Track 1: Disappear

Track 2: Forgot my name

Every day- a small and graceful death So I'll be ready for that last breath the truth is -it might do nothing at all But I know one thing When I stare at you too long, you disappear.

Isnt it nice? we might not really be here. Every night- a toe in the water of awake devouring vitamins of hope for my soul Beaten heart - blind faith faded black Tilts gold face melts off Shadow When I stare at you too long, you disappear.

Isnt it nice? We might not really be here.

I let you in I thought it would be fine And it was for a while Until you took away your smile I tried to hold your pain But I couldn't change your heart And I forgot my name When you said we’d never part I remember when you told me you wanted to die You said you’d stay so you could hold me But that was a lie I tried to hold your pain But I couldn't change your heart And I forgot my name When you said we’d never part

Track 3: Built to die

You touch my spine

Slipping through all this blindness We always go the long way but I dunno if I belong here I don't remember how to be held Let’s just melt beyond our bodies cuz You and I will say goodbye we were built to die And we don't wanna say goodbye but we were built to die Maybe our bones will turn to stardust Maybe we’ll shine within the sun Maybe our laughter will be the sparrows We can forget this lovely lie But I’ll remember you Let’s meet within the sky so blue We were built to die And we don't wanna say goodbye But we were built to die Built to die Built to die And we don’t wanna say goodbye But we were built to die Oh why were we built to die? Built to die, oh why? Goodbye.

Track 4: Roses

Someday when my hair is as white as yours was I will stop and smell the roses.

Someday when my hair is as white as yours was I’ll hope I have given half these gifts And I will stop and smell the roses Someday when my hair is as white as yours was I’ll hope I have given half these gifts that you planted in my heart. I’m smelling all the roses.

Track 5: Happy captive

Check out all the flies in my honey They think they love me but want out when I’m not lovely. And then they try to hold me. But never say sorry.

Everyone loves a happy captive Sweet as a bee, your happy captive You can love me if I lock my own cage And pretend that I have never known rage. Guess I’ll smile now, your happy captive.

I'm just a luscious mess of particles giggling and crying towards my next breath To keep from drowning in your eyes that leak shoulds I’d rather face the wolves alone in the woods Than appease you I’m not sorry. but.

Everyone loves a happy captive Sweet as a bee, your happy captive You can love me if I lock my own cage And pretend that I have never known rage. Guess I’ll smile now, your happy captive.

Everyone loves a happy captive That's not for me, I’m too adaptive Wilder joys have stolen bits of my soul I’m not interested in playing that role. I’m not smilingCall me reactive.

Track 6: Words mean nothing

There are tears in my coffee and I can't find my voice you feed me the stars for breakfast and everything stops my hair is on end and my tongue is in knots I look for the words in my pocket but then my heart drops and sings La la la la

Let’s Swallow the moon with Green tea and tangle our souls You can teach me the tune that lost me and give me that rose While we sing La la la la

When we stare at the ceiling it's like we could fly Words mean nothing so why even try lala

Track 7: Safe

It is safe

Is it? Is it?

It is safe?

It is safe to let it go.

It is safe Is it? Is it?

It is safe? It is safe to let it go.

It is safe. Is it safe?

It is. Is it safe? Safe? Is it safe to let it go?

There’s nothing to fear. It is safe.

Track 8: Did the love fit

Warm tears wash your sweater today Flattened sleeves Flattened heart Empty sweater, alone. wondering Did the love fit through the phone? pressing my cheek to the plastic I sang you over the rainbow Sorry I can't put my arms where your arms were But I wanna know Did the love fit through the phone? my kitchen will feel empty forever. Did the love fit?

Track 9: If you were here

It’s dangerously lonely when I’m singing these songs for you Cuz your hands felt holy When you let your heart peek through and If you were here I’d be home now.

the light hits the trees in fall But never shoved me against a wall the love was so big It made us both small I know you tried to give your best I’m working on forgetting all the rest Your fist hit my thigh But burned my chest. Yellow light in the kitchen Cold floor on my cheek and If you were here I’d be home now.

Track 10: Wild horses

Childhood living

Is easy to do The things you wanted I bought them for you Graceless lady You know who I am You know I can't let you Slide through my hands Wild horses Couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses Couldn't drag me away I watched you suffer A dull aching pain Now you've decided To show me the same No sweeping exit Or offstage lines Could make me feel bitter Or treat you unkind Wild horses Couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses Couldn't drag me away

Track 10: Wild horses cont.

I know I've dreamed you A sin and a lie I have my freedom But I don't have much time Faith has been broken Tears must be cried Let's do some living After we die Wild horses

Couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses

We'll ride them some day Wild horses Couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses We'll ride them some day

Track 11: Water

The weight of each cloud pours from each bone

I cant get the first off of my nails

Wondering why we bother with rain. Always wondering why we bother.

The persimmon fruit rots on the ground

If we don’t bother Will we be safe? Will it grow? Can we know? It will grow. We can’t know. What we water will grow.
