Solid Potential

You said nothing hurts
More than being the worst
When you want it all
And you got it first
And we had called it
Potentially solid
No backwards crawling
To run home
You said nothing hurts
Losing steady ground, sliding backwards
But it might make it worse
Long story short it’s coming afterward
And we had called it
Potentially solid
I’d laugh if it’s funny
But it’s wrong
Potentially solid
I like what we started
Perfectly plotted
Just like we wanted
All along

Lay it on heavier
A thick, opaque layer
Swirl around let it dry
It only takes a little time
I got it in a tube
A shade that’s vibrant and new
A little depth of hue
Cerulean Blue
Shape the tone, manipulate
See how it all relates
Spread around till it’s dry
Only takes a little time
I got it in a tube
A shade that’s vibrant and new
A little depth of hue
Cerulean Blue
I got it in a tube
A little less tried and true
A little unknown to get through
Cerulean Blue
Cerulean Blue

Cracks in the Sidewalk
03:39

As we were
Watching the cracks in the sidewalk
Like the world
Was biding it’s time ‘till we’d fall through ‘em
Chew my words
Hoping this time wouldn’t choke on 'em
Cut my tongue
Little shards, try to spit them out
We’re living so strange within the dark
I’m like you, but I’m stranger than you are
It’s looking so strange within the dark
I’d like you, but I’m stranger than you are
Strangers in the dark
Strangers in the dark
Strangers in the dark
Strangers in the dark
Choosing words
Trapped in the gaps in the concrete
Littler
pieces crushed under our feet
Kick around
The dusted disasters much faster
Than I count
And there’s still so much more out there
We’re living like strangers in the dark
I’d like you, but I’m stranger than you are
Looking like strangers in the dark
I’m like you, but I’m stranger than you are
Strangers in the dark
Strangers in the dark
Strangers in the dark
Strangers in the dark

Oh Philomena
03:30
|

|
I thought I looked like her
On a good day
But I’m not so bad on a bad day
Too wise to see clearer
Started to fade
I haven’t felt this good in ages
Oh Philomena, I am stunned
Oh Philomena, I am stunned
I try to see like her
To read it that way
To live a dream like her, so untamed
Her eyes in the mirror
I started to say
I knew I’d look this good with her smile on my face
Oh Philomena, I am stunned
Oh Philomena, I am stunned
I wish I could be her
No way to defeat her
Oh Philomena, I am stunned
Oh Philomena, I am stunned
Oh Philomena, I am stunned
Oh Philomena, I am stunned

I spare no one
Love like blunt force
I don’t wanna
But I gotta try
To use it right
I don’t wanna
Wander while I
Slice through silence
Got my sights set high
Use it right
The warmest side
I don’t wanna
Love like blunt force
I spare no one
But I gotta try
To use it right
Choose a side

UnReal Love

Another time, another place
Another kick in the face, oh well
Open wide, make a space
Between a brick and it’s place, oh well
And we said oh well
And we stayed so well
And every time, and every place
With every lick on the face, oh well
To open wide and make a space
Between each rock and hard place, oh well
And we said oh well
And we stayed so well
Unreal love
Unreal love
Unreal love
Unreal love
Another time, another place
To see the look on your face, oh well
Hold it tight to leave a trace
Of something meant to remain, oh well
And we said oh well
So we stayed unwell
Unreal love
Unreal love
Unreal love
Unreal love
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well

Sweet as they come
Rip the skin from the bone
Taste the salt that is dripping
From my hands
The time has come
It’s time to run
The time
Has come

Haze and clarity
Smile of the third degree
Trial of the century
How comforting
Haze and clarity
Born in the 80s
Grown in the 90s
Oh what a breeze
Oh what a breeze
Oh what a breeze
Oh what a breeze
Fighting gravity
Get into my
Gravity
Fall into my
Gravity
Get into my
Gravity
