Hey, how are ya
Oh im just alright, been thinking bout you and what to do tonight
Oh i dont know, just tell me about your day and then go to the show
Hell yeah, I'll drink up and make some friends who will understand
Thats the way to go, just know that i wanna be the one you hold
I really miss you
Oh no you dont
Dont tell me how i feel, i need to feel your bones
If I cant treat you like my lover then ill love ya like my friend until it ends me
Oh please dont let this all repeat
It seems that i cant contend
Why does it seem that this never ends
I cant tell where we're at
But if it stayed this way forever i really wouldn't mind that

First day of spring and we've said goodbye
It's grown and died so many times
It got hard to believe we'd not survive
But maybe somewhere down the line
We'll pick up and make true
All the things we loved to talk through
Until you find your way out west
Then I'll just be hoping for the best
That you're waking with a smile
The way I'd wake to you
Sharing all our own warmth
Til the sun peaks through
You'd head to work and I'd hit the road
The whole drive hoping youll have me back soon

Warm skin glows
Feeds my hopes
Until you go
And stack stones on top
I'll wash them off
Dealin every day and waiting for change
I cant believe you're home
It seems you've grown cold
I'd feel the same
If only i could change
But all that i see is closing in on me
Is closing in on me
Its getting old
This life I've chose

It just feels right
Sitting here alone amongst these dampend chairs
The more time goes by its lookin like im the problem
It seems everything thats good for you
It's good for me too
Im just afraid to realize i cant find hope in myself if i wont just chill and help you dig copper from the dirt
Though it might cost more to make than its worth
You know that dont sound like such a bad life
May be something i could grow to like
Just paying off the pennys to spend while we're more than friends
I'm not ready for this to end

Getting faced to get drained
body drops then lurched up
Shoulder snaps, spinal tap, skin graft
You were askin for it ya fuckin dick
Screamin for help
Didn't think it'd feel like this
Shoulda thought it through
Oh but you thought you knew
Worth trying out
When you're tryna check out
Would you do it all the same
Fuck it man
Can't trust a damaged brain

It's all gone now
It's sinking deep
It's over, how
So hoist up the boat or die in the hole
Feel it churning through the moisture
Still you're burning
Through the excess heat
Untill youre dragged
Through the fucking ground
Success grabbed your skin
And tore it up with pictures that you took
I wont need it anymore

Passive aggressive
You best keep them separate
Writing off the ways of another, you studder
Affecting nothing in this world you're a bother
Everyday and night you fight over what you think they think's right
That fuckin creep
Knows where you sleep
Always nipping at your heels
Testing out what you're about
Ignoring all signs of doubt that you display
And there's no kind way that i could show you how far id go to be left alone
Can i get you anything to drink
Do you have any opinions of your own
No you don't
And you cant ever be alone
Everyone around you just waiting for their fuckin chance to breathe but you've got to be the one closest by
but why

Excited for where I'm leaving to
Couldn't afford it without you
But im afraid this way aint right
I feel it crawling, coughing through the hay
Creeping closer it animates itself
I suffocate
Gotta stop fucking with this thought that someones to blame
A need to be healed by shame
Cause i see things too
Digging deep til i find you
Through the quartz its clear
I have no place there
Burned you feel
Wretched i am
Swelling up
To burst again
Dawn's arrived
The more you dread
The more i weep
Waiting for it
I cant be alone
Where'd all my friends go
I don't need you
No one needs you
They left you behind
You'll be fine
The earth's alive
I'm a living spec of sand
Means nothing when you're tossed aside
Wouldn't accept life without it
A world cleansing itself
The most beautiful thing about it
Life learning itself
Couldn't expect to find your peace without it
I hope that peace dont end

There is a lot to hear here and unsurprisingly it's a mixed bag, but Passing Strange's stunning arrangement of "Tourniquet" blows me away. They make it sound like it was ALWAYS a piano ballad, and their contribution was to rock it up with lively drums.

Beautifully introvert, full of uplifting vibes and lyrics by someone who knows how to watch closely. "Surrogate" always gives me back my feelings when they seem to escape me.
