The Halifax Monologue
She fell down on the fence
Clear of love or defense
I caught her halfway down
And I won't let her go now
Lived right upon my street
Lightened above the upbeat
I saw her fade a while back
Said the skies here we turning black
I'm an abandoned ship and she's my anchor
I'd sink without her strength
As far as I breathe I'm all hers
The Halifax monologue I wrote
It's all from here
I always wondered how
She got up from the ground
After such a terrible start
It would just tear me apart
Halifax has stood up
I...
Clear of love or defense
I caught her halfway down
And I won't let her go now
Lived right upon my street
Lightened above the upbeat
I saw her fade a while back
Said the skies here we turning black
I'm an abandoned ship and she's my anchor
I'd sink without her strength
As far as I breathe I'm all hers
The Halifax monologue I wrote
It's all from here
I always wondered how
She got up from the ground
After such a terrible start
It would just tear me apart
Halifax has stood up

Mixed Drinks And Tears
I'd comfort you, but religion's made of glass
Got stuck way downside up
I converge into a mellow quicksand
Signed upon the burning of a bridge
No profound rhymes or rhythms
Just mixed drinks and tears from all the bottom years
I've seen my reflection write what's from above
I'll just go and find my own darkish throne
It's crazy to think I'm still alive
I'm not supposed to be here
All your words are like tumors
But the sound is so benign
Crosses are upside down
Collarbone snaps like a twig
I have tried more than a cheating...
Got stuck way downside up
I converge into a mellow quicksand
Signed upon the burning of a bridge
No profound rhymes or rhythms
Just mixed drinks and tears from all the bottom years
I've seen my reflection write what's from above
I'll just go and find my own darkish throne
It's crazy to think I'm still alive
I'm not supposed to be here
All your words are like tumors
But the sound is so benign
Crosses are upside down
Collarbone snaps like a twig
I have tried more than a cheating...

Someone Better
I found someone better than me
Could be anyone but I'm happy it's you
Never thought I'd believe love is true
And even if it did, it wouldn't be for me
So many people spinning northless
I've finally learned why I'm here
To prevent the world from taking you away
Who wants to be found can't be lost
And whoever's lost will find a way
If there was a right word for everything
I wouldn't have to write so much
It scares me to know I could lose myself
But it scares me more to know I might lose you
It'd be a nice day to let yourself fall again...
Could be anyone but I'm happy it's you
Never thought I'd believe love is true
And even if it did, it wouldn't be for me
So many people spinning northless
I've finally learned why I'm here
To prevent the world from taking you away
Who wants to be found can't be lost
And whoever's lost will find a way
If there was a right word for everything
I wouldn't have to write so much
It scares me to know I could lose myself
But it scares me more to know I might lose you
It'd be a nice day to let yourself fall again...

The Sun's Getting Older
With every lie you set off a storm
And sadness crowds my blood relentlessly
The truth hides behind a drop of gold
There is no reason to mourn, is there?
Retreat your brow and let it hold you
And drop you off
And I know I'll be yours, when you're mine
And I know that I won't be fine
And I know the sun is getting colder
And I know we're getting older
What if you stay here and forget home?
And I wrote a letter for no one and everyone
The fire's slowly burning out on us
What does it take to make you feel scared?
Things won't be ok,...
And sadness crowds my blood relentlessly
The truth hides behind a drop of gold
There is no reason to mourn, is there?
Retreat your brow and let it hold you
And drop you off
And I know I'll be yours, when you're mine
And I know that I won't be fine
And I know the sun is getting colder
And I know we're getting older
What if you stay here and forget home?
And I wrote a letter for no one and everyone
The fire's slowly burning out on us
What does it take to make you feel scared?
Things won't be ok,...

Maw Of Darkness
I try to imagine what's going on inside his head and I get a headache.
And I'm probably going crazy, I wake up wanting to die
Most days I wake up into the maw of darkness
And sometimes I just wake up in plain light
She wants me there but we both know I can't, not yet
I look at the starlights, but they don't seem to shine anymore
And I'm probably going crazy, I wake up wanting to live
Most nights I try to sleep deep in the maw of darkness
And sometimes I just don't sleep at all
If you leave me we both know how this is gonna end, not yet
I feel...
And I'm probably going crazy, I wake up wanting to die
Most days I wake up into the maw of darkness
And sometimes I just wake up in plain light

Tenderness
(These lyrics are about dealing with a lover's weight. There's no lover free of burden, right?)
I guess that I've tried
To avoid the mess we've made
If I jump, would you care?
Or would you stare as this mess we've made?
How could I cure such a cut?
How could I patch such a void...in your heart?
It doesn't matter how deep is the wound
I'll keep trying to not fall apart
I got a thirst that no kiss could satisfy
You've probably lived more than I have.
You've been through too much
And yeah, you still deserve love
You...

Ellie's Song
I spent most nights writing about meeting you
But now I only write about how I will never miss you
We had a lovely fake time together
It would've been nicer to know it was a game since the start
Not a playground where I just sit on
And you promised you loved me
And I believed every single word
Silence will always cross my mind
Like it does when I'm stuck inside my bed
You're hardly ever here and you're easily anywhere you shouldn't be
Your pillow could taste sweeter if you hadn't made me bitter as yourself
Now I'm hardly ever alive and...
But now I only write about how I will never miss you

Silence will always cross my mind

All The Way To The Northern End
Floating all the way to the northern end
With enough strength to break a bream
I'm concerned I might just hit a wall
And the logic became another one
One of the many alone
It's just a jagged, crooked stone
Rolling through the breaking bone
And you think you're all alone
But the truth is you're just a shame
Blessing her small southern clocks
With foam enough to fill a whole room
The alcohol flows and so do we
Then we just became particles
We didn't fully split apart
It's just a jagged, crooked stone
Rolling...
With enough strength to break a bream
I'm concerned I might just hit a wall
And the logic became another one
One of the many alone
It's just a jagged, crooked stone
Rolling through the breaking bone
And you think you're all alone
But the truth is you're just a shame
Blessing her small southern clocks
With foam enough to fill a whole room
The alcohol flows and so do we
Then we just became particles
We didn't fully split apart
It's just a jagged, crooked stone

Bittersweet Love
It's not easy to love you
And trying is never enough for you
Every dirty word means truth
Every little stain is a lie
It's always easy to escape
And sometimes there's no escape
Every day I wish you'd go
Every day I watch you go
The devil inside our souls
Swallow all the pain and winter
The tears mean nothing now
I need you to feel alone and bitter
It's not hard to fuck it up
And it's really common to fuck it up
Every scream is silence
Every sigh is a shout, aloud
And all the sad songs you can sing...
And trying is never enough for you
Every dirty word means truth
Every little stain is a lie
It's always easy to escape
And sometimes there's no escape
Every day I wish you'd go
Every day I watch you go
The devil inside our souls
Swallow all the pain and winter
The tears mean nothing now
I need you to feel alone and bitter
It's not hard to fuck it up
And it's really common to fuck it up
Every scream is silence
Every sigh is a shout, aloud
And all the sad songs you can sing...

Northern Star/Southern Cross
North, I'm heading on to another adventure
And in time I think I'll be sure
There's hope, but I'm still afraid to lose passion
It's different when you fall in love with the falling vase
If I knew where you're going, I'd go that way too
But not even you are sure of where the southern cross is displayed
Well, I'll keep on looking until I find a sign
That reassures my sight, I'm lost and found
East, I'm directing my arrow with delay
And I'll make sure I don't stray
But it wasn't you who was undeterred
It's a whole new story when the law loves...
And in time I think I'll be sure
There's hope, but I'm still afraid to lose passion
It's different when you fall in love with the falling vase
If I knew where you're going, I'd go that way too
But not even you are sure of where the southern cross is displayed
Well, I'll keep on looking until I find a sign
That reassures my sight, I'm lost and found
East, I'm directing my arrow with delay
And I'll make sure I don't stray
But it wasn't you who was undeterred
It's a whole new story when the law loves...

For You I Sing (Light Up Ahead)
You've made tonight unbearable. That's what you always do.
You look out the window but its not the moon you're looking for.
If you were at the very end of the street
I'd probably say: light up ahead...
Ahead of this long two year old road.
And if it's not me you choose...I wont be upset, cause it's just a bet I've lost.
Yeah, I'm stubborn and weird, but isn't that what you loved me for?
Time isn't such a big problem when its distance we're discussing.
We all long to be loved by who we love and this may not be the case.
We change, we're strange...
You look out the window but its not the moon you're looking for.

October
Birthstone, delayed tourmaline
Yellow, internecine warfare
Another clueless mind
Hope one tear away
October, contrary
Remarkable clockwork
I'd rather create with my heart than with my head
I'd rather create with you
Collarbone, unseen mezzanine
Stormy, cold in a flare
Lusting truly blind
Left me again, I stray
And the discontent in your life
Comes from whoever filled your heart
And let it bleed out on its own
She's October's honey sunlight work of art
She's October's honey sunlight work of art
October,...
Yellow, internecine warfare
Another clueless mind
Hope one tear away
October, contrary
Remarkable clockwork
I'd rather create with my heart than with my head
I'd rather create with you
Collarbone, unseen mezzanine
Stormy, cold in a flare
Lusting truly blind
Left me again, I stray
And the discontent in your life
Comes from whoever filled your heart
And let it bleed out on its own
She's October's honey sunlight work of art
She's October's honey sunlight work of art
