No Light 04:46
What if this cloud has no silver lining? What if this tunnel has no light at the end? Why should so many of my hours be wasted on pining? Why should I be sober ever again? What if I left all my principals up on the shelf? What if I dried up the Great Salt Lake all by myself? And I'd stand at the shore and I'd stick out my tongue And I'd let all the arsenic dust fill every corner of my lungs How do you swim in a lake without water? How do you breathe in a room without air? Can you forage for much in an infinite famine Or will into existence something that's not there? I'm done scraping for sympathy over the phone And seeking excuses to spend nights alone I'll turn fear into air And grief into water I'll wrestle this monster we've made And pick off our rations from it's bones Hope is not a flower, it's a bramble bush My roots will grip the decaying soil My spikes will grow long and deadly Despair will not dull my sharpened edges I will be the shrike's perch The grasshopper's thorax will dry and detoxify on my thorns I will nourish what depends on me I will protect what lives within me And I will pierce the jaw that bites me

Scanlines 01:45
Lost connection Empty bottles on the table Cut the broadcast There's a tourniquet on the cables Hear the rhythmic chirping And hope it doesn't flatline? Can I ever go back again? Can I ever go back again? If the sun's a cathode ray tube Then window blinds are scanlines

Isolation 03:54
I'm gripping on the insides of my pockets more the past month Just so I'd have something I can touch I'm staying strong because I think you need me staying strong now Even if I need you a little bit too much Isolation Some days I see the distance between us both in inches Other days I measure it in miles Most the time I measure by the minutes it would take us To close that awful distance even for a little while Isolation Some days I hear the breeze and all I think about is aspens Some days I see the color blue and only think of blue But most the time these symbols pluck the strings inside my mind That play a solemn melody reminding me of you Isolation Isolation Isolation

Newer 04:01
I've been renewed I've been living out what's in my head the past few days Isolation and the time spend looking inward Transfigures us in frightening and mystifying ways I hope you will recognize me Once I've left my baggage at the door I hope you will recognize me Once you've learned I'm newer than before I'll think of you as my silver lining I'll think of you as my light at the end I'll think of you as my light at the end
