the plan 02:15
2.
Take me through the everglades Take me to the top of this mountain I’ve made Keep your head above water Keep your head above water, you’ll Keep your head above water, you’ll Keep your head above water I miss places I’ve never been Got to stop thinking “remember when?”
3.
get through 01:23
Maybe the sophomore slump will end soon I thought I could be like Xaphoon I thought I could write songs like songs “for emma” too I can’t promise it’ll all be good But I can promise you we’ll get through
4.
birds 01:58
Circle all you want there I won’t let you nest in my hair You’ll keep it up long enough That’s not belief, that’s fear Circle all you want there I won’t let you nest in my hair
5.
interlude 02:34
I revolve around you Your shadow becomes my shape My path is mostly yours and my Kingdom is your tide My path is mostly yours and my Kingdom is your sky Your shadow becomes my shape My path is mostly yours and my Kingdom is escape
6.
The places I love are scattered everywhere They’re sinking and floating Drowning, dehydrated I don’t care They’re sacred The places I miss are scattered everywhere They’re haunted and empty A ghost like me can’t stay I don’t care They’re sacred
7.
reckless 02:34
There’s a vast blank wall up ahead Useless and frightening The clouds might swallow you whole With an ominous flash of lightning No longer staying silent Your dreams have gotten violent You tossed and turned last night Fumbling and shaking You panic and drop the flashlight This is as reckless as you’ve ever been Time and time again There’s no way to win I lay on my back Dreaming of ways To hide from prying eyes I grew up under an endless sky Where sunsets can last for days
8.
complacency 02:19
I could say that I’m happy But that would be a lie Under the oppression of a perfect blue sky I’m trapped By the light reflected in your eyes I’m trapped Under wishes and hopes I’m trapped by childish fears And the urge to keep chasing ghosts Maybe that’s dramatic I shouldn’t be so dire But sometimes it feels like I’m the last one Standing up to the empire I could be quiet and call it maturity I’d know that it’s complacency I was ready to run away But now I can barely stand My legs are getting heavy I’m sinking into the sand I was ready to run away But now I can barely stand My legs are getting heavy I’m sinking into the sand
9.
invisible 02:40
At the supermarket checkout A sandwich and a bottle of tea I’m tired and awkward But she stares right through me Standing on the bus I pull the stop The driver doesn’t hear, I know I should say something But we’re already past and I’m too slow I glance up and he looks away You walk out when I want you to stay Maybe I’m invisible today Late night at work I walk to the car in darkness Nobody pauses, nobody steps aside I’m not bothered, through the crowd I glide Put on those headphones and press play They’re staring at me but I’m far away I know I’m invisible today

Chase Miller Denver, Colorado

Music for when you can't sleep on a Sunday night and don't really want to; music for sitting in your car in the rain, avoiding the world for just a few more minutes.
