CHAOS OF THE SEASON You were throwing up in a parking lot I was looking forward to a cup of coffee You couldn’t imagine going home tonight I couldn’t think of any place I’d rather be You say I need to communicate I think you’re wrong but I would never tell you All of the stages we abbreviate We thought we got out easy but they’re coming back for what is due I just want you to know me I just want you to know me I just want you to know me And I want to know you My mind is spinning faster than the rain can fall My ears still ring from hard hit drumming Maybe there is hope in this after all Maybe if we talk it out we’ll find we’re compatible I know I need to communicate But with the way my ears are ringing and the chaos of the season It’s not been easy to assimilate It’s never been this easy to tell you I just want you to know me I just want you to know I just want you to know me And I want to know you Oh I can’t Always lead you by the hand But I pray, I hope You can somehow learn to stand on your own I just want you to know me I just want you to know I just want you to know me And I want to know you

Shadows 03:19
SHADOWS There are shadows in my room Formless versions of me and you Before we found the light Or was it just last night I was hanging on To the part of you that you were hoping to be gone Before you moved away Before we changed our ways I was hanging on We don’t know who we are In spite of all my failures despite your scars I’ll hold you in my arms I don’t mean no harm and nor do you We don’t know who we are So come on let’s dance Let’s be open about our questions and our confusion Don’t say I love you I might just say it too You help me find the light There are shadows in my room Formless versions of me and you

Stumbling 03:22
What’s the day, what’s the year How the hell are we still here I think I lost my wallet and my keys I forgot who I was I guess it’s just because When there’s nothing constant nothing is believed Show me who i am My heart is a mystery The neon reads vacancy Come and be my friend Otherwise I’ll go outside Meet the morning light Stumbling The truths and the lies That I’ve held all my life Sometimes come to haunt me in the night So please be aware Sometimes I’m not all there Just look me in the eyes and hold on tight I try to be honest and true Say what I mean to you But if I don’t know myself I can’t be any help to you Show me who I am My heart is a mystery The neon reads vacancy Come and be my friend Otherwise I’ll go outside Meet the morning light Stumbling

PRONE TO DOUBT Continually questioning whether I am where I’m supposed to be The few times that I’ve tried to love I’ve found I’m the one who leaves It’s a beautiful thing to go your own way it scares the hell out of me Will providence lay the steps I will take or set me free It’s always been so hard To get back to the start It’s always been easy just to hang on Wait for the next change to come along Maybe next year I’ll have it all figured out As I am now I’m prone to wander, prone to doubt Insecure and unsure uncomfortable with any uncertainty Heel to toe keep your nose out of the potential possibilities Most of the time, the reasons you’ll find aren’t clearly seen Take up your cross don’t count it a loss as your waiting It’s always been so hard To get back to the start It’s always been easy just to hang on Wait for the next change to come along Maybe next year I’ll have it all figured out As I am now I’m prone to wander, prone to doubt Why can’t I just seek my own way out Stop pretending I’m past the hold of doubt The king and his monsters came in my dreams Told me i’m not to fear anything that haunts me Just go to sleep, wake in the morning and find You’re where you’re meant to be

Return 04:06
I miss the way my face felt After the swing of your arm I miss the look you’d give me I knew I’d done wrong I miss the stains on your jeans After you’d swim in our creek I miss the smell of your breath Fresh from your dreams Come back, come back brother Come back, come back to me Come back, come back brother Come back, come back to me The crimson red circled your world Those constellations on your skin And when I looked at your back I knew I was home There was a light in your shadow There was a comfort in knowing You’d be leading on, now you are gone And I guess I could be too Come back, come back brother Come back, come back to me Come back, come back brother Come back, come back to me And I can’t live through you if you leave and don’t return
