Moths 04:38
Taking in the low light This party made me so shy You asked me if I’m alright I answer with a half nod I wonder if you’re sick of me I worry if I’m sick of you I worry if I’m sick of me I worry if I’m sick of you We softly speak to reach across Then we swallow all the words We sit and watch the silver moths And feel the blue within the air Flying in the backseat And try to be patient with time My body never lets me Approach the sublime Drive listening to Vespertine I wonder if you think of me Drive listening to Vespertine I wonder if you think of me Becoming bored and I don’t know why It’s just another simple night We touch hands across the aisle And watch the yellow blurry lights You’re sitting right next to me Feel my emotional infancy You’re sitting right next to me Feel my emotional infancy I let you settle in my thoughts So I’m not left in here alone Color just outside the lines You can pencil in your own

Open Air 04:27
Paint me in your colors I exfoliate our trust Soaking in the water Until I start to rust Disharmony in the garden It only blooms at night Watch me as I harden And become a faded light Please forgive me as I disappear I won’t go gently into the open air (x2) Sometimes there’s little comfort in truth There’s still your silhouette in my room Please just let me disappear I don’t go gently into the open air (x4) I’m beginning to lose my sight (x4)

Dreams 03:28
I never thought to make a plan Still I’d wonder where we’d land Try to find the branches in the leaves Memories retreating into scenes I don’t know why I care I’m not even there I’m bleeding from my feet Can’t help it if I dream I wonder when we say goodbye If anyone could tell us why I keep forgetting my own age I’m writing nothing on a page I know that I’m not there Don’t wonder if I care Remember when we’d sleep? And I’d tell you all my dreams
