Honeymoon 04:13
I am not afraid to die I am just afraid to leave you here Who will pay the water bill and who will hold your hand to fight the chill? Booked a flight on May 19th Hugged the dog and cleaned the whole damn house Flipped through thoughtless magazines and stared into our endless social screens As our plane goes down I won’t be watching the onrushing ground I am not afraid to die I’m afraid of what I haven’t done Places we marked on our maps Looking down the earth just feels so flat As our plane goes down I won’t be watching the onrushing ground As our plane goes down Its flaming engine, cold rush of air, wind in your hair As our plane goes down I won’t be watching the onrushing ground As our plane goes down I’ll be watching you

Good News 05:40
What good news is this begins with my damnation? Still my blood when my bones ache to rise What good is salvation that waits for my demise? What great love is this? Rehearsed prayers of, “We’re never good enough” What good is salvation Bright like gaslight What good news is this? Bright like gaslight
3.
Interlude 06:52
What’s it like to fall? Loving you was like trying to see in the dark What’s it like to fall asleep in a hurricane? Loving you was like trying to see in the dark What’s it like to fall? Loving you was like trying to see in the dark What’s it like to fall asleep in a hurricane? What good news is this?

The Storm 06:09
Half-dead moon says this is the way we fend for ourselves with keys and knives Bone white moon’s peaks and teeth look just like yours, baring their fangs We persist We press on What’s it like to fall asleep in a hurricane? Loving you was like trying to see in the dark
5.
Quarters 07:05
Can’t stand the sound of silence Leave the TV on all day Fall asleep to it at night Don’t seem to get my mind straight The house, half-empty sighs so still Clothes and quarters on the floor Your shoes are missing from the hallway Didn’t hear you close the door Can’t stand the sound of silence Walk around talking out loud Sunlight coming through the windows where your nightstand used to be
