Looking Glass

Wander through the night
The city feels so quiet
I want to stay this serene
My wish is never granted
When I wake up every morning
I feel all the weight I carried by pulling my fears through my dreams
I try to escape
Go down the hole
Follow that rabbit
Pick up bad habits
I killed all the hours
With many more to lose
You won’t see the violence it takes
To keep my mind clear instead of blue
Living in a nightmare
Though I know it’s not true
I can’t get rid of this fear that on top of hours I’ll lose you
I want to escape
Go down the hole
Follow that rabbit
Pick up bad habits

Blue and Gold

I'll stare at the flowers in your room, on the walls, on the bed
I wish they'd fill my head
I'd prefer fake flora imagery instead of what keeps me up at night
I've been wondering what your soul looks like
Is it blue and gold?
I take your affections and run them through a delay
Forever they will ring until I'm in my grave
My body's cold and not my own
I feel like a fragment of myself
I'll never know the pain you hold
It's just another half-faded memory
I've spent hours reading everything you've ever said
I memorized every line
Imagined the pen
It's work but it will be worth it in the end
With throat sore and a fever dream
I'll still sing about you through this medicated sleep
I'll leave watermarks for you to trace
'Cause when I broke above the surface, all I saw was your face
When I broke above the surface, all I saw was your face
I take your affections and run them through a delay
Forever they will ring until I'm in my grave
My body's cold and not my own
I feel like a fragment of myself
I'll never know the pain you hold
I'm trying to find you in my patience
And I'd give anything to feel you in familiar places
I miss it so, the feeling to go home
I take your affections and run them through a delay
Forever they will ring until I'm in my grave

Sputtering

Sputtering like a bike wheel in the rain
I'm complacent from my problems
I never feel a fucking thing
Tired of singing only sad songs of a retrospective feeling of what I’ve done
Make an exit and I finally can fall asleep alone again
But I'm tired of being alone again
I will finally aspire to be someone that grows apart from all the chaos
That this heart can't bear to wait on
Sew me up or watch me bleed
‘Cause I'm tired of being alone again
I’ll try to carry our weight
Though I’m feeling flat and bent out of shape
Fill me up with air when we can
But the hole in my heart let’s it out again
Putting in miles of wear
Spinning in the same spot
Trying to cross the finish line
But all I feel is stuck
I'm tired of being alone again
Sputtering, I'm still sputtering

Significant Weather

Your hurt is mine
Our nerves feel it all the time
Synapses send alerts that something is wrong
Divide us into seasons
Know that this is all my reasons
We’ll walk together through this weather
The journey won’t feel long
Live through our days as we have to
We read the stars
And know this heaven is ours
You tried to put me in your picture
Hoping it will turn out clear
I’ll hang us up on the wall
And wait for the day to call
When we’re told it’s time to believe in the trust fall
I don’t want to be rescued
But you saved me like I saved you
Live through our days as we have to
We read the stars
And know this heaven is ours
You promised me and I believe you
Exit to the left
And we’ll figure out the rest
You don’t want to be rescued
I know you’re scared, well I’m scared too
Live through our days as we have to
We read the stars
And know this heaven is ours
You promised me and I believe you
Exit to the left
And we’ll figure out the rest

At the End of the Day

Uncertainties are messing with me
My goal was to plan my life so perfectly
I hope to feel solid ground
When I can’t see what’s ahead of me
Wouldn’t you hate to walk forward blindly?
Fears of the unknown
(We beat on like boats against the current)
Feel so paralyzing
(Opposite directions changing course)
Someday you’ll show
Your hesitations aren’t about me
Thought I could do nothing during the wait
But I’ll map out my own pain
I’ll feel better at the end
That I found my own way
Thought I couldn’t lose sight of me
But couldn’t see the forest for the trees
I’m planting my feet
I’ll keep my head up and avoid all the smoke and skirted blindness
You can believe that I’ll be gone before you know I’m missing
Fears of the unknown
(We beat on like boats against the current)
Feel so paralyzing
(Opposite directions changing course)
Someday you’ll show
Your hesitations aren’t about me
There’s a light on the door when you lose your way
I’ll always feel your blood inside my veins
I’ll find you in my patience
I’ll be here forever, you know I will wait
You’re the only familiar place
Where my thoughts always turn to at the end of the day
I swear now I know
Your hesitations aren’t about me
Your hesitations aren’t about me

City Mouth are everything that I look for in a newer age alt/rock/pop band. The cleanliness and rhythmic integrity is all very nice, but the incredible songwriting is what brings them to the top. Allowing this to bring forth emotion is also key. Amazing from start to finish!
