We’re so sure it won’t be soon Time teases, midday moon This is all there is Stardust, ashes, summer kiss How many hours in a day? Certain thinning, come what may This is all there is Quiet driving, earth within

3.	going together 03:10	lyrics	buy track
Come on, come on, get out the house Blue train, ordained, headin' south I know we're moving slow Somethin' 'bout it's worth the waiting Tie me up and down, I've lost control No seat, I'll meet an honest role Leave screen in seam, arrive here With all these faces clear and yearning Sharing space, no waste, I trust you all Sliding doors, give me more, the air of Fall We're taught we ought to feel fear But I belong where all these people are near Maybe now, see it 'round: more need than ease What you see, that'll be the consequence of opulence Wheels seem to scream Remembering We go together, strangers tethered Surely this is doomed to fail If we are blamed for bleeding How much to save the rail? Collectively overheating Surely this is doomed to fail If we are blamed for bleeding How much to save the rail? Collectively overheating

5.	it's time 04:42	lyrics	buy track
Lodged in my mind A logic I wove But clinging to myths Won't let us grow Thank god it ends: This story we own (You got it from here) Holding to this broke heart Won't let us grow Thank god it ends: This story we own It's time to let this love Let it all go

7.	river 03:27	lyrics	buy track
Rained all day Tuesday, and the Friday before Spores in my houseplants, growth on my spine As the damp seeps in, I turn to these kin The type that grows in winter And I wonder if you’ll see, the river’s scars as its beauty too The sand was lifted, carried downstream Only left the most obscene rocks from the Byzantine Cutting as it flows, a divine path, the lowest lows Our former shape no longer known I always liked the fastest water But I wonder if you’ll see, the river’s scars as its beauty too It was urgent, get it out, send it down, end the drought A thrashing we weren’t prepared for But smooth on the surface, she asked, “Doesn’t it make sense?” I said, anything to keep from bifurcating And I wonder if you’ll see, the rivers scars as its beauty too Did it make the canyons grand, to sever me from you?

They talk about money Like it would buy you wings God said, that's funny You fly when you sing These notes decay, but each night, I'll say I labored just a little with you They stage a field All on the level Come and be healed Know your blood by its metal Market plays each day, I pray We dismantled a piece of you Good things are free, good things are we I promise you that I won't forget Forget the trees, foggy summer eves I promise you that I won't forget They say we'll grow A better tomorrow No time to feel Today's joy and sorrow Strive or pay, each night I pray I felt it right here with you Take down those trees: Liabilities Colors tease Beauty we can't sell, so Bodies pay, our hearts unchanged I'll sit down and mourn it through Good things are free, good things are we I promise you that I won't forget Forget the trees, foggy summer eves I promise you that I won't forget Forget the trees I promise you that I won't forget
