The Embers

I feel so small, my feet can barely touch the floor on the bus where everybody is tall.
I’ll surrender myself
To the demons that carry them
I’m sorry I lost your cat,
It’s just that I was so mad.
Run and tell everybody that Lætitia is a small fish.
you’re a shark that hates everything.
you’re a shark that eats every fish.
“Fear & Force”
I’ve been hiding in the smallest space
I ‘am dying to go, this is not my home
Freddie, come back.
I know, you love Vermont but I thought I had more time.
Freddie, come back.
I know, you love where you are but I think I change my mind.
You say I will never change my ways
You won’t work for the government that lost your sister.
(We won’t go back. I know, you love where you are but I think I change my mind)

Minneapolis

Holding onto my breath as we ascend on to the twin cities.
I called to talk without wanting to ruin the fun.
It was never the same.
I can’t go back to the place where I once was
Old home, where I was born.
Waking up before everyone
Shuffling around until they all woke up
Making a move but it’s not my own
I need to stay but it won’t be long.

Mal á L'aise

(That’s what I mean)
Eric: “you know my kind of high”
je me souviens bien…
le jour ou nous avons passé sur la montagne.
Nous avons parlé pendant des heures, marcher pendant des heures
J’etais très mal á l’aise.
Je n’etais pas sûr de la direction que je voulais prendre.
Tu m’a assuré
être mal á l’aise pourrait me fait du bien.
J’ai bien compris ce jour-là.
Dans la voiture, nous écoutons la meme musique,
Jour par jour.
Mais, je me demande pourquoi je ne l'aime pas
comme les autres.

100 Years

One hundred years ago, we walked through the aqueduct to find your old home.
We didn’t know it was falling apart.
Father will sit on his favorite couch
With a tv dinner on his lap.
If we sell this house, I won’t go.
If we stick around, they won’t know
Will they know?

Cleaning House
03:17

What about them scares you so much?
My standing there threatens your standing too.
No longer yearn to be gentle, pure, sweet, not intimidating yet sure.
‘If I lived the way you did, I wouldn’t be here today’
You only get to say these words because
We enabled it.
You only get to speak this way because
We once stood for it.
You will raise your voice and talk aloud but once you didn’t have a voice at all.
If you think you’re the only one in this self-made world of yours…
So long
my old friend.
You were only a casualty in my cleaning house again.
You were only a casualty and i’m cleaning up again.

Cold Apartment
03:25

I know it’s my fault
I gave up on everything and I see you happy
It warms my heart.
We said it’s not the end
“she wore that white dress”
so I changed.
We are not the same but I thought you’d wait.
We sit on my cold apartment floor
where we thought we would stay in love.

Alive and A Well

If I were a lonely boy
amidst of how everybody lived before I was this way
I don’t recognize myself, c’est presque deux ans.
Water me down
Take what you need before it runs out
Don’t check in to see if it’s producing again
Until you’re back to collect.
I would change my hair
I’d grow taller
I’d live everywhere that I love
I’d stand strong, my feet will drag on
My odor will linger and it’s something they will long for
I will make a home that is my own
Well if I move around, I know it won’t be for a while.
Hole on the ground
Well (noun): meaning to supply
Take what you need before it runs out
Don’t check in to see if it’s producing
Take what you need and go
Don’t look back and see if the well is producing any more water
Take what you need and go
I don’t have it in me to give everyone everything
Take what you need and go
Don’t look back and see that the well has all dried up
No more water to give.
