You were judged
to walk in her shoes
over and over
again
Shot right out a motorcade
It’s going to sound like your ears pressed to the wind
It’s just another glass train coming
Round them tracks
again
You were judged
to walk in her shoes
over and over again
Shot right out a motorcade
This building is going to fall down
all around
the roof, the walls, the ceiling
Shot right out a motorcade
It’s going to sound like your ears pressed to the wind
It’s just another glass train coming
You were judged
to walk in her shoes
over and over and over again…

this is a test

There’s a fine line
between you
and what you say
Like tight rope walking
over highways
Now, I’m not one to pry
or draw my eyes to red
stop signs
But I caught my breath and next step
in those yellow lines
If you forget where you come from
You’ll always be at the beginning
If you never take that chance
You’ll always feel like you’re running
I’m not to blind to see
you are adored
But you can’t hold on
to everything that you serve
So, I took out the stops and watched the clocks
moving backward
And I made up my mind this time I’m moving
in circles
If you forget where you come from
You’ll always be at the beginning
If you never take that chance
You’ll always feel like you’re running
If you forget where you come from
You’ll always be at the beginning
If you never take that chance
You might just miss that test
This is a test

bottom of the ocean
04:15

You hit the bottom of the ocean
like a stone
And held there motionless
on the sound
And the currents around you mentioned
That you had failed intentions
And the voice in your head
just kept
Weighing you down
And you keep hitting back
harder and harder
against you and you
you and you
You hit the bottom of the ocean
Just set sail
heading for that horizon
And when the chips were down
you dropped your anchor
And no one’s throwing you a
life preserver
You’re lost in the current
Just treading
Water
And you keep hitting back
harder and harder
against you and you
you and you
You hit the bottom of the ocean
What’s weighing you down
(open your eyes)
You can open your eyes under the water
Open
Your eyes
Under the water

heart is a knife
04:04

It’s such a wonderful way
To disintegrate like a
Shadow
Stoplights in
my head fall
With a sermon of
Heavy shoulders
You found a way to cut ahead
That cold, cold, cold
Weight of receivers
Resigned to task
Of a paper chest
Torn from pages of believers
Took out my best shot
My heart was a knife again
Took on the universe
My heart was a knife again
Well, I drew those
Ambulance sirens
With a deep purple magic marker
Dared the verdicts
Of winding roads with a fading
Polaroid picture
Took out my best shot
My heart was a knife again
Took on the universe
My heart was a knife again
No one’s talking about
The hurricane
Are you settled
With the time you spent
Falling silent
Bound to impossible moments
Throwing caution
Into the wind
Took out my best shot
My heart was a knife again
Took on the universe
My heart was a knife again

three ships
04:17
|

|
You were walking round
With no
Prescription plans
I was feeling like an
Ostrich, my head in the sand
But I had my doubts
There was nothing left
My hands were tied
And bound
But I had my doubts
There was nothing left
Nothing but
The sound
I was shaken
By all those hearts
Breaking/ it was just
All around
I was shaken
By all those hearts
Breaking/ it was just
Like heaven’s sound
Fall into this
Fall into that
Forget all of the rest
But I had my doubts
There was nothing left
had my doubts
But I saw three ships
Sailing
Let me point them out
To you
But had my doubts
Maybe you got me
Are you just feeling that you’re
Getting too close
Is anyone taking notes?
Is anyone

You were standing in line
Like you were in
The middle of a sentence
Numb from what’s from
Behind you
Indifferent to the difference
I’ve taken to praying
to angels
Three times a day
no, I’m not one for
religion
god knows
I’ve lost my way
So you’re here
With a fear
About what
happens next
and when it’s all played back
it feels like
a second guess
And I know that
there are moments
when everyone’s in on the joke
Sometimes you feel lost for breath
like an apple’s got caught
in your throat
I might be under the gun
You might be under the gun
Suitcases packed
But your not checked in
The way that you feel
You feel too much
I’m just trying to get
This string around my chest
I’m just trying to leave you
