Myth 02:42

Comfort 05:32
Always inches away, we are unfinished shapes Never ending, ever shrinking Always chasing a day, this one gets in the way but we don't change it, just walk around it And in that longest of miles comes the illusion of home and we will save it, because we know it So I've been saving up my time to find some better use or a new excuse to keep it underused and never have to move like getting used to everything I've always had and always seen but couldn't be Just wave after wave to keep my off my feet and always clean And I, I found you a lie And I, I kept it alive I know it was safe in that cave, but oh what a waste As you wither away counting your days Making marks on the wall so you know where you are and you'll stay there because you know it I know it was safe in that cave, but you can't just wait for the planet to shift and let you escape Counting marks on the wall so you know when you are you're no time at all, you're a boring song And with everything you'll want to be but won't have time you waste the day to give your circling a reason to keep circling and staying clean When all your miles add up, what did you spend them on a wasted song that you won't sing a well for throwing everything a better home where you won't sleep a pile of gold that you'll just keep a statue for the world to see that won't do anything It won't do anything

Monument 08:39
We followed the ship for nights It glowed a green and phantom light A flare had fallen to their deck A ghostly glow that kept us back Of course we knew better than that But we're still afraid, and the world's still flat We found their bodies on the beach with crumpled letters wet with ink They said we should have known better than that So we took their sails and stitched them back A monument to what had passed Our superstitions rectified And it's calming, so calming to believe Burying could bring some peace to a lifeless body Our superstitions rectified They tunneled ladders to our homes, So we took the long way, you never know I think we know better than that We found some gold set on the ground Right again, so we wrote it down We all can know better than that And it's calming, so calming to believe Burying could bring some peace to a lifeless body Our superstitions rectified We snuck through to the other side Just out of view of our own lives Our worth is something we can hide Until our work has been revised It's easier to change your mind and cope than change yourself to be what you had hoped We built a quiet home to keep our thoughts and opened all its doors to those we crossed And eager for a lie we filled them up With what we thought was life's unquestioned love And in our lengthy talks we fell so short Took comfort in some comforting reports You see it isn't me it's just this world So move yourself along for your reward So now we scream we all know better now The ink has dried and there's no turning back Attaching our own strings to our own hands So something pulls our faults to something else But it's easier to change your mind and cope Than change yourself to be what you had hoped And though it's no shame to long for more, It just doesn't count when you lock your door

Abide 03:40
Everyone else if your excuse, but it's you and you're turning them too to be excused But something that you make can't take the fall for all you take, but you assume they're taking too Don't just sit not bailing out your boat, 'cause they told you others won't You're too bitter now to move, so you're the others too Just sinking away, arms crossed in the waves, nothing left to save, everyone to blame You shrug as the searching find you in the spitting foaming sea, underneath some tattered ship you assumed would be replaced by wood from the rest of the fleet and all of your wishes fell short of land as the whole world stood back with folded hands drifting away and writing 'it's everybody else but me' Won't be long, your hand full of keys with no doors you've seen and all your spent, you hold in between a forest of seeds that won't get warm enough to be
5.
Island 06:20
A torch to burn and put out with a hand and never even blink It wouldn't mean a thing or be seen Collected feathers, a last ditch effort to cross the river that you made But your arms were wet, they wouldn't stay and every feather fell away and left you on the ground to wait another day We found you there, under the leaves just like you said with your shoes beside the water waiting for the end to end When you stood up, saw faces floating in the dark but you can't see much past your hands and couldn't reach out past your arms You couldn't wait when you climbed out to see a day and all it promised you found it haunted and such a waste We shoved the trees into our tiny bags and carried them to some safe place where we could stand and watch the world and not be seen, so we could wait for all of it to be erased and turned to dust, and start again And climb out from our hiding place and live again, and live again
6.
Dust 05:05
We burn through all we got so soon, and stitch the scraps and call it new but our only fault's not getting enough, we push our wrongs to lack of luck we'll bury the sea for a while I guess, until we're fit to use it best Delaying each move for a better day, to be born again in a different way We'll bury the sea for a while I guess and deal with the thirst 'til it burns our chest I could barricade well all my future selves but it's not what I want, even if I will 'cause I stole all the gold and I'm hiding it well to never be used even by myself And I dug up the sea from the wreckage to find it just how I left it but missing its shine And we'll all find it strange that I kept it away Just too scared of lost, so I hid it so safe To just keep some piece of the world that I knew too scared of the next one, there was nothing to do And all of that time that I swore I'd make up had been turning the world I had saved into dust
7.
Ceremony 08:31
Go light on the walls, you won't need them for long Down the well you fall, under the cover of every coin you caught and held your breath in too long holding onto all the gold you could touch You spent your spirit on a loan for something you could touch while long extended hands made amends with the bodies they had left and known for such short increments And all of this was innocent We built a well to make them wish and covered up every inch that you won't miss for long But I wasn't there to build a wall, just windows over all you saw to keep them there so we could stare, 'cause we were sitting after all Left in a box but you won't know since you'll never try to grow into anything that wouldn't fit, that touched the glass, that wasn't inside Before too long, we'll cover up our mouths and say it to our hands and no one else. We'll leave our work locked up for years to collect dust and show we don't need all these walls to be windows But you're always reaching down the well, falling for every coin that fell and when you climbed up with pockets full, all your world had turned to gold and where were you, you should have known, you shrug and drop an empty wish back down
