I Wish I Could Swim
05:32
|

in the water
gravity holds me down
moonlight bends to my eyes
there is no sound
my breath is endless, though it seems
time is stopped and i am found
sound asleep
someone hates in the back of the room
we're all friends
but there's not an ear for you
i won't lie i hate us too
i wish that i could swim
this pond is getting too thick again
could you please make it thinner
now my face feels hot
i've given all i've got
but im sure you know this
i want you to know this
must i say these things?
you won't walk with me
the saddest moment
we're without a purpose
and how am i today when the lights tighten?
with the insects inside them
to patronize you and i
i wish i could swim in this pond
it's hurting me again
could you please say i'm better?
Lyrics, first stanza is Brent, the rest of the song is Justin

We All Know

pretended like a window
it would take everything you have to not see through this fool
for now i'll sit between you two
and argue on both sides why we're blue
i could crawl inside
what would i even do if i woke up okay?
put myself where i can't feel abuse
it's so warm, i'm colder than you
let it drain
so no one goes insane
we all know why we all feel the same
let it drain
so no one goes insane
we all know why we all feel the same
let it drain
and hope that it helps
i'm so bored it's hard, hard to tell
Lyrics, Justin

Bermuda

|

i've heard these same sounds
but some sing too sweet to decline
lately i find it hard to try
'cus everything gets WORSE IN TIME
when it rains it pours
(the feelings broke and worn)
the water collects on open sores
(like we're all stillborn)
you took it for granted
the grains of salt, the paint on the walls
the clouds above, the rain that falls
it cleans us all
Lyrics by Justin, except for last stanza which is by Brent

Saccharine
04:45
|
|||
i'd always stop at the trees
a white room, blank tv
the dew would stay so long
but that's alright i'd wait, i'd listen
there was so much fun
pictures aren't enough
no one could see a thing
better meant nothing
hey, i know you want to go
but don't you like your play clothes?
it's okay the stains can show
no doubt hangs on you
so warm inside your homes for you
a waste of tinfoil hopes
i like these thoughts
my streets were soft
from these boys' shoes that i outgrew
but they still fit
Lyrics, Justin

Should Sleep
04:44
|
|||
so warm but i can't stay
discomfort that warrants the days
i pick words for your eyes your blind
my arms are tired from wasted time
I know that should sleep
but in my dreams i am weak
i need something to make up for what i lack
knock me out but i'd still ask "what's in your hand?"
why don't we stop trying? 'cus i can't sit still
i'm a hypocrite who is not special
i know that i won't sleep
the ceiling is always cruel
I'm too deaf to hear if anyone's sincere
and if they are they will go far away from here
although i'm bruised i still feel everything
anyone can say that they're a friend
Lyrics, Justin

Clovers
03:17
|

of all the darkness that covers your will
what is it you want to make me feel?
so sparingly you mutter and kill
what is it you want to make me feel?
And if there is some reason in youth
i'm way too scared to fail in truth
the force fed guilt that imprisoned you
is moving freely all the way through...me
of all the darkness that covers your will
what is it you want to make me feel?
so rare you rest where others only kneel
in the rain we'll all fade and peel
of all the darkness that covers your will
what is it you want to make me feel?
time can heal what was blind and real
but it hurts as bad as it always will
Lyrics, Justin

Bunny
03:04
|
|||
i don't force my regrets
you're porcelain dolls
calendars act as gauze
we say it works
strum a chord
i am a mess, i thought it worked
and i hope that i could honestly care less
that she's up north
nothing's new to pioneer now
used taboo has sunk to depression's prowess
i know that all bunnies hop
living, breathing, happy and content
reaching, starving, pointless and dejected
Lyrics, Justin

Penelope Isn't Real
04:45
|
|||
as she stands next to me
her heart as heart as pillows
and i believe that shame
is in the eye of the beholder
but i guess we're wired to be sad
all the eyes would only scare me
but it's not so bad
and someone should owe me
prettiness can trump almost anything
and i will be jealous and not as fun
i'd never think that she would even consider
but as we rest we wrestle wet blankets
it's easy to avoid the blame
when it all looks the same
life against a grey scale
never bleeding outside of the frame
and in my own way, i'm wasting away
and i fear that what i do won't mean anything to anyone
you could say that i'm forgetful
i hope that i can improve it's not beyond me
please take me back to where i remember when
we had a blank slate
i know she'll break my heart for normalcy
penelope, so clean
in utero we bleed
it's all just not for me
Lyrics, Justin
