I was floating away to the moon You were making your way too soon Took my breath and spun it Away (Away Away) Standing in the vestibule on 5th Avenue You were never quite there when you said you would be I was waiting all damn day to hear you complain You couldn’t even replace my photograph of when I flew to outerspace I’m Away (Away Away) ------- You told me no, you couldn’t go When I was leaving You couldn’t say, you wouldn’t play I knew you were breathing I knew you were breathing I knew you were breathing
2.
There’s a heat in the architecture, stuff it out from messy spots Punch it off in tiny pictures, couldn’t make it too, too hot Push the touch you can’t ignore, skip the dance, you count to four You wanna take a hard, give me room to see the stars Try to see the smoke through the symptoms, foggy up the ice through the other side Wouldn’t drive into the open, shut your ears and try to hide, hide, hide Finally, it’s cold to me You wanna be that hot commodity Give me room to see the stars

THE WAY OUT 04:24
I know you better than I know the solar systems Covered in plutonium I can’t remember The way out, the way out Well I saw you sink into the dirt (oh boy) Well I knew it didn’t really hurt (oh joy) Come inside you couldn’t find the way out there (oh no) Well it seems you didn’t try you didn’t care (oh oh) You were staring at me through the iron glass It was too important I forgot to ask When you’re coming home, I’ll make sure to erase All the things that made you want to face The way out, the way out
4.
It’s unreasonable You make my knees buckle under the weight of your appetite Sittin on your silver, let it go your filter pop, and you don’t see me anymore Everything you took with my hands You were grabbing at it tryna make it your dance You were coming over crying that you’re so strong Well no one’s listening, cause baby we’re all dead and gone Stop. Wait. Take a breath. You don’t even know how you fell into this mess Well I don’t give a fuck You fell into this land without a reason or a plan and now you’re Sittin on your silver, pretty boy you make a mean man Take off your mask, now I see your face You were whiter underneath than all your bedsheets Let it hang low down like the strange fruit I can’t taste If we catch you than we caught you try and get out of this fast heat
5.
WAVES BREAK 04:52
When you told me I could walk on ice No one told me you could do that twice There’s a cemetery on that silver speedway There’s a voicemail calling, it’s your overdue pay You were reading Sartre, finding print In the hallowed hallways, taste like mint There’s a picture of you on the concrete So you thought you found it, don’t you remember the heat When you (oo-oo) fall in love with me Don’t you (oo-oo) make it more than I can take Cause I (oo-oo) don’t ever want to be Swimming out into the ocean when the waves break Don’t you make any assumptions about me There was thunder, sunny day, you were holding So you threw the ice away, I was folding There were rougher merry-go-rounds in the frozen sections You were looking through the light bulbs to the rigged elections
6.
When you were younger you told me When you were older that you’d be You knew it over and over You knew you’re over, it’s over But it stays with you And it stays with you Dun dun dun Dun dun dun Dun dun dun Little boy, you just scream out your name Little boy, you know it’s always the same They can’t see you, they can’t hear you Singing from the pavement jazz muffled with your blood NO HATE NO FEAR IMMIGRANTS ARE WELCOME HERE STAND UP FIGHT BACK
7.
SOCK DRAWER 04:51
Funny how it’s over now and you don’t even notice You told me look the other way, so I would just ignore this Well if you can exaggerate, well baby take your time and wait But don’t you leave your socks in my drawer You were sittin on the top shelf, they were sittin on the side You gave me that one, cold look baby, well I couldn’t let it slide It wasn’t always rooted, no it wasn’t always far But don’t you leave your socks in my drawer Take away the good ones, you’re left with all the holes You can’t predict the weather, whether it was being told to you By all the breezes blowing, by the clouds and all the stars But don’t you leave your socks in my drawers Make me, waste me, don’t you return, Take me, taste me if you wanna learn All about how you took the knots and untied Well it’s all a mystery to me, cause you’re diggin at my pride
