Are You Still There?

I set out to write a ballad
But the feeling didn't last
In here I'm the star, I'm the A&R
I'm the producer behind the glass
Shower and shave every day
And I try to clear my head
I look neat and oh so complete
But I still feel like an unmade bed
Are you still there?
Are you still there?
Are you still there?
I know you think I don't but I still care
Are you still there?
Are you still there?
Are you still there?
And if you've gone can you tell me where
Well I guess it's natural
Sometimes I just want to disappear
I'll leave my phone, walk away from home
And it'll be like I was never here
How long will it take them
To find out that I've fled?
How long would they look for me
Before they gave me up for dead?
Are you still there?
Are you still there?
Are you still there?
I know you think I don't but I still care
Are you still there?
Are you still there?
Are you still there?
And if you've gone can you tell me where
I don't want, I don't want to
I don't want to do this anymore
I don't want, I don't want to
I don't want to do this anymore
I don't want, I don't want to
I don't want to do this anymore
But hey, it's not like I have a choice
We can't just go back to before
Are you still there?
Are you still there?
Are you still there?
I know you think I don't but I still care
Are you still there?
Are you still there?
Are you still there?
And if you've gone can you tell me where

Silk Flowers

It's wrong to plant silk flowers and expect them to grow
But they can make the winter nights bright
Locked inside for what felt like a year
With silk flowers as the only source of light
Your trip isn't complete until you've visited Rapunzel
Till you've circled every hallway
And left your home for once, oh well
Your trip isn't complete and maybe never started
Unless you go in heavy headed
And walk away light hearted
It's wrong to plant silk flowers and expect them to grow
But they can make the winter nights bright
Locked inside for what felt like a year
With silk flowers as the only source of light
Who was I to say it was an inauspicious moment
Time is not for sale
And nobody can own it
Who was I to say something real wasn't calling,
On the easy bus ride home
As the frozen rain was falling
It's wrong to plant silk flowers and expect them to grow
But they can make the winter nights bright
Locked inside for what felt like a year
With silk flowers as the only source of light
It's wrong to plant silk flowers and expect them to grow
Locked inside for what felt like a year
With silk flowers as the only source of light
Silk flowers were the only source of light

Witch City

Put fences in my way, I'll jump 'em
The city is my playground, if they want to chase me, let 'em
I'm more concerned about what the spirits think
As I loiter among their headstones to drink
Raising hell in Witch City, USA
Name a better more productive way to spend an autumn Friday
I begin my weekend with a light trespass
Feel more inspired here than I ever have in class
Running wild on the streets of Witch City
Doing wrong, so they say, I feel alright
If I could slow down, look around, take it in
The scene would be pretty
But I can't, or at least I won't, not tonight
Not tonight
To us it's more than just another tourist town
Chill out, officer, we're not gonna burn it down
You must respect such a perfect getaway
Ten years from now, we'll remember today
Running wild on the streets of Witch City
Doing wrong, so they say, I feel alright
If I could slow down, look around, take it in
The scene would be pretty
But I can't, or at least I won't, not tonight
Not tonight
I duck into the fortune teller's shop
Ask to see my card, expect the worst
But the moon smiles up from the tabletop
When I had expected the tower reversed
Running wild on the streets of Witch City
Doing wrong, so they say, I feel alright
If I could slow down, look around, take it in
The scene would be pretty
But I can't, or at least I won't, not tonight
Not tonight

Into The Ether

Some days in fall feel like spring
It's 65 degrees, and the mood is tense
One day Nature's kind, the next it brings
Such violence
That fall
My love got stranger, stronger, grew deeper
Then it just flew off into the ether
If it hadn't just happened to me
I wouldn't believe it either
My love got stranger, stronger, grew deeper
Then it just flew off into the ether
If it hadn't just happened to me
I wouldn't believe it either
Some names began to taste like chalk on my tongue
But I'll chew them up all the same
Work the afternoon at the bar, anyone?
It's a gorgeous day
That fall
My love got stranger, stronger, grew deeper
Then it just flew off into the ether
If it hadn't just happened to me
I wouldn't believe it either
My love got stranger, stronger, grew deeper
Then it just flew off into the ether
If it hadn't just happened to me
I wouldn't believe it either
This town is a treasure map, shall I mark the spot?
Sometimes ink and parchment are all that you've got
That fall
My love got stranger, stronger, grew deeper
Then it just flew off into the ether
If it hadn't just happened to me
I wouldn't believe it either
My love got stranger, stronger, grew deeper
Then it just flew off into the ether
If it hadn't just happened to me
I wouldn't believe it either
