Dead Moon 04:03
Some more mornings I wake up soaked in sweat and disbelief Sometimes I forget and make assumptions That it was all a dream On bad days You make me feel like I can stay afloat I'm part of something big and I'm not drowning Cause when you care it shows Cause when you care it shows through well Count the stars Sitting quiet Underneath a pale, dead moon The water's still And filled with constellations We laid awake And watched the sun set Underneath this pale, dead moon No matter when This night will end too soon In 10 years I like to think we're still collecting shells From beaches on the coast while we debate on Who loves who the most It's cliche But last summer I married my best friend Looking out across the Saratoga Collecting shells again Cause when you care it shows through well Count the stars Sitting quiet Underneath a pale, dead moon The water's still And filled with constellations We laid awake And watched the sun set Underneath this pale, dead moon No matter when This night will end too soon

Her skin and her lashes Betray the everything he thinks He cannot believe it Her knowing more than he could He fights it, she breaks it He cannot see into the star He cannot see into the star She got it, the story A painful allegory She knows it, compose it The bros they rush to close it There is a, a light that It cannot penetrate you are The heat the center of the star Where will you go When the bleeding begins Will you watch from the tower The end, the end Where will you go When the bleeding begins Will you watch from the tower The end, the end Where will you go When the bleeding begins Will you watch from the tower The end, the end She's seen it, the war it It tore her to her core and Survived it, she left it She's here and free and lived it They fight it, they hide it They know beyond the brightest star It's done, it's bleeding, there you are Where will you go When the bleeding begins Will you watch from the tower The end, the end Where will you go When the bleeding begins Will you watch from the tower The end, the end It's cause we give a shit It's cause we give a shit It's cause we give a shit It's cause we give a shit It's cause we give a shit It's cause we give a shit It's cause we give a shit It's cause we give a shit It's cause we give a shit It's cause we give a shit It's cause we give a shit It's cause we give a shit Where will you go When the bleeding begins Will you watch from the tower The end, the end Where will you go When the bleeding begins Will you watch from the tower The end, the end The end, the end The end, the end

Hater Season 03:28
It's the lie to hide the lie The parade of doing nothing It's a shiver, a shudder, a claim To everything I wanted Everything I needed Everything I wanted Everything I need Everything I need Blame my dreams one by one The charade of being something When I hate them like family, I know I'll give up everything I wanted Everything I needed Everything I wanted Everything I need Looking back on the map I can see why Nothing made sense to me I'm always on the outside Always inside Looking back on the map I can see why Nothing made sense to me I'm always on the outside Always inside Looking back on the map I can see why Nothing made sense to me I'm always on the outside Always inside Looking back on the map I can see why Nothing made sense to me I'm always on the outside Always inside Looking back on the map I can see why Nothing made sense to me I'm always on the outside

We lost an acre of our property Swept from the shore line Cause we believed That cutting back the trees Would keep us safe from fire We had to leave our homes When the river rose too high When the morning comes We won't be alone If the morning comes at all When the morning comes We will brave the storm If the morning comes at all It wasn't long ago when we believed Our children's children's children would see What we see Then decade after decade We ignored the signs The cities became desolate We're short on time When the morning comes We won't be alone If the morning comes at all When the morning comes We will brave the storm If the morning comes at all When the morning comes We won't be alone If the morning comes at all When the morning comes We will brave the storm If the morning comes at all When the morning comes We won't be alone If the morning comes at all When the morning comes We will brave the storm If the morning comes at all

There was a time when I looked for you Seven sisters on the roof I looked up, I dreamed of you Would someone come and tell me, "Be ok, be ok, be ok"? Waking up so sick Waking up so scared And isolated Waking up so sick Waking up so scared And isolated Space creates time that I can't undo Out of my mind all that we went through I moved on, my back to you When you finally realize Where we were in 1995 Waking up so sick Waking up so scared And isolated When you finally realize Where we were in 1995 Waking up so sick Waking up so scared And isolated Waking up so sick Waking up so scared And isolated There was a time when I looked for you Seven sisters on the roof

There was a time when I was so naive Your red lips came up and smiled at me And you dressed me up and you died my hair Flew down the road in summer's air And the seasons run by And the seasons run by And the seasons run by Beyond my eyes And the seasons run by And the seasons run by And the seasons run by Beyond my eyes There was a time when you had all your dreams Head held high, the spotlight filled your needs You had the spark and you had the fire Blew up in smoke when things ran dry And the seasons run by And the seasons run by And the seasons run by Beyond my eyes And the seasons run dry And the seasons run dry And the seasons run dry Beyond my eyes There was a time when you were lost at sea Your head half in recovery And the wind swept into your lonely room Winter came too soon And the seasons run dry And the seasons run dry And the seasons run dry Beyond my eyes And the seasons run dry And the seasons run dry And the seasons run dry Beyond my eyes

What's with all these dudes Telling women's stories Do they see the irony When they speak for her And forfeit her own tragedy What's with all these bros Pretending that they know her She's a hollow cavity That they fill with words And graft a personality It's not a podcast, it's a sausagefest And her body's not a science project To show off with your friends It's not a podcast, it's a sausagefest Your hypothesis is nothing more Than a short-sited best guess What's with all these dudes Repetitive and boring Do they think she faked her death And hope she'll fight back Cause any attention's great for them It's not a podcast, it's a sausagefest And her body's not a science project To show off with your friends It's not a podcast, it's a sausagefest Your hypothesis is nothing more Than a short-sited best guess Will you do all the pretending While she's waiting for the ending Will you do all the pretending While she's waiting for the ending

Happy New Year to my enemies Merry Christmas finally Do you represent the populace Or the white supremacy? "We need climate change," you say New York City's freezing up Do you think that's how it works Or do you want us burning up? Do I have to pay a troll To get this through your thick skull? Are you stupid or an asshole? Are you an idiot? Are you a jerk? Are you stupid or an asshole? Are you an idiot? Are you a jerk? Russia, if you're listening You'll be rewarded mightily Don't you know you'll go to jail Or do you know they'll set you free? Spilling words into the crowd Play a leader on the screen Am I watching CNN Or just reality TV? Do I have to pay a troll To get this through your thick skull? Are you stupid or an asshole? Are you an idiot? Are you a jerk? Are you stupid or an asshole? Are you an idiot? Are you a jerk? Mouthful of blood laughs Mouthful of blood laughs Mouthful of blood laughs Mouthful of blood laughs Mouthful of blood laughs Mouthful of blood laughs Mouthful of blood laughs Mouthful of blood laughs Mouthful of blood laughs Mouthful of blood laughs Mouthful of blood laughs Mouthful of blood laughs Are you stupid or an asshole? Are you an idiot? Are you a jerk? Are you stupid or an asshole? Are you an idiot? Are you a jerk? Are you stupid or an asshole? Are you an idiot? Are you a jerk? Are you stupid or an asshole? Are you an idiot? Are you a jerk? Are you stupid or an asshole? Are you an idiot? Are you a jerk? Are you stupid or an asshole? Are you an idiot? Are you a jerk?

Waiting on the day When we can say, "we're ok" Who will catch us when we fall? Not so safe after all After all the years I've built up my battlefield One by one you break me down Wait for you forever All of the times I fell in love And kept it a secret from everyone A method to keep the heart from breaking So tired of sinking yet sick of swimming All of the times it fell apart I left you with pieces of my heart A method to keep the voice from shaking So tired of sinking yet sick of swimming Only saving face To say I'm fine, I'm ok When you answer I will call Not so strong after all All of the times I fell in love And kept it a secret from everyone A method to keep the heart from breaking So tired of sinking yet sick of swimming All of the times it fell apart I left you with pieces of my heart A method to keep the voice from shaking So tired of sinking yet sick of swimming Wading through the day To see our plans fade away And who will catch us when we fall? After all the years I've built up my battlefield One by one you break me down Wait for you forever All of the times I fell in love And kept it a secret from everyone A method to keep the heart from breaking So tired of sinking yet sick of swimming All of the times it fell apart I left you with pieces of my heart A method to keep the voice from shaking So tired of sinking yet sick of swimming

They had you locked in handcuffs They had you pinned against the wall They had your name before you knew that she was gone And when the dawn broke They tore down your door Denied your rights so they could win this Break down your door Break down your door Tunnel vision set this train in motion Tunnel vision set the way You should cooperate You are our missing link This day was built from stupid cops too scared to think And with their tunnel view It should be easy to refute No way our boy could be accused They're meant to keep the peace They will tear you to pieces They're meant to keep the peace They will tear you to pieces Tunnel vision set this train in motion Tunnel vision set the way You're fucked You're stuck You're fucked You're never gonna get out of here You're hosed Case closed Egos don't care about the truth Waiting... You're fucked You're stuck You're fucked You're never gonna get out of here You're hosed Case closed Egos don't care about the truth 15 years gone by Another alibi They shine a light in every corner of our lives A million allies fight A million enemies And the bastard's still running free Waiting, we're not waiting For you to arrive Waiting, we're not waiting For you to decide Waiting, we're not waiting For you to arrive A million people in this world can't break through A million dollars in this world can't break through A thousand lawyers can't break through A thousand facts can't break through Break down Break down Break down these walls of justice Break down Break down Break down these walls of justice Break down Break down Break down these walls of justice Break down Break down Break down these walls of justice

Last Thought 04:55
I want to be your inspiration Be everything I'm not Heaven opens up a window Last thought, last thought Can anyone, anyone see me? Can anyone, anyone save you? And everyone, everyone needs me And everyone, everyone bleeds you In dreams disappearing And saints marching in The sands they are sinking My heart, my heart Can anyone, anyone see me? Can anyone, anyone save you? And everyone, everyone needs me And everyone, everyone bleeds you I want to be your inspiration Be everything I'm not Heaven opens up a window Last thought, last thought
