Edge of Emergency

We're standing on the edge of emergency
Staring at the face of it
Standing on the edge of emergency
Flirting with the face of it
And we have always had it all
We must embrace the crucible
And No one wants to be here when we fall
We’re standing on the edge, ready for the after-glow
Standing on the edge, ready to be overthrown
Standin on the edge of all we know
We're Standing on the edge of emergency
Staring at the face of it
Standing on the edge of emergency
Flirting with the face of it
And we've enchanted half of you
Thought we could phone it in its true
And no-one wants to tell us what to do
There is a thread of ocean within you
In it you'll find solutions to our battle wounds
Sometimes your sighs are cigarettes, & sometimes your tears are gin
Sometimes the sea will carry you straight home again
When we’ve taken our fall we can begin
Standing on the edge, ready for the after-glow
Standing on the edge, ready to be overthrown
Standing on the edge of a a all we know

I'm Still Trying
04:29

I’m up here worrying about my man
Asking stars to appear
I’m up here waiting for answers
For the summer blues to clear
His was a story of war that night
And the silence smothered his speech
Well his wounds came out and knocked the wind out of me
Broke my heart and knocked the wind out of me
And i’m still trying
I swear I’ve been through this once or twice
And i’m still trying
My heart is doing the driving
I’m still trying
I’m telling us all to pray
I’m still trying
I see the light
Im still trying
Til we’re free
We lay down with our heads connected
Watched our bodies decay
We came back reborn and ready to face that glorious day
We saw things in the sky that night that I have no words to explain
Fill our bones with smoke and push out all the pain

Sage Advice
05:07
|

|
So much for my fortune
I’ll gamble with all I’ve been given
I’ll have a new version of pride
When I see you again
See the king rising
All eyes are on spaces between us
And we’ll take back all of that doubt
And we’ll own this town
We’ll take back all of that doubt and bury it
And I’m not afraid to ask you
What would it be liiike not to have to choose
And I will internalize that sage advice
I will subscribe to that ancient sage advice
I’ve only continued
My dollars have all turned to tokens
At least I’ll be able to say I followed my dreams
At least i have people to sing with
You know I’ve been drinking
I’ll try to keep doin what I’m doing less Recklessly
I’ll try to keep doing what I’m doin til you choose for me
And I’m not afraid to ask you
What would it be liiike not to have to choose
And I will internalize that sage advice
I will subscribe to that ancient sage advice

Rocked

Lay it on me
I'm rocked heavy
Pray for me please
I'll be ready
Look at all the times we've had
I don't want to slip away
Want you so bad
I'd start again today
A round or two is left in me
How can there be
a game with so much cheating
when very little's holding up the meaning
I cry peacefully while you lay sleeping
And the rain came down with messages
the rain came down on my restlessness
Force-feeding me my prayer
Mimicking my green eyes and how much they care
A drop or 2 is left in me
how can there be
A game With so much feeling
When I can’t feel a thing til morning's beating
I sit shamefully while you speak clearly

Velvet Coat

When you’re wondering how you keep repeating, deceiving
Ask the man in the velvet coat
He’ll give your words new meaning
Don’t you know that your thoughts are things
It’s a joke, it’s healing
Why keep grumbling about the way
His time is spent on dreaming
Take his medicine with a sense
Of happiness and agency
Won’t you help me help you out
It’s a game, it’s healing
And I should have been worth your time
I should have made you check your pride
We’ll put our stones out on the nights of the full moons
Why do we have to suffer all the time?
And we can’t keep floating above it all
We need that fire to survive
We can’t attempt to destroy it all on our own damn timeline
The fire it will be warm for you
Warm for my baby
The journey will be effortless
I’m enjoying forgiving you
Working hard this evening
Planting seeds for a friend to come
And elevate the ceiling
Don’t you know that your thoughts are things
Its a joke, it’s healing
