Monikers 03:00
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

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 03:10
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 03:29
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
6.
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 03:51
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 03:26
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
