My minds a library full of books that I've not read Filling these pages are all the words that I've not said If a love is written there it's lost in the matter Among all the voices in an intrusive chatter It's so hard to keep three points of contact while climbing the ladder While climbing the ladder Hello Hollow (I don't know how much I've got to give) You make it hard to try Hello Hollow (I don't know how much I've got) Familiar ally Hello Hollow (I don't know how much I've got to give) You make it hard to try Hello Hollow (I don't know how much I've got) Familiar ally My minds a canary forgotten and left for dead Begging to be buried by the words repeat in my head Devoid of ore, alone in this mine No place like home where is my mind, where is my mind Hello Hollow (I don't know how much I've got to give) You make it hard to try Hello Hollow (I don't know how much I've got) Familiar ally Hello Hollow (I don't know how much I've got to give) You make it hard to try Hello Hollow (I don't know how much I've got) Familiar ally I'm recounting my sins please tell me where to stop Should I give up, give in or give it all I've got? Hello Hollow (I want to give it all I've got to give) You make it hard to try Hello Hollow (I want to give it all) Familiar ally Hello Hollow (I don't know how much I've got to give) You make it hard to try Hello Hollow (I don't know how much I've got) Familiar ally

We all have the same blood flowing through our veins I just wish that we could live without the pain We all have the same blood just different names I just wish our words would learn to refrain Cause for alarm I can see you're tired of this race Come lay in my arms So, your heart may rest its pace Cause for alarm I can see you're tired of this race Come lay in my arms So, your heart may rest its pace I can see you're tired of this race We all want the same things from this short life We all want to limit what brings along any strife We all want the same things from this short life So why do we push each other so close to the knife Cause for alarm I can see you're tired of this race Come lay in my arms So, your heart may rest its pace Cause for alarm I can see you're tired of this race Come lay in my arms So, your heart may rest its pace I can see you're tired of this race We all have the same blood We all have the same blood We all have the same blood We all have the same blood We all have the same blood We all have the same blood Just different names Just different names Just different names We all have the same blood We all have the same blood We all have the same blood Just different names Just different names Just different names Cause for alarm I can see you're tired of this race Come lay in my arms So, your heart may rest its pace Cause for alarm I can see you're tired of this race Come lay in my arms So, your heart may rest its pace I can see you're tired of this race

I keep treading water till my feet hit the shore Feel the days get shorter and I am left wanting more I keep treading water till my feet hit the shore Feel the days get shorter and I am left wanting more Of all the times I've tried this I still can't come home For every Goliath there is a stone I keep treading water till my feet hit the shore Feel the days get shorter and I am left wanting more I keep treading water till my feet hit the shore Feel the days get shorter and I am left wanting more As hard as I close my fist I just keep breaking bone I'm the lonely yellow-bellied sapsucker banging on a stone I'm not saying I'm suffering But I just want to feel something I keep treading water I keep treading water till my feet hit the shore (I keep breaking bone/ Banging on a stone) The days are shorter, I'm left wanting more (I keep breaking bone/ Banging on a stone) I keep treading water till my feet hit the shore (I keep breaking bone/ Banging on a stone) I'm not saying I'm suffering But I just want to feel something Feels like my whole life is buffering And I'm left waiting for nothing I'm not saying I'm suffering But I just want to feel something

Swallow 04:12

Can I push this down any further? Can I keep it all within? Can I keep this all? Can you take me away where they won't follow? I'm having thoughts that I can't swallow I'm just trying to make it to tomorrow Before I'm carried away by wings of swallows I've tasted life that is something I'll savor But now my tongue is lost, can't find the flavor I am present today that might waiver I still can't decide, done doing you the favor Can you take me away where they won't follow? I'm having thoughts that I can't swallow I'm just trying to make it to tomorrow Before I'm carried away by wings of swallows Can you take me away? Can you take me away? Before I'm carried away? Before I'm carried away? Can I push this down any further? I need to stay, or I might hurt her Can I keep it all within? Couldn't stand what it'd do to him Can you take me away where they won't follow? I'm having thoughts that I can't swallow I'm just trying to make it to tomorrow Before I'm carried away by wings of swallows Can you take me away? Can you take me away? Before I'm carried away? Before I'm carried away?

Tiny droplets of lost emotion A crystalized empathetic ocean Lying low and cognitively clouded My stomachs empty but my minds overcrowded Wednesday I can't stay When you feel so far away Wednesday I can't stay When you feel so far away Heavy hearted/ Plans un-started A loss of appetite and ambition Heavily influenced by nearby bodies Topography and windy conditions Wednesday I can't stay When you feel so far away Wednesday I can't stay When you feel so far away Asymptomatic Unsympathetic Simple and pathetic Simple and pathetic No longer tragic Feeling synthetic Simple and pathetic Simple and pathetic This weather has begun to break But their fevers still going strong Reports it won't last long Remember the hands I used to shake They've never felt more wrong I hope it don't last long This weather has begun to break But their fevers still going strong Reports it won't last long Remember the hands I used to shake They've never felt more wrong I hope it don't last long Wednesday I can't stay When you feel so far away Wednesday I can't stay When you feel so far away

I am cold hard wood and stone With a list of times that I should've known You're the fire filling this home Warming up these tired old bones You are my radiator I have never felt greater You are my radiator I have never felt greater Summer days have gotten shorter So the nights are so much colder I put you up on my shoulders I think of who you'll be when you get older You are my radiator I have never felt greater You are my radiator I have never felt greater When I see your face I'm seeing double When I see your face I know I'm in trouble You are my radiator I have never felt greater You are my radiator I have never felt greater You are my radiator I have never felt greater You are my radiator I have never felt greater

It's been a long time since I remember feeling like this But somehow, I always knew I'd feel this way Eventually Eventually A constant stream of synapse connectivity That's what's ailing me It's now muscle memory It's my muscle memory It seems the things I want to remember I always forget And those that stick around I'd much rather forfeit I'm repeating emotions with an increased inefficiency It's now muscle memory It's my muscle memory It seems the things I want to remember I always forget And those that stick around I'd much rather forfeit I always knew I'd feel this way again Always knew I'd feel this way It's now muscle memory It's my muscle memory It seems the things I want to remember I always forget And those that stick around I'd much rather forfeit I always knew I'd feel this way again Always knew I'd feel this way It's now muscle memory It's my muscle memory

I'm not gonna see my friends and family no more Cause' they're all out to get me I'm not going out that door Even if I tried these legs won't let me I've set my destination Self-isolation It's taken all my concentration But it's worth my preservation I've set my destination Self-isolation It's taken all my concentration But it's worth my preservation (Home Alone) I find myself having trouble finding work for idle hands With an emu's ideology I'll bury my head in the sand Down so far you can't see Even if I tried these legs won't let me I've set my destination Self-isolation It's taken all my concentration But it's worth my preservation I've set my destination Self-isolation It's taken all my concentration But it's worth my preservation (Home Alone) I know it's not what you wanted (But it's what we need) I know it's not what you wanted (But it's what we need) But it's what we need But it's what we need I've set my destination Self-isolation It's taken all my concentration But it's worth my preservation (Home Alone) I've set my destination Self-isolation It's taken all my concentration But it's worth my preservation I know it's not what you wanted But it's what we need I know it's not what you wanted But it's what we need

The Acquired Savant 03:28

I'm waking up to what these hands have shown I'm whirling out faster than a cyclone I'm falling off the path that I had planned Has my life gotten out of hand? The force of a battering ram Waking something deep I've lost sense of who I am Gaining strengths and losing sleep The force of a battering ram Waking something deep I've lost sense of who I am Pressure strong enough to crack temporal bone I break reverie to make them my own These thoughts aren't under my command I just wish that I could understand The force of a battering ram Waking something deep I've lost sense of who I am Gaining strengths and losing sleep The force of a battering ram Waking something deep I've lost sense of who I am These colors and shapes aren't what I've known A light that breaks through trees now it has grown Patterns spiraling out to force my hand Words and numbers my mind can't understand Trapped inside my head I feel alone A moment in time I wish I could postpone These thoughts aren't under my command I just wish that I could understand These colors and shapes aren't what I've known A light that breaks through trees now it has grown Patterns spiraling out to force my hand Words and numbers my mind can't understand The force of a battering ram Waking something deep I've lost sense of who I am Gaining strengths and losing sleep The force of a battering ram Waking something deep I've lost sense of who I am I've lost sense of who I am I've lost sense of who I am I've lost sense of who I am

When all the signs pointed you south to keep dry and safe from the storm Your heart pumped hard enough to keep us both well and warm The stronger the wind and the snow your love continues to grow So I live here now your heart is my home Northern cardinal You didn't have to stay Your strengths are admirable True beauty on display Northern cardinal You didn't have to stay We're disregarding these revolving doubts And there's no way we will ever spin out Cause' now we are strong enough when together we weather these storms We believe in what we both know, encouraging our love to grow So I live her now your heart is my home Northern cardinal You didn't have to stay Your strengths are admirable True beauty on display Northern cardinal You didn't have to stay Your strengths are admirable True beauty on display Northern cardinal You didn't have to stay But I'm so glad you stayed

You don't always have to win Just don't always forfeit And always give at least as much as you get This life's embracing you No matter what path you chose I'll always be there to help you through Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose And if you feel the weight of life's growing pains I'll be there to help you move the chains Sometimes what feels wrong is right Sometimes you have to lose to win the fight This life's embracing you No matter what path you chose I'll always be there to help you through Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose Clear eyes Full hearts You can't lose Clear eyes Full hearts You can't lose This life's embracing you No matter what path you chose I'll always be there to help you through Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose Always forgive, never forget Always live without regret Always forgive, never forget Always live without regret Always forgive, never forget Always live without regret
