Tunnels 03:03
Bury yourself deep inside of tunnels you don't build You'll die besides the predators too hesitant to kill You'll find comfort in disorder and rationalize the ends You''ll ingest whats in front of us and cough up what lies within Home, why dont you why dont you come home You'll communicate through radios whose wires snake and turn Deep inside of mechanisms, only built to burn We'll laugh at the day ending if there's something in the sky We'll swallow the moon whole before we choke on the daylight Home, why dont you why dont you come home

She screams out loud so her thoughts aren't unheard Seems she's running so fast that her legs won't carry her We are blind on both sides and we can't Tell what lies ahead And through the window the sky's gone opaque With both hands on the wheel Feet searching in vain for the breaks So we set our stakes And we make our claims We don't notice much But we know it's not the same Hang me out on wires over the sea Through consequence to the blue and the green And with this dark glass strewn about our feet This is consequence in the form of a dream The day has broke but the smoke hasn't cleared This still this lingering sense of you on the air And every lesson the cold air had taught her was Washed out along with the sweat and the water And while the snakes on her head Take my body in bed She'll try to whisper instead Until the sky turns red

Kennedy Song 04:00
There's a ghost inside my sweater Feel it breathing on my neck It feels like best intentions And vague signals that were sent Now the flood light flickers, Won't replace it til its out The kind of half-assed warning, That i can never shout It's the fireworks exploding So that you'll rest assured That when the radios drowned out, You'll remember what you learned I'm gunna button to the top like a kennedy I'm gunna sit up straight like my mom told me I'm gunna bite my tongue keep my shoulders squared Hand following the wall Keeps me steady in the dark And I'll always look away I might be dizzy but you know i'll never sway The lights that hit your forehead And swallowed up your eyes The river that was flowing Out your throat into the sky The chemicals that hit And run from ear to ear The country song you sing When there's nothing else to hear

Born in a city with no soul Cast from iron 'cause they'd run out of their gold But I've learned to walk on calloused feet To never feel what was beneath These streets that sucked and swallowed people whole Could never find a drink to quench my thirst And I've starved as my stomach always burst But I've learned to grab beyond my reach I've learned to eat with sharpened teeth To devour all the ideals in my path You don't have to call this home You don't have to like being alone You can say this all is killing you But believe me you'll miss it when it's gone I've learned to like the burning in my lungs And I've beat a path in circles just to run But I'll always cuss and scream and fight Even if it's out of spite Even if there is no getting back
5.
Why do you always have to get up and leave Do you think you have better judgement than me If you always stay up this late, than what's a little more Before I say it, you already walking out the door And you drink the river dry You suck the color from the sky And you paint it all red With the color from your fingertips The diner off the highway is always poorly lit The coffee is burnt and there is never enough of it Under the table like a trench, just swearing to God That you're gunna make it home, you won't get caught But then you leave it, you leave it, you let it rot.
