Face to Face
04:05

I am face to face with my childishness
Wearing selfishness as a harness
I want to show you flowers and fill my hours with progress
I want to be a queen, refer to me as your highness.
I'm as greedy as I'm giving
Use my feelings to make a living
I've been tethered to a self-induced tension
Searching for tenderness inside my apprehension.
I am face to face
With a longing to belong to a place
The taste is familiar in an unfamiliar way
I'm chasing a current for reassurance
And I've got so much farther to go
Every second I grow older
And my bed's just getting colder
I'd lend a shoulder to any handsome soldier
Who'd stay the night and give a light to this lonesome stoner
I wanna bury my lies miles below my mattress
And then I'll build me a home out of the ashes.
I am face to face
With a longing to belong to a place
The taste is familiar in an unfamiliar way
I'm chasing a current for reassurance
And I've got so much farther to go

Sunday Morning
02:30
|
|

Something's changed in me
I've resolved my reasons for running far too far
Now I'm sleeping and
I'll wake when I want to, dear
It's Sunday morning
Smoke and alcohol Left my body burning
My mind's a wilting flower that needs pruning
I'll wake when I want to, dear
It's Sunday morning
Leave the world behind
It will keep on turning around forever
Just keep sleeping
And wake when you want to dear
It's Sunday morning.

Never Wanna Leave
03:02
|
|

I can feel the current
pulling me towards the Queen
Towards her open hours
and emerald Green
I know I've arrived
When the soles of my feet
Are kissing golden hills
And sandy streets
I never feel alone
Under the crown of trees
That told me I was home
And never had to leave
Turn out all the lights
A starry night is what I need
A cloud made of flowers on fire
Is all I wanna breathe
Pour some ocean salt
Into my anxiety
I want to feel small and dissolve
Into infinity
Forever I'll float
Along the water's seam
And sing to the coast
I never wanna leave
When you meet her
Now to her majesty
And smile as her sighs
Deliver you peace
Remember she's a home
Her heart has a beat
And if you move slow
You'll never wanna leave

Asleep In Winter
03:23
|
|

I was asleep so long in winter
I held my breath and swallowed all my words
I counted those melancholy mornings
Waiting for those icy winds to turn
I planted a seed where weeds are growing
In shallow earth that's brittle from decay
It's growing, but it won't see the sunlight
'Till those melancholy mornings go away
The sound of the stillness makes me restless
I'm searching for a distant remedy
Good morning, melancholy morning
Just how long until you let me be

Baby Teeth
04:28

Candlelit dinners by a plastic fireplace
The embers they glow and lightly dance across your lovely face
Below the chandelier we talk lightheartedly and embrace
Like an old love song
Our feet they beat upon the street like rubber metronomes
Reminiscing, kissing, like two kids with ice cream cones
But fainting winds replaced the sunny sky above our heads
Just like they all said
What can I do but marinate in the nearness of you?
My heart see-saws, but never will it be the cause
Of our demise, I'm trying so hard to be wise all the time.
Afternoons in yellow Junes are easy 'cause you're there to please me
I wake up and noon, and you'll be here soon
But fainting winds replaced the sunny sky above our head
Just like they all said
What does it mean when grasses that once were green turn to brown?
In the same patch of ground?
I thought that I knew everything about you
but I just couldn't see that the one that I didn't know was me
But I can brush my baby teeth and give you back me smike
And when I hear you coo, I'll make it worth your while.
I can be your babysitter be your baby sister be your mother, too.
