Vessel

Am I just a vessel?
And what exactly does that mean?
Do I contain it?
Or does it contain me?
Am I your weapon?
A dagger you draw when you please?
Drop me back down on my knees
Tell me do you define me?
Perfect pairing, don’t you love it too?
You tint the mirror just for me
Me, existing relative to you
And you, perceiving what you want to see
Am i just a number?
Statistics lit up on a screen?
Maybe I’m another dollar
Stuffed In a pocket that’s lined with greed
Am I just a lesson?
Another one you’ll never learn?
I guess I’m just not the one to
Watch you get what you deserve
Perfect pairing, don’t you love it too?
You tint the mirror just for me
Me, existing relative to you
And you, perceiving what you want to see
Perfect pairing, don’t you love it too?
A tinted mirror, me and you
You, existing relative to me
And me, perceiving what I want in you
Perfect pairing, don’t you love it too?
You tint the mirror just for me
Me, existing relative to you
And you placebo what you want to see

Long Way Home

I think I couldn’t make you sorry
Even if I really tried
No doctor wants to treat an apple
All rotted up to the core inside
All my regrets, a reflective package
Wrapped up with a wooden bow
I am your favorite closed-door habit
So gimme one for the road
Long way home
Let me get just one more
One for the road
Last goodbye
Even though I’ll say it
A dozen more times
I waved goodbye in the bathroom mirror
It’s never pleasant when I’m seeing your face
Somebody said you’re just like me
I guess I never really saw it that way
My rearview’s on the kitchen counter
I know I need it but you need it more
And if you ever gaze into it
Blow me a kiss through the open door
Long way home
Let me get just one more
One for the road
Last goodbye
Even though I’ll say it
A dozen more times
One more goodbye
One more goodbye
One more goodbye
Can’t say goodbye
Can’t say goodbye
One last time
One more goodbye
One more goodbye
One more goodbye
But I can’t say goodbye
Can’t say goodbye
One last time
Long way home
Let me get just one more
One for the road
Last goodbye
Even though I’ll say it
A dozen more times
Long way home
Let me get just one more
One for the road
Last goodbye
Even though I said it
Like twenty more times

Lights Out
03:32

A wave back to the ocean, endlessly
Collapsing down and crashing, entropy
A gentle nothing whispers in my ear
“It’s okay, it’s not how it appears.”
Lights out
Lights out
Lights out
Lights out
The skies all drown; they’re puddles at my feet
One with it when it is one with me
Lights out

New Day

Brand new day
Still feel the same
A brand new form
Still sealed away
Wanna break the shell
And give em hell
Cocoons get torn
But it’s just as well
Hold me close
When
That I’m
Breaking loose
I need to hear the truth
And I never wanna go and now I’m
Trying hard to show you that I’m
Holding to this
Human vessel
Every day and every night
I’m burning free in golden light, it’s
New day, new form
Endless cycle
If I’m just a root
A route to the core
Can I be something else?
Maybe something more?
A change of pace
A slap in the face
Go against the grain
In a brand new place
Growth galore
But I shut that door
‘Cause I’m habit-bound
and habit-formed
A change of pace
A slap in the face
Metamorphosis
In a brand new space
Hold me close
When you tell me
That I’m
Breaking loose
I need to hear the truth
And I never wanna go and now I’m
Trying hard to show you that I’m
Holding to this
Human vessel
Every day and every night
I’m burning free in golden light, it’s
New day, new form
Endless cycle
Never wanna go and now I’m
Trying hard to show you that I’m
Holding to this
Human vessel
Every day and every night
I’m burning free in golden light, it’s
New day, new form
Endless cycle
New day, new form
End the cycle
New day, new form
Break the vessel
