Promise the lake

Don’t try, don’t be

Exist just like me

Promise shame

Every bit of everything is screaming so quietly



Is there anything else to say?

Are there any more words to sing?

Right after doubting all the things you claim

Right before giving all of it away



I thought I was ready to write

But you had me years ago

You had me at first sight

Even if it means nothing now



Promise these hands

No more empty praise and worship

Get lost at first sight

I’m driving my car away

I’m heading north



I thought I was ready to write

But you had me years ago

You had me at first sight

Even if it means nothing now



It hurts most in the mornings

And I wish I was in Chicago

Their statements are all contradictions

And I don’t think they can figure it out



All our damages transform us

We’re like our own historians

Is there anything else to say?

Are there anymore words to sing?



Every bit of everything is screaming

Promise the lake

Get lost at first sight
