Twelve Hours 03:37
Twelve hours on a plane Walk out and nothing changed It’s not how the streets are paved Same state just a different name How long can we be A product of you versus me Looking in the mirror straight An older but familiar face Two hours on a train I wish I could have stayed In those long gone summer days The light is on, but I’m afraid Who will take the blame Doesn’t matter anyway Childhood me, we are the same But one’s left standing in the rain If you ever make it out here Would you burn your hands Helping me help myself drawing pictures in the sand? Twelve hours on a plane Up here I act the same Looking out the window pane Wonder if I’ll ever change Call it by its name When’s the expiration date How much of this can I take How long til the mirror breaks Two hours on a train I wish I could explain The heaviness of summer days The light’s still on, but that’s okay Who will take the blame We gave up anyway Childhood me we’re both ashamed I’d take you in, but it’s too late If you ever made it out here Would you burn your hands Helping me help myself and still not understand?

Gulliver’s bride lays awake on the night before trial Gulliver cries over the ways they could have lived But his hands are tied What is my crime, so severe that I would have to die? Gulliver sighs. What did I get us into this time? I wish we could just leave this dream behind Wake up from this journey without having to die Together we could do it, admit we failed but tried In my life I wouldn’t see it, but now I’ve come to find Distance doesn’t matter if you’re really chained inside Finally I’ve succeeded, found truth but at what price? If I stand before them and they should take my life I hope that it’s just like sleeping I can dream a you and I For all time Gulliver’s bride lays awake on the night before trial Gulliver cries and says whatever it is I did I would better my life

Any Day 00:43
Any day you want to come around I’ll be waiting for you, but I can’t be found Any way you want to come around I’ll be waiting for you, but I’m too proud

Palindrome 03:24
Lung wrapped in skin The outside caught within It swells, but doesn't burst Biting my way back, shine down numb and warm It shrinks, but never chokes Cough up words In reverse Yearn then search Life’s rehearsed Remember words In reverse What came first Life’s rehearsed

Lion 03:00
In my dream a lion weeps Waits for me when I’m asleep In my dream its judgement creeps Wish we’ll never get to meet In my dream I leave before I’m seen Yet it cries, it waits for me In my dream I leave before I’m seen I was found blameless before Me

Truth Is 02:36
Lightning struck, it came to life After playing dead with all its might Sky lit in the dead of night That’s all it took to change its mind I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine We could live on borrowed time When we touched I came to life But when you leave I’ll still be dead inside
