I’m a long damn way from the northwest
In a place I don’t belong
I left chasing what was right
Turns out I was wrong
It’s getting harder to admit
I might not ever make it home
I hope you’ll take these songs I wrote
As proof I have grown
Will you even hear them?
You are my reason to come back home

Few and far between
Is always further than it seems
They say it like they mean it but
They don’t know what it means
We told them that we too believe
In many things that can’t be seen
But that never sat well with them
So we agreed to disagree
Often times ignoring signs
When they’ve fallen behind the times
How could they keep up
When nobody does?
Searching for peace of mind
But can’t mind the peace enshrined
They knew the path they must take
Were terrified of what they’d find
We told them that we too were scared
Of Jacob’s Ladder we all climb
It offered them a little peace
Knowing we’d be right behind
Time goes on and on and I can’t shake it
The more I grow
The more I show
I know I’ll end up like you
How can we keep up
When nobody does?

Tooth Of Time

I’ll leave these thoughts between
Me and the mountain, the forest, and I
Cuz the meadows spread rumors
And the river’s telling lies
They led me here
They led me here to die
Do we relive our whole lives when we die?
Cuz I’ve been reliving mine every single night
I heard your voice but you couldn’t hear mine
It’s like we’re existing in a different space in time
May this mountain bring me peace
Under this old growth where I’ll die
May my body be devoured
By animals and fungi
Yelling out to heaven but
Expecting no reply

It wasn’t just a long day
It was a long hard winter and
I’m not sure if it’s ever gonna end
And I wasn’t just breaking down
I was disconnecting
I was fading in and out again
And I’m not sure it’s ever gonna end.
So if it means it only seems real for just a little bit
Then it’s worth bloody noses, headaches, and tremor fits
I can’t keep this up forever
I can’t keep this up much more
It wasn’t just a long year
It was a goddamn lifetime
Of ignoring every warning sign
No one should ever fuck with time
I’ve seen this neighborhood
In the not too distant future and
It was overran with trees and moss
And there was nobody around
So if it means it only seems real for just a little bit
Then it’s worth bloody noses, headaches, and tremor fits
I can’t keep this up forever
I can’t keep this up much more
This psychedelic shimmer of the cold
Is all I can see
Reminds me of your dying season
It should have been me

Suspending consciousness
Wandering time and space
Wondering how many times
It is gonna take
To bring you back to me
Cuz every time it starts the same
But there is always a change
How many times to get it right
To save that love of mine?
Now I’m always trying to fix something
Spent a long time trying to play god
Could’ve learned a thing or two about patience
How to cope and move on
And all those years I was haunted by my past
How long has it been?
I’m moments from collapse
Now here I am not when I am
Trying to hang myself in the attic
Just to see if I had the balls
And the heart not to panic
As I began to lose my nerve I slipped
Felt the noose pull tight before it ripped
And I crashed down onto the floor
Goddamnit there I was standing right above
With a knife in my hand
A revision to my master plan
I don’t think I’ll ever get it right

Ghost Stories
03:35

If you burn all your bridges
You may as well burn your home
You can’t shut everyone out and still
Wonder why you’re all alone
Ignoring all the good things in your life
To play victim to the demons in your mind
Let go
If you make your mind a prison
It doesn’t matter if you leave your home
Sometimes you think you shook it off and then
You feel it deep in your bones
Wrote a letter to yourself in the winter time
To open in the summer once you had the time
To let go
Cuz we’ve all got a ghost story if
We’re all haunted by the past

I’m counting sheep they’re endless
While tossing in this summer heat
Insomniatic introspection
Lying naked, sweaty sheets
I don’t yet see the correlation
But I felt the deja vu
I’ve experienced this all before
It’s different with you
You know me inside out
You know what makes me tick
I’m scared to death of what it means
More scared it’s worth the risk
Drunk, stoned, and dripping sweat
Reposado laced regrets
I’m wandering the neighborhood
Echoing these old laments
I don’t think that I could ever sleep again
But at least I’ll close my eyes
I taught myself to count to high
I’ll count until I die
I wish that I could control the weather
It wouldn’t be so fucking hot anymore
I wish that I could control my racing mind
Then maybe I could sleep forever
Instead of counting sheep
Still counting sheep

Cozy Glow

Cozy glow, why can’t this rain be snow?
At least we could get up and go
Instead of being stuck at home
Walk around and look at Christmas trees
Through windows on our empty snowy street
Instead this rain never seems to end
We’re stuck inside for what feels like weeks
Gloomy June, summer always comes too soon
Then waits to kick in until July
By then this whole states on fire
Stay inside waiting for smoke to expire
By then it’s fall
Patience shows, let the season set the tone
And let your love grow
Don’t let it go
Now as we lay here in the snow
All alone we can feel the most at home
The cozy glow
And all I wanna do
Is spend my time with you outside
If its all that we can do
I guess I’ll pass my time with you inside

Sick Of The City
03:10

I’m getting so sick of the city
I pretend that the highway noise
Behind my house is just the sound
Of the river and I space out
Til the serenity is shattered
By honking horns and sirens
Rubber against asphalt screeching
Then it all comes back to me
It’s getting harder to get lost
Way too easy to be found
The only peace we’ll know
Is when we’re 6 feet underground
Took me a long time to realize
This construction will never end
They’re just gonna keep building
Until it all collapses in
Then they will rebuild it
And they will take their time
Waste our lives in traffic
Rapidly losing our minds
I just got to get out of this town

Cape Disappointment

Are you lonely living out there on the coast?
Brought nothing but your demons and your ghosts
There’s a lighthouse near the pier
It’s been out of use for years
Used to shipwreck every lonely wandering soul
And it took you
I miss you for the wrong reasons
