when you can't begin to understand why the river rushing through your veins is sometimes fire sometimes freezing rain you've tried and failed to form the words to explain how so much hurt could come from nowhere like a speeding train it's all in the way you close your eyes at night kiss the world goodbye, goodbye but you're wide awake, with your glassy eyes cause the noise inside won't sleep at night no the noise inside never sleeps it's like you're standing in the middle of the sea with the waves knocking out your knees when the tide comes, it'll shake you up (shake you up) so you finally found a way to disrupt the noise inside your brain draw a river out from your veins

I met love in a coffee shop I got there early just to watch her walk I almost left before she saw me almost left her waiting there alone I met love and she stepped into my hotel heart of vacant rooms but her eyes said I would like to know you I almost said most people just pass through leave your fingerprints on the walls of my heart I feel your glance, like it's right where it belongs I want to see your smile last for centuries and I'll catch your tears when they spill over sometimes I'll read your mind and other times you'll be a mystery and I'll say I would like to know you I met love and she let me in for a while I was hesitant it almost scared me off the way she didn't seem to mind me being fragile I met love in my best friend now I get here early just to watch her walk in I can't believe I almost left her here cause now I'd sit and wait forever.

Color Me 02:46
you've been feeling like a ghost like someone stole away your soul and all the simple things you'd meant to hold on to I'd hate to think that I'm the thief or at least I'd like to believe that I've added not subtracted from your peace of mind and I've been thinking that maybe when you see me, you look at me that certain way it colors all the world in gray and I'm wondering if maybe when you go outside you'll see it in a different light the colors seem to make you smile and you realize that your insides only made you cry when they were painted with the color me (the color me) you've been lying in repose like someone stole away your hope and all the simple dreams you'd meant to hold on to and I'd hate to think that I'm that thief or at least I'd like to believe that I've added not subtracted from your peace of mind

my veins are all blue a thousand little streams a map under my skin making my heart the sea when I was a child I filled a few with sand redirecting rivers to avoid some awkward bends the tide is sure to break somewhere and I'm wide awake with salty eyes and messy hair on the surface there's a lot more to be scared of so I let myself sink below where the underwater sunlight is so much easier on the eyes the underwater sunshine shows it all in a softer light and I've tried to paddle upstream but I've never really known if there's a nicer place to go or if this is just how humans pass the time we've all got oceans in our chest some violent some at rest but mine was never either somewhere in between constantly uneasy
5.
I've been trying to go to sleep like everybody else but I can't slip away so easily because we haven't said goodnight I've been trying to be myself the only way I know but nights like this distance makes it hard to feel exposed so wherever you are, I hope that you're not sleeping I hope that you're awake so maybe you'll call, tell me I'm not the only one who's thinking we haven't said goodnight darling, so how am I supposed to sleep I may have been distracted by the noise inside my head but now it's dark and I can hear more clearly all the things I wish I'd said still I wish I was close enough to avoid the phone entirely to feel the rhythm of your breathing whisper goodnight and fall asleep

about

This record is the result of a collaborative effort. These songs wouldn’t be what they are without the hands and voices that shaped them or without the people who constantly support and encourage me as a human and as an artist.
