Can't get too close, always so far away
Talk over tea, through pressure waves
I let the sound surround my everything
Your voice alone makes me feel whole again
And I can't get out
I can't get out
I can't get out
How do I know I'm alive?
I want more than just to survive
You ask me if I feel alright
Oh, would you look at the time
We're running out, running out, running out, running out
Can't let you go (I need your touch)
You're in my fingerprints (on my skin)
I feel your ghost (I miss it more)
With every motion
And I can't get out
Oh, I can't get out
I can't get out
How do I know I'm alive?
I want more than just to survive
You ask me if I feel alright
Oh, would you look at the time
Oh, oh, oh
I want more
Than running out, running out, running out, running out
Can't get out

Lay down in the Everglades
Wonder if it’s not too late
Oh my goodness you’re acting like you’ve seen a ghost
And it’s not perfect, nothing ever comes close
So I want to be something
That lives inside a shell
All that you came for, all that you came from
Tell me what you’re made of now
Sinking down you’re a penny in a wishing well
Hopeful glimmer glinting in the water’s spell
Go on imagining
A life outside the shell
And all that you want, will be found on the other side of safe
Where you'll learn who you are, it's okay if you're afraid
You’ll be okay, you’ll be alright
Outside of it all, outside of it all
All that you came from
Glimmering in the spell that you're made of
Outside of it all
You’ll be okay
You’ll be alright

I wake up in the morning and I'm laughing at something in my dream
And I know it won't be funny to anyone but me, no one else but me
The white milk-glass chandelier on the rearview mirror of my bed frame driving through the night
And I'm falling through the sky, body made of air and you're calling out my name
The gallery's on the millionth floor and every face I've ever seen before upon the wall
Their eyes, like open doorways, wide awake, I fall inside
I know I'm not sleeping in my bed
I'm wide awake in my body
Hold on, it's overwhelming, wide awake and I know now
Hold on, it's overwhelming, wide awake in my body

Pick up the Pieces

I pick up the pieces
I pick up the pieces
I pick up the pieces
And put them in a jar
When I was a child
I couldn’t explain
In words or in writing
Surrounded by it
I pick up the pieces
And put them in a jar
Take it to the backyard
And feed it to the stars
I know I’m surrounded
By everything
Look around you
You are part of it

Oh, you’re right in front of me
But you’re a stranger to yourself
You don’t know what it’s like to see what’s right
Between your eyes
There’s a million little lights flickering inside
And they go
Out, out, out, out, out
Oh, is that life? It don’t feel right
Where’s the love that you once had?
Is it waiting for you?
Take it as it is
Nothing needs to be fixed
Maybe then you'll understand
What it means to be human
Thought can be curse or cure
Water running through a ditch
You’ve been digging ever since you were
A young child
Digging fingers in the dirt
You found a worm singing
There’s no love for me
I am low and weak
So you raised it to your ear
Where it crawled right in
Feel
It's not real
It's not real
It's not real
It's not real
It's not real
It's not real
It's not real
It's not real
It's not real
It's not real
It's not real
It's not real
It's not real
It's not real
It's not real

Mind breaks and you want to disintegrate
Wallpaper starts to flake and you watch it disintegrate
Nothing can to get through what’s built-up inside you
Food stops making taste and you want to disintegrate
Life doesn’t much make sense does it? Oh show me what’s in the other hand
Starry nights are pretty but that’s just dust on your screen
Take out the knife that slipped in your cereal
The wallpaper wants to take you but you don’t want to go
And you’re freaking out
And you’re freaking out all the people
You’re freaking out always
Shutter out the light
Burn down the altar
Look behind the eyes
The peeling polymer
Take out that old knife
And offer dearly
To live side by side
On your kitchen floor
Mind breaks
And you want to disintegrate
Day seeps into night and the night keeps you awake
And you want it, you want it, you want it, you want it all
And you’re freaking out all the people
You’re freaking out always
And you want to disintegrate
And you want to disintegrate

Hiding in the Dark

What happened? He fooled himself
Drew the short stick and lived it well
Buried his head in the gun
But looky now, he’s the lucky one
Hiding in the dark
Hiding in the dark
Hiding in the dark
Do you hide
So Doctor gives him a new set of teeth
Another man’s jaw with which to speak
Hiding in the dark
Are you hiding in the dark
Are you hiding in the dark
Do you hide
Thought I’d know by now (and you’d have it all)
Clear and figured out (oh we kid ourselves)
(Say it’s good, say we’re bad, not living as we should, listen to yourself)
My, how sorrow speaks (mumbles in my ear)
Where has the day gone (I know that you tried)
Oh what have I done
(But you’re so damn hard on yourself
Say I love you, say I’m sorry
And in this life, you might sleep at night)
At night

Eyes Out

Wake up you’re dreaming, oh where’s your head
At the window, on the streetcar where you left it
Make up a reason for why you have to leave
Take the long way through the park past your old house
Look at the bleeding sky, hold out your hand
Make a chalice with your palms and your fingers
Drink up the life that comes from within
Every creature, every cell in your body
I was under this disguise all day
Hid behind my earrings made of clay
Cradle me and bathe me in the creek
Let me see until my eyes grow weak
Oh wear my eyes out
Lay down your body, sink in the sand
Feel the beauty of the earth while you still can
One day I’ll wake up from this silly dream
and I will miss you
