Run 04:47
The clothes you saved, almost threw away Plus the shirts I gave, a blanket you made When the winter hits, we'll wrap up in it To elude the wind, and be close within Stirring up the fire, sitting by my side To give it a shine, nearly makes us blind Then that face occurs, it's a subtle blur When I look at her, in a warm mirror I want this song to be a picture of the two of us No matter how we change throughout the years it's always accurate All the lights are off, all the power is gone Reach your hands out long, and you'll find my arm Dissipate the fear, the sun disappears It's just us here, dark and clear The doubt that's born, the faith you mourn When your heart is torn, by an unknown thorn I don't understand, may never understand But I have a hand I want this song to be a picture of the two of us Regardless of the lyrics the music is always accurate And that face you make, when excitement takes Over your brain, it's a contagious thing
2.
Crest 04:40
The flowers on your brain still glow Interpreting all of the jokes as a new window Moving on from a refuge camp You have a letter addressed to your family but no quarter for the stamp No one is choosing sides During a split like this everyone is childish at times Assuming is unwise A heart is a heart and they're all casualties risking crimes Because it ended doesn't mean that it failed What else can I do for you save share an ale? When you hit the crest overlooking the west Please take my best, and a rest
3.
Optimist 04:58
Please call me an optimist, maybe it's a self-illusion But I find it helpful to have a healthy sense of self-delusion Everyone believes in something Everyone believes in something good Yes I have been thinking straight Yes I have been drinking alcohol “Listening” is not the right word But I think maybe I've heard a call I agree that justice seems to Be conflicting against mercy But I disagree that they could Never live together peacefully Even though it's been refuted Proof still seems a little out of reach Though I would prefer an answer It still feels like something you can't teach
4.
Cure 05:43
Strangely, I feel a real fear of avoiding my demise Not that I want to go, but something makes me cringe at staying around too long Do we really need a cure for death? Do I really want a cure for death? What if I don't get to go to whatever is after this? Can everything I try to be exist on a hard drive for countless centuries? What about after that? And then after that? And after that? Where do I exist in me? In the brain or the heart or some organ that is here so subtly? Nothing more than an equation? Just numbers and a sum that say everything?

Romanticize 05:12
The first chord I played is now there in the past When I play it again, it leaves us just as fast I still look back, I still look back, I still romanticize When I was younger, when I was younger, Before I realized I have friends I don't speak to much anymore I never thought we'd lose that connection from before I wanna blame some fight we had, some just causation But in all likelihood, it's just our new location I still look back, I still look back, I still romanticize When I was younger, when I was younger, Before I realized I still look back, I still look back, I still romanticize When I was younger, when I was younger, And had rose-colored eyes I feel angry when trees continue to grow After death comes by to take someone I know The first thought I had when Tyler Berntsen passed If how 18 years goes too slow and too fast I still look back, I still look back, I still romanticize When I was younger, when I was younger, Before I realized I still look back, I still look back, I still look back a lot At all the times and all the friends who made me what I'm not

Set 06:09
You asked me why I haven't left you yet The way I see you is quite different Though I say I follow many things Look what I've done, my beliefs are my actions My hardened heart, I grow it often myself My tired parts, I grow them often myself I hear a noise, some ethereal, absent voice I don't know who it belongs to You understand, but nothing penetrates The barriers of your emotional state My scattered heart, I grow it often myself My shaking parts, I grow them often myself You asked me why I haven't left you yet Don't you see? We are a set My blooming heart, I grow it often myself My gracious parts, I grow them often myself

Sink 05:53
I saw the inside, I saw it get made Water into wine, lightning into shade Kneeling on the floor, elbows on the bed Trying to connect, hoping to get fed I'm alone but never by myself I'm with God when it's with someone else I still pray but I can never tell, if it works Religion that you found, a deity so cruel The god you speak about, I don't believe in him too You're fighting so long you forgot, the meaning of why you first fired The length of the war doesn't mean, you can't still surrender You can still surrender I'm alone but never by myself I'm with God when it's with someone else I still pray but I can never tell, if it works I'm alone but never by myself I'm with God when it's with someone else I still pray but it's a private hell not hearing back
9.
Tomorrow 02:46
Goodbye, your world might not be here tomorrow I can see the allure of when death looks like a door And the best choice seems to walk through it's frame Selfishness has nothing to do with it when you're sick Goodbye, your world might not be here tomorrow Did Robin Williams decide that he didn't like his life? But that's weird I'm told money and fame make it great On the dim bright side, perhaps his death will provide A conversation that keeps others from his fate And we can breed the help that they need Goodbye, your world might not be here tomorrow

about

This album is for the times while you're in a rocking chair, by a fire, drinking, smoking, praying, reminiscing, hurting, contemplating, focusing, feeling alive, feeling alone, and/or reaping the rewards of solitude.

NON-USA VINYL CUSTOMERS: International shipping costs are 100% ridiculous right now. I'm so sorry for this. We have to charge over $15 for shipping because it costs us that much just for one vinyl record. It's stupid, but we have no control over it. We strongly recommend just getting the digital version instead of paying such terribly high shipping costs. Sorry for the inconvenience.
