Go On

Go on keep on walking
We're headed for a run-in
Go on anyway
Go on keep on reaching
Listen to us speaking
Go on anyway
What will it take
For you to join in, to listen?
What will it take
For you to listen?
Go on it's not recent
We've got to strive for decent
Go on anyway
Even past the summer
Will you talk back to your brother?
Go on anyway
What will it take
For you to join in, to listen?
What will it take
For you to listen?
DO you believe what you hold dear?
SHOULD you believe what you hold dear?
WILL you believe what you hold dear?
Do YOU believe what you hold dear?
Should YOU believe what you hold dear?
Will YOU believe what you hold dear?

Spoiled for Choice

At this point, we'll see the sunrise
Kicked a bottle out of the way
As they rolled next to us in a shopping cart
On the 4:00 am bike lane
Just around the corner!
We're imminently close!
Two to five minutes I swear!
Said the Irishman after a few
As we circled St. George's square
Do you know where you are?
Do you follow the stars?
The cathedral's NOT near the cone
The pack's wearing thin
On their patience
As their heels start to befriend the stone
Robbed of a plan
Relegated to a roam
Spoiled for choice
No two which ways to go
Just around the corner!
We're imminently close!
Two to five minutes I swear!
Said the Irishman after a few
As we circled St. George's square
Do you know where you are?
Do you follow the stars?
The cathedral's NOT near the cone
Wait a minute, what's on?
The stragglers have since gone
Now ahead just a block or so
Just around the corner!
We're imminently close!
Two to five minutes I swear!
Said the Irishman after a few
As we circled St. George's square
Do you know where you are?
Do you follow the stars?
The cathedral's NOT near the cone
Wait a minute, what's on?
The stragglers have since gone
Now ahead just a block or so

Turn Left
03:29

On that slow-moving morning, she was stoned
Reading relevant fiction, about broken beautiful souls
Out of focus then she notices the room
Has shifted, light is drifting
The end of the day has come too soon
Inside of a cave, reaching out for a wall
I'm blind with my eyes wide open, will I fall?
Put my head down, start to run, there ain't no time to stall
It's hard to catch up with the world, that's always marching on
Turning left, and left again, and left again
Until she's back where she'd begun
She double-takes on the show, she's not the only one
They're turning left, and left again, and left again
She starts to let go, just get on
Inside of a cave, reaching out for a wall
I'm blind with my eyes wide open, will I fall?
Put my head down, start to run
There ain't no time to stall
If I go back to the way things were
I'd lose sight of the sun
Now the silhouettes appear
And they're dancing on
Get on, get on, she lets go
Get on, get on
Get on, get on, she lets go
Get on, get on
Get on, get on, she lets go
Get on, get on
Get on, get on, she lets go
Get on, get on

Acutely Aware

I'm acutely aware
Of how hard I'm breathing
But I'm breathing
And that's beautiful
Feeling unprepared
But I'm pushing forward
Exhausted
At the end of the day
Starting to find
Other things to occupy my mind
I'm noticing flowers
On walks through rain showers
They give me hope
Of colorful days
You keep asking me questions
Sending my thoughts in directions
I haven't let them go
Caught in an undertow
Retracing old maps
For countless days
How did I come about
Gifted presence in a time of doubt?
Knocked to the ground
But then I found
I found you
I found you
Hold onto
Onto you
Continue
To breathe through
A past you knew
It'll find you
So hold onto
Onto you

Laundry on the Floor
02:52
|

I get told I'm cool but it makes me uncomfortable
It puts me up on an unwanted pedestal
Stumbling over the right phrase
First the spotlight, then the haze
Leave me in my corner, away from all these eyes
I can't deal, I can't deal, I'm not that wise
I worry I'm gonna let you down
Cause I'm still working myself out
TELL IT TO ME NOW!
Can't handle surprises
Just paying rent, trying to be a good friend, that's all
Often feel like a fool, break a few rules
Walk after I crawl
Set folded laundry on the floor
Taking naps when I am bored
Leave me in my corner, away from all these eyes
I can't deal, I can't deal, I'm not that wise
I worry I'm gonna let you down
Cause I'm still working myself out
TELL IT TO ME NOW!
Can't handle surprises
Na na na na na, na na na na, na na
Na na na na na, na na na na, na na
Na na na na na, na na na na, na na
Na na na na na, na na na na, na na
I get told I'm cool but it makes me uncomfortable
It puts me up on an unwanted pedestal
