Romy
Can you show me
How to stop the clock from turning?
When I came to you
I was a bull through a chute
But you slowed me, you slowed me
Stoney
Did you know me
From the moment I showed up so lonely?
That name they gave to you
It’s a trope but it’s true
Smoke is blowing, it’s blowing
You’ll never surrender to time
Float like a ghost through the night
You’ll never surrender to time
With those red lines in your eyes
Bony
The pattern’s holding
It’s a day on a loop you keep rolling
But you’ll always improve
Goddamn I’m rooting for you
So get going, get going
You’ll never surrender to time
Going for broke every night
You’ll never surrender to time
I know you’ll grow like a vine

Closer to No One

I heard the the pattern in the southern rain
It matched the cadence of your second name
Their faces all start to look the same
You’re moving closer to no one, you’re closer to no one
You’re politicking with the local fools
And smoking darts like you got something to prove
Ya feelin' younger in your mothers shoes
They lead you closer to no one you’re closer to no one
I was scanning the patterns
I was reading the literature
I was spent
I left the cellar in the light of day
You're fingerpickin' what you cannot say
I could never learn to play that way
You’re feeling closer to no one, you’re closer to no one
You headed west to a box-shaped state
Trying old drugs in a different way
The palpitations give you rhythm to blame
You're staying closer to no one, you’re closer to no one
I could leave a number if you say you won’t call
'Cause I might be the reason that you suffer at all
Just another line of interest when they call in your debts
Another prior tenant at your current address
You can lead me like a dove in the fall
In March’s vegetation like you knew all along
A buried winter bone who took the spring out your step
Or an unrequited lover when they write up your death

Plume

I was swinging through the doom
That was starting to bloom
I went up in a plume and
Disappeared from the room
I shuffled the events
I Just had to catch my breath
They said, It’s a loaded question
But how heavy is your head?
And oh don’t I know you?
Picking me up from the haze
And oh don’t I know you?
Telling me this is the way
Probably heard it now a thousand times
And I always read between the lines
But for once, I think I’m fine, you’re right
It’s tough being lazy
In the days of beer and daisies
No match for the safety
Who just won’t let me leave
But that’s what I thought at first
Unquenchable thirst
‘Til you told me my direction was
Reverse, reverse, reverse

Too Much
03:03

I faked it, I faked it since the day you were gone
How to calm that sense of dread when everything seems wrong
I sat down, learned all your favorite songs
Black Peter seemed a fitting end, your friends came around
You were gone
It was the second in a month
You broke it soft like you always do, I saw that you were broken too
You left town, I forget what side you were on
"For Meg" on repeat in my room, the static pulls me back to you
We sat at the kitchen table where I learned how to mourn
And stared at a cup of coffee, it's been hours since it's been warm
I can't explain but I found comfort in your silence - what else could I do
But hang on to that feeling that you would give
I put too much of my loss on you

Grip

Radio in the rain
Help me navigate
What's dripping down the drain
And what's swimming for its life
When the streets are dry
Become my live wire
Burn my bad dreams in the fire
Chase the smoke into the sky
And don't loosen your grip
I was just getting used to it
Gimme fistfuls of flowers
Sunlight tastes so sour
Plug me into the power
Of your celebratory scream
And if I'm blinded by the dark
I'll cup my hands 'round the spark
Feel you knocking at my heart
It's a special delivery
If I ever said something true
It's only because I heard it first from you

We're in the Back Room

You're a grave digger sipping at the bottles they left
You try to tap into a feeling that missed you
He's the last one writing back to letters you sent
It's kind of funny, you see that he cares
I've got it on faith you're playing it safe
Another year, another prayer
I'm calling in sick, you're calling it quits
Spend the day just blowing smoke in the air
It's been a week, I can see it on your face
(So come out)
We'll talk about the ones who never got away
(So come out)
It's getting tired but you've always been awake
(So come out)
I wanna know what keeps you here
You're a saints liver rotten in the marble and flesh
A cold tonic that your soul isn't used to
He's the last one pleading for your body to rest
It's getting tired, you're almost there
I'm numb in the lips, your cure is timeless
Saw the sun, you made it run
You're swallowing it, no ulcer no sin
Architects are singing 'we don't care'
How you feeling cause I'm dying to know
Grab the keys, yeah I'm ready to go
Keg or Palace, fuck it I don't care
It was always enough that you were always there
I'll stick around

Oh I So

Is that asteroid getting smaller
Or just further from my mind?
Is everybody getting taller
Or are we just short on time?
The door swings open,
I hope you’re here to rescue me
To take me backwards in your
Homemade time machine
Oh I so, oh I so
Miss the sound
Of you just being around
But when you go, when you go
I hear the crowd
They’ll never let your name
touch the ground
Little rumbles on my pillow
Every morning, every night
And I still see you in the window
Watching the world outside go by
The door swings open
I’m holding tight as I can
To every moment so they don’t
slip through like sand
Nothing, nothing
Nothing gets to stay
Nothing, nothing
Nothing has to change

Last One

If we leave the record playing
The party never has to end
A forever-spinning circle
You and me and all our friends
But if you really end up staying
How will you leave us wanting more?
Eye the door over my shoulder
You were calling it the last one
You were calling it the last one
If I could just steal a moment
For everyone moment’s passed us by
Grab your face and scream “I love you”
Never have to say goodnight
But if I’m dizzy from the daydream
And my ceiling is your floor
Maybe circles just mean closure
