Brother 02:50
It’s strange like a child from the womb Or maybe Jesus leaving that dark tomb I must learn to walk anew In this absence from you Brother I breathe for you Who else could keep me true? It’s strange like a personal hell I’m feeling like an empty shell And this morning I’m reduced to tears Without you, without you near Brother I breathe for you Who else could keep me true? Brother I breathe for you And I love you and I love you and I love you And I love you and I love you and I love you And I love you and I love you and I love you Brother I breathe for you Who else could keep me true?

Foggy 04:35
With ash in my mouth you tried to shut me up In light of your doubt I acted so tough And I cannot believe my lack of foresight With hands so unsteady, with eyes all alight Please hide your eyes from that which morning brings The march of daylight shows all our shortcomings And I stole more of you than I could bear to take The mirror is so sharp, cut me lay me waste I was foggy and I was greedy and I am sorry for everything I was foggy and I was greedy and I am sorry for everything You should let things happen to you more often, more often Unclench your heavy hands and let your truth soften, let it soften You’re my pretty little blind spot All the things I wish that I forgot

Great Canyon 04:18
Remember when you used to wear me like your favorite purse? I was young and you were younger; it could have been much worse We shared weighty, whispered words like kids in a treehouse Weeding out our lonely thoughts ‘fore they had chance to sprout Now we are the Great Canyon, a great divide indeed The barren rock, a tourist stop, oh what a scenery A muddled mix of wounds we lick and sun-soaked reverie Now we are the Great Canyon, a great divide indeed Remember when I used to hold you like my lucky coin? I was young and you were younger two sides we tried to join The Christmas lights strung in your room lit us up just like the moon We learned to love that vacuum world and sang tender in tune Now we are the Great Canyon, a great divide indeed The barren rock, a tourist stop, oh what a scenery A muddled mix of wounds we lick and sun-soaked reverie Now we are the Great Canyon, a great divide indeed

Lucy 02:40
Lucy can’t you see you’re so very free To tear through the town like a practiced beast You’re made of fire and there’s loving in your teeth I just hope your zeal doesn’t swallow me I’m a candle on your cake Blow me out don’t make me wait I’m a candle on your cake Watch me melt into the lake Lucy can’t you see you’re no good for me You live in my bones like a kind disease Ensnared again by your grapevine words My head a swim, and my vision blurred I’m a candle on your cake Blow me out don’t make me wait I’m a candle on your cake Watch me melt into the lake I’m a candle on your cake I love you loosely I need you to sleep You’re slurring your speech I love you loosely I need you to sleep You’re slurring your speech I’m a candle on your cake Blow me out don’t make me wait I’m a candle on your cake Watch me melt into the lake You’ve got me all to yourself You’ve got me risking my health

Love In Me 02:57
There’s a lot of love in me And in everyone I see There’s a lot of love in me We should show it more clearly And you know, there’s no use in hiding who we are And you know, there’s further to go but we’ve come so far There’s a lot of light in you There’s no doubt in such a truth There’s a lot of light in you And you’re shining brighter than you used to And you know, there’s no use in hiding who we are And you know, there’s further to go but we’ve come so far If we believe in you and me why don’t we fight, my dear? If we don’t run from what we’ve done then we will shed our fear If we believe in you and me why don’t we fight, my dear? If we don’t run from what we’ve done then we will shed our fear There’s a lot of love in me And in everyone I see There’s a lot of love in me We should show it more clearly
