Now that I’ve worn down every part, my feet, my brain, my heart I offer my remains to you Do with them what you will, however they might move you Tie me in a paper box, and would that I could see you through I offer what remains to you I offer my remains Whatever may remain I offer what remains to you When I am truly spent, and untied the tether I offer what remains If I am unbound, undone, and tattered If I’m shaken to the point that all that’s left is to shatter I offer what remains to you I offer my remains Whatever may remain I offer what remains to you

Are we really as close as I think we are? Or are you just light from some fading star, That blew out long ago? But I wasn’t there so I won’t know, Until the light is Until the light is completely gone But I’ll still be here Reflecting that light Looming somewhere behind the night Casting shadows, spinning highs and lows Until the light is Until the light is completely gone I will be your human mood ring With no emotion of my own If that’s what it takes to keep From being alone I have given you my memory I have given you my soul So how should I feel about it? Here’s a moon You said that’s what you wanted So that’s what I’m giving you Here’s a moon I guess it’s hard to take for granted A love you never knew A love you never knew But I’ll still be here Reflecting that light Looming somewhere behind the night Casting shadows, spinning highs and lows Until the light is Until the light is completely gone Here’s a moon You said that’s what you wanted So that’s what I’m giving you Here’s a moon I guess it’s hard to take for granted A love you never knew A love you never knew A love you never knew

Burn 01:58
A good man in bad light Tries to leave the fight Part of who he is Can’t keep up with it A soul can hold too much More than hands can clutch More than eyes can see Closer than you think And I will burn you to the ground Who am I to you? Less than what you knew? A favor from the fates You found out too late And I will burn you to the ground And I will burn you to the ground

It was just 15 miles ago It was just 15 miles ago It was just 15 miles ago It was just 15 miles ago It was as far as I cared to go It’s as far as I cared to go It was just 29 days ago It was just 29 days ago It was just 29 days ago It was just 29 days ago It’s as far as I was able to go It’s as far as I was able to go It was as far as I could go It was as far as I could go It was as far as I could go It was as far as I could go It was just 15 miles ago

about

Four songs from the Habitual Salvation sessions, these seemed to belong together, and tell their own story, at least to me.
