only looking just ahead for however many miles back and forth and back again it's turning into quite awhile so don't kill me just yet i've got a heart in my hand holding on tight it's a pretty good bet and you could say just wait about a year or two well i don't give a fuck man it's what i'm gonna do i don't know just how but i only care about holding on to this thing that i found faithless shaky hands grabbing out at everything faithless shaky hands a desperate and shaking man can't hold on to anything carrying a rock around it's weighing heavy on my chest alleviated by a choice and i know i know what's best so don't kill me just yet i've got a heart in my hand holding on tight it's a pretty good bet and you could say just wait about a year or two well i don't give a fuck man it's what i'm gonna do i don't know just how but i only care about holding on to this thing that i found faithless shaky hands grabbing out at everything faithless shaky hands a desperate and shaking man can't hold on to anything now i know now i'm sure i nestled in and found this life and there love shook my body like a devastation there love howled and shook howled like her eyes in the pictures i took there love howled and shook howled like her eyes in the pictures i took in the pictures i took acting on a sober heart but my head's been drunk as fuck

there's a lot of back and forth now with these things i wonder if it'll change when i get older or is it only getting worse i don't have much perspective i haven't read a lot of books i'm holding on to what i've got feels better just to do it then to not receding into history as transience sparking of fuse or trailing bright across the sky morning news careful while your gardening the sprouts are really very pretty cause all i ever wanted is everything i ever wanted it's all in your head now people say it's just that simple i say just too often it's really rarely just that simple we can talk for hours a distance wasted three a.m. it's only in the morning simple brings us back again it's hardly cinematic like theme songs jurassic park pivot in a moment together from lonely the seconds give and take away give and take away

Window 03:40
there's a moment in the morning just after you wake but before you've woken up when your eyes are open but all the things that'll bring you down haven't gotten in your head yet so just stare at the sun through your window

Matter 03:46
try and just settle my head try and hold on to a moment i met i consider my life instead and fall, fall out just a bit more
7.
In Cursive 05:24
life in cursive tied together like a bow if all my hands would ever let go just go now just go now you'll know how you'll know how just go life in curves tied together life in curves tied together if all my hands would ever let go i'd be free to fall with the winter snow if all my hands would ever let go i'd be free to fall down free to hit the ground

take my hand oh with the state i'm in day in day out howling it's all in my head i guess someone upstairs made a mess i'm trying my best no i'm not ok time is just rough now no i'm not ok i'm a little tired of this stuff now take my hand oh with the state i'm in day in day out howling you dart aside easily pardon my soul and my misery the liquor's atop of my chest but thank god for making this mess all of my feelings i guess no i'm not ok time is just rough now no i'm not ok i'm a little tired of this stuff now no i'm not ok no i'm not ok no i'm not ok so i howl and flood now hold on hold on i howl i'm gone hold on hold i'm here now i wish you'd get your head back inside but i know you're trying to keep your cool
