Must have changed my mind
Four thousand times
Four thousand and one
Something caught in my line
A pink positive sign
I lost to the tide
But if I could hold her
I swear I would hold her
Till the day that I die
And if I could keep in
All my broken pieces
Well why wouldn’t I
And it’s breaking in
Feel it like a kid
Breathe in
Breathe in
And it’s breaking in
We were only kids
Breathe in
Breathe in
Where something once was
Is now covered in dust
And idle fingers
But you were with me
And had no reason to leave
I stand by that
But if I could hold her
I swear I would hold her
Till the day that I die
But you were with me
And had a reason to leave
I stand by that
And it’s breaking in
Feel it like a kid
Breathe in
Breathe in
And it’s breaking in
We were only kids
Breathe in
Breathe in

Best

My postures gotten worse
Nothing to stand for since I got hurt
But I start to feel the ache
Wondering if I’ll always feel this way
You know I did my best
I hope you did, though you’d probably forget
You’d have to see it to believe
And though you never did,
I hope that you miss me
Too tired to check the time
Wonderful life but I know it’s not mine
I start to pull away
He says he’s exhausted
I feel the same way
You know I did my best
I hope you did though you’d probably forget
You’d have to see it to believe
And though you never did
I hope that you miss me
You know I did my best
I hope you did though you’d probably forget
You’d have to see it to believe
And no, you never did

Easy to Hurt

I came home covered in my blood at sixteen
The person that I thought I knew had darkness I could not see through
He hurt me
Mama told me
“Love is not a broken lip,
love is not all swinging fists
Can’t watch him do what happened to me.
You’re too sweet”
I said I love you mama,
But he doesn’t mean it
He said it but I don’t think that he means it
Trying to convince myself to feel it
Mom, he doesn’t mean it
Called dad from the bedroom floor
Don’t wanna do this anymore
I’m choking
Five years of every part of me
He’s over it in half a week,
I’m broken
Well daddy told me
“Sometimes love is not enough
and sometimes we can love too much
If he wants to, you should let him leave
Set him free”
I said he might still love me
Dad says he doesn’t mean it
He said it but I don’t think that he means it
It’ll only hurt you trying to believe it”
Dad says he doesn’t mean it
Take it from a lonely artist
Write songs for the broken hearted
Why am I so easy to hurt?
I never learn

Seaworm

Look at me, look at me, I am swimming in your oceans
Made me think, made me think, made me think you are the only one
Yeah you’re the last one
There are creatures, hear them breathe
They can walk, yea they can eat
There are secrets underground
Things we haven’t figured out
Could you turn it down a tad, my ears are ringing pretty bad
I can’t stand the thought of silence when I’m with you
Look at me, look at me, I am nine years old and learning
Tripped and fell, tripped and fell, tripped and fell into a dream
There was only me
There are creatures, hear them breathe
They can walk, yea they can eat
There are secrets underground
Things we haven’t figured out
Could you turn it down a tad, my ears are ringing pretty bad
I can’t stand the thought of silence when I’m with you
It’s like every promise that I’ve made is laid out on your lap
It’s like every heart I’ve broken has been pointed on a map
And the ocean breathes like our parents bleed every time we don’t call back
I can’t stand the thought of silence when I’m with you

Old House

There’s a hole in the wall where the cubs come in
They might have been hiding
Or we might have been inviting
I like to think of it that way
Winter knocks once or twice
And the cold comes in
But there was something bout that summer
Where we both started to wonder
If we were going to be okay
They tore down that old house anyway
They tore down that old house anyway
You always said we were two kids dreaming of the sea
Well you were right, we were just children
And the joy that overwhelmed us
Began to slip away
They tore down that old house anyway
They tore down that old house anyway
There’s a hole in your heart where the doubt comes in

Body you’ve worked hard on, I can tell
Oh your body you’ve worked hard on
It suits you well
But theres a picture of a woman in the back of my head
I wanna look like the body you have in your bed
In your bed
Oh my body hurts like hell, with dizzy spells
Oh my body i’ve worked hard on, you could never tell
But when your family asks “what happened to her”
I want the state of my body to make you remember
To make you remember my body
When i look in the mirror and I see me now
I wanna love my body but I don’t know how
I don’t know how
Oh my body
I’m sorry that I don’t love you yet
Can’t love you yet
Can’t love you yet

I say I’m gunna go to Vancouver, say I’ll finally make the drive
I’ve been saying that for four years now, and next year makes it five
I tell you that I’m gunna climb a mountain, in Jasper by the lake
But I waste the whole trip getting high, then get wasted on the plane
Slow your make believe
Bruises on fantasy
You’ll see what you want to see in me
I tell you that I’m really gunna see you and your Gemini in June
But promises made late at night dissolve by afternoon
You always wanna hear another message but I don’t quite understand
I am not an artist I’m just staring at my hands
Slow your make believe
Bruises on fantasy
You’ll see what you want to see in me
Now you say you really gotta leave me, but still let me hold your hand
Cuz you’ll have hope for other girls. I might never love again
So I pack a back for Vancouver and feel sorry for myself
You’re the only one who really saw me and still left for something else
Slow your make believe
Bruises on fantasy
You’ll see what you want to see in me
