Table Crumbs

Write me down
To write me off
Teaching me how to walk
While they’re cutting their legs off
Write this down
And you’ll be hopping over your hands in this old town
I’ve been lesser off
Than when collecting the crumbs off your table cloth

Picking Back Up

This shirt
It rests
On my shoulders
Like the rest
Of these burdens that I
Keep picking back up
Keep picking back up
Keep picking back up
These burdens that I
Keep picking back up
Keep picking back up
Keep picking back up
They say this one’s gunna follow me
One of those stains that never comes clean
Exclaim I am all alone
With open doors and windows
Never walk too far from my phone
You say to let go
Because you love me
And cus of all of these burdens that I
Keep picking back up
Keep picking back up
Keep picking back up
These burdens that I
Keep picking back up
Keep picking back up
Keep picking back up
Never follow
Ever falter
Never carry
More than I can borrow
Ever hollow
Never dying
Caught up in
REM cycle crying
Tie me to this tree
Oh, my siren beckoning
On this earth lovely
As my nails bleed from all of the anxiety
And from all of these burdens that I
Keep picking back up
Keep picking back up
Keep picking back up
These burdens that I
Keep picking back up
Keep picking back up
Keep picking back up

Don't
04:15

I feel you feeling I’m feeling all too much
The Spirit’s touch is realer than we’ve ever known
I hear you’re learning about give and take
But give and take will break your bones if they don’t give
And how did you think this would be?
Did you romanticize everything?
These teeth quit growing some time ago
And the moon’s decay is oh so slow
So let’s grow
So let’s grow

Come Back
05:42

Well, are your feet giving way?
As you’re losing your say
Under the weight of the shame
Thy tempest having its day
You said you knew where we were going
You had me all figured out
You bought yourself a silver platter
And on it spilled your guts out
Now here I am all caught up
Wishing that you could come back
Just know that if you ever want to
You don’t have to be intact
So bring your trouble my way
I won’t even sway
We’ll stare your darkness in the eye
You know where you reside
You thought you found it
Thought you got it
Thought you shot it down
You found yourself a little hole
You’ve got a hole right in the ground
I’ve told you once
I’ll tell you twice
But I won’t tell you again
Why do I always find you going down this road my friend?
So bring your trouble my way
I won’t even sway
We’ll stare your darkness in the eye
You know where you reside

Now I
Now I
Now I
Now I know what it’s like falling
Now I
Now I
Now I
Now I know what it’s like falling
It wasn’t up to me
To say the thing
That I’ve been thinking
Since the beginning
It wasn’t up to me
To say the thing
That I’ve been feeling
Since the beginning
Now I
Now I
Now I
Now I know what it’s like falling
Now I
Now I
Now I
Now I know what it’s like falling
It wasn’t up to me
To say the thing
That I’ve been thinking
Since the beginning
It wasn’t up to me
To say the thing
That I’ve been feeling
Since the beginning
Now I
Now I
Now I
Now I am trusting more than my feelings
They’re always deceiving
Now I
Now I
Now I
Have more than just the past to believe in
Something I’m seeking
Humble and meek and
More than my lover
The God of my fathers
The God of my mothers
The God of my sisters
The God of my brothers
Who knows what I want?
If I don’t know myself?
Who knows what I want?
If I don’t know myself?
If I don’t know myself
Then I’ll have to rest and hope
If I don’t know myself
Then I’ll have to rest and trust

Forgiving Myself
01:08

|
I can mess up this more than you thought
I can mess up this more than you thought
Have I only been forgiving myself?
Have I even been forgiving myself?
Have I only been forgiving myself?
Have I even been forgiving myself?
Well I don't know why I try

Rung Cutters
04:44
|
|||
|
Cutting rungs with your tongue
And you didn't know what you were doing
Standing tall watch us fall
And you'll hardly ever find your fault
Golden leaves up your sleeves
Never really there for your taking
Ideology of a
Generation seeking something
Being degraded, deconstructed
By a group who cannot see
The goodness in asymmetry
Ideals unique to you and your immediate family
I'm drowning
I'm drowning
I'm drowning
I cannot breathe
You cannot breathe
You must release
Give up the game and let the people be
Whispering sweet nothings
In the ears of all your present lovers
Pulpit pews
Dazed confused
Still buried in the soil of your fathers
Nothing new
Somewhat true
Fire caught and burned all of the others
Culture cues
2+2
Riddle that and then go find another
Generation seeking something
Being degraded deconstructed
By a group who cannot see
The goodness in asymmetry
Ideals unique to you and your immediate family
Don't smoke
Don't shout
Don't stand
Don't pout
Don't sing
Don't cry
Don't lift those hands high
Don't hop
Don't skip
Don't say that shit
Don't bail
Don't buy
Don't sin
Don't cry

Time of Day
04:06

I saw you calling
I heard you calling
And I turned my back
I saw you crying
I heard you crying
In a heart attack
Who are you now?
I would love you so much better now
And is that all?
You said it’s all
But is it all?
Thought you were lesser
So much lesser
In that you’d never read that book
Thought I was better
So much better
Than all those filthy crooks
And how have you been?
I’m so sorry for all my sins
Time of day
O Father fall like snow
How often I betray the truths I know
And they say, “When you know you’ll know”
Time of day
O Father fall like snow
And is that all?
You said it’s all
But is that all?
Cus I’m not sure about it at all

With Eyes Shut
05:11
|

|
Well, if your talk is always in your sleep
And you’ve been checking on old friends to see
If they’ve been living the life that you should lead
And if the robots are barring their teeth
I thought I told you that it all falls down?
I thought I told you that it all comes ‘round?
Well are we walking with our eyes shut?
Are we walking with our eyes shut?
Merely walking with our eyes shut?
Only walking
Walking
We all can find someone
It’s ingrained in us
But what of life alone?
Full and heaven spoke
Well I can’t even anymore
Feels like I’m
Dreaming with my eyes shut
Am I dreaming with my eyes shut?
Merely dreaming with my eyes shut?
Only dreaming
Dreaming
To follow full
Lay it down in the public pool
To carry on
And be alarmed
Well are we praying with our eyes shut
Are we praying with our eyes shut
Merely praying with our eyes shut
Only praying
Praying
