Track Name: Sleep to Grow
Save me from trying again,
To find paths buried in my hands

Stand tall with straps across your knees,
Mouthfuls of names you used to breathe on me,

Braved heat from sleeping in the snow,
In uniforms we never learn to outgrow,
Flashlights build forests out of hand,
I can't find my way out, I can't find my way back again

Stand tall with straps across your knees,
Mouthfuls of names you used to breathe on me,

Stand tall with straps across your knees,
Mouthfuls of names you used to breathe on me,
Track Name: I Wish You Weren't Like A Dead Lover (Sometimes)
Fake grin in my sleep
Gospels buried in our teeth
Half your life learning, how to grieve

Learned parts on your knees
Everything you hid under sleeves
Unfold yourself in me and take cover
We’re not good people if we only hurt each other

We were not alone, we were far to young all the things we died for
We were not alone, we were far to young all the things we died for

Spend the day underneath
Swarms of kids cracking teeth
Paint on our face begins to suffer
When we live our lives listening under covers

We were not alone, we were far to young all the things we died for
We were not alone, we were far to young all the things we died for

We used to sleep just to grow, just to grow
We used to sleep just to grow, just to grow
Track Name: Bloom
Poured straight down my spine
Running ragged wet and dragged along your eyes
Blown mistakes out in the night
There’s no need to shed your reasons with the light

Your eyes, your eyes bloom in your blood
Your eyes, your eyes bloom in your blood

Stored taped around my side, ruffling feathers with the leather of my pride
Floored, stiffening and tried, rainy wages spent glassy eyed and wild

Your eyes, your eyes bloom in your blood
Your eyes, your eyes bloom in your blood

Your eyes, your eyes bloom in your blood
Your eyes, your eyes bloom in your blood
Your eyes, your eyes bloom in your blood
Track Name: Pink Carnations
We shook out dates and headed for hills
To try and leave the city on stilts
That’s sitting in the drowning fields...
From all the ink lovers spilled

Standing in the seats of stories made for
Scrapes on my knees from clothing I wore
Wrinkling my seams so I can give more
Pretty as can be bark at your door

In leaking sinks run overfilled
By choruses that refuse to thrill
Daydreamy plans we never billed
When we made love sitting still

Standing in the seats of stories made for
Scrapes on my knees from clothing I wore
Wrinkling my seams so I can give more
Pretty as can be bark at your door

We slept on floors and got well read
In living rooms heavy heads
Cleaned our wounds and made our beds
We slept on floors and got well read

Standing in the seats of stories made for
Scrapes on my knees from clothing I wore
Wrinkling my seams so I can give more
Pretty as can be bark at your door
Track Name: Wool Pt. II
Forgiveness is the mastermind,
Behind the years of compromise

And I know there’s no use in lying,
It was all to get to you

I can be the diplomat,
Play make believe,
And promise that,
If silence brings no aftermath,
Then blindness comforts still

And fragile is as fragile does,
As neither moves towards push or shove
And falls back from what could’ve loved
Never to rise again

So I’ll sing you broken lullabies,
Of times I’ve failed before I’ve tried

And I know there’s no use in lying,
It was all to get to you
