The magic fell
Out of my pocket on the carousel
The colors were cold
Against the memory of a neon glow
And by the time I made it up to the zenith
I was already falling back to the planet
On my way back down
I searched every face in the crowd
I was looking for you
I was looking for you
Everywhere
What’s left behind
Sleeping underneath the corkscrew ride?
Trash and loose change
A buried treasure
From a better day
And by the time I made it up to the zenith
I was already falling back to the planet
On my way back down
I searched every face in the crowd
I was looking for you
I was looking for you
Everywhere
I was looking for you
I was looking for you
Everywhere
I was looking for you
Looking for you
Everywhere
What’s left behind?
What was yours?
What was mine?
And by the time I made it up to the zenith
I was already falling back to the planet
On my way back down
I searched every face in the crowd
I was looking for you
I was looking for you
Everywhere
I was looking for you
I was looking for you
Everywhere

Ten Year Plan
03:02
|
|||
|
Call over the mountains
I'm in the water, been wading here for hours
Singing your name again
Maybe I'll wake up from it someday
In a familiar place
You're somewhere on Saturn
Kicking your feet over
Her rings keep on turning
While the third planet's smoldering
Maybe I'll wake up from it someday
In a familiar place
It's all part of this ten year plan I made
It's getting hard moving through life like a hurricane
Down through the rain clouds
I hear a lullaby
Somebody once sang me
Over a cricket cry
Maybe I'll wake up from it
It's all part of this ten year plan I made
It's getting hard moving through life like a hurricane
It's all part of this ten year plan I made
It's getting hard moving through life like a hurricane

I Knew You Better
02:38

A picture book, a paper letter
Remember when I knew you better?
You were my bank, I was your debtor
Remember then?
I knew you better
I read your book the day you wrote it
I took a look and barely noted
A simple friend, a simple pleasure
Six out of ten
I knew you better
I heed your word
I need your tether
Your eager art you string together
And all your friends, the light, the weather
Remember them?
I knew you better

A Different Gravity
03:44
|
|||
|
I wonder if the stars
Will know that I'm alone
And hold my lonely bones
I wonder what they see
I wonder what they dream
A different gravity
Leave me air
I can be good and I'm cool I swear
I just take a while to settle in
But you'll love me if you know me if you know what I mean
I leave the light on, I'm afraid of the dark
But I can't believe that no one else has terror in their heart
And everybody seems fine as they parade the city streets
Saying that they're doing very well to everyone they meet
And what's a dollar bill? What does it really buy?
Can it cordon off the terror that we're really all alive?
And everybody is scared, everybody is dumb
Everybody is really wishing that they really were someone
Leave me air
I can be good and I'm cool I swear
I just take a while to settle in
But you'll love me if you know me if you know what I mean
I could be something
I could be number one
But I've found it is so much easier to sit at home and wonder
Whether I could slip away at night
The city is asleep
I could disappear away into the darkness I believe in
Wait
I care
Hold on I'm coming up for air
Wait
I care
Hold on I'm coming up
Hold on I'm coming up
For air
Blue, blue water
Will you be good to me?
A different gravity

Thought I read myself in your story
But I can talk myself into anything
Pulled into the sky in a beam of light
They opened up your mind and
Stole the memories of you and me
Dropped you down quietly
Really had some heat for a passing fling
But I can talk myself out of anything
Guess I should give it time
Guess I should be just fine
If it was that easy for you to walk away
When we still could be
Singing songs in your bedroom
Sleeping 'til the afternoon
Walking round the reservoir
Wondering how far is too far
Pulled into the sky in a beam of light
They made you change your mind
Stole the memories of you and me
Dropped you down quietly

I'm cool
Just take it from me
Been there, done it
Easily
What if they find me out?
They hear what I'm about
Realize I'm someone else
I'm bad
Take it from my friends
They don't go here
You don't know them
What if they find me out?
They hear what I'm about
They flip me upside-down
Shake all my spare change out
What do I tell myself now?
Turn inside-out to see
What's hiding in the weeds
I'm chill
I'm not losing sleep
Over what they say about me
What if they find me out?
They hear what I'm about
They flip me upside-down
Shake all my spare change out
What do I tell myself now?
Turn inside-out to see
What's hiding in the weeds
Tangled up endlessly

Boom Run
03:41
|
|||
|
Acrophobia
Kicked in full paranoia
High in a gondola
Old neuroses
Back again to check in on me
No, I haven't changed a thing
Nothing
I'm always right behind
Like a private eye
Cautious, petrified
Follow the leader
She is little with speed fever
Where can you learn to be that free?
Was it in our blood and they just left none for me?
My sister raced the sun all the way down boom run
That day was almost done, they melted down into one
I felt the fear in me slowly unraveling
I followed with clenched teeth, keeping one eye behind me
You never know when it gets this cold
No, you just never know when it comes to people
My sister raced the sun all the way down boom run
That day was almost done, they melted down into one
I felt the fear in me slowly unraveling
I followed with clenched teeth, trying to warm up cold feet
My sister raced the sun all the way down boom run
That day was almost done, they melted down into one
I felt the fear in me slowly unraveling
I followed with clenched teeth, settling into full speed

The World Opens
03:14
|

Sometimes our bodies turn their backs on us
Sometimes the world opens and swallows us
Sometimes our minds fill up
Capsize
Tragedy’s out of sight
Waiting like a landmine
Sometimes our bodies turn their backs on us

Double knotting
Pulling beads on strings
Trying to catch all of the same bad dreams
I've been having since I was thirteen
I would really like to get some sleep
Who is keeping time?
I really would like to know
I've been sitting alone all night
Sitting at home too blind to see the way
And it's difficult every day
It's difficult every day
Why's it so difficult every day?
Hang it high above my head
Stop talking to my hands
And asking them is anybody listening?
Maybe if I say them all out loud
They will dissolve
Float up to the clouds
Who is keeping time?
I really would like to know
I've been sitting alone all night
Sitting at home too blind to see the way
And it's difficult every day
It's difficult every day
Why's it so difficult every day?
