Overstep 04:07
Calmly, slowly, proudly go nowhere Please understand me When I'm looking lazy Blessed by the wrong thought You never forgot Fuck silver linings The piss left behind me You're claiming your winnings, exhausted Expanding, demanding, we're landing You'll never know in this home You'll never know in this home Drunken sweat in this home Night to forget in this home Need my sleep in this home Nothing we'll keep It don't mean the same thing Wearing different rings But when I mistook you I was the fool again
2.
Holler and chant But I know you don't like that But I'm still around Jumping from town to town I know You wanted us to go But my feet can't move from here Comfort and doubt You know we both have that I'm eyeing the couch But you're longing for our bed You trust me and still feel restless Live inside me and no more questions Come to your mind It's overwhelming And we'll say goodnight And sleep together
3.
My heart's a balloon Lifted by a violent typhoon In this breeze I swoon Swept up in your monsoon Glazed eyes stare Your lips need a wing and a prayer Smiling through her affair Volcanoes in Bloom Explode into our room Kissed you way too soon And we never made it to the moon Hold me like you would if I were him But you go limp 'Cause you see, he's right behind me

The Fall 04:54
Copy all your clothes You don't know what you want And I'll be standing by You don't have to lie on the floor Standing still but time You know we have luck Farther than we stand You don't have a plan And I'll just keep All my sleep Sink into regret And pause all of your dreams Sit and stare at walls Think about the fall And I'll just keep All my sleep
5.
No One Else 05:10
Leaving off Like I came from nothing Scared of God Like he's hiding in your dreams Well informed But I'm so bored I cannot trust Myself and no one else In the past We forget Don't compare This love to anyone else Me and You Doubting every pattern of loving Shameless, two-faced, liar, goddamned Calmly, slowly tell me everything that I need To pass this stubborn hour glass
