The weight of water in the air is oppressive. Apathy sets in; Apathy takes hold. I miss you. Why do you love me? Whisper to my heart, to my soul, to me That you love me, And let that take hold.

When will I be forgiven for past mistakes? When will I be given a fresh page? Look at me. You see all that I've done wrong. But look at me. You forget that I am young. When will I be forgiven for past mistakes? When will I be given a fresh page? When will I be forgiven for past mistakes? When will I be given a fresh page? Forgive me. Forgive and forget. Forgive me. Don't give me your old regrets. When will I be forgiven for past mistakes? When will I be given a fresh page? (x4)

A Good Man 03:17
I’m wearing your grandmother’s watch I imagine you’re in class too Perhaps you’re thinking of my curly hair I’m singing “I Only Wear Blue.” I’m missing you worse each damn day You’re hidden throughout this damn town Every damn place that reminds me Kinda hope this is bringing you down Kinda hope that you can’t move on It’s selfish; I can’t make myself mind I want us both hurting and falling down hard Both helplessly gazing behind I drive by your house every chance that I get I slow down and wish from the street Wish all the shit weren’t the shit that it is Days and nights I wish we could repeat This is me I am here This is now We shared space We share time, we share time Two hearts on two thin lines That cross somewhere behind us (2x) You’re a good man, I’ve known it for years. I pray, and I pray, and I pray And pray that you know it like I do I pray, and I pray, and I pray I know what I want, and I know what’s right I don’t guess I know you anymore Are you all alone like I’m feeling alone? Are you dying like I am to go home? You’re a good man, I’ve known it for years. I pray, and I pray, and I pray

In a place where you say goodbye Nobody wants to say die All of the waiting tears families apart Hoping to harvest hearts Survival only means one year The word we all die to hear The shows are lies Patients die There's no cure for death these days Humans leave Without finding peace Nobody tells them not to treat In a place where you often goodbye Nobody wants to say die All of the waiting tears families apart Hoping to harvest hearts We all have to suffer We all have a fate Go forth and alleviate Relax, release, and be at peace In a place where you say goodbye All of the waiting tears families apart Hoping to harvest hearts

I was running down Lamar toward Enfield Listening to Bon Iver It was an Austin kind of morning all inside me Potential waiting in the air Because the world's been weighing heavy on my shoulders And my sins weighing heavy on my heart So heavy that it makes it impossible to stay awake And face the battles on the rampart So I lean and rely and depend on you And I trust that you will bring out of myself In the summer time campus feels deserted And the heat would kill a lesser man The loneliness sneaks into my subconscious Once again it's getting hard to stand Because the world's been weighing heavy on my shoulders And my sins weighing heavy on my heart So heavy that it makes it impossible to stay awake And face the battles on the rampart So I lean and rely and depend on you And I trust that you will bring me out of myself Oh ask me how I reconcile Cynicism and faith (2x) Or where I am and where I'm going (2x) So I lean and rely and depend on you And I trust that you will bring me out of myself (2x)

Waiting 02:17
I'm waiting Waiting for him to go waiting to say goodbye I'm waiting I'm sitting And it's hard I don't want, to but I'm sitting I was queen of this bed, but it's cold now and lonely Don't move, don't move, don't move on I'm waiting I'm sitting, people come and they go I'm sitting I'm waiting, and they're moving like water, but I'm waiting I was queen of this bed, but it's cold now and lonely Don't move, don't move, don't move on I'm waiting I'm waiting I don't know when your leaving, but I'm waiting I was queen of this bed, but I'm cold now and lonely Don't move, don't move, don't move

Kinsolving 03:08
Live here, Learn here, Eat, and Rest here. No one laughs alone; No one cries alone. Share here, Grow here, Hold on, and Rest here. No one laughs alone; No one cries alone. An indelible mark On all of our hearts-- You've all left your mark On my heart.

It feels like Hell's broke loose All over my head and hands. You're never overwhelmed Supplying my growing demands. I'm feeling lonely, lonely; Wish I'd never learned your name. We've come a long way, There’s still a long way to go. I can't take here, Can't take now-- Take my broken self I can’t take day, Can’t take night-- Take my broken self Can’t take myself, Take myself, Take my broken self. It feels like Hell's broke loose All over my head and hands. You're never overwhelmed Supplying my growing demands. I'm feeling lonely, lonely; Wish I'd never learned your name.

Vessels 03:22
I am a round vessel— Empty, save for Thin coat of anger Covering inside Covering inside And drops of Sadness, self-loathing Pooling in the bottom. I need faith, light me, Grace, clean me Love, fill me. (4x) I feel like a vessel of poison. I want to be for drinking.
12.
Sit on your rooftop Survey our domain All six thousand miles Of what we've claimed Right now I'm so lonesome Oh I just might cry. You bring home the money, But I want you're time. You take it slow, but I can't hesitate. What is our fate? We cannot know in summer's crawl Waiting for fall, For the future. All five years to date, I would not change A single thing. I'm out of my mind, You take your time. I'm waiting by Enjoying the ride. (3x)
