Widow Walk 01:55
It looks like a widow walk An overview for you and I to talk As the spinning Earth sets mountains to block Dip our toes over wooden boards of the dock Well, now I'm jumping and thinking I'm good at pushing up from sinking As a dive digs to a deepening Vertigo flowing-now-rising feeling Aren't you coming
2.
We'll start at the bottom When I turned shaking, crowded rafters into a faint hum As I bury myself in restlessness I'll try and make the best of this As parents watch their daughters and sons They're marching in pairs going one by one What am I doing here Fake along with the crowd and cheer Together, alone To each his and every own Temper a look on my face Pleasant enough to get me away from my place I can make this something else And I turn As I turn around This is where my scattered thoughts are found
3.
You look like you've seen a ghost The one that you love the most With your face painted white Standing in the center lights I look like I've seen a ghost The one that I love the most My face is painted red Staring ahead at you instead It's better than the center lights

Heart 04:53
What a tragedy beheld my soul Angel face, white dress make you glow Smiling, rosy cheeks Looking straight, breaking feet Oh, I'm sold On your lustrous tone With my caterpillar legs Branching the cracks where it bled Split second hellos With my draw extended slow At the sight of you, the look on my face Taken me out of my place Burn out right Stillness is filling The most silent kind Gracefully thrilling Keep you in a heart and frame Promise it'll be the same
5.
Here, see that mercury is rising In glass Simply the sign of realizing Like brass Chiming timeless melodies throughout the yard with Perfect resonance Accelerating as April and May come a chargin' At once The sun is coming fast But be a fool to think it will last The summer will take us in At the sight of children runnin' In open fields With no need to dream Shaking in our sleeves With no need to breathe Here, see that bluebird's song It rings With our fortune and fate that waited on Under wing Fires raging high with us that commemorate That soon The early hours will be up to take its place

Sundown 03:49
Let's go far Accept who we really are Doesn't even mean anything Can't even speak sensibly Let's forget detuned guitars Or talking about supernovas and stars Until sunrise in your eyes Say goodbye to new moons in blue I can dig through distortion It's just a small contortion Sometimes I wish I knew what I was saying Sometimes the meaning comes faded But it's better than that Find I'm surprised Surprised, surprised Sometimes words aren't enough They just don't mean anything Sometimes they're just enough Sometimes they don't make sense They're just dissonance But you do the best It takes care of the rest
8.
Vampire panic's a devil now We can fly under an evening shroud Save your light, sew your stories Streets are burning, lit by lamps and signs Streets are burning, lamps are dying And halos are burning under a quiet asunder My sanity is fading quick Unraveling with a tinge of a sick To a beggar's best, still can't pick A beggar's best doesn't mean they can pick When did I just say Glimpses there flashes forward With that his back torn From a glow in the rounding Daylight spilling out of fountains The Earth's dreams, it's so astounding
9.
I know you've got to be somewhere With your ground game in the air That comes with the autumn dawn And it turns a bad light on That passes through the center I was told it was for the better That it will rise Simple interests are everything It fails my private reckoning Where the crescent fades to anew My thoughts have not forgotten you
10.
Couldn't this be different circumstances Meet each other at small dances Instead of the ones they seem to do Try once again All my flaws are just that There's no attack I swear it's true That's all I remember from them That's all I remember from then And now, disjointed, I'll fade into the dark And dream back to Salt Lake City parks Jumping in and out of shivering skeletons I'll shake them when I see you once again Until then, stay young
