Once I felt so able
As though my time was something I could own
I never thought I’d get caught speeding
But maybe I’d have gone slow if I had known
But these days I am full of half tones
An uneven coat of arms I follow
I might not have known but it sure wasn’t no one
It was waiting inside, all this time
I am seeing stars by daylight
I’m falling hard and I’m hardly moving
I’m still the same but also broken
I’m salting wounds that long since have grown bland
I’m reaching out and feeling nothing
I’m watching a clock whose face has fallen
I’m leaning in and cracking up
My bones will break apart before my heart slows down
I’m not giving up the ghosting
Sometimes I’m good sometimes I’m drowning
A silver spoon won’t buy more time
The body has its own way of disappearing

The present is a gift in someone else’s name
but you keep on trying to hand it to me
And it’s making me so nervous
Forgive me, my memory is not as good
As when it was held in by shores that have long since eroded
I’m living downstream from my poor decisions
Are ghosts just humans who’ve lost their memory, if so could you help me find mine.
Are ghosts just memories who’ve lost their bodies, if so could you help me find mine.
Funny how the older I get, the smaller that I feel
And I’m back in that old green trailer
Hiding from my father
And all the thoughts I worked so hard to run away from
Well they’re piling up, brick by brick and I’m caught in the rubble
Are ghosts just humans who’ve lost their memory, if so could you help me find mine.
Are ghosts just memories who’ve lost their bodies, if so could you help me find mine.
So many loose ends that don’t make sense
Inside a life unfolding
With all its pages ready for burning
Pieces keep going missing
And every word runs dry
Fuel for a mind on fire
Are ghosts just humans who’ve lost their memory, if so could you help me find mine.
Are ghosts just memories who’ve lost their bodies, if so could you help me find mine.
I’m looking for what I’ll never find
Please can you help me find what’s mind
I’m leaving long before I fall
Away from my life
Upon my volcano grows the grass
You don’t see the fire
But if you could feel the embers below
They haven’t yet died
I’ve met you before
How long has it been
I’ve been here before
But I don’t know when

Do you know where we’re going
I see a light but not an end
Hold on for your life
The tide is rolling in but you can hardly see it
No news is bad news
Waste heart hoping
The end is in sight if we can
Fall back
At the risk of repeating we can
Look back
I’ve spent days in your doorway
Rooms apart but worlds away
Six feet down and out
Making room for all the ghosts we haven’t met yet
Do you know who’s next?
Waste heart hoping
The end is in sight if we can
Fall back
At the risk of repeating we can
Look back
Why are we waiting for
a set back
Here I am caught again
Time keeps on dragging
On to the bitter end
And back on itself again

I used to walk everywhere and didn’t know anything else
time was on my side back then when I was sure we were on the outs
cause even bad days grew smaller with every tomorrow
Trouble then felt like something we’d eventually outgrow
Ooooo It wasn’t just better days
Ooooo it’s never just the growing pains
Ooooo I’m longing for the feeling of not knowing yet
I would clock out and go looking for you somewhere in the park
and the grass was wet but the sun was high and I wasn’t worried at all
all that mattered was the night ahead and not a single day more
I miss wanting to run away for fun instead of running from
Ooooo It wasn’t just better days
Ooooo it’s never just the growing pains
Ooooo I’m longing for the feeling of not knowing yet
Everybody’s searching for that moment
I’m terrified I’ll never find that feeling again
Don’t bow your head down
Don’t let you life be less than the one
You dreamed of when you were a kid
Like everyone
Not everyone
I’m longing for the feeling of not knowing
Everybody’s searching for that moment
I’m terrified I’ll never find that feeling again

Once I tried to build a home
In the middle sea
where nothing lives that cannot live without the light
And there I tried my best to win
the favor of a friend
but here I am fishing again in an ocean of doubt
In low light & high pressure
The lamps begin their flicker
This heartache is measured
Against your better nature
CHORUS:
Hold on
What have you done?
No one lost no one won
I see I was the lucky one
Compared to you
Do you want the truth?
Up atop a soap-box from where you
wash your hands clean
Of anything and everything you said to me
Your final words unearth the ruins of
Our unequal ground
There’s no magic in the things I did to adapt within your world
There’s no spell
That matches
Invisible advantage
In view of such violence
More harm comes from your silence
Stoop low
Hold your tongue
Some harms can’t be undone
I see i was the lucky one
I’ve long outgrown your reasons
I changed hands
Dealer’s choice
Broken tricks and old noise
An end must come
Turn around
You’re on your own
Do you want the truth?
There’s nothing magical about it
I work harder than you
I work harder to prove I can fill the same
Shoes you were born into
And i promise you this, the days I spent seeking approval
Have blossomed into years that I gave to myself
And give to the people who see me
I’ve left behind your shadow
And the place where it grew
Do you want the truth?
But just beneath the undertow you never know who’s hiding
Just because the light won’t show, doesn’t mean we’re drowning
Many more have come before and many more are fighting
One day you may learn the truth

Heavy Water

Heavy water in your veins
I hear it so clearly, repeating mistakes made
how can such wrong be outrun
With heavy breathing at your neck
A power so haunting, you cannot turn your back
Who will believe you just lost your way
Time will weigh so heavy
upon the loneliness of our misdeeds
heavy hearted time repeats
heavy handed with your words
a misunderstanding, unintentional harm
again, the wrong hands were our own all along
Time can feel so heavy
as it follows us to our knees
These heavy waters will never run dry
for every time you wring your hands
They pay a heavy price
these days ahead are sewn in
a patchwork of loss
where here again it is time that threads the needle
heavy water carves its name upon the rock
evil born from
the best of intentions we could have
