Collateral

Tell me why we don't run for cover?
One leg in front of the other
Leave the cast behind with all your weight, to drift on under
We can still hold the embers
Even if they never settle
Palm to palm, we'll save the rest but you and I
We're just collateral
Swallow all my blood to be beside you
Feel my own hands always reaching up for limbs that never soothe
Go and blink the shards all off your face
Let them tumble away
Till your eyes look up
So you can see me
Head above the rust, I'm breathing out your fumes
There's nothing to lose
Tell me why we don't run for cover?
One leg in front of the other
Leave the cast behind with all your weight, to drift on under
We can still hold the embers
Even if they never settle
Palm to palm, we'll save the rest but you and I
We're just collateral
We're just collateral
We're just collateral
Knees are on the floor, they broke apart too soon
From under all the shadows pulling me in the dust
I'll blink before you do
Well I know you never wanted every line you drew
But the pages that they marked were never ours to choose
We're inescapable, a feather to your plume
You need to take the leap before we shaken loose
Tell me why we don't run for cover?
One leg in front of the other
Leave the cast behind with all your weight, to drift on under
We can still hold the embers
Even if they never settle
Palm to palm, we'll save the rest but you and I
We're just collateral
We're just collateral
We're just collateral
We're just collateral
We're just collateral

Flicker

You find me belly on the floor now
Jamming all my fingers into the ground
Oh I didn't scratch I didn't make a sound
Guess you knew the place I'd go to be without
If only I could just flicker right in front of you
Would you hold me, even if the shadows never let me through
From the palms of your hands to your chest
You pull the strings of my heart till they bend
But if only I could just flicker right in front of you
Oh the ash few that's few and further between
All of the depths I never let you see
And the words that always hit when they're loud
Can't ever seem to fall from my mouth
So tell me now dear
How'd you hold a hand that never reached out?
Tell me how?
If only I could just flicker right in front of you
(Calling back 'cause it's the truth)
Would you hold me, even if the shadows never let me through
(Darling if you knew)
From the palms of your hands to your chest
You pull the strings of my heart till they bend
But if only I could just flicker right in front of you
(Calling back 'cause it's the truth)
Will I ever
Flicker on? Just flicker on?
Flicker on for you
Will the shadows let me through
Will I ever
Flicker on? Just flicker on?
Flickering on for you?
Don't know if I'll ever see this through
It's not your fault you never knew
If only I could just flicker right in front of you
(Calling back)
Would you hold me, even if the shadows never let me through
(Calling back)
From the palms of your hands to your chest
You pull the strings of my heart till they bend
But if only I could just flicker right in front of you
(Calling back)
Will I ever just flicker on? Just flicker on?
Flicker on for you?
Flicker on just flicker on
Flicker on for you
Flicker on just flicker on
Flicker on for you
Flicker on, just flicker on

Hold tight now
These curtains never let you through
You know I'd come out
And be the shade across your weathered moon
But we're lost, unfolding
Can't ignore how I'm
Holding all but two
Of the pieces
You had lost
They've just gone out of sight
You say
Are you listening?
Please get to the point
I'm really struggling to hear you above the noise
Before I flip over the coin
Don't want to flip over the coin
And lose like I never really had any choice
We're a tangle in a web I can't avoid
If you break away you'll be just another voice
You hold me down
Until you hear the words you never knew
Pouring from my mouth now
You hold my hand I'll be the better fool
Better fool
But we're lost, unfolding
Can't ignore how I'm
Holding all but two
Of the pieces
You had lost
They've just gone out of sight
You say
Please get to the point
I'm really struggling to hear you above the noise
Before I flip over the coin
Don't want to flip over the coin
And lose you like I never really had any choice
We're a tangle in a web I can't avoid
If you break away you'll be just another voice
You'll be just another voice
You'll be just another voice
Hold tight now
I never should have never let you through
And if you can't see how
Well I guess I gotta lose you too
Lose you too
Please get to the point
I'm really struggling to hear you above the noise
Before I flip over the coin
Don't want to flip over the coin
And lose you like I never really had any choice
We're a tangle in a web I can't avoid
If you break away you'll be just another voice
Please get to the point
I'm really struggling to hear you above the noise
Or should I flip over the coin
And take a chance before I go and lose my voice

I'll be in the wake as you're
Heading for the worst
Of what you crave and what you make so typical
So far from your pinnacle
Didn't know my skin this well
Till the arms they fell
And drew me every line, unequivocal
Never felt so invisible
You'll be the corner I can't ever trust
I countered days while you were counting marks
Oh what's there to see through?
It's all in plain view, if and when you want it allowed
And in my head I want to run
But I can't help but think you got a heart
All buried inside you
But it's not an excuse
'cause this damage should be the minimum
To get you out of the dark and off your knees
'cause this damage should be the minimum
But every temper you're holding never sleeps
Is it even too late now to see
All of the chances that were laid at your feet
'cause this damage should be the minimum
To get you out of the dark it's all I need
Can't pretend I've had a choice
To be overjoyed
Of when and where you change your hidden walls
Building up around me cyclical
You'll be the corner I can't ever trust
I countered days while you were counting marks
Oh what's there to see through?
God it's just no use
'cause this damage should be the minimum
(Should be the minimum)
To get you out of the dark and off your knees
'cause this damage should be the minimum
(Should be the minimum)
But every temper you're holding never sleeps
Is it even too late now to see
All of the chances that were laid at your feet
'cause this damage should be the minimum
(Should be the minimum)
To get you out of the dark it's all I need
'cause this damage should be the minimum
(Should be the minimum)
To get you out of the dark and off your knees
'cause this damage should be the minimum
(Should be the minimum)
But every temper you're holding never sleeps
Is it even too late now to see
All of the chances that were laid at your feet
'cause this damage should be the minimum
(Should be the minimum)
To get you out of the dark it's all I need
Should be the minimum
Should be
Should be the minimum

Smoke

Heard you call in the smoke again
And I can't tell if it's all pretend
Won't look up
Both eyes stay shut
Among these clouds that tread below
Did you call in the smoke again?
I don't know
Can't stay here for long
It caves in my lungs
We're just one of each other
Even in the smoke
We'll find ourselves in our own remedy
Dressed up in all the things we're meant to be
Heavy your two feet on the ledge
I couldn't see the noose on your neck
All this dust
Fills up our lungs
We're covered from head to toe
I heard you call in the smoke again
Can I ever forget
I don't know
Heard you calling
Heard you calling
Heard you call in the smoke again
Heard you calling
Heard you calling
Heard you call in the smoke again
Heard you calling
Heard you calling
Heard you call in the smoke again
