Two People

I am two people wrapped in one
A calculated honey and a single smoking gun
I carry half of all that you bear
And I live inside a house that we've built and that we share
I try to recombine myself so I'm not torn apart
So I can see a future with a single beating heart
But I get in trouble because you make me leave
A part of me outside the door I don't have time to feed
So please
Leave room for us to breathe
I have two visions in my mind
In one I roam round' England
In the other I am tied
To a ring around my finger that keeps me firmly on the ground
To a life my thoughts get lost in never to be found
But in the other I am lonely and have killed you once again
I'll have freedom
I'll have silence
But I'll lose my only friend
So please
Leave room for me to breathe
And I know I'm young and I'm naive
But I'm standing on the edge
Please

Don't Move
03:56
|

Blankets and beds
I'm still for you
Hypnotized by a headlight
Your headlight
And I don't move
And I can't move
A well lit collision
You take blood and bone
As a condition for soft lighted love
And I don't move
And I can't move
Now in beds I run
My hands critique
Hypnotized by a lack of love
And I don't move
And I can't move
And I won't move

Better Now

Lonely sleeps with me
I kiss it in the morning
It follows
A shadow
And she was blind to me
She followed
She ran from
Her shadow
And he caught a glimpse of me
But I know he's with another
I followed
Until I was cold
I gave you everything
It sits inside you
It's locked inside you
But you don't want it anymore
Because you don't see me anymore
And so few care to see
But I am better now that you don't love me
Love me

Numbers

Hard to leave a maybe lover
Hard to see anything but you
A quick vacation in the winter left me looking at the mountains
Seeing your ghost in the mountains wondering when
You'd see me again
When the snow is gone in August
Or if you pay the Spanish plaines
My hair will tangle like you promised from sleeping beside you
Your hands in my hair beside you
But until then
I'll see you in numbers my friend
And maybe if we shared a country
I'd make me coffee, make you tea
We'd watch the sun rise over Iceland
And I wouldn't have to cry when you'd leave
So I'll sit in your silence
But I won't wait for you
I'll see you in numbers
Because you're good at straightening them
And I'll kiss you when the snow falls again
I'll see you in numbers my friend

Light
03:42

I, in my mind have a voice that tells me
the eyes that see mine will glaze and roll away
And I, in my mind have a voice that tells me
quiet down girl
you're louder than life
And I see the way that my eyes can darken
blacker in the night
And I feel my body cave in in places
starving for the sight
A view of a road clear and straight
Where the sun can reach my skin
and I'm afraid when I leave that light will fade
Because I feel connected through silvery wires
to your voice in the night
And I feel a hunger for your eyes upon me
The way you look at me like I am
Light
So bottle the bright
that glows orange in the night
I'll keep it close to my heart boy
And I will remember this city
the way that you showed me the
orange in the night and how I
Shine
