Poke Through 02:51
and as my world gets older, its placing more boulders on my shoulder now and judging by the sound, here comes the avalanche knocking me down throughout all the malicious phases and gazes the days they roll on kick it like a song, let the verse flow and sing it when the chorus comes on but sometimes it never does, so write your own ending ya must and yes i think i have the lust to make a great thing out of the dust and I feel it piling up it's enough, but somehow I will poke through and that's the same yearning, that yearns for me to keep learning about the things I love, about the things that I used to think of so this ones for the stragglers the lollygaggers learning shit while wasting their time, you don't have to be hunched over a desk all day to expand your mind Chorus and as my world gets older, its placing more boulders on my shoulder now and judging by the sound, here comes the avalanche knocking me down but, if you look to your left, on a good day you may catch me at my best just frolicking, acknowledging my skills that still need polishing, tryna push it sideways, but people keep demolishing it down, I found that as a child, everything was just a bit more mild we had the fight to see and the rhythm to breath.

Grace 03:04
I know where you get your clothes from Walk around at night and pick your scarf up off the ground Wrap it ‘round your cold neck One night you come to my doorstep Crying ‘bout your friend she let you down She’s in my bed now Hide yourself and ride yourself to heaven where you’ll find yourself and find a happy boy who is not me Hide yourself and ride yourself to heaven where you’ll find yourself and find a happy boy who is not me Do not find disgrace in burning trees across your face it’s burning your red lips and they no longer live Do not blame our sorrow on those who Borrow your happiness it brings you Down but not out Hide yourself and ride yourself to heaven where you’ll find yourself and find a happy boy who is not me Hide yourself and ride yourself to heaven where you’ll find yourself and find a happy boy who is not me Take yourself to a higher place Display your love on a shelf And find your own grace Sweet sound moves from ear to ear But it is seeping out my dear And your words no longer have meaning Hide yourself and ride yourself to heaven where you’ll find yourself and find a happy boy who is not me Hide yourself and ride yourself to heaven where you’ll find yourself and find a happy boy who is not me Hide yourself and ride yourself to heaven where you’ll find yourself and find a happy boy who is not me

if i were a snowman and i were to fall i'd lay on the pavement and have a ball at least for a while if the days get warm, i'd melt away in the drains i would play at least for a while i know i'm young, but i know the steps are never ending so i'm gonna laugh while i'm caught midway if i were a snowman and i were to fall i'd lay on the pavement, fall into a trance say fuck it let's dance so it seems there are no guarantees swing back, swing forward on this trapeze with no release i know i'm young, but i know the steps are never ending so i'm gonna laugh while i'm caught midway and i know i'm young, but i really can't see beginnings or endings so i'm gonna laugh while i'm caught midway

Juniper 05:26
Step on leaves so you don’t see them You are more impressed with the ones in my hand Laugh softly Juniper return to my head Handsome trees and handsome people I can finally ignore Talk to henry Make the word our chalkboard Draw our own world beneath our toes Dancing feet trace the cold Walk me through your world Pretend like we are growing old Inversion frees your colors Balance cures mine Red, yellow, blue, in our bodies Clear my mind, empty Sit by the stream Let our sticks, float underneath Yours comes second, mine first We both, we both, we both win Draw our own world beneath our toes Dancing feet trace the cold Walk me through your world Pretend like we are growing old We are growing old… Draw our own world beneath our toes Dancing feet trace the cold Walk me through your world Pretend like we are growing old Draw our own world beneath our toes Dancing feet trace the cold Walk me through your world Pretend like we are growing old We are growing old We are growing old
