1. Delicate
Out on the streets of what you told me
there are buildings falling down on both sides
i’m holding steady on my feet
telling you, telling me it’s alright
Sometimes I think that we just say it
We wanna hear what it sounds like out loud
But be careful this is delicate
What we say is gonna follow us around
The word can have so many layers
One for you, one for me, one for us
I pay attention to the teller
How it moves is the truth
physical
Sometimes I think that we just say it
We wanna hear what it sounds like out loud
But be careful this is delicate
What we say is gonna follow us around
I can’t walk away from this
I mean what I say with this
And I know that it's delicate
You keep saying never always
Every time ever since absolute
But I was there for the grey space
I was living in the bright lights of you
Sometimes I think that you just say it
You wanna hear what it sounds like out loud
But be careful this is delicate
What you say is gonna follow you around
I can’t walk away from this
I mean what I say with this
I know that it's delicate
The world is made of words
The families and the herds
To be known is to be heard

Follow Me Down
04:12
|

Follow me down
Follow me down I can’t go up
I wish I could
I wish I could not see
I wish I could not see the cracks
But I’ve been looking
I’ve been looking
And then I find
Find myself paralyzed
Find myself paralyzed by other lives
But I’ve been moving
I’ve been moving

Birds
03:50
|
|||
I am a late morning sleeper
When I leave my mind alone
A dream you haven’t finished
Can become a longer one
Birds out on a wire like a bracelet on the blue
How long can you decorate deciding what to do
You’re never gonna choose
When you stacked your patterns
I became an open line
Of what do we inherit
Of what do we leave behind
Birds out on a wire like a bracelet on the blue
How long can you decorate deciding what to do
You’re never gonna choose
But you’ve got those eyes
And they look good to me
Even when they are closed
Even when they’re wandering

North Decatur
03:09
|
|||
Got to knowing
every word in its passing
All that I have
In the kitchen
tap it out on the table
All that I have
North Decatur
and a forest behind it
All that I have
Oh magnolia
painting light on the window
All that I have
My collection
deep the habit my memory
All that I have

Last of My Kind
05:35
|

Am I
The last
The last of my kind
I know how this instrument is designed
And I’m standing on the edge of past my prime
And everyone can ask me, yeah that’s fine
But I don’t really know
Am I
The last
The last of my kind
I can say I do not want it all
I prefer the mystery unfold
But if I let it go well, its gonna go
And I can’t get it back
Will it be lonely? In a way that I cannot see?
Am I
The last
The last of my kind

Century
05:45
|

Out in the garden where we started
We are two strangers trying to understand
We just want to know how the locals grow
Before the sun comes up we go out
Before the sun goes down we come out
When the light is changing that’s when we go outside to find our way
I am exposed
Wearing nothing but my clothes
And my companion she is blooming
I can see it on her skin
Before the sun comes up we go out
Before the sun goes down we come out
When the light is changing that’s when we go outside to find our way
And the ghosts out here don’t mind
They see it all the time
On the edge you cannot hide
On a sea bed out in the moonlight

Now We Know
03:54
|
|||
I can’t shake the feeling
that this ship is sinking
Casual as a curve
Lower and lower
It’s a shame we cannot use
All the little maps we drew
Back when the world was new
Now we know about the details
Now we know about the dark
Now we know about the details
Now we know about the cost

Just How Small
04:38
|
|||
Some fill it up with aliens
Some fill it with mermaids
I fill mine with vanity
and mistakes that I have made
While I ache for what is coming
and I ache for what is gone
Out on the open sea
with your batteries and the stars
Can you see
just how small you really are
While we ache for what is coming
and we ache for what is gone
While the mountains keep on spilling
into rivers we keep drinking from
How do you populate the void?

Relevant
03:37
|
|||
The vision of what’s relevant is getting crowded, getting strange
All I see could scatter me
It doesn’t stop it doesn’t wait
But the longer I look at you
The longer I want to
I look both ways
Crooked straight
Back and forth across your face
I’ve seen the range
Watched it change
I’m leaning in I’m leaning in
Cause the longer I look at you the longer I want to

Easy As I
04:00
|
|||
I am moving through the rooms
Touching everything I knew
Pick it up and put it down let it pass through
Light comes crimson in the fall
I put stars up on the wall
I was given my own vision I recall
I want to let things go as easy as I pick them up
Oh release the physical
Carpet woven on the floor
We wore dresses fell asleep on furniture
I wanna let things go as easy as I pick them up
