The sun's shining through my bedroom window onto the door

Leaving behind a band of orange light so vibrant

It turned the space around it into a pale blue

Sort of like the bottom of a swimming pool

Split tiles and all

A timelapse of a sunflower

Searching the room for lukewarm light

It's almost alien as it highlights the door handle

As if I need it for something

Windshield wipers ain't got shit on me

Hit me as hard as you like

There's bodies on the glass

You have been moving side to side

It's coming down real hard, oh

And I swear to god I saw your car drive down my street

That, or they made another one

The rivers down the sidewalks have the sewers overrun

It's coming down real hard, oh, oh

And I'm having trouble sleeping

I doubt it's hard to tell

It's only up from here

It's only up from here

And I sent too many messages

I hope they found you well

It's only up from here

It's only up from here

Small talk feels a lot like cable news

It's so repetitive, morose

The politicians, wet conditions

"Man the game last night was close"

It's getting pretty dark, oh

One day when I run into you in supermarket aisle

And I ask about your day

It's only a formality in what you're gonna say

It's getting pretty dark, oh, oh

And I'm having trouble sleeping

I doubt it's hard to tell

It's only up from here

It's only up from here

And I sent too many messages

I hope they found you well

It's only up from here

It's only up from here

The weather started breathing

The power lines all fell

It's only up from here

It's only up from here

And I know it's been while

I hope you're doing well

It's only up from here

It's only up from here

Car ride home

Quiet cold, lost in space

Lie alone

Under cover, out of place

It's like you said

I'm tired of the evening light

Blinding red

You're the only one I wanna see tonight

Breaking down

Halfway up the interstate

All around

The fragments of a dinner plate

As the white turns red

I'll try to stay awake somehow

Open my eyes again

But I don't think I want to look right now

My eyelids weigh a hundred pounds

It takes a lot just to look around

I don't how much I have missed

But I know I can't live like this

Gift shop shirts with stolen fiction works

Celebrate your derelict location

City state vanity license plate

Overstocked and lacking ventilation

Children's novels and soda bottles

Not for individual sale

And neon bracelets on first name basis

Finger through the rows to no avail

And now buried in the darkness of your walk-in closet

It's sought after nostalgia for a cash deposit

Redesigned by moths who like it more than you

If not for them, you'd have sworn that you would wear it

But oh well

Hard to see through the glare of the morning

Yellow lines on the ground under fog dark gray

Take a walk in the park by the ocean

A concrete path by the tidal waves

A total lack of emotion

It's apathy and erosion

So don't be surprised

When we're all beachfront someday

Lately I've been starting to wonder

Maybe it's our fault Atlantis sank

They don't want to be discovered

It's the ocean floor or aquarium tanks

And I'm sure I know

Where I'd like to go

And either way

We'll all be down there someday

An evergreen branch is thrown across a city street

The rest of his friends are several blocks away

The smell in the air of petrichor and gasoline

It seems Mother Nature has some words to say

And when the sun alights on all your work

Through eye of storm above

We didn't want reminder, no, the carnage is enough

Bringing the world through second-storey tempering

The feeling of safety has begun to pass

A parking garage redecorated, wavering

A beautiful glade adorned with broken glass

Lying down

Watch the Perseids as they're approaching

Solid ground

Watercolour trails behind

All around

An orchestra of engineering

Coming down

To rubble in a forest clearing

Forest clearing 

I haven't read a thing in some time

The spine ain't all it's cracked up to be

And I don't know why I still think it's alright

To never be the one to see it through

I'm overdue

So hi

I don't know what I should say next

In times like this I've never been the best

But lately I've had trouble getting rest

But you seem like

You're a little preoccupied

Maybe you're on my mind

But maybe we'll try some other time

Tonight, maybe it's all alright

I've never been alright

I've never been alright

And living all alone

The shadows come alive

And everything I own

Is never quite right

If you're listening above

I'm praying for a light

For a light

(original by Imogen Heap)

Where are we

What the hell is going on

The dust has only just begun to form

Crop circles in the carpet

Sinking, feeling

Spin me round again

And rub my eyes

This can't be happening

When busy streets

A mess with people would stop to hold

Their hands heavy

Hide and seek

Trains and sewing machines

All those years

They were here first

Oily marks appear on walls

Where pleasure moments hung

Before the takeover

The sweeping insensitivity of this still life

Hide and seek

Trains and sewing machines

You won't catch me around here

Blood and tears

They were here first

Mm, what'd you say

Mm, that you only meant well

Well of course you did

Mm, what'd you say

Mm, that it's all for the best

Of course it is

Mm, what'd you say

Mm, that it's just what we need

You decided this

Mm, what'd you say

Oh, what did she say

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth

And sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you

You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit

(Hide and seek)

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth

And sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you

You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit

(You don't care a bit, oh, no)

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth

And sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you

You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit

You don't care a bit
