Good Sport

If only we could leave our marks

In the hope they greet us in the night

On the hollow tree trunks, we climb

To the top of the fences

In time, we were brothers

You were on the ground

Waiting on

Waiting for the round

Always off the path

Drowning out

The weight of the warm sound

We were on an airwave

Way up

Falling on the lions

In a daze, we looked out like kings

We no longer know

Please, tell me how

To feel it all, all around

Lead me on

Almost home

(One) I no longer know

On our best day, we were brothers

All our leaders can't deny

Who we are

I was on fire

And it took a father's leap

So afraid to lose my cityscape

And I pry, pry, pry and look out to the West

Was it silenced by California?

The ways you found us

The way we hold in

Was it over yet?

Gotta calm down

Walls are thicker

And they stand tall

Well the protest, we can’t afford you

Still you find us

Still you ease in

But you sold us all (all on your own)

On all your good lies

All you've earned in time

You deserve a caliber war

Nothing ever followed

The calling order

And the lazy lob, you longed

I was in your heart when I asked for you once

Sky was burning red

Other lives we had led

This is us

Firmly on the ends

Waiting on

I was in your arc

You recurred back to me

Run the other ones down

It's a lie I won't tell

And this is us

Caught in a loop

We have been dissolved

Part of it now

Waiting on

Waiting on

The earliest dawn

I will know what you have done

By the time you let go

You will try to hold it down

Or incite a war

You wanna fight but you like to lose

Run long. Run long.

You will see your oldest one

Come along and grow up

She takes steps in that sun dress

And while you wait, she will hum

Run long. Run long. Run long.

Try to live my life with no paradigms

Try to see, my love, you'll be alive

On empty

By the book

Why'd I need to be at fault?

Wanna feel like home

It was a long time coming

I leave wrapped in your arms and you said,

“This is how you end and how I begin”

What you've gone and done

Is light up my life full stop

Run long. Run long.

And the hate floats

All the way up

I will be out of body

And it comes slow

To lead me

I will blur out all the colors

See: fallen arrow

On the iris dome

Flee

In the orchard

And I call it

Home

Now down parachute

I will lift off

Sleep easy

And the heat

Quick comes back

I can almost feel the colors

See: fallen narrow

On the iris dome

Flee

In the orchard

And I call it

Home

Bleed

Fallout tomorrow

Today is won

My only sweep

My only vice

Run and wake him up

For all the tides

But you, my love, you could love him

When you are feeling like a drone

Can you hold on to this?

Hold on to the time?

A power seize

The only one

The kind of man you seek is all you know

On the waterfall of my life

Not a wond, my breed

All for one

You might run, but you can love him

If you are feeling up to it still

In another world, could you let her down?

When you are feeling like a drone

Can you hold on to this?

Hold on to this always?

Hold on to the time?

In the reeds that we love

We are pulled apart

When the bottle's up and down

You can meet us at the white oak

Oh I can look past

You know you are your father’s son

When you see right to the other side

Never came to a stop

Always needed a counterweight

We lived on the corner of it

All of your reasons to be this one

All of your atoms fought

Oh I can look past

You know you are your father’s son

When you're counting down to always one

I'll always come to take you home

My weaknesses carried on by other ones now

A camera lens

Leave it for another man

Oh I can look past

You know you are your father’s son

When your eyes see what you always are

I'll always come to take you home

Keep it here in the hollow
