All At Once

All at once
the world can overwhelm me.
There's almost nothing that you could tell me
that could ease my mind.

Which way will you run?
When it's always all around you,
and the feeling lost and found you again;
a feeling that we had no control.

Around a sun, some say,
"it's gonna be the new hell,"
some say,
"it's still too early to tell,"
some say,
"it really ain't no myth at all."

Keep askin' ourselves,
"are we really
strong enough?"
There's so many things
that we got
too proud of.
We're too proud of...
We're too proud of...

I wanna take the preconceived
out from underneath your feet,
and we can shake it off
and instead we'll plant some seeds.
We'll watch 'em as they grow,
and with each new beat
from your heart the roots grow deeper
the branches, well, they reach
for what?
Nobody really knows,
but underneath it all
there's this heart all alone.

And what about when it's gone?
It really won't be so long.
Sometimes it feels like a heart
is no place to be singing from at all.

There's a world we've never seen,
there's still hope between the dreams;
the weight of it all
could blow away with the breeze.
If you're waitin' on the wind,
don't forget to breathe
'cause as the darkness gets deeper
we'll sink, and so we reach
for love;
at least something we can hold.
But i'll reach to you from where
time just can't go.

And what about when it's gone?
Oh, it really won't be so long.
Sometimes it feels like a heart
is no place to be singing from at all.

Jupiter and Mercury

I daydream about lying under a star-filled mountain sky, feeling the cool night air tingle across our faces, tracing out routes between points of light that traverse the constellations.

A Proper House

The buildup from 1:41 to 2:14 is my favorite.
