leaves 02:03
(for sure) we're living through the same set of eyes and flawed they are, we stumble through every day and night (i feel like I've been sleeping forever i did make that up) i'm finding pieces of you wrapped in my speech i see you when I walk around i see you in the trees i feel you when I stumble down i hear you in the leaves slow down and go to sleep i see you when I walk around i see you in the trees i feel you when I stumble down i hear you in the leaves slow down and go to sleep

river 02:54
i'm feeling smaller every day i think i belong here, think i'm your friend i'll be pretty like the flowers in a few years across your bed i've lived a life of getting stepped on and somewhere in the tumble my corners rounded off until the nineteen little flames eat up the air blow them out, open your eyes, and he's not there i will be pretty when i die i will be pretty when i die and don't you understand? when i say i'm sad, i mean it i will be pretty when i die lay her down i will be pretty when i die lay me down

cicadas 02:50
if i kissed you, you’d turn to a puddle (i think its been three months? four months? i remember looking in the mirror and just bawling) i love you like a bug in a bottle i love you even if its just a little i see how the leaves all sing for you please don’t let me go you’ve gotta see the trees down here they smiled when we touched down i love you like a bug in a bottle i love you even if its just a little i see how the leaves all cry for you i love you like a bug in a bottle i love you even if its just a little i know how the leaves all sing/cry for you do you hear so many pretty cicadas? do you hear so many pretty cicadas?

flowers 04:52
ravens are circling it's all coming to a boil it's not anything i’m worth not much more than the soil there's a blight in these woods ground has gone black the place where he stood tore my letter and laughed somnambulant thoughts let way to crisis and fear telling me I lost the things I hold dear set forth from the fog it's all in plain view not a ghost, not a friend it's a child, it's you i hope when a storm comes canyons forming in your chest you can think of all our years and this running comes to a rest know I’ll do anything for you now I'm scared, cause I finally have something to lose years and years it’s this I give run just like a little kid i've picked up the pieces from a glass once shattered (i am my own) i've run out of things to make us (i am what I choose) i miss you (know that) know that know that
