The Break Mission
As Much Light As
It Will Take
You Still Can
Maybe this is out of our hands
Tell me secrets I can’t make up
Kiss me while you still can
The innocence has run out
All in place of what we’ll never do
We all fake grace as we get older
Watch me shake as I fall in love with you
Kiss me while you still can
The innocence has run out
All in place of what we’ll never do
Let me feel a little bit
I want to be with you
You still can
I need you to be my own
A Trampled Year
So let me say what’s so obvious to say
You kind of left me anyway
The easiness we created broke in two
A splintered edge is stuck in you
It’s not right
Lets get away it’s a shame to sit and wait
You’re up in arms and up too late
There’s more inside but the streets are so alive
You called it off, I call at night
It’s not right
All your life, I fear this is all your life
Putting all of this aside
It’s been the best year of my life
Old Buildings
The party went on too long and she broke suit we’re drinking Maker’s in the dark
She told me about myself and I was scared but she was thankfully too kind
All alone that night I got in bed and whispered something from a song
Up In The Old Hotel, collecting dust, I shot some secondary praise
You know when you’re always right I guess I don’t we tried transcendence on for size
It only gave us a feeling that we’d let down all the people in our lives
I got to admit I walk a little slow so I am conscious of my time
I might arrange the buildings on my own so I can properly admire them
I got to get back alive before too long she’s waiting nervously inside
Watch as your hand slides off my shoulder safe now the camera won’t go off
The party went on too long and she spoke first we’re drinking coffee at my place
She told me about myself and I was scared said she’s leaving me behind.
Starting Point
We are all stars now
We wait for evening
I hope you don’t notice my lifeless entry
Do you exist?
Remember why we started out
We swore we’d be different
You’ll make a million
I knew before you
I thought of your line once, how you’d sell your children
Do you exist?
Remember why we started out
We swore we’d be different
We are all stars now
Yellow Paper
It’s not my escape
When you fell down, I was carrying your weight
I believe that it’s all over, love
Your safe embrace of the world has come undone
The money’s alive and we all want some
We forget the silent heart
No problems left when you solve them all along
I believe that it’s all over, love
Your safe embrace of the world has come undone
The money’s alive and we all want some
On a piece of yellow paper you wrote the loveliest thing I’ll ever read
I believe that it’s all over, love
Your safe embrace of the world has come undone
The money’s alive and we all want some
Sleep It Off
So she lied, she tries so hard
A little goes a long way
Why on this day, are you so hard on her?
Please this once, let her sleep it off
This, it’s not living, she said tonight
But she longs for love in these times
Why on this day, are you so hard on her?
Please this once, let her sleep it off?
If love is nothing, there’s an answer yet
Time’s a blessing, she will forget
Outside and Below
Can you fill your heart whenever you like?
If so, can I watch you for awhile?
Cause it’s the purest thing that I’ll ever know
And I’m ready for some well spent time alone
This movie makes me want to scream
Collective wasted energy
Cause there’s a fury outside and a message below
Such a curious time to be in control
So please save your apathy
I’m at one with my new hollow, modern beliefs
They lift me to sleep and I wake with some new ideas to keep around for awhile until they bother me
Tuk
I can’t forget now
For you
I’m not getting over it
I want a new life, without you in the back of my mind
Something Like A Promise
I don’t mind at all
The way you spin your wheels to impress me
Cause it let’s me know you’re alive
I’ll take your advice
If you swear you won’t take mine
Cause it let’s me know you’re alive
Forgive me so I can do it all over again
Once
You call yourself uninspired
Cause you hesitate, but we all do
Well there’s a word for it
And your escape is far gone and fenced in
Hold the light and watch the shapes to see how beautiful the walls can be
All these scars we’ve placed on it with furniture and mad beliefs
Down the hall in someone’s bed
A voice is shouting from a lover’s head
Well there’s a time when we
Should only say enough to feel some levity
Hold the light and watch the shapes to see how beautiful the walls can be
All these scars we’ve placed on it with furniture and mad beliefs
Hold the light and watch the shapes, you see them dancing on the wall
The lights from cars and the ocean’s breath, remember we were young at heart once
I Will Always Be Your Distraction
I want to be so close I can feel excited
I hope that she’s nothing like me
Are you getting too old for my silent recoveries?
Your surprises they fall flat when you say you ought to know
I’ve been coming along now I’m starting to find it
I hope that she’s nothing like me
There’s a thread and I’m hopeful some balance will show itself
Your surprises they fall flat when you say you ought to know
You press me I won’t hesitate
It’s not what’s inside or what’s at stake
So if you think California is the place you desire
Just tell her that one day she had me
And when she gets a bit older don’t start in on how things should be
Your surprises they fall flat when you say you ought to know
As Much Light As It Will Take
Sorry babe, your life is a lovely place
It’s just me, my facts aren’t straight
In need of a warm embrace
Honestly, tried and true
I still live in those days with you
This over and over breaks
As much light as it will take
