Nickels and Dimes

My brain is steaming, your soul is hungry
I take to screaming when you confront me
I cannot handle all of these outcomes
I said I’d handle when the time comes`
Think you could sell me a magic potion?
Something to redirect all this emotion?
I cannot handle all of these outcomes
I said I’d handle when the time comes
You are the muscle demanding payment
All my nickels and dimes
Scattered on pavement
If I just call, you’ll be my refuge
My heart is full but my memory lacks you
Unloved because I stopped searching
Motionless, confused why I’m hurting
You are the muscle demanding payment
All my nickels and dimes
Scattered on pavement
Let this mercy rain on me
Remove this pain from me
I know I’ll be strengthened
But I can’t take this tension

My neighbor’s been watching me
Through the glass doors again
Nothing better to do
Since he lost all his friends
Wonder what he finds compelling
If he can read my mind
Can feel the void in me
I can’t meet his eyes
Loneliness is searing my flesh and my spirit
On a grill in the summer
The whole neighborhood hears it
The distance between our homes
Shrinks and grows every day
I hear shouting through the window
I hear her begging to stay
All the baggage in this place
Can’t hold it all in my hands
Focus projected outward
Still don’t know who I am
Loneliness is searing my flesh and my spirit
On a grill in the summer
The whole neighborhood hears it
I miss you, I breathe in
I wanna go where you’ve been

Tears in my eyes, stare at the terminal floor
I don’t speak the language
I don’t know you anymore
You knew I was struggling
I knew you were bored
Now we push each other’s buttons
Trying to get reinforced
Searched for you at the gate
They said something in Estonian
Back to the hotel for some Nickelodeon
It’s a chore to be with you
Checking baggage at night
But it’s harder to miss you
Staying put out of spite
I pull an all nighter under flickering lights
Couldn’t leave what we built here
You couldn’t miss your flight
The food court’s a swamp
The lights are all dimming
Everything is half frozen
You don’t know what you’re missing
I hope you think about me
On the other end of earth
Where our mileage took you
And how much it’s worth
I pull an all nighter under flickering lights
Couldn’t leave what we built here
You couldn’t miss your flight
When the engine sparked up
And your breathing slowed down
Did you think you’d come back
And join me on the ground?
When the wind rolled in
You shook from side to side
Did your heart stop like mine?

Raindrops

Stay a while
Make me feel strong
Be my triumph
My victory song
Let’s breathe in bright pink raindrops
Sit back and ride clouds to work
Build a pair of leaning towers
admire our handiwork
Look down at the passersby
Throw things down to pass the time
Get drunk on our contentment
Above the power lines
Sit around and lavishly languish
Up above, we learn the birds’ language
Remind ourselves it could all be worse
Endless amounts of sky we can search
Sit around and lavishly languish
Up above, we learn the birds’ language
Spend our days in aimless luxury
Playing tag at eighteen thousand feet
Sit around and lavishly languish
Up above, we learn the birds’ language
Might be selfish, but it can’t be wrong
Be my triumph, be my victory song

The Second Chicago Fire

You’re floating through the perfect dawn
The morning dew blessing the lawns
When you wake up, you run for the hills
Diving off cliffsides just for the thrill
Summer sun warping the pavement
I used to aim light beams through a glass lens
When I was young, burning garden ants
Now I know what it is to feel like them
But somehow I look up turning
And it’s still me doing the burning
You’re floating through the perfect streets
Neighbors getting scorched to the fourth degree
When you emerge from the water you sigh
And witness the wildfire of my life
When I was young, never had to try
Said “When I’m grown, I’ll be alright”
My father is drowning in the sweat from his brow
My sister is melting, no escaping this now
My mother is screaming cause I burned down her house
All our memories ashes, no escaping this now
The mayor berates me for destroying his town
I’ve been exiled from my home, no escaping this now
Now you levitate toward me
Look in your eyes and feel free
Roaring flames reduced to embers
All the smoke clear in November
Each step you take puts the fire out
Maybe we can all escape this now
I can’t shake the suspicion
This isn’t the end, just an intermission

Sunset Hymn

The wind kicked up the sand
I felt it in my hands
We climbed and watched the waves crash
The pink hue of the sky
Enough to make us cry
The lighthouse came to life and flashed
On the beach, a voice so loud
It prayed for thunder clouds
We watched the evening laid to rest
Everything’s in bloom tonight
Such a flawless view, we’re alive
They circled on the shore
A windswept rain dance for
The feelings they could not express
The sky it opened up
The storm came all at once
We smiled as it cleansed us
We shivered in the cold
We prayed with hearts of gold
That our futures could be like this
And I don’t really know
What you’ll do across the globe
This is just one thing that I’ll miss
Everything’s in bloom tonight
Such a flawless view, we’re alive

I remember the clouds never moving
I remember your smile and mine
I remember the sprint through the corn fields
Never lost track of that much time
I remember bittersweet freedom
Feeling lonesome all the time
I remember when I forgot that
I was Yours and You were mine
You and me and our endless laughter
Driving through the Marion night
Didn’t matter what came after
Dancing under the streetlight
I was taken by the howling wind
And I left You on the shelf
Spent years trying to find that closeness
I found You in someone else
Middle of nowhere, stranded by choice
Shedding our old skin, finding our voice
Numbers in sequence, systems and gears
Tend to the machine
And expose all its fears
We left that flat land
Kinder, more wise
When we find what we’ve searched for
Won’t believe our eyes
Sometimes I miss the place
Where everything was backwards
Everything blew my mind
But nothing seemed to matter
Sometimes I miss the place
That burned my heart to ashes
Rebuilt me from the ground up
Gifted me with passion

You transcend time
You soothe and heal
Uphold the skies
You turn the wheel
So why don’t I
Give you what you deserve
Being guided
And still taking wrong turns
My life’s a thing
I’d have to steal
There’s good you bring
That I can’t feel
So why don’t I
Give you what you deserve
Being guided
And still taking wrong turns
I feel your movement of the earth
I feel the lifting of the curse
I know I’m known
I know I’m safe
Wish I could stop
Walking the other way
I’ll give in, you’ll heal me
But I’ll still feel guilty
Awakened from my slumber
You pierce through me like thunder
So much shame, won’t surrender
Though pages say the end is better

I broke my back
Digging for something
That was above me
I didn’t believe
You when You said that
You really loved me
Try again (try again)
Not again (not again)
Through the ground
I could see midnight sky
The stars and the moon
And the glint in Your eye
I broke my back
Digging for something
That was above me
I didn’t believe
You when You said that
You really loved me
Try again (try again)
Not again (not again)

Capo 3 Song

We snuck around corners
To escape from the crowd
We were sitting poolside
Every voice was too loud
Stay up late playing cards
Because the company’s nice
Kindred spirits and hearts
Make for the ugliest fights
Times are changing
And so are we
You’ll always be who I need
I don’t know where I’d be
Without these moments
1 AM in the chapel
All our wounds are open
We’re walking home
And I don’t care
What the future’s holding
I don’t know where I’d be
Without these moments
Play in front of a thousand people
Just like we were hoping
Dorm rooms in the winter
And cars with no A/C
Playing for kids who never cared
You’re still always who I need
Jokes that never have a punch line
Told them since we were thirteen
Taking jobs and starting over
You’re still always who I need
Start a band and stay together
Hope and pray that we’ll succeed
Even if nobody listens
You’re still always who I need

Saint Mary's Road

The neighbors all had gone home
The warm air felt just right
The slow buzz of street lamps
Gave off the purest light
We looked around for strangers
But we only found one
He told us we could have the moon
Or melt beneath the sun
I don’t know
What it all meant
But I know
It was important
I don’t know
What it all meant
Time to go
Invent the present
We drove across the Midwest
Looking for buried bones
We drove across the Midwest
We took Saint Mary’s Road
The summer night rolled off of your red car
I never knew we’d ever get this far
The wind blew across my face
And this taste of heaven
Would never be here again
