on that predetermined day
i see you a block away
without you seeing me behind approaching
gradually i’m speeding up
and then when i’m close enough ill jump
and hope that i don’t break anything and i freeze in place
for a moment just a moment
tap a hoof and hear the sound
to make sure were back on solid foundations
i’ve seen too many crumble that way
took a short date with ikea
but it never seemed to me that
what i needed was someone by my side
erasing shadows from the corner of my eye
i'm feeling anxious but i don't wanna leave tonight
i left every other night
i need this for me alright
given everything we are
did you ever think we make it this far
i guess its been a bit on my mind lately
ill check in with every breath
a orpheus too mortified of death
to see that we’re still alive and fine mistaken
erasing shadows from the corner of my eye
i'm feeling reckless but i don't wanna start a fight
i don’t want to start a fight
i'm too scared to start a fight

posters and reels
brought over the mountains, the valleys, the fields
to paste a part of myself onto this brother-less room
somewhere outside
theres a city that sparkles with ten thousand fires at night
just a short flight away from you
and i'd believe everything could come true
if only i knew nothing was fading
and nothing was lost as we danced to the steps
i was so sure i forgot
quiet evening
i still can't find words to prevent you from leaving so soon
oh your tune, it surrounds you
somewhere inside
theres affection i'm trying to coax out of hiding, it's tough
and i'm scared, but that's what it takes if i want to prove
myself at all
and i'd believe everything could come true
if only i knew nothing was fading
and nothing was lost as we danced to the steps
i was so sure i forgot

hear you breathe

my tongue has frozen solid
though i know every word of this song
that we used to sing along
and the chill spreads deeper every mile
and i want to put a coat on
every time you say “when i’m gone”
and i know it hurts to speak
of something so frightening as leaving
so don’t spend your energy trying to bleed poetry
swan songs are always the hardest to sing
i don’t want to bring the future into a spot that i can see
i just want some time to sleep with everything hidden from me
i don’t want to feel like like every second now
is worth more than what it used to be
you don’t have to talk, i only want to hear you breathe
there are some words that i would say
if i was a little stronger
though i don’t have much time to ponder
if somehow i could, id make this road
a couple hundred miles longer
but I know we both have to be somewhere
and i know it hurts to speak
of something so frightening as leaving
so don’t spend your energy trying to bleed poetry
swan songs are always the hardest to sing
i don’t want to bring the future into a spot that i can see
i just want some time to sleep with everything hidden from me
i don’t want to feel like like every second now
is worth more than what it used to be
you don’t have to talk, i only want to hear you breathe

after how many years the sun has come to set
upon that bond between us all but really ever since we’ve met
i’ve felt my presence was something to defend
and so i really don’t care this is the end
spent too many nights on the other side of the same old wooden fence
wondering if early on i blew some kind of chance
to truly bond and be a closer friend
oh i'm never gonna fall that hard again
i know you guys are out this evening, one final song and dance tonight
and i could beg to tag along but it’s alright
you’ve made it clear, you don’t have to hide your intent
cause we’re no longer kids so don’t pretend
so ill slip out, another pick you’ll never find
bounce out of sight, out of proximity and mind
so no more chances to blow, no more bonds left to mend
i wont intrude in your backyard again
and when one day you ask me how I’m doing
‘haven’t spoke at all this year’
wondering why I’ve been reclusive
well i’m not, i’ve found my peers
and i’m faring much better over here

i will try to, through heavy sleeping
get through my obstacles by passing in between them
til we're inconsolable again
the time is right to wait my friend
and i expect to misplace the feeling
purest incompetence, eventually i'll leave, then
so desperate i won't pretend
that i have grades left to defend

found this album soon after release through a friend and word-of-mouth on twitter, and was pleasantly surprised. really glad i found this album, as i've gotten to talk to so many cool people involved in the keep it together community because of it, and even got to speak with jake directly to work on some merch. maybe i'm biased because of that, but this album is great and is well worth a listen. kit 4 ever!!!
