Down in the tropics winters have never been cold Not even the whispers I’ll suit up this year trading forests for piers, seeking snow Against the will of my bones Reverse migration, feathers adorn my sweet home Returning the favors The plans have been tailored and the glass has been cleaned once more With fire burning my bones Fallen leaves adorn this trail to mystery Quiet streams still running to my mouth Is it something I’m not that I’m afraid to find out But my mind misses change, change to something I’m not

Forget 05:10
Welcome in to my covert No roof, no floors, frames or pictures And no promises I think I got it figured out As I take a look at my bone white painted bedroom walls I know I should have said goodbye The seasons used to feel like one Ours skins caressing clouds off dreams, leafs and perfectly blue skies Now I can’t even feel my eyes Clouded by the rain I held in for too long Pressured thunderstorms now breaking through my eyes I lost my compass now all I get to see is the floor I think I saw you holding hands It brought so many thoughts of past adventures and photographs I think I used to say they lied I wish that I could live a lie But then again I think of all the things that made me run I’m sure that loneliness was one And all these pieces don’t construct my previous thoughts They’ve been scattered and then filtered through my heart What was my discourse I throw my body against the wall Is it true I didn’t care is it true that I just gave you away Is it true my brain did hide what my heart was beating for Just to let me forget

War Is Kind 04:36
Lyrics inspired by Stephen Crane's book of poems War is Kind (1899) One feels the air so suffocating But war is kind, yeah war is kind Swarms of glory dissipating But war is kind, yeah war is kind You fear seeing battle in his eyes And shallow trenches can’t contain all the red and gold My Dear These men were born to march and die Allowed to roam an empty plain to be swallowed whole My Dear Exposing youth to burning hearts To half filled promises with dirt and marble lids as crowns My Dear But bless the sword that plows this land The wrath of god upon us swift and flaring They rode fast and mighty glistening Leaving all behind The colors at their door still waiting there I see the silver flickering Banners flying fast The flutter in the sky announce the end But poor bloody thing…

I’m planning a fair fight without you My calendar has been crossed out in blue Numbers trapped in threads of ink Announcing expeditions too soon But on a stormy night our bodies finally made a truce But on a stormy night they knew just what to do You glanced before you disappeared I’m flooded by these senseless downpours Could currents still affect your roots Cling onto my crumbling youth But on a stormy night our bodies finally made a truce But on a stormy night they knew just what to do And on a stormy night you knew just what to do And on a stormy night these electric charges sheltered me and you And on a stormy night the heavens screamed for you

Fall 05:38
In my eyes a river is forming It’s always been this way In my mouth a whisper is forming It’s always been this way But I want to let go, want to scream My throat is aching to make a scene Just spare on your way Spare me and I’ll be on my way In my mind these thoughts are forming It’s always been this way In my heart this rhythm is forming It’s always been this way But I want to let go, want to scream My heart is struggling to keep on beating
