Pressure 03:17
I can feel the pressure wearing down our backs we're all getting older stalling in our tracks You don't know the answer read it in the book I don't feel much better after all that took What am I supposed to believe in Who am I to break the words they're teaching with There's a lie it's lost in the east What's waiting for me Don't tell me that I'll be fine Winter's never coming like it used to be we're all falling backwards stuck in unbelief What am I supposed to believe in Who am I to break the words they're teaching with There's a lie it's lost in the east What's waiting for me Don't tell me that I'll be fine Oh darling here it goes I'm leaving here alone Don't tell me not to go I'm following the road

It's just a phase they told me hasn't stopped its holding sit and wait natural disaster Sleeping like the suns out empty pocket strung out I don't care it's not what I'm after And I can't wait to start what's in my heart What's in my heart today Yea I can't wait to start what's in my heart what's in my heart What's in my Waking every morning it comes right back to me I'm just searching for a warning give it all that I have give it all that I have to Waking every morning it comes right back to me I'm just searching for a warning give it all that I have give it all that I have to give Older days were honest miss the thump in my chest I don't feel don't feel like I used to I can see that old warmth mixing in the new storms I don't care it's not what I'm after And I can't wait to start what's in my heart What's in my heart today Yea I can't wait to start what's in my heart what's in my heart What's in my Waking every morning it comes right back to me I'm just searching for a warning give it all that I have give it all that I have to Waking every morning it comes right back to me I'm just searching for a warning give it all that I have give it all that I have to give (x2)

Waking Up 04:40
Summertime is what I've waited for and days go by but I don't feel much different than before Waking up to go back home turn the clock and I'll never know make the tea to soothe my throat When does my whole life begin What is god and where has it been Does it care about my sins Cause I've been wasting all this time hold me close and tell me it's alright Yea I've been wasting all this time hold me close and tell me it's alright Yea it's alright Colors fade down to subtle grey and I can't tell day from night and night from day Waking up to go back home turn the clock and I'll never know make the tea to soothe my throat When does my whole life begin What is god and where has it been Does it care about my sins Cause I've been wasting all this time hold me close and tell me it's alright Yea I've been wasting all this time hold me close and tell me it's alright yea it's alright No don't you tell me I was wrong I never knew what's backing down the road I'm living on I said don't you wonder If I was wrong

Turn Us Over 04:20
Drop it in the ground and watch it growing in and out of my head Blocking out the sun you're drowning everything you have around it Can you help me darling I have so many questions that need an answer I'm falling deeper so dive down in the ground help me help me take my time Leave it leave it off to the side Can we make it one more night cause I can feel it passing by Take another step behind it I can see the earth inside it Can you help me darling I have so many questions that need an answer I'm falling deeper so dive down in the ground Help me help me take my time Leave it leave it off to the side Can we make it one more night cause I can feel it passing by I can feel it passing by Help me Help me take my time Leave it Leave it off to the side Can we make it one more night cause I can feel it passing by

my face pressed against the window fogs the glass with my nose breathing heavy heavy i watch you make your way so freely up my father's driveway with my heart in tow oh oh oh oh oh oh my mind struggles to remember a moment I should regret more than letting go my feet planted to the carpet paralyzed by regret of ever letting go my lungs struggle to expand now why can't I get a word out I need to let you know oh oh oh oh oh oh I'm running faster faster I'm running into your arms I'm running faster, faster I'm running after your heart

Flat Circles 04:33
Tell me bout the scars again taking over when I stand I don't know where to go Leaving home is where I've been pull the boots up prune my skin I don't know where to go. Tell me what have I been coming home to It's all lost in my head on and on and on You don't have to pretend that you want to take back all that you said cause it goes on and on and on Tell me bout the man I was when my heart was still on the run I don't know where to go. Growing up and growing down screaming out I can't make a sound I don't know where to go Tell me what have I been coming home to It's all lost in my head on and on and on You don't have to pretend that you want to take back all that you said cause it goes on and on and on

Willows 04:47

Ghost 04:33
There's things that I don't know just breaking down in front of me What happens down the road is sneaking up so quietly Build it up and tear it down again I have seen beginning and an end We will feel things I can't explain but we love through the vast array This will break me to the fold and the pounding in my head won't ever go I can't deny this feeling when we are alone You're becoming part of me so come back home I've been afraid to run when everything is caving in Can't be the only one just holding on and saving it We have built a mountain out of cards hear the quakes they're coming from the dark There's a fire rushing through the woods we will burn like no one thought we could This will break me to the fold and the pounding in my head won't ever go I can't deny this feeling when we are alone You're becoming part of me so come back home So come back home

Atlas 04:27
silent tears guilty eyes we go back and forth again open up no one wins when we fail to feel beloved ---- did you know we're ok it's a secret I like to keep it's me alone you alone that makes us feel this way i'm just an earth on its axis organized madness oh my god how did we end up here and you say you say it's just a little too much to bear ---- hold on, hold on darlin' ----

Emotions 04:31
There's a girl in my bed that means something to someone but she means nothing to me And it's all in my head that I can't get enough of all the emptiness this brings But don't you let me go I'm out here on my own Please don't feed me those emotions She was talking to me but it's not quite the same as how we talked when you were home And it's so hard to see how we ended up here how I ended up alone But don't you let me go I'm out here on my own Please don't feed me those emotions I'm leaving I'm leaving it's almost time I'm leaving I'm leaving it's all untied I'm fine on the surface but I lost it all inside There's a girl in my bed that means something to someone but she means nothing to me And it's all in my head that I can't get enough of all the emptiness this brings But don't you let me go I'm out here on my own Please don't feed me those emotions
