Hoodieland 04:13
hey there blue eyes you know why i'm looking down at the sidewalk lines well i jumped a year too late and now i'm stuck in the garden state i'm sick -- began talking to the walls around this dirty ground the sounds rise and fall into a lie that can't ever be saved in the fall when the colors fade i'll be left wondering what passes by when i go to ground in bed by ten, missed the battlefield yet again hey there blue eyes won't you stop and wait for me by the oceanside the tides they rise and fall and i'll close my eyes and wash away in the fall when the colors fade i'll be left wondering what passes by when i go to ground in bed by ten, missed the battlefield yet again you occupy the back of my mind while the leaves fall down a solitary walk confirms i've told some lies to myself again it stands to reason, that i'm lost here in the changing season and i've spent these last 3 months talking to these walls again they respond to me as ghosts, but they haven't any names i'm not sure they can bear the weight in bed by ten, missed the battlefield yet again

Breakwall 04:42
lighthouse, beacon on a hill, the spinning glow reminds me of a town i somewhat used to know remember, remember what you and i would find those humid nights when we had nothing but all of time was on our side water breaks and takes us over spread your arms against the wind and let yourself erode and on these stones our words will hang still in the summer air and in these mouths we try to go back to how it was before and as we almost fade away you can hear us out on the breakwall: no this is not the place, but no this is not the end these days i try to keep that place in time i'm just holding it on to it all oh these days i maintain my roots but friends they scatter out like leaves and settle elsewhere and and move on water breaks and takes us over spread your arms against the wind and let yourself erode and in these streets our words are frozen in the winter air and in these mouths we try to go back to how it was before and as we almost fade away you can hear us out on the breakwall: no this is not the place, but no this is not the end we look to the breakwall when we run escape from the suburbs to the seas don't stop 'til we reach the ocean sprint 'til the water hits your knees and on these stones our words will hang still in the summer air and in these mouths we try to go back to how it was before and as we almost fade away you can hear us out on the breakwall: no this is not the place, but no this is not the end

Let it Out 04:03
i am a scout trudging on this endless march we picked the wrong fight now we have our backs to the long horizon we fought a war death was coming to collect but we weren't giving it up built an empire towards heaven a house of dust the rain will destroy or save us these grey coats keep us a float a little longer the call of roll is smaller every time after we hear the rifle's song we fought a war death was coming to collect but we weren't giving it up built an empire towards heaven a house of dust the rain will destroy or save us we were once alive rugged and hungry battered and bruised fire and bayonets we can't move on yet we can't advance we don't know our way through death and decay through glorious days mortar and brick won't restore the damage done here we've reached our old homes long since gone they're sacrificed to the setting sun we fought a war death was coming to collect but we weren't giving it up built an empire towards heaven a house of dust the rain will destroy or save us
