Slow Devotion

Think that I better turn back Washed with all this regret Stuck inside my own head Work until I spend it all again Still I can’t stand the skin I live in Have you ever been more afraid? Have you ever been more in love?

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen you 500 miles southbound Your hesitation speaks volumes And I can’t turn it down now Are you missing me? Are you missing me Cause I can’t figure it out Memory is ecstasy Am I missing you now? Your chasing fantasy And there’s no easy way out Are you missing me, are you missing me now? We’re making small talk believin’ In a world we don’t know An energy so deceiving Stuck in silence somehow Are you missing me Cause I can’t figure it out Memory is ecstasy Am I missing you now? Your chasing fantasy And there’s no easy way out Are you missing me, are you missing me now? The silence is deafening In stereo sound The static is suffocating Like watching you drown Are you missing me Cause I can’t figure it out Memory is ecstasy Am I missing you now? Your chasing fantasy And there’s no easy way out Are you missing me, are you missing me now?

South of town I’ll watch it fold out Every night in front of me Can never turn around This life is laid out Left in memories or vacancy It’s a new scene, like a bad dream Paralyzed at the sight of it It’s a new scene, like a bad dream Paralyzed, I’m inside of it I’m waiting on you To let me in Try and slow down Everyone’s out Building houses for their families Change of pace now, it’s hard to grow up Making peace with reality It’s a new scene, like a bad dream Paralyzed at the sight of it It’s a new scene, like a bad dream Paralyzed, I’m inside of it I’m waiting on you to let me in I’m waiting on you to let me in

Stay Everything that moves is a bit wild Blame Shifted on the way to the northside If you’re ready Open up to something closer Soaked in Violet Words like colors Everchanging Lost like lovers Disengaging Change Hate to say it now, but it feels right Late Late to turn around at the sunrise If you’re ready Open up to something closer Soaked in Violet Words like colors Everchanging Lost like lovers Disengaging If you’re ready Open up to something closer Soaked in Violet Words like colors Everchanging Lost like lovers Disengaging

She thinks she’s ready for Conversations with a loose tie Corporate latency, in the corner with his shoes shined He, takes his coat and holds out his hand She’ll have the gin & tonic again It all feels so strange But you wouldn’t change She can’t turn away And say goodbye Broken underpass Late commuters with no way around Morning coffee cup Left forgotten on the countertop It all feels so strange But you wouldn’t change She can’t turn away And say goodbye Can’t turn away, can’t turn away (Did you fall in the waves?) This feels strange, lost in the waves Can’t turn away, can’t turn away (Were you even afraid?) This feels strange, lost in the waves Can’t turn away, can’t turn away (Was there no other way?) This feels strange, lost in the waves Can’t turn away, can’t turn away (But you wanted to stay) This feels strange, lost in the waves

Here I am again Another lonely Saturday Been a hell of a week Stuck on repeat Even if I am afraid Even if I always stand in my own way It’s so hard to break a mold When you’re standing for nothing I know In time, we grow Even if I run away Even if there’s ever nothing left to say Fit my heart into a mold and love for nothing I won’t In time, we grow It’s too soon, so wait a minute I’m told there’s a reason for this Take me to the safest ledge Feel something so outrageous Say nothings ever moving Everything can’t cease to grow I know

August Sun 03:55
Long nights Every season has its end But your gold skin Is still warm from the sun shining Softly, you’re keeping your words discrete and Honestly, I’d rather rain your parade on me but I’ll stay quiet now I’ll keep my head down Wait, it’s over We’re safe All the colors faded when they hit the ground If you can only see them now When the fame gets old I can wait But it’s getting cold You’re the siren in the autumn sounds When my August sun burns for you Cold days seem to have that summer haze I can’t wash away Still I try and see if you’re okay Wait, it’s over We’re safe All the colors faded when they hit the ground If you can only see them now When the fame gets old I can wait But it’s getting cold You’re the siren in the autumn sounds When my August sun burns for you Wait, it’s over We’re safe All the colors faded when they hit the ground If you can only see them now When the fame gets old I can wait But it’s getting cold You’re the siren in the autumn sounds When my August sun burns for you

Phillie's 03:50
Fake a half smile The usual while I wait it out Phillie’s at night Is it in your heart to stay awhile Awhile Waste away Cold coffee Time’s standing still It’s as lonely as it sounds, and I know it Remember old times Strangers slowly walking past But we were inside The love seat by the fogging glass Left early Skipped coffee Time’s standing still It’s as lonely as it sounds, and I know it

CANYOUFEELIT 03:36
Try, try and satisfy What you can’t seem to find Reminiscing old emotions Stand frozen in your place Stubborn in your ways Tearing down your slow devotion CAN YOU FEEL IT? Keep subtle entropy To hell with inner peace A way to blame it on tomorrow Will you ever let it go? Cause I heard you’re sorry... Will you ever let it go? CAN YOU FEEL IT? CAN YOU FEEL IT? Have you ever been more afraid? Have you ever been more in love?
