Dot dot dot
I’ve been avoiding this piece of paper
I’ve been avoiding this talk about us
And here you are across from the table
Lift this curse
Forgoing this part of the process
Don’t get me wrong I know it’s for the best
You’ve been afraid to cut your losses and me to leave the nest
Now the showdown begins
The curtains will unveil
Whether you’re a warrior or if you will bail
The hindsight of the signs
Dot dot dot connecting all the lines
Fixated on your greys and my blues
Obligations shoulds and woulds and musts
The weight of them settled on my shoulder like dust
Encounters with spirits and creatures
Unsolicited advice about us
The flapping of a butterfly’s wings created a gust
Now the showdown begins
The curtains will unveil
Whether you’re a warrior or if you will bail
The hindsight of the signs
Dot dot dot connecting all the lines
Bridge:
In this final moment I surrender preach it
In this final moment I surrender preach it
You’re an old soul and elders make good teachers
I’ll hold my tongue now you’re on your own
Now the showdown begins
The curtains will unveil
Whether you’re a warrior or if you will bail
The hindsight of the signs
Dot dot dot connecting all the lines
Now the showdown begins
The curtains will unveil
Whether you’re a warrior or if you will bail
Whether you’re a warrior or if you will bail
Whether you’re a warrior or if you will bail
The hindsight of the signs
Dot dot dot connecting all the lines

Millionaire’s Insomnia
Can you find the Chevron sign in the ripples?
With your gaze can you trace the waves
As the flickering light in the distance looking near
And the old man in the distance looking young
It’s nice to go for a walk out in the dark
Cause itÙ’s nice out there’s no one outside
Looking at the North Shore mountains
Counting all the parked sea planes
Admiring the view
Through my double glass balcony door
Fetch yourself a blanket from the top shelf of the closet
Ooooooh
Better yet I’ll just curl up in bed
As the flickering light in the harbour flashing red
And the mirror in my room reflecting back
Counted two dozen seaplanes soar and land
But it’s night now there’s no one outside
Looking at the North Shore mountains
Counting all the parked sea planes
Admiring the view
Through my double glass balcony door
Looking at the North Shore mountains
Counting all the parked sea planes
Admiring the view Through my double glass balcony door

Highway 178
We were lost on our own tracks
Way out West
We wound up on the windiest of roads
Way off course
Our supply of water wouldn’t last the week
As we drove in silence from the source
I remember feeling safe and warm
In my winter boots
You asked me how long before we get there
I didn’t know
I’m so glad we didn’t take an alternate route
I’m so glad we slowed down for the views
I’m so glad we slowed down for the views
You held my hand as you drove
I couldn’t tell what you were thinking of
I felt your grip getting tight then let go
Two fools desperate for love
Two fools desperate for love
Soon the dark road led into a city
Oh so crowded
All the signs had seem to come together
I couldn’t hide
I remember the fog rolling in
You slowed down then you asked me if I knew which way to go
You asked me if I knew which way to go
You held my hand as you drove
I couldn’t tell what you were thinking of
I felt your grip getting tight then let go
Two fools desperate for love
Two fools desperate for love
You held my hand as you drove
I couldn’t tell what you were thinking of
I felt your grip getting tight then let go
Two fools desperate for love
Two fools desperate for love

Mount Shasta
Man in the sky tilts his head down
Asked the trees on the hill for a dance for a dance
Oh the birds wore their best gown
Lakes invited them in for a prance
Stars were hiding feeling kind of shy
Moonlight had the whole lit
Mountain felt it and watched over the land
Wait till the morning comes I’ll give you a hint
Trust it all
Trust the truth
Trust the pain trust the pain the refrain
Trust it all
Trust the truth
Trust the pain trust the pain the refrain
Trust your heart
Trust your gut
Trust your brain
Engine revving as a monster passed us over
Parked the car we turned into a town
Wide awake and you’re totally sober
Crystal lakes my doubts will surely drown
Trust it all
Trust the truth
Trust the pain trust the pain the refrain
Trust it all
Trust the truth
Trust the pain trust the pain the refrain
Trust your heart
Trust your gut
Trust your brain
That full moon was rising from below
Mount Shasta had snow up to the rim
Let’s keep driving I think I’ve seen enough
Let’s keep rolling till we’re running out of steam
Trust it all
Trust the truth
Trust the pain trust the pain the refrain
Trust it all
Trust the truth
Trust the pain trust the pain the refrain
Trust your heart
Trust your gut
Trust your brain

Obviously
It was 3 am when I saw your name repeated on the blue screen by my bed
I had to focus very hard to figure out what made you upset
It had been days had been years footsteps over same footprints
Finally occurred to me that day
Obviously I’m not being obvious enough!!!! Obviously
Obviously I’m not gonna spell it out for you!!!! Obviously
Thinking back I did it wrong opportunities were plenty
I had to sit down for a while to figure out I felt so empty
And lately I’ve been through a lot. Let’s not go and lose our cool love.
I know you like to act so tough
Obviously I’m not being obvious enough
Obviously
Obviously I’m not gonna spell it out for you
Obviously
Why can’t people read my mind
WHY WHY WHY
And act according to my plans
Why can’t my friends understand
WHY WHY WHY
That I’m having a tough time
Obviously I’m not being obvious enough
Obviously
Obviously I’m not gonna spell it out for you
Obviously

Greetings from Lesvos
Greetings from Lesvos aboard a rocking boat locked eyes looked away and float
Lest we meet on a crowded street racing through the cities beats Excuse me do you have the time?
For you my friend whole time in the world good time bad night morning afternoon
Join me for the twilight and the moon will you
Join me for the twilight and the moon?
Wind brings a friend into your life
Moonlight goes and changes the tide
At the hands of time we’ll surely realize
Whether it’s for a reason a reason or life
Greetings from Belfast beneath a gray sky
We barely said hello when it was time to bid goodbye
Found you again on a sunny day
This time around we both changed our plan to stay
Went through land and sea just to find you here
I will never forget you my dear
Excuse me do you have to go?
With you my dear anywhere in the world
Are you sure you have to leave so soon?
Join me for the twilight and the moon will you
Join me for the twilight and the moon?
Wind brings a friend into your life
Moonlight goes and changes the tide
At the hands of time we’ll surely realize
Whether it’s for a reason a reason or life
Maybe one day we just might tell our children of this night
That at the hands of time we’ll surely realize whether it’s for a reason a season or life

At All- Co-written with Lavendar Malin
A display of blinking lights so much energy spent in one night Same lonesome rooftop housing us a temple a mosque a blazing cross
stteples speak in days I can’t recall still feel the reumble of that last call I’m happy to be feeling at all Curtains closed like my
bones I found me a new bag of carrying stones Asked the darkness for a light my mistakes scuttle into sight relive words I’ve known
before each city takes a little more I’m happy to be learning at all I had a wrestle with the unknown waited on the platform till
the train was gone i got a tornado into a brawl found me a map and led to a wall I’m happpy to be receiving at all I’m happy to be
learning at all I’m happy to be feeling at all I’m happy to be receiving at all

Talking to myself
Why do I know the things I know?
Are people really this fuckin predictable?
A self-fulfilling prophecy, I’ll make it up for you
Why do I do the things I do?
Have I really never learned nothing at all?
I’m pulled in your direction, you’re irresisible
Darling, I think I just got scared again
I worked till I got the money for a ticket out of here
I felt completely unprepared
For the hurricane that hit the town when I stormed out of here
On that train
Train of thought
Have you got nowhere else to be
That to tangle up a spider’s net for me?
In this perfect web I’m wrapped up with you
I’ve thought of every word you’ve said
To take me out of my head and in your bed
I’m talking to myself, did you hear me too?
Darling, I think I just got scared again
I worked till I got the money for a ticket out of here
I felt completely unprepared
For the hurricane that hit the town when I stormed out of here
On that train
I’ve been practicing I should know
How to not let my feeling show
At least not to you
At least not to you
I’ve been practicing I should know
How to not let my feeling show
At least not to you
At least not to you
Darling, I think I just got scared again
I worked till I got the money for a ticket out of here
I felt completely unprepared
For the hurricane that hit the town when I stormed out of here
On that train
Darling, I think I just got scared again
I worked till I got the money for a ticket out of here
I felt completely unprepared
For the hurricane that hit the town when I stormed out of here
On that train

Magnificent
Let’s recap on today’s events
Rejoice about everything that happened
We may be weary, we may be tired
Mostly cause of everything that’s happened
Your cheeks are rosey your heart is racing
There may have been a few moments of silence
Riptides closing in rapidly
We were already cold didn’t take offense
We were already cold didn’t take offense
I surrender to the wisdom of a feeling
As we laugh about the saddest part of our lives
Maybe we’re not meant to find the meaning
Of how eternity’s supposed to last
You’re about ready for a change
As I desperately try to grasp
To the heroes turned demon at the end of the page
Seems we’re both consumed ounce by ounce
But today is different No one left to bother us here
Our battery’s dead anyways cause we took too many pictures it appears
The sun went down Over that tipping point out west
And a godly shade of gold Caught in your derriere
You are magnificent And you my friend are worthy of the best
Carried yourself with grace as we fumbled through the stairs
And we cackled even louder about the stranger’s noise complaints
We went through all the wine so we switched to hand-rolled davidoffs
Climbed trees picking limes neglecting the urgency to pack our stuff
You left late and in a hurry, my poor head must have felt like fifty kilos
I will forever cherish our soiree and I’m face down grinning in my pillow
I will forever cherish our soiree and I will talk with you later today
I surrender to the wisdom of a feeling
As we laugh about the saddest part of our lives
Maybe we’re not meant to find the meaning
Of how eternity’s supposed to last
You’re about ready for a change
As I desperately try to grasp
To the heroes turned demon at the end of the page
Seems we’re both consumed ounce by ounce
But today is different No one left to bother us here
Our battery’s dead anyways cause we took too many pictures it appears
The sun went down Over that tipping point out west
And a godly shade of gold Caught in your derriere
You are magnificent And you my friend are worthy of the best
