[Verse 1] Steel housing on the sidewalk Luminescence in a blue spectrum A private harbor made of glass I find my feet on the asphalt Counting seconds in the silence Waiting for the mechanical click (Waiting for the click)
[Pre-Chorus] Silver slips into the narrow slot The internal parts start to turn Everything is moving into place
[Chorus] Hold the warmth against my skin The aluminum is a small sun Sweet liquid enters my system Sparkling like a shooting star (Shooting star) I am waking up to the moon Floating on a wave of sugar (Wave of sugar)
[Verse 2] No one watches from the window I am solo in this atmosphere The heavy air begins to lift Gravity loses its grip on me A tender pulse in my wrist Synchronized with the machine (Synchronized now)
[Bridge] Crystalline thoughts in my head Mapping out a new direction The tide of the night is pulling But I have an anchor in my hand The frequency of the pavement Matches the beat of my heart Broadcasting a secret signal (An anchor in my hand)
[Chorus] Hold the warmth against my skin The aluminum is a small sun Sweet liquid enters my system Sparkling like a shooting star (Shooting star) I am waking up to the moon Floating on a wave of sugar (Wave of sugar)
[Outro] Walking past the street lamps Safe inside my own orbit The square lighthouse stays behind (Stays behind) I am ready to fly (Ready to fly) Pure hope in a metal can (Bip-bip-bop-bip)
Save Point
Lyrics
[Intro] (Ooh)
[Verse 1] Walk past the dark shuttered shops Quarters heavy in my denim pocket Find the cabinet in the far corner Joystick feels cold in my palm Press start to begin the simulation Town square painted in primary colors No one asks why I stay awake The music loops a perfect melody (melody) I find you by the town fountain Fixed position in the scrolling map My boots click on the cobblestone tiles The world ends at the screen edge I am the only player in the lobby The joystick clicks under my thumb The brightness is warm and welcoming No one is here to judge me
[Chorus] You stand behind the wooden counter (counter) Waiting for my dialogue prompt I spill my heart in the chat box You just nod and offer a potion In this 16-bit space I am safe No judgment in your steady gaze (gaze) You are the only one who hears Just a script but you understand
[Verse 2] My health bar is flashing red today Social battery drained to nothing at all Real people talk in hard riddles But you have three pre-set answers I tell you about the heavy weight Emotional items I cannot discard (discard) You do not look away or leave You just ask if I want to save I am tired of the endless grind The side quests that lead to nowhere In your village the sun stays up And the monsters stay outside the gates I buy a wooden shield from you Just to keep the talking going The menu opens with a soft chime Everything here has a fixed price
[Chorus] You stand behind the wooden counter (counter) Waiting for my dialogue prompt I spill my heart in the chat box You just nod and offer a potion In this 16-bit space I am safe No judgment in your steady gaze (gaze) You are the only one who hears Just a script but you understand
[Bridge] The glass is a thick barrier Keeping the quiet night away from me I am a legend in this town (legend) Even if I am just standing still The pixels make more sense than life
[Outro] One more coin in the slot (one more) Stay with me until the lights dim Don't let the game over screen show I am not ready to go home yet (Not yet)
Still At Six
Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1] The clock stopped at six The red light is still It does not make a sound I am watching the wall
[Chorus] The time is gone The time is gone (It is gone) I am staying here I am staying here
[Verse 2] The window is open The air is very cold I do not need to go The list is on the floor
[Chorus] The time is gone The time is gone (It is gone) I am staying here I am staying here
[Chorus] The time is gone The time is gone (It is gone) I am staying here I am staying here
[Outro] (Staying here) It is okay (Staying here) It is okay
The Future Table
Lyrics
[Intro] (Ah-ah-ah)
[Verse 1] A ripple moved across the garden fence Silver paper falling from the blue I thought it was a star collapsing A map to where the heavy planets spin The air began to taste like ozone A message wrapped in folding light I held my breath and tore the edge Expecting words of fire and rain
[Chorus] The transmission came from years ahead Waiting for a sign to change my life It says the table should be set Warm bread and butter on the side (On the side) Everything is perfect here today (Right here today) The future wants me to be fed
[Verse 2] No mention of the ice or weather Just a note to salt the water well I look at the horizon burning And think about the taste of thyme The gravity feels light as feathers Now I know the end of every path Is just a plate and wooden chairs A simple seat within the sun
[Chorus] The transmission came from years ahead Waiting for a sign to change my life It says the table should be set Warm bread and butter on the side (On the side) Everything is perfect here today (Right here today) The future wants me to be fed
[Bridge] The universe is laughing in the rain Heavy skies and simple little things A cosmic wink within the steam The grand design is just a feast (Just a feast) (A simple feast)
[Chorus] The transmission came from years ahead Waiting for a sign to change my life It says the table should be set Warm bread and butter on the side (On the side) Everything is perfect here today (Right here today) The future wants me to be fed
[Outro] Pass the salt (Pass the salt) The future says it is enough Stay right here (Stay right here) The water is boiling now (Boiling now) Just today (Just today)
The New Design
Lyrics
[Intro] (Ooh) (Ooh)
[Verse 1] I sit here in the daylight The pencil is a weapon Tracing lines of nothing Until the nothing is you One curve follows another A familiar arc appears I am not thinking of you Just a habit of the hand
[Chorus] Your name is on my tongue (Your name) Your name is in the room (Your name) Suddenly it is you Suddenly I remember It fits the new design (I remember)
[Verse 2] A surgical incision In the middle of the page My hand acts for the heart Designing your jawline The memory is an attack A sudden change in the air Five years in a second Five years just to say it
[Chorus] Your name is on my tongue (Your name) Your name is in the room (Your name) Suddenly it is you Suddenly I remember It fits the new design (I remember)
[Bridge] What is the date today The calendar is lying I have not seen your face Until this line was drawn Tell me how to stop it Tell me how to stop it (Stop it)
[Chorus] Your name is on my tongue (Your name) Your name is in the room (Your name) Suddenly it is you Suddenly I remember It fits the new design (I remember)
[Outro] The pencil hits the floor The name remains right here (Your name) (Your name) I say it out loud I say it out loud (Your name) It fits the design (Ooh)
Heavy Water
Lyrics
[Intro] (Ooh) (Ooh)
[Verse 1] Watching the glass turn green The water hits the edge I am listening to the weight Falling on the leaves Deep below the surface The motion starts to rise Everything is moving now In the cooling afternoon
[Chorus] The rhythm in the water Everything is breathing now (Breathing now) The rhythm in the water The world is coming through (Coming through) The rhythm in the water Everything is breathing now (Breathing now) The rhythm in the water The world is coming through
[Verse 2] Tides are shifting the coast Older than the hills Watching the color change From the grey to the blue A pulse against the window Moving through the frame I can feel the history Washing off the dust
[Chorus] The rhythm in the water Everything is breathing now (Breathing now) The rhythm in the water The world is coming through (Coming through) The rhythm in the water Everything is breathing now (Breathing now) The rhythm in the water The world is coming through
[Outro] Heavy water (Steady now) Heavy water (Breathing now) Coming through the glass The rhythm in the water (Ooh) (Breathing now) (Steady now) Through the glass
True Shape (Bright Edition)
Lyrics
[Intro] (La la la la) (La la la la)
[Verse 1] I found the box Right where I left it Under the heavy blankets Pages with messy edges The sun is just a big yellow circle And I am standing right in the middle
[Pre-Chorus] My fingers are stained with blue I am starting to remember I am starting to see it Wait for me
[Chorus] This is the true shape The one I keep for myself It is so bright (It is so bright) I never really went away I am still this happy (Still this happy)
[Verse 2] Nobody has to look It is okay to stay hidden Safe inside the paper I like the way the grass is purple The way the birds have five wings Everything is exactly right
[Bridge] Blue Green Red Pink Every color I ever loved Is waiting for me to wake up (Wake up) (Wake up)
[Chorus] This is the true shape The one I keep for myself It is so bright (It is so bright) I never really went away I am still this happy (Still this happy)
[Outro] I am still here Sparkling (Sparkling) (Sparkling) I am still here (La la la la) (La la la la)
The Other Passenger
Lyrics
[Intro] (La la la) (La la la)
[Verse 1] I sit on the blue plastic The heater makes a low sound The ticket is very small Inside my right pocket The train moves through the dark I watch the world disappear
[Verse 2] The window turns to glass The black trees pass by I see a different face Looking back at me She looks like I used to be Before I moved away
[Chorus] Is that my face Living a different life On the other side (On the other side) Is that my face Living a different life On the other side (On the other side)
[Verse 3] She wears a silk scarf I wear a heavy coat She has no suitcase She is already home She does not look tired She is waiting for someone
[Chorus] Is that my face Living a different life On the other side (On the other side) Is that my face Living a different life On the other side (On the other side)
[Bridge] The train stops at the station The light fills the carriage The girl in the window She fades into the white Now it is just me again Sitting on the blue plastic
[Chorus] Is that my face Living a different life On the other side (On the other side) Is that my face Living a different life On the other side (On the other side)
[Outro] Where did she go (Where did she go) She stayed behind (Stayed behind) On the other side (On the other side) (La la la) (La la la)
Final Fold (Alternative)
Lyrics
[Intro] (Ooh) (Ooh)
[Verse 1] The sky is turning white I see the water spin If this is the last day I want to start again
[Pre-Chorus] Everything is loud outside But it is quiet here I can smell the soap I can feel the air (Higher) (Rising)
[Chorus] One more load One more fold Keep it clean Keep it soft If we go Then we go Wearing something fresh and new (Fresh and new)
[Drop] (Clean) (Soft) (Spinning) (Wash it all away)
[Verse 2] Cotton on the line Moving in the wind Simple way to say goodbye Before the fire begins
[Pre-Chorus] Everything is loud outside But it is quiet here I can smell the soap I can feel the air (Higher) (Rising)
[Chorus] One more load One more fold Keep it clean Keep it soft If we go Then we go Wearing something fresh and new (Fresh and new)
[Drop] (Clean) (Soft) (Spinning) (Wash it all away)
[Outro] I am ready now Everything is clean (So clean) (So soft) It is a good day (Ooh)
Unknown Code
Lyrics
[Intro] (Beep beep) (Beep beep)
[Verse 1] I am sitting on the rug Watching dust move in the light Then the signal starts to play Breaking up the quiet night Numbers that I do not know Dance across the little screen Something in the melody Is the sweetest thing I've seen
[Pre-Chorus] And I wait And I stare And I feel you in the air And I wait And I stare Is there someone really there?
[Chorus] Tell me who you are (Tell me who you are) Tell me where to go (Tell me where to go) I am ready now (I am ready now) I am letting go (I am letting go)
[Verse 2] Now the walls are turning blue Everything is shifted left You are speaking in my ear Taking every single breath Saying things I used to know Things I forgot long ago I am standing by the door Waiting for the light to show
[Chorus] Tell me who you are (Tell me who you are) Tell me where to go (Tell me where to go) I am ready now (I am ready now) I am letting go (I am letting go)
[Bridge] Pick it up Pick it up Is it time? (Is it time?) Pick it up Pick it up Make it mine (Make it mine)
[Chorus] Tell me who you are (Tell me who you are) Tell me where to go (Tell me where to go) I am ready now (I am ready now) I am letting go (I am letting go)
[Outro] Seven digits on the line (On the line) Everything is going fine (Going fine) I am moving to the beat (To the beat) Walking down the digital street (Digital street) Walking down Walking down I am gone (Gone) I am gone (Gone)
The Red Dot
Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1] The image stayed still The music just cut off I am looking at the ceiling There is a crack in the plaster I was part of the crowd A second ago Now I am just a person In a very quiet house
[Chorus] The bridge is gone I am standing on the edge The world is still moving But I am not invited (Not invited) It is so quiet in here I can hear my own breath Everything is happening Without me now
[Verse 2] The mailman is walking past He has a blue jacket on He does not know I am stuck In this weird little gap I want to ask him a question But I forgot how to talk To someone who is right there Right in front of my face
[Chorus] The bridge is gone I am standing on the edge The world is still moving But I am not invited (Not invited) It is so quiet in here I can hear my own breath Everything is happening Without me now
[Bridge] A small dot turned red And the floor fell away I am falling through the air But I am still in my chair (Still in my chair) (Where did they go?)
[Chorus] The bridge is gone I am standing on the edge The world is still moving But I am not invited (Not invited) It is so quiet in here I can hear my own breath Everything is happening Without me now
[Outro] Without me now (Is anyone there?) (Is anyone there?) Just the blue jacket And the stain on the rug (I am waiting) (I am waiting)
Sodium Bravery
Lyrics
[Intro] (La la la la)
[Verse 1] The grocery list is in my hand Tucked beside a final notice bill My shoes are wearing thin at the heel Walking home across the damp asphalt The sky is just a heavy velvet lid Pressing down on everything I owe
[Chorus] But here under the orange lamp I find a sudden surge of pride (So much pride) I am a queen in plastic boots The pavement turns to sparkling dust I am brave for no reason at all (No reason at all)
[Verse 2] I find a copper coin near the drain And flip it like a lucky charm The bus goes rushing past the curb A moving ship of yellow plastic seats I stand my ground and do not blink Ignoring every debt I have to pay
[Chorus] But here under the orange lamp I find a sudden surge of pride (So much pride) I am a queen in plastic boots The pavement turns to sparkling dust I am brave for no reason at all (No reason at all)
[Bridge] Tomorrow is a ledger of mistakes A list of things I haven't done But tonight the air is cool and sharp And I am wearing an invisible crown (A crown of stars) The street is my cathedral now
[Chorus] But here under the orange lamp I find a sudden surge of pride (So much pride) I am a queen in plastic boots The pavement turns to sparkling dust I am brave for no reason at all (No reason at all)
[Outro] Walking past the locked shop fronts Holding my head toward the sky (High above the bills) Just a little magic in the dark (Just a little) Before the sun comes back again (Back again)
The Silent Version
Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1] I spent the morning writing on the back of a blue receipt Questions about the weather and the rising cost of living I left the envelope tucked under a heavy grey stone Down near the station where the buses always stall I wanted a sign that I would make it through A detailed weather report for the next ten years Just to know if I should buy an umbrella or a coat
[Chorus] You saw the ink You let it sit (Let it sit) No reply is the best news (Best news) If you had words you’d be worried But you are far too busy living (Living well)
[Verse 2] In my sleeping vision you were very tall Standing on a wide balcony with a glass of water You looked at my frantic scrawl and gave a smile Then turned back to watch the birds in the park You didn't reach for a pen or a stamp or a seal You didn't look like someone with a debt to pay Just the quiet weight of a life that stayed on track
[Chorus] You saw the ink You let it sit (Let it sit) No reply is the best news (Best news) If you had words you’d be worried But you are far too busy living (Living well)
[Bridge] The gardener doesn't talk to the sprout The root doesn't ask for the branch Your silence is a heavy velvet curtain Falling on a play that I already won (I already won)
[Chorus] You saw the ink You let it sit (Let it sit) No reply is the best news (Best news) If you had words you’d be worried But you are far too busy living (Living well)
[Outro] I am the seed You are the forest (The forest) No words required (None at all) Just breathing Just being (Doing fine)
A Small Lie
Lyrics
[Intro] (A small lie) (A small lie)
[Verse 1] I pick a yellow shirt It feels like the right choice I tell myself I am brave The kettle is boiling now It is easier to say That everything is planned
[Chorus] I am telling a small lie (A very small lie) To keep the day moving I am telling a small lie (A very small lie) It makes the air clearer
[Verse 2] The map has no red dot I walk toward the park The grass is very green People look very sure I say I know the way But I am just walking
[Chorus] I am telling a small lie (A very small lie) To keep the day moving I am telling a small lie (A very small lie) It makes the air clearer
[Bridge] There are no right answers No one has the key I like my version better (My version) I like my version better (My version)
[Chorus] I am telling a small lie (A very small lie) To keep the day moving I am telling a small lie (A very small lie) It makes the air clearer
[Outro] Moving forward now (Moving forward) It is not the worst thing (Not the worst) A clean little lie (Clean little lie) (A small lie) (Moving forward)
One Tone Brighter
Lyrics
[Intro] (La la la) (La la la)
[Verse 1] I look at the ground The dirt is dry and old I wait for a sign I am looking for a sign
[Chorus] And then I think of you And then I see your face Everything changes tone Everything changes color (So bright) (So bright)
[Verse 2] The wind hits my skin The leaves turn a deep green I can breathe again I am breathing again
[Chorus] And then I think of you And then I see your face Everything changes tone Everything changes color (So bright) (So bright)
[Bridge] I see it I see it I see it (One shade brighter) (One shade brighter)
[Chorus] And then I think of you And then I see your face Everything changes tone Everything changes color (So bright) (So bright)
[Outro] It is all so clear I am moving forward now (Moving forward) (Moving)
