Frileuse 04:54
lyrics

I fail to recognize a threat Should've known you were the mole Uncompromised by crooked spine A dandelion tailored to the role They sent their best But I'm still wishing that I'd kissed you in the cold With the boldness of the frozen Upon the unimpressed Relentless Vague as thunder In control Reduced by the girl in the gown No use…but dutifully bound Frileuse, you can't let me down You can't let me down Like yesterday's recluse If I beg for you and liar's dice come true Is that going to be enough? No Is this going to be the touch that takes me? I'm still warming up Building blood Making the familiar new Second guessing I'll be sorry tomorrow But I'm taking the fall For a chance to pretend I am safely surrounded When do I get to see you starlit again? I’ve been detached from my embarrassment By the spectacle But no conspirator’s alone Teach me the shame of calling forth your Christian name Frileuse, you're tearing me down I wish that I were man enough to blame you But if you won't be allowed Then why dirty a glass? And why tarnish a vow When you know someday I'll ask To be the skyscraper next to yours And tower one hundred floors The skyscraper next to yours A pillar of remorse Painted black with the proof Nameless and aloof To see you waving back from the roof

Too Little Too Late 03:38
lyrics

So quick to be wise When my luck runs out, we improvise Your heart’s on display But I have nothing to say Too fleeting to see I prefer to paint it all from memory Too restless to pose So I begin with a ghost The only gift I’ve left to give you These promises may not outlive you A little early to say A little early to take down all the evidence I’m no stranger to the sentiment wasted Playing dead is no defense No defense Too little too late We heard the world wake I felt you tremble After the earthquake No one can tell you Which way the bone breaks Until it’s too late Begin with my ghost And bleed it ’til the curtains close On all that awaits I just stood there stammering at fate Too little too late We heard the world wake I felt you tremble After the earthquake No one can tell you Which way the bone breaks Until it’s too late The only gift I’ve left to give you These promises may not outlive you A little early to say

Sandbox Tandem 04:58
lyrics

A sign of the times This pale inquisition Feeding the fire Finding a way to start again If I let you in on a few of my secrets We could be fireside before the streets get cold I’m falling apart the second the door locks I noticed you there at the edge of the sandbox The sun in your eyes Of course you came And sidled up to stake your claim My child bride A passing phantom The autumn binds our hearts in tandem Like we’re just a part of this innocuous regime I’m falling apart the second the door locks For another mirage at the edge of the sandbox The haze in my eyes We drew the line That’s not to say it hasn’t crossed my mind When I let you in And we had no secrets Feeding the fire You brought out the best in me But it wasn’t enough Where was I when the veil was lifted from your dreams? I’m falling apart the second the door locks You were another mirage at the edge of the sandbox The haze in my eyes I’m now resigned to say you never cross my mind Good luck Good bye

Republic 05:26
lyrics

It's worn as a badge My display all for naught Mulling us over and up to the top Act overwrought by the underexposed A mistake if you wake, a disgrace if I'm caught When the world stands beside you with trembling toes The world stands beside you and whispers I fall in behind you A brief intermission To suck you beneath The most I'd expect for inviting a thief To the edge of relief, just beyond your dissent No chance to prevent it, but since I've invented A way in the waiting, a stake in the jest A vapid conspiring to wish for the best And to the republic, a border I deny For the republic, an epithet I'm now inscribing Like the republic, whose captors I've obliged And through the republic, my lust for life is now subsiding In the eyes of those who love you Overgrown and underground Still looking elsewhere when it's found Still looking back once you've been trapped Pay no regard to where they take you Something drastic overdue Understated, twice as true All the gunsmoke of your ruse Can't overtake that bitter breakthrough Echo of a sigh Yeah, reflection of a bigger town Our time is up, we're only stalling Ghost revokes to steer the coup But my allegiance dies with you I lied, I don't know what to do Avert the eyes that always loved you I've fallen beside you I draw you too close I've fallen beside you I draw you too close I'm falling beside you I'm falling beside you I'll know just what to say If you tell me what to do I've fallen beside you I draw you too close I've fallen beside you I've fallen beside you I'm falling
