close to you (they long to be) 02:27
lyrics
buy track
why do birds suddenly appear when you’re near just like me they long to be close to you why do stars fall down from the sky everytime you walk by because just like me they long to be close to you on the day that you were born the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true so they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue that is why all the boys in town follow you all around because just like me they long to be close to you because just like me they long to be close to you

business casual chalk outline 05:00
lyrics
buy track
august smell in my car i quit my job and wandered home my dirty black pants sitting lazy on the floor i study them in awful dread if i could vanish and see my empty cells wash out tonight every way they could fall when i don't touch the floor if i could vanish and make my business casual outline you know i would healing hands all up and down my spine i pull the covers up to my chin at night my stupid selfish brain is ringing like the phone when i turn myself to turn the tv on turn on the lights turn on the stove and make some old shit from the freezer box crack my neck and eat go to sleep wake up and hate myself at school if i could vanish and see my empty shell flatten out tonight every way you'd live when i don't wake up anymore if i could vanish and make my own business casual chalk outline you know i would you know i would kill my boss kill the phone kill the lights kill the late night talk show hosts i'm running thin you're running me thin spread me out and watch me run again

lyrics

i hope you like this song oh who am i kidding i don't have to try for you it's always half past something when i have somewhere i'd rather be with you when i'm staring blank at the walls it's never just anything passing through my empty brain it's only very pretty things it's always half past nothing when i am stuck in this empty cold room without you when i'm staring up at the ceiling i'm not thinking just anything only very pretty things

(i know it's silly) (i know i'm silly) (but please let me dream just a little longer) (i'm afraid of who i have to wake up to) oh, toronto moon i have never laid eyes on you holding the dead of night in an unforgiving sadness holding an extra flashlight just for me leading me into a new chapter telling me what i need to hear dreaming this might be real some day

halloween (gravesites) 05:00
lyrics
buy track
citrus leaking into the soundhole it marries two forever it tears out all the devils freeing birds beneath broken bones and dusty halloween photographs you know it's getting close to that time again for another full rotation and i'm alone in sorrow in angst without wisdom of grieving i'm leaking like the silence beneath your stone walking around all of our favorite places i'm seeing them in new lights i'm praying there like churches eating words and regretting what is not my fault my memory slips away from me i'm falling back to old habits and defacing these old gravesites it's getting close to that time again when i start thinking about the old times

(for good measure) 02:01
lyrics
buy track
i am almost 18 years old and afraid of the dark i don't know whats on the other side i probably never will at least that's how i'd like to keep it nice and simple i don't like the way the world works i don't like how it works you over i don't like how it fucks you over i like it better when I'm here with you and all suburban homes are haunted but only for your viewing pleasure you know it's only for good measure you need something wild to ponder forever to keep you guessing and on your toes as if the bigger problems had already been solved
