Another One Gained
I am coming to terms, you are coming around
Making my peace, finding a sound
Working through guilt for moving forward
While my heart spills over, I’ve never felt more sober
I could never see where this was taking me
Rushing me down
So much energy, just to spit me out
Already spitting me out, spitting me out
What a winter we had, it nearly froze us out
It killed all the bloom, and it surely killed my doubt
I’ve never felt more sure of myself, I could finally say it out loud
I need to move onward, all on my own and not with her
I could finally see where this was taking me
Rushing me down, just to push me out
So I could see what was right in front of me
There is no reason to think about
What I would have changed
For an opportunity lost, is another one gained
I could finally see where this was taking me
Rushing me down, just to push me out
So I could see what was right in front of me
Another one gained

Discoloration

Discoloration
The discoloration that’s taking over my body
It tastes very bitter, it’s a killer, and it wants all of me
Am I turning white from disbelief or blue from holding on too much
Stuck inside the grey now, in the middle, dark, dense fog, it’s the worst part
I can’t make a thing out, and I know now that it’s all just a part
Part of the fall out, part of what I knew would happen anyway
And maybe it’s okay, I burned all the stakes
I made all the truths go up in flames
And it never stays, but it changes highway
I am driving slower, a chauffeur, I once bit much harder
Pull me from the pillow, gotta make it, make the time pay, but some days
It feels so much easier, just to wait
And maybe it’s okay, I burned all the stakes
I made all the truths go up in flames
And it never stays, but it changes highway
I’m seeing spots, waking up and swimming in a yellow wash
That pours out from the sun and burns away the loss
Color me in anything, I give up this discoloration
And maybe it’s okay, I burned all the stakes
I made all the truths go up in flames
And it never stays, but it changes highway

Bottom Of Your Belly

Bottom of Your Belly
I feel it coming, without regard
And straight for my chest
I’m open minded to the heaviness
Nothing like an unfamiliar load, just so you can get to know
We’re all shedding, always shedding
Trying to make amends
I’m working hard on this new skin
Rid me of the poison and the show, let me really get to know
The pit in the bottom of my belly sinking so low
There’s nothing like a pit in the bottom of your belly, hear it roar
Everybody knows it, everybody knows it
I feel it burning, another demon
Trying to get my best
Closing in on whatever’s left
I need to keep this fortress sound, or let it crumble to the ground
I hear it seething, impatient breathing
Ready to jump
And suffocate my best intentions
Take it easy, take it slow, let me really get to know
The pit in the bottom of my belly sinking so low
There’s nothing like a pit in the bottom of your belly, hear it roar
Everybody knows it, everybody knows it
Let it in, let it go where it needs to
Let it in, let it sink deep down in you
Hold your eyes to its eyes, there’s no reasons
To be so afraid of what you’re seeing
There’s a pit in the bottom of my belly sinking so low
Nothing like a pit in the bottom of my belly sinking so low
Nothing like a pit in the bottom of my belly sinking so low
Nothing like a pit in the bottom of your belly, hear it roar
Everybody knows it, everybody knows it

Harsh Realization
It’s a harsh realization to come to
I stayed too long
My eyes were shut so tight
I let myself go
All of a sudden, I was shooting down the rapids
I didn’t notice when or how it happened
I am glassy eyed in the front seat
Watch the tail lights disappear
There’s no resolution in a decision
Just the paralyzing fear
Of the pain that I will cause others
And the truths that have been uncovered
Break the silence
I wanted something different
It was time to name it
Make the move to change it
To survive
To stay alive
To survive
To stay alive

Set In Stone

Set in Stone
I want it to be set in stone again
The feeling of being so broken in
I’m taking the time to remember when
We had a place to lean up against
A backdrop that made some sense
And now space and time are bent
I turn my head and I strain, I try
I bend my neck, I’m listening
I’m listening, I’m listening
I never thought I would feel so displaced
Or uncomfortable with the taste
Of the open range I face
I need it to be set in stone again
The feeling of being so broken in
And now space and time are bent
I turn my head and I strain, I try
I bend my neck, I’m listening
I’m listening, I’m listening
I wait for a signal
Trusting and stable
Pull me into the next step

Avoiding Every Sound

Avoiding Every Sound
I’m cozy in my bed of nails
I made so well, I made myself
I dream of smoke and wrecking ships
I know we will get through all this
It’s just a point on the ribbon
Let it blow across your skin
One day we’ll wake in separate beds
All of these words will have been said
I’ve been looking all around, avoiding every sound
Maybe if I pretend I lost my senses
Then I won’t have to say words that will inflict that pain
I didn’t think this far ahead
I didn’t think about myself
I said that it would be okay
Over and over again
And now my mouth is full of blood
From all the times I bit my tongue
I stayed way past the final hour
And now it all tastes sharp and sour
I’ve been looking all around, avoiding every sound
Maybe if I pretend I lost my senses
Then I won’t have to say words that will inflict that pain
I’ve been looking all around, avoiding every sound
Dodging every room, running through the halls
I broke some promises, I need to make this quick
Yes it is sinking in, no it hasn’t hit you yet
Maybe it was the wrong way, but there’s no point in thinking that
Home never felt so wrong, I was avoiding this all along
Maybe it was the right way, there’s no way of knowing that
I’ve been looking all around, avoiding every sound
Maybe if I pretend I lost my senses
Then I won’t have to say words that will inflict that pain
I’ve been looking all around, avoiding every sound
Dodging every room, running through the halls
I broke some promises, I need to make this quick

Because It’s Blue
Because it’s blue, I’m drawn to it
Because it’s blue, I can’t look back
Because it’s blue, I’ve got it bad
Because it’s blue, I’m drawn to it
It’s time forget all the tricks I learned
That I fine tuned, to make it work
It’s time to let it go, all the habits formed
When I was sitting in the back seat, watching life happen to me
Nevermind, nevermind
Forget that special name that I called you by
We’re not meant to hold on, we’re not meant hold on
Because it’s blue, I’m drawn to it
Spiraling again, my brain is weak
The blue pulls me further in the deep
Then I feel my gills take in the open sea
And remember what it is that calls to me
I finally feel the air come into my chest
Like all of these years were just a test
To see how long that I could hold my breathe
Until I collapsed from my own stubbornness

How To Live
The tour is over
It was a whip of a time
Almost too much to handle
It’s when I started losing my mind
It’s just like a movie
You don’t want it to end
When the credits start rolling
You want to watch it all over again
I think I know what you meant
When you said I don’t know how to live
Without love in my life
Without love in my life
I never planned for the last time
It just all came out
A truth spreading inside me
Crawling up and out of my mouth
It didn’t end with a question
Not a doubt in my mind
Just the stabbing feeling of knowing I’d leave all this behind
I think I know what you meant
When you said I don’t know how to live
Without love in my life
Without love in my life
Without love in my life
Without love in my life
There was no easy way to go
When you share this love with so many
I felt that lump heavy in my throat
And tired feet at the end of the road
But I know we can’t live, without love
I think I know what you meant
When you said I don’t know how to live
Without love in my life
Without love in my life
Without love in my life
Without love in my life

Nothing Comes Close
Pitter patter goes the water
The drops fall on my skin
I’m stuck and frozen in this moment
I’ve said goodbye to many places
Snapped a shot and then we left
I keep a picture to remember
I write down a name
In hopes of coming, coming back here
I’ve said goodbye to many people
Gave them all my love, then left
But I’ve never said goodbye like this
Nothing compares
Everything pales
Nothing comes close
A lifetime passes and we’re gathered
There’s so much to show
The sun is finally setting on you
The end of days sweeps across
The landscape you knew is lost
But there’s another one ahead
Nothing compares
Everything pales
Nothing comes close
In hopes of coming back here
We’ll always hold you and remember
Nothing compares
Everything pales
Nothing comes close

Different
Are we supposed to live with it, live with this
I can get just one thing clear
I feel the power
Is it electric
Was it the pull of the moon or a storm that brought us here
Now I feel different
And it’s getting harder
Harder to hide it
I feel like I might burst
You make me feel different
I swear for the better
I want to fast forward to a time when I am yours
When everything’s different
If I’m being truthful, you’ve been in my dreams
I’m always looking around for you
Because it’s so good to feel you near
It wasn’t an earthquake, it wasn’t a stampede
But maybe an honest desire to fill a basic need
Now I feel different
And it’s getting harder
Harder to hide it
I feel like I’m in love
You make me feel different
I swear for the better
I want to fast forward to a time when I am yours
When everything’s different

I could listen to the guitar riffs from "in Love..." all day. This is a fitting swan song for an criminally overlooked KC band. I dare say they're Sleater-Kinney without the jagged edges. I'm so proud of what these three ladies will become.
