You remember all you say even when my thoughts are vague Forgiveness doesn't make a sound The demons come my way right up in my face I push them away for now Can you make this go away Bury my mistakes Remind me you don't write them down anymore You remember what's been paid even when my feelings change It's not a covenant of chemicals To dwell is all a waste Does nothing for my state The place I change is deeper down Can you make this go away Bury my mistakes Remind me you don't write them down anymore

A Cemetery Greeting (free) 03:28
Try to fix your own kingdom while you're waiting on God's And the Devil just laughs as you try so hard You got fifty-one albums on your bedroom floor And not a single one's singing what you're longing for No one made you ready enough to make this climb But you wouldn't have believed it if it was written in the sky You've been kissing your demons in the middle of the night There's not a megaphone big enough to ask you why Give a cemetery greeting to the bones next door Just a big smile faking what you felt before No one made you ready enough to make this climb But you wouldn't have believed it if it was written in the sky You're not getting any better but you're keeping in stride As long as no one else tries you'll be doing just fine

Waterbaby 03:00
I think that you reflect what deep down I know the hope and the beauty Could you stand in the sun I'm seeing a glimpse of what was and is to come I've been holding my breath just balancing the buoyancy and density I've been drowning down here babe I can see you up there shining but the waters are refracting your gentle glow and I'm wishing that I was not down below I'll swim up to the surface for you I can see you coming babe I can see that you are falling but I didn't want to pull you down here too Living under all this weight would not become you I'll swim up to the surface for you There's new air to breathe a fresh moment of gravity Would you stand there with me cause the ground wasn't made to be a lonely place no there's room to be together but before any plans I may just need a hand as I break the surface tension
4.
I betrothed my hope to the darkness just to hold you Truth be told I've shown no one else the things I've shown you All the things I've known are betrayed by looking at you I can hold you close under heat to faster hatch you And I've faked my way through the loneliest day and I can blame my wayward gaze for this lonely escape where my brain becomes a means just to describe what I taste and it takes my veins back to where they originate I run, I run on the road that came before you I was told where this goes, now those words adorn a statue I can hold my own under water longer than you Though you hold my soul over coals, still looking at you On my own it's a game to fall before you til you show my soul what you gave Then for maybe an hour or a day I'll come back and just adore you but my eyes they always change And I've faked my way through the loneliest day and I can blame my wayward gaze for this empty escape Is my brain only a means just to describe what I taste and is to taste just a way for me to mask where I ache and I can trace this shame to my father Adam's face and it takes my veins back to where they originate

Cinnamon 03:03
I want to ask you why you couldn't make a fist And you didn't take your copy of our photo strip And the letter that I sent before, what did you think of it I just want to talk to you Is this just as hard for you Can you change your mind No it's not the right time I still have your bike, it's in my basement And I didn't get your scrapbook back, my birthday gift And I see that you found someone to make cupcakes with Is this just as hard for you I just want to be with you I wish that I could guard you from the cinnamon And I wonder if you notice when the Jackets win and what your calendar will say next time it gets to 10
6.
Even when you're locked behind your door I'll keep on singing just in case you hear and maybe even leave familiar fears and open up to love and dream again And what'll happen if you let me hear your song The ballad of a broken soul, so beautiful I know that we can both become so cold but baby we can both relearn to feel And I won't leave I know I'm standing clearly I know that you can see me and you don't have to scream Cause I'm right here to see beyond your surface to know your hopes and curses to see and to be seen I may never be your perfect love but we're already not the same, no, we will grow And I know I really want to know your soul Our walls around the truth are built so tall but I won't leave

about

Recorded in bedrooms and living rooms in West Virginia during an especially intense season of introspection, healing and re-direction.

The name Wilbur By The Sea comes from a road sign far from home, a token of early journeys in life that sparked the desire to travel as a musician in the first place.
