dead to me 02:00
when i went away i wondered if you missed me back at home did you think about me in our old spot by the school and on a bright day i could swear i could see you in the distance far away now you're dead to me and i'm dead since i've been gone and i don't think i need a name anymore i don't think i need a savior and i think that in a town like this people only know who you were i think so, but i'm not sure and there's a big house somewhere i can't say exactly and they treat me well and we all do our share i think i wanna be a part of something i think you'd understand if you were here and i don't think i need a name anymore i don't think i need a savior and i think that the burning sky's the sign i'm looking for i think so, but i'm not sure i think so, but i'm not sure anymore

crater 02:18
i stood at the top of the ruins i threw rocks into the distance houses curled around the dark between and there's a light on back in town there's a phone a few miles down and i can see it all (oh and) in dreams i see it as it used to be (it used to be) valleys stretching farther than the firelight can reach (the light can reach) and in dreams i see it as it used to be mountains rising taller than the water it's all dazzling beneath the many hills and halls and meteors that leave us where we stand alone, these pillars fall, these frantic colors that i see in dreams, i see it as it used to be (it used to be) in dreams, i see it as it used to be (it used to be) a crater swallowed by an ancient sea (it used to be) a house is witness to so many things i stood at the top of the ruins i threw rocks into the distance

the lake 02:51
holding my own hand, being my own friend picking up all the pieces again i'm not very good at a lot of things we'd meet at the tunnel, sit in the shade and listen to cars up there echoing sometimes i think, sometimes i think i never left every year the lake gets lower we find things below the water counting towns and space between here the heat gets to everything and it burns my hands, burns my feet i still want something to believe and every year the lake gets lower we find things below the water i can see the stones, all weathered you're so smart, you don't know better? and i still believe in signs there's a hole in the mountain and a hole in time and i look out to the water some things never come out right

flowers 01:14
mornings like holidays wake up late and think i'm safe at last all the letters are unopened keep the lights on in the corners i get scared when i hear noises when the phone rings now sometimes it's flowers somewhere i don't live sometimes it's worse, and sometimes it is what it is when the sun comes up will i be asleep when the sun comes up will there be anything sometimes there isn't sometimes it is what it is sometimes there isn't sometimes it is what it is
