin's tough
a miracle worker I'm not
or so I'm told
Until your anchor sets in her heart
she'll be across town all alone
until your anchor sets in her heart
she'll be across town with who knows
I'm sorry if I'm not quite what you thought
just another one that you can cross off your hopefuls
until your anchor sets in her heart
she'll be across town all alone
until your anchor sets in her heart
she'll be across town with who knows
if all these goodbyes don't hold
then why can't I'll be yours
All these goodbyes won't hold

Losing My Place

forget the compass, we won't need that
I will make sure we get back
no rush. it's not your last
I will make sure of that
You stepped through the door
you followed me to the maze
it swallowed you down
we're better off digging our own graves
than walking this one out
no need to panic it's not that bad
I will make sure we're on track
why don't you cut me slack
I'm on my own
You stepped through the door
you followed me to the maze
it swallowed you down
we're better off digging our own graves
than walking this one out
the door is open yet I stay
losing my place
I lost you somewhere along the way
while losing my place

you know that by insisting I pay attention
I'll find myself saying
hey this bottle is empty
I'm running low on reasons that I should stay
well I know things just can't work out this way
and that's exactly what I'm after
we will fall out of place
cause that's exactly what we're meant to do
you think that when this is all over we can
we can forget it exists
likely, I will only speak for me
there's nothing I can't fend away
well I know things just can't work out this way
and that's exactly what i'm after
we will fall out of place
cause that's exactly what we're meant to do
I hope that this short memory serves me well
from a far I'll watch as this resolves itself
I hope this short memory serves me well
No it won't work this way
and that's exactly what I'm after
if the road leads nowhere then, I'll bet
that's exactly where we're bound to go
no it won't work that way
and that's exactly what i'm after
if the road leads nowhere then, I'll bet
that's exactly where we're bound to go

Looking for Sounds
03:39

on the wall a painting fades
your favorite one you made
after all a mirror is hard to look outside the frame
you search in hopes to put a name
to this pain you found
you ware yourself down in so many ways
looking for a sound
the room starts to close in towards it
with walls that seem to shrink
maybe looking more will call if off
but looking makes you sink
you search in hopes to put a name
to this pain you found
you ware yourself down in so many ways
looking for a sound

The Exchange

you take more time than I think you need
less mind to put toward important things
and you fall short on me
you'll watch while I seek out your wants
pay thought to what won't fill your cup
and you don't stay on me
you walk with less purpose than you should
more time amounts to nothing good
and you fall short again
you fake your love for all that you make
no fault will be attached to your name
and you fall short on me
we break in two opposite ways
just can't seem to shake one voice keeping in range
that voice says mistakes are for both (of) you to claim
you'll share blame

I crossed all my t's and dotted my i's
forgot to jot down the rest of my lies
can't say I handle feedback too well
penny for your thoughts pays your way to hell
you bet if I'm saying it I don't mean it
cry wolf, claim to be the one who'd seen it
what's new? I'll tell you how I deem it
one more opinion to make you speechless
simple enough to state the obvious
it all comes naturally
better carry on my ways cause of all the benefit
of knowing too well

No Cuts

challenge thoughts knowing full well that you feel the same
don't we all have this gift of promoting someone's shame
all I know is they're wrong, back and forth
tell all our thoughts at once
no taking turns
we say how they are wrong
meeting adjourned
tell me now how you propose all this can be fixed
save some lives in the process, pretend we give a shit
all I know is they're wrong, back and forth
tell all our thoughts at once
no taking turns
we say how they are wrong
meeting adjourned
I'll hit and run, can't say you have won

I have to say, you're holding on too tight
you've mastered ways, of holding on too long
head back to your room now, the time allowed is gone
same time next week
they'll open the doors up to folks like me
maybe then they will finally let me take you away
I brought some things maybe you will like
from back in days before we were apart
remembering before all this had to start
same time next week
they'll open the doors up to folks like me
maybe then they will finally let me take you away

I'm told the end is near
no point in slowing down
with a taste I go from overwhelmed
to looking at a world I love to face
you hope to pull me away
yeah you hope to pull me away
you buckle when you're leaned on
I cry when you need space
so many days I tried to leave this line
but you keep holding my place
you hope to pull me away
yeah you hope to pull me away

So Right
02:05

don't think I'll ever walk away
I'll defend every stance I take
never confess your worst mistake
it doesn't leave you too much room to be
so right, I wanna be so right
