Continuum

hanging round the water tower platform full of glass
oh how we wished those feelings wouldn’t go so fast
it’s no longer interesting to ruminate on the past
there’s nothing for me here
the more i think, goodbyes are a continuum sometimes it's perfectly fine to say so long
but i don’t know what it's like to meet someone
there’s nothing for me here
Anymore
Before we go, could we just sit here for a while?
Pretend we're whole enough to try
I'll stay if you ask based on my requisites
there's nothing for me here
In an attempt to recapture that magic that we felt
Trying to bottle the butterfly, I slipped and i fell
From the ground I watched its light blue wings fade in the sky
There's nothing for me here
Somewhere...

Substance
01:38
|
|

|
All the time i find it's easier to smoke
Then to go inside when its cold
Lately, I've been living off lara bars and alcohol
Building back trust to be by myself alone
The scars from substances stay with me when you go
Then I'm caught in a bad way needing someone to hold
All the time, i find it's easier to smoke

Can you be
02:49
|

|
track in dirt
leave your shoes next to mine
please leave a little bit more
of yourself in my life
I want to plan all of my tattoos
Except for the one
that you pierce into my skin
Do you mind if we’re matchin’
If you stain my shirt
With the juice that you spill
I’ll remember you forever
Even if you move over the hill
Can you be (can you be) in my life for as long you can (long you can)
If that's forever, I wouldn't be mad.

Broken harmony
03:55
|
|

Sing in broken harmony
On the couch left on the porch
I didn’t think it’d happen to me
Cuz we were so different so far
Then I left town and in an instant
Seems we slowly grew apart
Let the good times leave me
Let it be different from before
The way I coveted the memory
Of a simple silent touch
Something that seems so far away when
I was feeling too much
Maybe i'll intertwine my arms again
With someone new while I’m sober
Let the good times leave me
Let it be different from before
How could I be so naive
I didn’t even like you why did I want you to like me
Got no tricks up my sleeve
I stumble through my life
Earnestly
Sometimes I feel my needs have never changed
Still want you to wait by the door
But I’ll let the good times leave
Let it be different from before
Sing in broken harmony
On the couch left on the porch
I didn’t think it’d happen to me
Cuz we were so different so far
Then I left town and in an instant
Seems we slowly grew apart
Let the good times leave me
Let it be different from before

Never feel the end
04:08
|
|||
|
I'll never feel the end of it
I see your face in the rain
Hopeless when nothing sticks
Trying to communicate
I haven't heard the half of it
While I've been in this trance
I like reality just a bit
One day I'll know the difference
I ask myself to embrace it
the part of a moment we caught
after the lies you couldn't admit
Did you give it a second thought
I'll Never feel the end of it
I see (my place) (your face) in the mist through the window pane
I see (my place) (your face)
through the window pane

Teething
03:43
|
|

|
The years go by
We’re still teething
In the mirror i stand
Im still bleeding
Their voices flood
through the ceiling
If we are one
Why are we fighting
If i am you
Why are you killing
Killing
Killing
Killing
Killing

Bury me
04:07
|
|

Mother im tired
Can i please go back to being a child
For a few moments longer?
Could you wrap me in your arms
Grandmother
I'm so tired of this flesh
Of this mess that i am (oooooh)
Bury me next to the dog in the yard
So i don’t have to see you grow older
I'll not live without my mother
Or see the day i outlive my father
I would die at the base of your tree where you live
my love
And if you die before me
Pull me into your grave
Can I go with you?
With you
Can I go with you?
With you
I think we’re getting older quicker
I've been feeling sicker than i should
At 20 years old

Changing circles
04:30
|
|

Said goodnight 7 times
Stayed up dreaming and I find
A piece of heaven when you speak
I feel I’ve finally reached my peak
I tried and tried it’s alright
To find that feeling and I find
I can’t come back to where I was
You know I’d do it if I could
Changing in changing out
Changing circles in the ground
Where we laid and faded down
Collided hearts bout half way round
Around the bend and down the street
Glide through fire next to me
The bees used to make the moon
Now it’s glass you can see through

I don't want to be alone
Maybe I’m supposed to be on my own
Oh how am i to grow
On my own
Save me from the simplicity
I hope you got my letter
I don't know if i sent it to the right address
Did you move away
Did you
Your number ain’t saved in my phone anymore
And i miss you sometimes still
I know you won't sweat through the chill
I know you won't
I know you won't break the silence
I know you won't
But i can't show you how much i hope
That you're doing alright
Though i fight it i hope you’re alright
And i don't mind it
I don't mind it
I don't know what the future holds
I don't want to lose control
I can't find you tonight
I can't save you tonight
You wont save me either
And i don't want to know
I don't want to know
How you’re doing
But i hope you’re doing fine

All of the lyrics from this album are engraved in my mind. I love the pure energy & love that was put into these songs. BNF is the evidence that amazing bands are still making music today.
