I'm just in the background
soaking up sunlight
I could be someone
I'll be nothing or alright
you lost me in the tall grass
say I was never with you
I'll weave my toes in the stacks
I'll blend in til the fields blue

Death

I'm walking around
trying not to forget
the reasons why I came
and the reasons why I left
I'm checking mirrors
and stopping to fix my hair
I'm watching a clock
pretending that it cares
we walked with a salty breeze
you played a song I barely knew
it became our soundtrack
to that strange year in late June
I laughed about coughing out
peer pressured smoke on the deck
you talked about a lot of times
that meant so much more back then
I'm running around
trying to forget
that we make the same mistakes
for the things we both regret
maybe that's life
when you think you know it all
cause how many times
has a summer love meant nothing by fall
it's not personal
when I say don't call
my bad, I thought "I like you"
was rhetorical
it's not personal
when I say don't come
don't even speak my name at all
I'm done

you held in your laugh
as people passed
blurry faces
doing nothing fast
I saw you up close
just plain and bare
what did you think about
as I held your stare
it seems that we cannot escape
this little hell that we made
I know that we rely on time
yet time does not wait
you left awhile ago
I grew to miss the pain
start the day feeling low
a piece of you stayed
I knew the trees that day
I saw a perfect place
just as dappled light
danced across your face
you saw me up close
I felt your air
what did you think about
as I held your stare
you always thought that I had
something else I wanted to say
but every word that I said
was taken the wrong way
you left awhile ago
I grew to miss the pain
start the day feeling low
a piece of you stayed

come to my show
don't forget to call
stand in the back
with your back against the wall
your nervous ticks
the cotton in your throat
I know why you came here
I'm the one you love the most
I can't hear you when you speak
you don't know how you feel about me
can we take this chance
can I have this dance
cool enough
for the room down the hall
hiding in there
cause out here you don't belong
brown button up
and your hair likes to behave
stiff in the bone
so monotone I like you anyway
I can't hear you when you speak
you don't know how you feel about me
but I heard you like to dance
maybe we can take this chance
forget the wandering eyes
it's easy if you try
for tonight
don't be shy

we need to talk again again
is this having fun am I just fitting in?
to the world you built for your innocence
but I know you well enough by now
you don't know what you see
when you look me in my eyes
you slept while i got up to leave
I'll choose to forget last night
I'll just walk in the cool crisp air
definitely fall not yet spring
there's quite a ways to go for love
there's quite a ways to go for you and me
a tangled net maybe a leash
I've stumbled out of what I thought was me
am I in these photos? is the mirror broke?
reinvent myself take out a loan
I'll smile wide in red-stained relief
as belt notches no longer deplete
but why are you here every weekend out?
it's like you fucking live here now
I'll just walk in the cool crisp air
definitely fall not yet spring
there's quite a ways to go for love
there's quite a ways to go for you and me
I'll just walk in the cool crisp air
just to pass some time
there's quite a way to go for love
quite aways from feeling fine

how did we get here?
are we even having fun?
no familiar faces
I don't recognize anyone
starting back In time
in a place I've never seen
pulling back her hair
never washing clean
but these thoughts aren't mine to keep
and in this dream you came to me
but I'm
invisible at the party
tell me when and where it hurts
your scars they cant be found
silky tears and pleated skirts
the nightmares you think about
your appetite it lingers
for the things you cant change
wrapped around a finger
choke on silly words again
but these thoughts aren't mine to keep
and in this dream you came to me
but I'm
invisible at the party
promises that couldn't break
this is more than I can take
cause I'm
invisible at the party
close my eyes no going back
I'm on the porch if you need me
just take your time
ill be here when you wake up...

Metamorphosis
02:52

woke up at dawn and found myself
in a perfect center on earth
heavy weight off my shoulders
and existential rebirth
swayed my hips to the beat
and your shackles disappeared
your reputation drifted away
yea it all became so clear
an illusion no more
its an illusion no more
its an illusion no more
its an illusion no more
I don't care about the way you step
I don't want you anymore
you're only beautiful inside my head
let the balance be restored
an ugly spell I've been under
now my mind is breaking free
your iron grip holding others
but you don't have a hold on me
its just illusion for my confusion
its just illusion for me
its just illusion for my confusion
its just illusion for me
I don't care about the way you step
I don't want you anymore
you're only beautiful inside my head
let my balance be restored
I don't care about the way you step
I don't need you anymore
you're only beautiful inside my head
let my essence be reborn

Stay
04:29

stay here
one more day
with the ones who
know your pain
warm sun
takes you in
strangers
turn to kin
by the river I held your hand
nowhere to go
driving far down country roads
we don't know we don't know
we don't know we don't know
darling
please don't leave
stay here
next to me
on king street
I'll wait for you
walk home
like lovers do
troubled girl that broke your heart
made of steel
she don't know who you really are
shes not real shes not real
shes not real shes not real
green fields where we lay
come back home someday

I'll soak up light
I'll be alright
if you give me time
so who are you to say
that I am not
being myself
the days they go by
but I don't know why
you had to leave
that person then
is not me now
but she sticks around
my rope burned mind
needs to let go
it needs something else
I asked for you
to shut the door
no options anymore
the blue will turn black
it wont come back
it wont come back
blend into the field
it wont come back
it never comes back
