Welcome to Summer Days
04:09

I heard, "welcome to a summer day
I hope you make it count I hope you like it.
There's a thousand ways to live
And there's a thousand ways to die
I hope you try it."
Yesterday's gone
But don't forget
'Cause you can learn from pain and bitterness
And the people that you hurt
I hope you do it
Soon they'll all be distant memories
Anecdotes to tell your kids
Before you knew it
The sorrow brought you here
To these arms
They should hate you for the things you did
Your ugly little past but they've all got one
You're not so different after all
The tears and time spent crying out to no one
And yesterday's gone
So greet your future
She says, "Welcome to a summer day,
You'll never make it count
And you can't stand it.
Though your heart is full of life
You see a future packed with death
But you still try it.
But there will be time
For tears in the future."

Every Time You Speak
03:48
|

I know God is real.
I hear him every time you speak.

Harbinger
03:55
|
|||
God told me you're a harbinger of misery.
That might explain why I can't tear myself away.

Split Ends
02:50
|

It's the black around your eyes.
It's the veins that run your arms.
It's the bones your wrists and the shine in your lips and the split ends in your hair
That you pick at
'Cause I'm boring you to death
And the way our breaths align
And your body against mine
And the sound of your voice and the things that you say and the eyeballs that you roll
When I speak
Is this worth having if it can't last?
Yes; we'll cross that bridge when it arrives.
It's the black around your eyes.
It's the veins that run your arms.
It's the bones in your wrists and the shine in your lips and the split ends in your hair.

Blue Mattress
02:07
|
|||
Hips white and soft
Cut from linen cloth
You're the mother of all to love
Your touch is electric
Your voice makes me hectic
And my hands should be poison to you
When you pull me close
I swear I can almost hear
The blue ocean's roar
And I'd take your eyes out
And then I would mount them up
For their light
On a mattress of blue
Love has cut right through me again

I Am a Painful Memory
03:24
|
|||
All I'm destined to be is a painful memory.
Long live the walls we crashed through,
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you.
I was screaming long live the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day
We will be remembered

Savior
05:01
|
|||
I'm one day closer
To the day
When you'll leave me
How does someone live
With the knowledge
That their livelihood
Always goes away?
I'm not taking it too well,
And I'm sure you've noticed.
And I can't make you stay.
It never worked before.
'Cause you're a human being
And superhuman you may seem,
You can only do so much.
I can't expect you to be my savior;
I know the cost,
And I wouldn't put anyone through that...
But least of all you.
And I'll see you in the next life.
