Let's just forget Everything said Everything we did Best friends and better halves Goodbyes And the autumn night when we realized We were falling out of love (There were some things that were said that weren't meant) But we never did Not to be Overly dramatic I just think it's best 'Cause you can't miss what you forget So lets just pretend Everything and Anything between you and me Was never meant

This much delight, fills columns to new heights All these things about me you never can tell Colors run prime, paint a picture so bright All these things about me you never can tell You make me sleep so badly invisible friend Turn the dial on my words I can feel they fall short Turn the dial, chime alarm, chime alarm Watch these hands move apart Turn the dial on my words I can see you staying here Fierce steps shadow, life's will gone shallow All these things about me you never can tell You make me sleep so badly, invisible friend You make me sleep so badly, invisible friend You make me sleep so badly, invisible friend Turn the dial on my words I can feel they fall short Turn the dial, chime alarm, chime alarm Watch these hands move apart Turn the dial on my words I can see you staying here

I draw a line in my life Singing this is the new way I behave now And actually live by the shape of that sound Circle in the back of my throat Spinning in my head and on my pillow Telling you things you don't need to know Letting you know I trust you so much Then I'm looking at you through the lights A circle blinking in the tungsten Wondering how I seem to you Forgetting the words I'm singing for you Am I forgetting how it felt? You were sleeping with your rings on (rings on) Cardinal wings in the early morning Waking up to a metaphor forming I draw a line in my skin I'm pinning down inchoate meaning Mark me right below the ampersand Perforate line dry summer on my own land Then it circulates around town Do I double down because I'm stubborn? The needle on the phonographic sound You're digging it up as soon as it's drawn down Am I forgetting how it felt? If you sing along do I remember? Mark this feeling in the simplest shape Let me finally let it fall away Away

We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment We are choosing to be here, right now Hold on, stay inside This holy reality This holy experience Choosing to be here in This body, this body holding me Be my reminder here that I am not alone in This body, this body holding me Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion Alive, I In this holy reality In this holy experience Choosing to be here in This body, this body holding me Be my reminder here that I am not alone in This body, this body holding me Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion Twirling round with this familiar parable Spinning, weaving round each new experience Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing The chance to be alive and breathing This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality Embrace this moment, remember We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion

Stay in the shadows Cheer at the gallows This is a round up This is a low flying panic attack Sing a song on the jukebox that goes Burn the witch Burn the witch We know where you live Red crosses on wooden doors And if you float you burn Loose talk around tables Abandon all reason Avoid all eye contact Do not react Shoot the messengers This is a low flying panic attack Sing the song of sixpence that goes Burn the witch Burn the witch We know where you live We know where you live

I'm floating down a river Oars freed from their homes long ago Lying face up on the floor Of my vessel I marvel at the stars And feel my heart overflow Further down the river Further down the river Further down the river Further down the river Two weeks without my lover I'm in this boat alone Floating down a river named emotion Will I make it back to shore? Or drift into the unknown Further down the river Further down the river Further down the river Further down the river I'm building an antenna Transmissions will be sent When I am through Maybe we can meet again Further down the river And share what we both discovered Then revel in the view Further down the river Further down the river Further down the river Further down the river I'm floating down a river I'm floating down a river I'm floating down a river I'm floating down a river I'm floating down a river I'm floating down a river I'm floating down a river I'm floating down a river
