Fort 01:38
I want to build a fort under the folds of your skin I want to take your blues and cut your bruises open
2.
Mr. Rocket 03:36
Tell me that you're not gone Tell me you're not already home Thought I saw you in the sky Thought that I might give this a try Cause I'm looking for a ride out of here Hey Mr. Rocket do you know my name I've been flying down low, low The air is thick and the water's gray I want to go where you go Freedom is breaking the glass Freedom is not coming back Stars don't come out just at night Golden street lamps to another life So I'm catching your next flight out of here
3.
Lying 02:56
I think you're lying to me Your nose is now scraping the trees But Pinocchio still made it right in the end And I'm out here hoping that you'll be my friend and quit lying Please quit lying to me I think you're lying to me You can't life your eyes from your feet Babe don't you know I'm watching your gaze fall Down to the floor ain't convincing at all, so quit lying Please quit lying to me I think you're lying to me I can see right through your teeth Did you change your mind since we talked yesterday Or do you just not yet have your story straight? So quit lying Please quit lying to me
4.
They say that home is where you'll be They say I'll find you once I've given up on apathy But I've been scraping, clocking in I've got a day job crawling up my skin And I can take you to a trail Where no one's been but me in this Michigan air And I can wrap you up in twine Brown paper pinecones at Christmas time Cause I am not connected And I will not be infected By all the people around And you can try to change me But I will still try to daydream Cause I don't wanna be found
5.
Kilometers 03:34
I've been waiting all day To scratch these words into notepaper pages And push my hands to the sun They look small but I know what they've done Kilometers falling down the edge of the sea And the specks on my window are staring at me All of my choices have been make believe While kilometers are falling down the edge of the sea Feel these cracks in our hands They've been there since the day that we landed And you're no bigger than me But fused together we can clean this debris You're no bigger than me
6.
Empty Seat 01:42
Take my breath when you walk away dear So that I will always consume your air It's been quite the wild ride But tonight I've got an empty seat by my side As I'm swerving to the left, swerving to the right I can't fake it A little less of you, little more of me Will I make it As I learn to live alone With this empty seat by my side

about

This is an exceptional place. I've chosen to tell some of its stories with these songs. Thank you for always trusting my words.

Special thanks on this one to:

// The girls of A30 for the late nights, dead cacti, and bold pots of coffee
// Dakota for her brutal honesty and fine taste in stir fry
// Lisa for teaching me about this beautifully broken world and being the face (back) of this album
// My fam (both blood and not) for continuously showing up and being my best friends
// The woman on the Number One for reminding me that music is a gift, and to never stop telling stories
