Is this a fight? Where you don't want to talk to me? And you don't want to hurt me But you don't want to touch me And I just want to be held, so I know that you're not leaving But I don't think that's healthy So I stay over here and say things like "I think that there's more to say" yeah But I don't really say it And you don't respond You sit like meditating I lay here and write And no one is talking Is this a fight? Is this a fight? Is this a fight? Is this a fight? Is this a fight? Is this a fight? Is this a fight? Is this a fight? Is this a fight? Is this a fight? Is this a fight? A fight, a fight, a fight I don't know is this, is this a fight? Is this a fight? Is this a fight? Is this a fight? A fight, a fight, a fight

Send me somewhere I can get a break Somewhere far, far away Put me on a lake Put me on the sea Put me somewhere I can be baptized every time I dip my feet Put me on a lake Put me on the sea Put me somewhere I can see my eyes stare back at me Put me on a lake Put me on the sea Put me somewhere I can have fresh air to finally breath Send me somewhere new Where I can get a break Somewhere far away Put me on a lake

Questions fill my time But I've got space to fill I've heard they're both the same Can't tell my heart that I wanted all the money So I'd be able to sleep I wanted all the tears to dry So I could breathe Now I've got the money And lungs that know the breeze And I've got reason to believe that All the answers must be somewhere

Coffee 00:52
Coffee tastes like guilt But it's so hot, it melts away the layers of belief Until I see them standing naked Fraudulent and faking, lying through ugly teeth and laughing Coffee thick as silt Been sitting Cooled off, ears ringing, short nap Been waiting to understand so long That it's twice as strong in half the dose Coffee tastes like guilt and stings the tongue of the liar Who professed to be able to afford it and not to need it Even decaf leaves something filled And I wonder if I really love it or if I just want to consume I wonder if I really love at all or if I just want to consume And I wonder if my thoughts look dark to you Dark as coffee Thick as silt

You’re so creative baby and I don’t make much Yeah you’re an artist baby and I just make love You’ve got your head on strong shoulders, and I’ve crashed now I’m on the shoulder I’m selfless, you tell me be selfish, I don’t know where my self is in any of all this So I need it back yeah Darlin I need it back Keeper of my heart Yeah So I need it back yeah Darlin I need it back Keeper of my heart I feel you moving forward, I don't feel me moving too My records are playing over, you always here the same tunes I think you're getting bored of me love, I’m afraid I’ma lose you But I still just love you so much and I don’t know what to do So I need it back yeah Darlin I need it back Keeper of my heart Yeah So I need it back yeah Darlin I need it back Keeper of my heart You’ve got it all together baby, I’m just falling apart I’m holding you back girl, and I’m holding you back Keeper of my heart So I need it back yeah Darlin I need it back Keeper of my heart Yeah So I need it back yeah Darlin I need it back Keeper of my heart

Boundaries 00:45
So beautiful, so right, so full, so whole So easy to touch, to hold, To Drop To break To feel until its edges are sharp To drink until it's no longer contained When the sweetness escapes it isn't free It's broken Scattered Maimed Freedom and boundaries are not the same thing But binding what's beautiful into one book Does not denote the beauty of a page Boundaries are what keeps beauty from falling into pieces Still beautiful in pieces But so hard to hold

I'm sorry I've been distant I'm sorry I've been upset I know I could be better But I'm not healed yet I'm sorry I've been a day dreamer I'm sorry I've been a bad friend Someday I'll be better But I'm not healed yet And I don't know how to get close when my walls go up If I could take them down baby please trust that I would And I don't know how to get close when my walls go up If I could take them down baby please trust that I would That I would I'm sorry my hugs are hollow I'm sorry my eyes dart when I say I love you, I'm Sorry my ears are wanderers But I'm not healed yet And I don't know how to get close when my walls go up If I could take them down baby please trust that I would And I don't know how to get close when my walls go up If I could take them down baby please trust that I would That I would

I hope you find love ,in someone else's hands That you'll find peace and that you’ll understand Why I couldn’t leave, but had to take the chance On moving on, when you gave it to me And I thank you so much And I love you more Than you’ll ever see Than you’ll ever know And I hope you grow Taller than trees That blocked out your light When you were with me I hope your seeds, sleep in this snow And you find freedom, in somebody’s hold That you can rest, and she’ll rub your feet And scratch your back, just like you wanted from me And I thank you so much And I love you more Than you’ll ever see Than you’ll ever know And I hope you grow Taller than trees That blocked out your light When you were with me And I thank you so much And I love you more Than you’ll ever see Than you’ll ever know And I hope you grow Taller than trees That blocked out your light When you were with me And all of the nights we spent alone Live in this tapestry never unwoven I hope you know you’re not broken No you’re not broken And I thank you so much And I love you more Than you’ll ever see Than you’ll ever know I hope you know you’re not broken And I hope you grow Taller than trees That blocked out your light When you were with me And I thank you so much And I love you more Than you'll ever see Than you'll ever know And I hope you grow Taller than trees That blocked out your light When you were with me When you were with me When you were with me Thank you so much I love you more You'll ever see You'll ever know

Flowers 01:30
I wanted flowers but I didn’t tell you and You woulda known that if you really knew me And you claim that you know me so well but My heart was bleeding and You couldn’t tell I count the hours until my heart is honest with you Knew what I wanted but your Heart’s in a bottle And you only love me right when you want it But I’m thinking of leaving and You can’t tell Cause we’d rather burst instead of talking and Maybe it’s worth it in the long run yeah Or maybe we’re crazy and we can’t tell

My life is falling apart My home is falling to pieces Nothing I can do to put them back together The only thing I love, my parents so much they were together Everything was awesome until they separated It made me sad and gloomy my whole life I miss them being together And that’s when I was little We were together We were together I thought we would be together forever and ever They had to separate when I was younger I was younger

There’s a mirror on my ceiling and it sees me walking around There’s a guitar on my wall and she knows how to sound Like this feeling grieving, true I got this feeling and it’s you She keeps me singing ‘bout ya She keeps me singing ‘bout ya She keeps me singing ‘bout you She keeps me singing 'bout ya There ain’t no way around ya There ain’t no way around you There’s a mirror on my ceiling And it tracks my steps across the ground There’s a guitar on my wall and she knows how to sound Like this feeling moving, through I got this feeling and it’s you She keeps me singing ‘bout ya She keeps me singing ‘bout ya She keeps me singing ‘bout you She keeps me singing 'bout ya There ain’t no way around ya There ain’t no way around you She keeps me singing ‘bout ya She keeps me singing ‘bout ya She keeps me singing ‘bout you She keeps me singing ‘bout ya She keeps me singing ‘bout ya She keeps me singing ‘bout you She keeps me singing 'bout ya There ain’t no way around ya She keeps me singing 'bout you She keeps me singing 'bout ya There ain’t no way around ya She keeps me singing 'bout you

I know I need to set the clock down but it stays up On my sleeve where my hearts supposed to be And in this land of broken promises I stay stuck Between my expectations and reality This place like limbo Treading water It seemed so simple When I was younger I laid my roses at the altar And I hold on to this clock like It's my daughter If I could set the clock down I'd be free Leave my past out in the meadow for the foxes My future's just as heavy as my past 'Cause I have so many dreams I've put in boxes But times not linear it seems I'm always spiraling And washing my face is like a prayer Crying water please take what I don't need And return it to the sea, return it to the sea I'm crashing in the moment like a wave Wave Caffeine can't touch this level of fatigue Fatigue My heart it needs a shot of something straight up Up Maybe if it's strong enough I'll wake up Up I have so many journals filled with smoke I wove my past in poetry inside them And some days seem like everything's a joke I hope someday my children will unwind them And pull out every thread that wrapped my throat Set their spirits free of everything behind them If I could set the clock down I'd be free A tether to a part of me I need If I could be a song somebody'd sing I guess I'd love to share my everything If really every part of me was true I wouldn't try to prove myself to you If I could have a kiss and just believe That it was new and nothing would repeat I guess I'd be free I guess I'd be free I guess I'd be free I guess I'd be free I guess I'd be free I guess I'd be free If I could set the clock down I'd be free If I could set the clock down I'd be free If I could set the clock down I'd be free If I could set the clock down I'd be free
