Scrapwood 03:35
This old age It feels like I'm pulling my weight through a Michigan lake And I never thought you'd be waiting there when I got caught I just hoped we might be citizens of the same thought The whole truth It looks like a hundred hard lies getting fitted for suits And if it doesn't kill your appetite, I don't know what will It's a sugar cane plantation, it's a landfill And it's so far Closed eyes Like the kids who address their songs to Jesus Christ Well I can't be quite so forward Not when I'm looking back Who am I to think I've ever been inspired? Please don't start I feel like scrapwood tied to the top of your car I just hope you put me to good use when you get home But are there any noble causes left? I don't believe so Please don't collect your things just yet When we're missing God we deify What we don't have the heart to throw away Please don't believe me when I'm Swearing up and down on every verse I'm just a wreck and that's alright The whole truth It sounds like a hundred hard lies getting fitted for suits And if it doesn't kill your appetite, I don't know what will I'm a walking contradiction When I stand still And I'm dead freight Look like I've been lost for months in the Creole State And when I wrack my brain for adjectives All I get is scared And it's beautifully confusing Oh and it's everywhere

Foundations 03:58
There's a creek somewhere that held him close That curls up now in dry repose We went back with rakes to clear the holes So you couldn't tell that earth was old Now he's stuck on the fourteenth floor and it's true It's a messy divorce, but it's what people do Give a face to a thought and hope it don't change But it's not so easy to keep up that pace But it's all I have done Was I wrong enough to be without your love? And I'm spread all around Wasn't bright enough to fall within those bounds There's a fence we build with shallow roots That grow downward in a dark commute And knocking it down seems easy enough But the posts take a beating, and never come up Foundations find their home Far away from all the hate from which they'd grown And we still feel it drag us down And apart from what we'd thought was common ground There's an awful range of honest lines That never made it past your mind Were we always stuck beneath that grate With the words we couldn't conjugate? And the running count of my mistakes Is laughing at all the corrections I make Been trying to settle a debt in my heart But it isn't so easy to play that part But it's all we could tell Weren't sure enough to live without ourselves
