Two Wolves
02:52

A constant growling background, I try to keep my head down
Checking on my lists, catching up on what I missed
From future satisfactions delayed by a distraction
I’m online, shopping, dating, just procrastinating
Maybe it’s time to feel jealous again
So look at your friends, look where they’ve been, where have you been?
Maybe it’s time to feel contagious again
So love who you’ve been, stick when you land, help when you can
Which wolf is going to win?
I tend to feed them both
I tend to feed them one at a time
They follow me around town, I try to keep their hunger down
It’s just complicated, I can’t quite satiate them
I feed them when they ask me with foxes found on Broad Street
A carnal celebration, I’m constantly enabling
It’s 8 PM and you’re already in bed, so where are your friends?
Which wolf is going to win?
I tend to feed them both
I tend to feed them one at a time
You try to tame them but they’re alphas
And the pack doesn’t know what to do
They’re looking for direction
But they’re blind to which path to choose
And you know they’re getting hungry
Cause they have their sights set on you
They’re fighting and fighting
Which wolf is going to win?
I tend to feed them both
I tend to feed them one at a time

My Winner

I’ll lift you up when you’ve been heavy, I’ll be rooting for you
When times get tough, I’ll toughen up and don my armor for two
Don’t be a quitter, you're my winner, you’re a star in my eyes
A burning fireball
I’d like to make a toast to you for keeping with the race
It doesn’t matter how you start, where you’ve been or how you place
You just gotta keep moving
It’s a mad-dash, moving fast
People shouting from the sidelines, always feeling like you’re under attack
And when the wall of sound dissipates, it’s me and you
I’ll be whispering: “you've got nothing to lose”
I’ll lift you up when you’ve been heavy, I’ll be rooting for you
When times get tough, I’ll toughen up and don my armor for two
Don’t be a quitter, you're my winner, you’re a star in my eyes
A burning fireball, I’ll keep your flame alight
I’ll lift you up when you’ve been heavy, I’ll be rooting for you
When times get tough, I’ll toughen up and don my armor for two
Don’t be a quitter, you're my winner, you’re a star in my eyes
A burning fireball
I’ll keep the car running
You get ready, don’t spend any time comparing to those people on your phone
They always make it look easy
Draw the curtains, kill the lights, everyone’s just killing time like you
Just keep moving, just keep moving, no we’re never gonna stop
Cause our movements make momentum
And momentum makes the plot
I’ll lift you up when you’ve been heavy, I’ll be rooting for you
When times get tough, I’ll toughen up and don my armor for two
Don’t be a quitter, you're my winner, you’re a star in my eyes
A burning fireball, I’ll keep your flame alight
I’ll lift you up when you’ve been heavy, I’ll be rooting for you
When times get tough, I’ll toughen up and don my armor for two
Don’t be a quitter, you're my winner, you’re a star in my eyes
A burning fireball
Just keep moving, just keep moving, no we’re never gonna stop
Cause our movements make momentum
And momentum makes the plot
I’ll lift you up on my shoulders cause together we can take the world

Cardiac
02:53
|

maybe it's how i talk, maybe it's how i can't complete a story
tracking backwards, twisting words, not making sense
maybe it's how i walk or how i think my skin's imperfect
or how i'm always late, making people wait
maybe i'm too sad, maybe i'm not asking the right questions
i try to stay engaging but i miss the mark
i tend to take things slow, i've found a simmer's better than a boil
they'll burn you either way but one will burn you less
oh, i think i need to step back before the pain turns cardiac
oh, a reevaluation, i like to think i'm patient, but i'm not
sharing stories, grabbing sushi, texting all night, catching movies
playing dress up, feeling flirty, making laughter, getting dirty
whispering secrets, listing regrets, saying too much, it's a weakness
saying goodnight, kissing softly, drive in silence, come home lonely
and go to bed
chain smoking, overthinking, disappointment, sinking feeling
splitting dinner, takeout boxes, see you next time, cut your losses
swiping people, like their products, window shopping economics
saying goodnight, kissing softly, drive in silence, come home lonely
and go to bed

Connect The Dots
03:38
|
|||
Let’s meet up at the diner by the park
Where there’s always a place to sit
Grab a cigarette and coffee, I don’t smoke
But I always wish I did
Because then i’d have a chance
To socialize and bum from my friends
But this isn’t all about that, all respects
I'm just trying to keep my wits
With the end looming near
I could break it down for you, it could take it apart
I could spell it out, I could connect the dots for you
I could draw the line, but it still won’t be enough
A simple conversation that goes down
Like the sinking of a boat
A whisper, then an echo, then a pause
And a clearing of a throat
I said I need to leave
I'm sick of thinking what I could be
But I swear I thought I loved you
Like the sea, I'm just trying to stay afloat
But some leaks can’t be fixed
I could break it down for you, it could take it apart
I could spell it out, I could connect the dots for you
I could draw the line, but it still won’t be enough

Shadows

Well I know that this can't end without you angry at me
And I know you don't understand that this is best for you and me
Don't be a shadow on the wall making giants out of small things
Because the writing on the wall, well it's the story of my...
Lights out, eyes wide open in the dark, the art of acting cool
You and me, our future, it will never be the same, just act casual
Don't be a shadow on the wall making giants out of small things
Because the writing on the wall, well it's the story of my heartbreak
It’s the story of my heartbreak, it’s the story of my...
And I know it's over and over means over because I feel alone even when we're together
And I know you suffer and I hope you better, I wish you the best, I wish you some other
And I know it's over and over means over
Cause I feel alone even when we're together
Don’t be a shadow because every shadow fades away

Grandfather's Paradox
03:05
|

It hit me like the front of a bus
In the car outside before I walk inside, I never liked to dance alone
Because the jealousy comes knocking when i’ve got no hand to hold
So I'll turn on the car and go
Then I'll get a call on the phone
Saying “Where you at? Are you coming back? You know I thought we’d have some fun
This is the seventh time you promised and then ditched us in a month”
The disappointment starts to show
Like a shock to the heart, wake up, feel the current
Flowing through your veins, rising to the surface
The world’s on fire only if you burn it
You can make the change, you can change the course
Hang on, hold tight, I'll be there in a minute
Just keep talking, stay on the line
I'm there for you, I'm on your side
Wait up, slow down, just tell me straight I won’t debate
I'm here to hear you out
I'll be the gravity when you need ground
Like a shock to the heart, wake up, feel the current
Flowing through your veins, rising to the surface
The world’s on fire only if you burn it
You can make the change, you can change the course
If I traveled back in time and if I played the game again
Would my hindsight show me shortcuts or would the cheating do me in?
Because I would not be the person who is singing this today
Life is like an addition problem, summing moves you make
But subtraction sounds so tempting when life’s feeling like a loss
I could take away the complications and return what I have bought
So I'll change the things I loathe about myself, I'll change today
Because I don’t want to be alive if it means I stay the same
Like a shock to the heart, wake up, feel the current
Flowing through your veins, rising to the surface
The world’s on fire only if you burn it
You can make the change, you can change the course

Trigger Finger

Wait a minute, I could’ve sworn i’ve seen your face before
In a magazine, on the TV screen
You’ve been missing since November when you didn’t come home
And your father cried and your mother called the police and put together a team
They thought you were dead but now you’re at the gas station right in front of me
With a bag of ice, blackened eye, standing in line with a man probably six foot three
With a gun by his belt he was talking it up with the clerk
I asked “are you okay?”
And with a tear in your eye, the world just stopped
All at once we had to run
But the bullets went through us not past us but through us
I still can’t believe that we don’t have holes in our chests
Feeling like we had someone
Guarding and watching us, stopping the end for us
Letting us bloom to the flowers that we really are
And when it started I could hear a scream
When he pointed his gun directly at my face, I said “you better step away from her!”
But with an itchy trigger finger, he had different plans to keep her
Then he pulled, yeah he pulled, he shot a bullet right at us
But when I went to check the damage, it was if they had just vanished
And reappeared behind our backs, smoking walls, and shattered glass
And with a tear in your eye the world just stopped
All at once we had to run
But the bullets went through us not past us but through us
I still can’t believe that we don’t have holes in our chests
Feeling like we had someone
But the bullets went through us not past us but through us
I still can’t believe that we don’t have holes in our chests
Guarding and watching us, stopping the end for us
Letting us bloom to the flowers that we really are

Den Of Thieves
03:59
|

In the yard
We’re throwing dice, we’re trying to kill some time
I’ll try my luck if you can break a five
And I’ll ante up
At the bar
I’ll take two whiskeys and a chamomile
I like to sleep but I don’t like to feel
When I’m all alone
“So come back to my place, we got weed here for days”
It’s hard to make sense when the logic’s insane
Cause I is I as you is I - we’re cosmically the same
The haunted gates of the west have cornered me as a guest
And I think I’ve overstayed
The mirror’s black, covered with tape
The sun is down, it’s getting late
Chicago seems too far away
The moon is red we’re underneath
Their fangs our out, our blood is sweet
The den of thieves has come for me
In the car
About a thousand miles away from home
Feeling like 2:21 in Rome
And I’ll fall, fall, fall
Fall apart
I’m held together like a firework
My fuse is lit and I’m about to burst
And I hope I do
“So come back to my place, we got weed here for days”
It’s hard to make sense when the logic’s insane
Cause I is I as you is I - we’re cosmically the same
The haunted gates of the west have cornered me as a guest
And I think I’ve overstayed
The mirror’s black, covered with tape
The sun is down, it’s getting late
Chicago seems too far away
The moon is red we’re underneath
Their fangs our out, our blood is sweet
The den of thieves has come for me
My hands are cold, my eyes are glazed
When I get scared I start to shake
I won’t forget my father said
“Just trust your bones, don’t trust your head”
It’s getting late, they’re on their way
A sacrifice, we cannot stay
Get in the car, just run the reds
And don’t look back
The mirror’s black, covered with tape
The sun is down, it’s getting late
Chicago seems too far away
The moon is red we’re underneath
Their fangs our out, our blood is sweet
The den of thieves has come for me

Better Tomorrow
03:46

You wake up, put your slippers on
Another day, another marathon
Of what you want, it’s a push then pull
Your morning pills from a glass half full
You try to reason, reason with your past life
You put the money on the scale for the last time
A broken promise, you know you gotta sober up
And I’ll be better tomorrow
I’ll be better tomorrow
I’m constantly debating
On how I got inside this cell inside myself
Whose hands do the cuffs go on?
Your nightly pills from a glass half gone
If I fight the prison guard
Emancipate my heart
Cause he’s the devil I know and I’m too scared of the devil I don’t
But I’m thinking of selling my soul so I will be better tomorrow
I’ll be better tomorrow
Release my heart from my mind
