Open Up
02:20

Open up, love, can't you see? There's a hole in you and me
At the bottom, we can meet and find the light
You can look for it out there, find the meaning everywhere
But you've got to close your eyes to find your sight
The great ones, oh, found the feeling in their toes
Brought it tingling past the corners of their lungs
And it pulses through your veins, see your thoughts are not your brain
And your spirit still would speak without your tongue
In the garden, in the sun, with no time, the only one
Would you tire of your lonesome, lovely days?
Would your body split in two, so your me could have a you?
Would you trade the easy meadow for a maze?
The lost ones, oh, doing life without parole
No escaping from the surface of the days (daze)
Till you dig down deep below, to the center of her soul
But remember it gets cold before the blaze
The great ones, oh, found the feeling in their toes
Brought it tingling past the corners of their lungs
And it pulses through your veins, see your thoughts are not your brain
And your spirit still would speak without your tongue
And your spirit still would speak without your tongue

I Am the Desert

I am the desert, you are a glass of water
I am unwanting, you are desire’s daughter
I am the haunting, you are a cheap imposter
I am unbending, you are a copper wire
I am unending, you are the passing time
I am the message, you are a tired runner
Oh was my first mistake to let you in and seal our fate
I was a wisher then, I always loved, I always have been
What they took me for when I was waiting at your door
I was a goner then, I always loved, I always have been
I always have been
I always have been
I always have been
I am the first day, you are a ticking clock
I am the mountain, you are a hollow log
I am the bottom, you are an empty bottle
Oh let them wander in, convince them they are filled with sin
Drain fast the wishing well, and pull them deeper into your hell
Was my first mistake to let you in and seal our fate
I was a goner then, I always loved, I always have been
I always have been
I always have been
I always have been
Oh was my first mistake to let you in and seal our fate
I was a wisher then, I always loved, I always have been
What they took me for when I was waiting at your door
I was a goner then, I always loved, I always have been
I always have been
I always have been
I always have been

When I Was Young
03:32

When I was young I did not think
I would become cold, tired, and mean
But I have lost whole parts of me
I did not think would ever leave
When I had lungs I tried to breathe
I was sure someone needed me
But I have lost those hard-earned fears
Left you alone so I could bleed
And I lied when I said that you could hold me
I tried letting go of what you’d done
But my pride kept me harder than an oak tree
And I’ll bend to the wind but not the
Son of a rich man takin’ his time
You pull yourself apart just to prove that you’re fine
When I was young I did not think
I would become cold, tired, and mean
But I have lost whole parts of me
I did not think would ever leave
And I cried, I walked, you turned me up
And I tried, but you stopped
If that’s it, huh, it ain’t enough
And I lied when I said that you could hold me
I tried letting go of what you’d done
But my pride kept me harder than an oak tree
And I’ll bend to the wind but not the
Son of a rich man takin’ his time
You pull yourself apart just to prove that you’re fine
Son of a bitch with a rock in his eye
You pull yourself apart just to prove that you’re fine
