about

From the new album, "Half Keys", out November 1, 2019

lyrics

After all the shattered walls that start to fall and break for me
Are wearing me out
Well I was a lot like your friend, a lot like your friend
And wearing you around

After all the alcohol, the final crawls that call for me
Are wearing me down
Well I was a lot like the end, a lot like the end
Before we begin

But wait, I could have changed
I’m trying to feel my life’s refrain
And caught in the act of disguising my name
But it will not be the act of breaking down

After all the empty space you violate and break for me
And carry me down
Well I was a lot like your man, a lot like your man
A lot like your man
And then we break down

But wait, I could have changed
I’m trying to feel my life’s refrain
And buried in cycles that spin 'round your brain
And carry a lie like some secret shame
But there is a time for us still to create
To fill the blank canvas, the empty space
And we’re caught in the act of disguising our names
But it will not be the act of breaking down
