[You'll be okay
It's just your brain, not your heart]
The way those eyes glowed in the dawn, upside down on a couch
Watching films about killers
I didn't have to be strong man or a graduate
It was enough to be nothing
So let me fall into the arms of whoever's still around
We can hide away in mornings filled with indigo
From whatever force makes us uglier or angrier
And let J's whisper carry on
You'll be okay; it's just your brain, not your heart
You'll be okay; it's just your brain, not your fault

Special Skeletons

I kept a picture to show that we were something else
We were something special
Terrified of the demons hiding in our neighborhood
People are turning into something they're not
Blame it on the moon
Or the next generation, but I won't
We'll hide away on our rooftops, while monsters talk the end of the world
Into existence, but I won't
For all that we've learned, I think we forgot it all-- just
Just shrug it off, we'll meet halfway-- we'll be
Faking parts of every little talk
Say we don't have to have ourselves figured out
To stay strong; we'll never die with our holy bones

Baltimore (Cora)

Go on, move to Baltimore
Tell me that the ocean has kept you safe
From all the toxins back home
The boys and all the things I'd never known
All the wasted days on all those angry songs
I'm just so scared of the rentals of love,
Fleeting friendships, and the end of the world
But no-no-no, I'll turn it around
[Cora!]
I'm putting flowers in my hair and sending signals out to space
'Someone loves you, someone loves you'
[Cora!]
Let's throw paint on every picture, make a storm of every note
And all the blame that I wrote
I think I finally get it, those rapid firing thoughts that make us
Super quiet, but if I see you again
I'll talk up an ocean to put between us and them
Then I'll swim away to keep you safe from the memories I bring with me
You'll never know, I'll be a satellite sending hope
The only hope I know
[Cora!]
I thought I could catch you falling from a tower made of my words
But I'm no hero, I'm no poet
[Cora!]
The past is heaven and the future's the apocalypse
So I'm trying to stay present
I promise I'm trying to stay present

It's been a while since you stopped by
It seems like yesterday, would you still recognize my voice?
Or my smile? We took so much for granted
Now I'm stuck in the past with denial
And as each day passes by, so do I
From a life froze in time-- we never thought about it
What does the future hold for us? Will we fit in or fall apart?
It's so easy to stay in touch, but staying close is impossible
Can we pick up where we left off, or are we doomed with awkward conversation?
Do you think that it's possible? Do you think that it's possible?
It's been a while
We'll work it out-- in d-d-due time, we'll work it out
We can talk about what's new, what's old
Or all the in-betweens, the scenes away from home
And now I wonder how things would be if they went differently for us
I just can't help but think that it has been
It's been a while since you've come around

Who's gonna keep my skeleton warm when my soul is a star
Lighting up a horizon somewhere?
Another world, where no one talks or starts up wars about nothing
[Holy Moly!] Everybody to the walk-back bop to the sound of the planet
Implo-o-o-ding into no-o-o-thing but the things we kept to ourselves
I'm afraid; I'm unafraid
I'm somewhere else in time
I'll feel the sun; I'll make someone
Someone else proud of me
I don't want your stonefaced good vibes or cigarettes
'Cause I've been stuck in my head, and dammit I needed you to be there
And be real for once to help me escape it
Already tried to act like your art school friends; I tried to be a statue
Tried to pretend to be dead and unafraid
But do you really feel so cool when you act like you don't care about anything? When I know you're hiding everything
I'll trade your talk-to-the-hand for a heart on a sleeve
A swing between the moon and the sun
A little too much over nothing at all
A new friend to help me fight this supernova
'Cause I've been feeling the sun
It's a sign there's something--oh
Something in these bones worth the time and medication

It's been cold, and as it keeps getting colder
We've been getting older so there's nothing left to lose
I can't let the thought of her melt away
'Cause I've been trying to hold on
But before these memories start to fade
I'll try my best, stick to the plan-- no matter
No matter how crazy it may seem
So hey Mr. Snowplow Man, could you just hold off an hour or two
'Cause I need more time before you clear these thoughts away
I'll put up with this cold front, all this change, this cold shoulder
'Cause I'd like to think that we'll find each other again some day
She'll write her name and I'll write 'I love you' in hopes
That we'll remember each other
Hey Mr. Snowplow Man, could you just hold off an hour or two
'Cause I need more time
Hey Mr. Snowplow Man, could you just hold off an hour or two
'Cause I have real big plans, real big plans

All Kids Outta The Pool

Put your mask away, you're no god
You're no saint, you're just bitter
And your politics became your Jesus
Who told you to back into the corner
With your guns, ready to say 'I'm not racist, but--'
'I'm not sexist, but-- there's no way this apocalypse is my fault'
Are you scared that your perfect little world got a little more colorful?
Or are you gonna make it hell?
Will you wake up? You're only living for yourself
But when the tables turn on your head,
You'll wave your white flag in surrender
All kids outta the pool
It's their turn to drown in all the bullshit they put us through
All kids outta the pool
It's their turn to shut their mouths while we clean up the mess they made up
All kids outta the pool

Stardust In The Pocket

The sun met your purple baseball cap at 6 a.m. on the rooftop
Where we'd write out every promise and plan
Away from your dorm room prison cell
Forget me when the dust of what-could-have-been
Settles to the ground, but it'll never so you'll never walk alone
It was no one's fault
I won't let them paint whatever they want
Acrylic realities from plastic words
It's not brave, I wanna be brave enough to be wrong
So help me flake, I wanna flake on what I should have said
Should've said it out loud
'Would you save me? 'Cause I just can't save myself
I can't save myself'
Well, I know I'm so forgettable when I remember you so well
You've got the best of me in your pocket and so I tell myself
I say, 'With every friend spread across the nation
Drop a pinpoint down, we make a constellation
With every friend spread across the nation
Drop a pinpoint down, we make a constellation'

Rain, rain, please go away
I need some sun so god damn bad today
To clear out my head
As time keeps on going by
I just can't seem to get you off my mind
And out of my head
There's no need to be scared
And if you're not a fighter, you don't have to fight
It's hard to be brave here, but maybe we'll be brave enough
When we're together
Who told you to fall in love
And who made you steal the sky?
The sky and my heart
'Cause I feel you when I look up
Always the reason to keep looking up
Always a song in my heart for you
If there's no need to be scared,
And if I'm not a fighter, why am I fighting this?
We're both scared, but maybe brave enough
To keep on when we're together
And it'll get better

I made a home hiding out in the bathroom with all
My notebooks and some bottles of something
'Cause now I don't trust anyone or anything
Even the mirror or my own thoughts
I can't even trust my own thoughts
Well, I fit the Frankenstein mold
Every piece of me a part of everyone I've ever loved
So go take the strings that hold me up
Take my clothes, take my words
I don't need them, anymore
You do you, I just thought you were different from the world
So don't say it's simply 'I loved you, now I don't'
And now it's on me just to get up and move on
I wish it were simple
And I wish you were just another human
It'd be easier for me to know that I'm just another human
And not so out-of-place around everyone
Too aware of myself, when it felt like we were something else
Something that mattered

[Been running through my mind so much I know ya legs hurt
Try to keep myself occupied, but shit it don't work
Stalking your Instagram been waiting for that text back
Saying you want me back, but I know I'm not getting that
There's no way she's forgiving me, immature is the way I act
You struck me out with ease the last time I was up at bat
So now I go to sleep alone, not many hours too distracted from my phone
Still hoping for that text, used to act like I didn't care, it was dishonest jest
I tried my best, but I'm a mess, my heart fell out my chest
I'm almost out of breath, you gave me so much life
Feel like I have none left]
It's keeping me up late at night knowing that you're up late tonight
Wrapped up in his sheets and not mine
And I just want to hold your hand, hear your voice
Is that so bad? I just want to know you're doing fine
I keep waking up
[To the sound of your soul walking out
Yesterday, I got too used to yesterday
And now it's all I think about]
[It's all I think about
You're all I think about]

I swear I'm learning how to fight back, are you trying to do the same?
If you have to walk alone, just know
When your head floats in a fog, and you don't know where you are
Find this song-- find me
I've been saving money to fly out to witness
The mountains make you a home
Soon enough, we'll be screaming poems from peak-to-peak
To fight all the voices from years ago
They'll never know
Let's buy every memory so we can watch them together
And you can rediscover us, color the sky with
Crayons hidden somewhere in your car
Somewhwre in a dream, somewhere more secure
In my room with your artwork on the wall
The evergreens remind me that you are forever
Even when you feel like you're gone
You're not gone
I've been running out of words just to say that things get better
But I swear that things get better
I swear that things get better
Will you ever know?
