Broken Glass
02:54
|

|
Light me on fire
And let me burn
Smoke rolls hot by
Like an elevator
Floor to floor
Floor to floor
Back it up in reverse
Be the bigger shadow
Chorus:
Don't let
Don't let
Your shoes untie
Cause you'll trip
Don't give
Don't give
Up on this
Because we went in knowing our fate
Put down the cigarette
Stomp it til it unreds
Look at me with interest
Leave your jacket and your scarf
Back it up, out the door
I don't require this anymore
You're not my possession
Just a past, sinful confession

Broken Glass Part Two
01:26
|
|||
|
We were angels with clipped wings
Needles in a haystack
Broken glass in a pillow case
Being picked up by the sanitation men

(August 10th, 2018)
JAKE:
My dad is dead
Buried in the ground
Sphere in my head
Lost God in the sound
(Thanksgiving Eve 2018)
Stood at the desk
Despondent and broke
No air in my chest
Choking on the smoke
(Hook)
Intimacy
Death, epiphany
I want the reigns
I want the infamy
(December 12, 2018)
JAKE:
I just want success
And all the ribbons too
FRIEND IN THE DISTANCE:
And all the ribbons too…………...
JAKE:
I want to rest
In her arms tonight
But -she- won’t text back
I’m sick of my hand
FRIEND IN THE DISTANCE:
“Jake, please relax……………....”
OTHER DISTANT FRIEND:
“You gotta relax………”
JAKE:
“No, you don’t understand.”
FRIEND IN THE DISTANCE & OTHER DISTANT FRIEND:
“Guess I don’t understand…………..”
(Hook)
Intimacy
Death, epiphany
I want the reigns
I want the infamy x2

In Your Arms
04:53
|
|||
|
I’m here in your arms
I’m alive in your heart
What is left to lose?
When your world falls apart
I’m holding your hand
While your blood runs thin
Waiting for your tomb
Just a matter of when
I’m walking alone
Down Emmorton Road
Looking at the cars
Not wanting to go back home
Listening to the priest
Holding hands as a whole
“To you, O LORD
Lift up his soul”
