As we pass over the international dateline
I am left wondering
How did we get here?
So much spent on fear
Blinded by our own
Our rules
Our rules
Our rules

I step in, say hello
Tap the light just so you know
That I’m here and I mean no harm
Think I’d like to get to know you
Ask your name—where you from?
Wonder why you made this your home?
What do you fear? And can you relate?
If you had the chance, what would you like to say?
I break the lull but I can feel you there
Try my best—pretend not to care
But my heart is beating for anyone to hear
I turn off the light and disappear

Glancing backward where there once was a door
Follow the memory—know you’ve been here before
Is this something new, or has it always been?
Start to understand and see it to the end
Connect every point with a straight line
Straight lines collide
Compose your own shape with each new line
New lines decide
Each step closer—another voice to be heard
All of these lines and all of them blurred

Things
02:57

I’m a rocket into the blue
I don’t want to think about today
I am me but I am new
And ready to believe that it’s ok
But these things won’t make me happy
These things they won’t fix you
Things keep coming at me
And it’s you they’re after, too
Like the waves that reach for the clouds
Aren’t we all just trying to claim our way
And if happiness has a cost
Tell me what consensus says we’ll pay
If these things won’t make us happy
If these things won’t tell the truth
If these things keep coming at me
And these things they want you, too
It’s a carousel in a cage
That we should all be trying to escape
It’s an illusion up on a stage
Define it by an ever changing shape
Cause these things won’t make us happy
These things they won’t stay new
These things keep coming at me
And it’s you they’re after, too

Air Out the Attic
02:45
|

I am finally finding air
Carving out a space to be there
She’s emerging bit by bit
If you’re willing you can feel it
I don’t even know just when it started
I don’t even know just where it ends
I don’t want to always feel exhausted
Learning to accept she’s not pretend
So open the windows and air out the attic
She’s warming up her voice to
Tear down the curtains and blow out the static
I’m listening to her voice it sings a song so I can sleep
Still I’m searching for some air
Looking for a way to be fair

Everything Infinite
03:36
|

I’m sinking in
Weary from fighting it
She knows the way
Everything infinite
We keep talking about the big one—I guess I’m over it
Each step forward trying to find a future bit by bit
And I’m sinking in
So tired of fighting it
Cause she knows the way
Everything infinite
Everything infinite
Everything infinite
