satiate / the hour is hungering / make you wait / inaction's humbling / but there's a way out / there's a way / easy weight / i'm used to carrying / will we get there in time / will we get there in time / it's your turn to stand in line / will we get there / clean the slate / it all needs burying / but there's a way out / there's a way

heard you calling to listen / caught my paper-thin lead / knew you needed to hear yourself / in the grip of your need / don't talk with your head full / chew your thoughts before you spit / don't talk with your head full / you'll cause an existential fit / you'll be responsible / sentences i won't construct / struggle to build themselves / all the thoughts i won't construct / struggling to save themselves / well knock 'em down and drag 'em out / don't let 'em build / it was easy you charmed it / far away from its home / don't say you didn't harm it / by revealing unknowns

it's only worth what i say it's worth / if i say it's worth it / it will be worse if you unearth it all / leave it buried / molecules redisperse until equilibrium / so add 'em up / and pair 'em down / i'm not driving back through town / once the panic has died down / maybe we can turn around / keep your verbs out of your nouns / you'll end up much worse hands down / it was a confident breakdown / i wasn't nervous, simply unsound / it will be worse if you unearth it all / leave it buried / molecules redisperse until equilibrium / so i'll say that / i think we're getting somewhere / these are just facts / of which we're very aware / and you'll say that / your full cognition's elsewhere / stay distracted / to keep from being too scared

asking yourself what's asked of you / is there any less i could possibly do / blinded before you could see it through / understand more than my senses knew / you're my hideaway, different day, getaway car / you're my find a way, cannot stay, i won't go far / if today is like yesterday it won't be hard / to find some way to make us pay for what we are / is the forest big enough for both of us / is the forest big enough

they opened up your chest / so they could see inside you / i really didn't want to see inside you / i don't have much to spare / so no i cannot share with you / i'm very, very selfish / i'm very selfish / and when they shipped you back / i know you didn't feel it / what was left of you had felt enough already / so did they look at you / or did they have more sense than that / i prolly wouldn't bother / i wouldn't want to know / we talked about the water / and how you always liked it there / there weren't a lot of places that you liked / i haven't seen the forest / in far too many years / i'll never see those trees again / although their hearts endear themselves to me / the woods are still inside / one day they'll open up my chest and find it / and i will wait / and you'll be waiting too / we can tie our patience together / and i will wait / and you'll be waiting too / we can wait forever / and if you go without me / i won't forgive you / if you leave me here / and if you go before me / i won't forgive you / please don't leave me here / they opened up your chest / so they could see inside you / i really didn't want to see inside you / i don't have much to spare / so no i cannot share with you / i'm very, very selfish / i'm very selfish

could we go back and wait outside / could we check just this one last time / clawing up through the carpet of pine / i can have yours, but i want mine / you'll spend all the time, all the time lying / to us all and on the ground while we / waste a kind of time not worth spending / all the time, all the time bending / half around to see what you're saying / all the time, all the time staying / safe at home i won't be caught straying / off alone i'll be counting the strength in numbers / if you take me i'll compromise / if i can play my music on the drive / we can unplug and stay alive / cut the afternoon down a couple sizes / and when we get back i'll share it with you / that's probably the least that i could do / and when we get back i'll settle easy / cuz by that time i'll be a whole lot better than now

it seemed much easier the time it rained for days and days and days / we didn't have to go outside for anything / they'd all walk far enough to meet her in a half faint-hearted play / to bring home just enough to make it out ok / i read her notebooks, they were on the bottom shelf / they said today's no good if i can't know tomorrow for myself / and we'll stay quiet for each other / keep each suffer to itself / we'll stay quiet for each other / at least until we're well / too many thoughts to go unassisted / too many feelings that have insisted / well i can play that game / well i can play that game you know / i can play that game / well i can play that game / it seemed much easier the time it didn't rain for days and days / we didn't have to go inside for anything / we drank the beers out of our backpacks, knew they wouldn't be enough / but there was sun from off the water and so much other pretty stuff / that we sorta didn't care / yeah we almost didn't care at all / we sorta didn't care /.yeah we almost didn't care / yeah we sorta didn't care at all / we almost didn't care

put your roots in a desert / pull out what water remains / put your brain in another skull / to find out what it truly contains / lend your teeth to a better chew / wax off the edge of the wane / put your breath in another lung / let the air have what's left of your pain / don't ask any questions / just get in the car / don't ask any questions / you'll make it twice as hard / and if you're holding back from me / i'll tell you what you want to see / trap your captors, set 'em free / unceasingly / and if you're looking back at me / your hands are reaching out to be / held onto though needlessly / i won't agree
