was a photo finish for your sweet kiss and the two of us tied and it felt like this: I was never one to live fast, die young I’ll take my time to the finish line to the finish line I’ll take my time to the finish line so I’ll wear my silks through the night it’s a good race to run by your side take your time I’m so glad that renown has outran let the fame die before my old man and we’ll both cross the line when we can take your time

Six Feet 03:44
that chill is in the air that I have learned to bear the only joy I know six feet beneath the snow six feet beneath the snow I loved you better in the spring that’s when I felt like someone’s something oh back when I thought I had it all six months before the fall six months before the fall now more than half my soul locked in a world below and time will tell the truth and bring me back to you but this old year will come around and I’ll be up from underground oh the coldest heart you ever saw six tears to start the thaw six tears to start the thaw I’ll love you better in the spring I wanna feel like someone’s something oh the only joy I know six feet beneath the snow six feet beneath the snow

tonight my very skin is stretched so thin over the cage, locked you away night, night nightblooming that old house ate you whole ate your bones, ate your bones, ate your soul. shame on you, she fooled you again why you makin it so hard, hard to be your friend shame on me for listening to you cry only so many ways to tell you, always gonna lie night, night nightblooming shame on her, she fooled you the once but every damn time you fell for it since. shame on us for drinking it away you’ll be wilted by the morning; you’ll tell her it’s okay. night, night nightblooming

Sleep Long 03:53
sleep long, sleep hard you wake I’m gonna break your heart afraid I’ll waste your time afraid I’ll waste your youth I want a short, short story to stay with me all my life not a book so heavy that I lay it down to die you’ll be the one that I remember, baby please don’t cry while you’re still mine be cool, my love you know you smile in your sleep be cool, my love the best of everything I’ve seen be cool, my love and bit by bit we’ll drift away be cool, my love can’t count the hours in these days so I’ll try, try harder to remember it’s the time because we’ll both be better off untethered while we’re in our prime one that I remember, baby please don’t cry you’re not mine. got nothing but my time, got nothing but my youth got nothing but my time, got nothing but you. sleep long, sleep hard you wake I’m gonna break your heart you loved me well please don’t hate me now.

Little Light 03:21
my mama told me not to talk of voices in the sky so I grew wise she slips through the veil looking thin, looking pale looking like me oh I let them speak through me they locked me out they tied me down they locked me out they tied me down they locked me out they tied me down shaking hands cast shadows longer than before the prickling of my fingers don’t bother me no more hate to deceive all the well-meaning boys but I won't stop the lies cuz I can’t stop the noise they locked me out they tied me down they locked me out they tied me down they locked me out they tied me down
