Iris

Length: 4:49

Release: 2010

Opening Lyrics:

And I’d give up forever to touch you
‘Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be
And I don’t want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later, it’s over
I just don’t wanna miss you tonight
And I don’t want the world to see me
‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

Slide

Length: 3:32

Release: 2017

Opening Lyrics:

Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel?
I’d give you anything
To feel it comin’
Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are?
You live with all your faults
I wanna wake up where you are
I won’t say anything at all
So why don’t you slide?
Yeah, I’m gonna let it slide
Don’t you love the life you killed?
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall

Name

Length: 4:30

Release: 2013

Opening Lyrics:

And even though the moment passed me by
I still can’t turn away
‘Cause all the dreams you never thought you’d lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away
And now we’re grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don’t belong to no one
That’s a shame
You could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won’t tell no one your name
And I won’t tell ’em your name

Sympathy

Length: 2:58

Release: 2010

Opening Lyrics:

Stranger than your sympathy
And this is my apology
I killed myself from the inside out
And all my fears have pushed you out
And I wished for things that I don’t need
(All I wanted)
And what I chased won’t set me free
(It’s all I wanted)
And I get scared but I’m not crawlin’ on my knees
Oh, yeah
Every thing’s all wrong, yeah
Every thing’s all wrong, yeah
Where the hell did I think I was?

Black Balloon

Length: 4:09

Release: 2017

Opening Lyrics:

Baby’s black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you’re not thinking about tomorrow
‘Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees
A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb
Comin’ down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone’s prayer
