Eve (Household Name) – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

The holidays are all going down the same
When you asked me what I wished for
And I told you I’d never say

Said I wish you were here
Or at least that you weren’t there
You cover your ears
‘Cause you long to be less aware

And now that time has healed all of my wounds
I fear I’m too old to remember
What I got myself into
And these days, I’m not a colour but a shade
You said it’s only building character
Find out the harder way
And all the same
I’m reflecting light from everything
You wouldn’t notice if I’m thinner
Because you see me everyday

Forgotten but never gone
Old stories you pass along
I’d rather have bad luck than none
Curse ‘cause it’s in a song
I’m so fucking in the wrong
Swallow the said and done

Wincing and whining
I’ve got no room to run
Ask anyone
I don’t know where I’m from anymore
Anymore

So pretend you can’t hear
It’s not your fault just your failure
Promise me like a kid
Swear to me like a sailor
I’ll just change, rearrange
All your tectonic plates
And your head
Won’t shake again

The holidays are all going down the same
When you asked me what I wished for
And I told you I’d never say

You startle easier than I did at your age
‘Cause you put the bliss in ignorance
You were my household name

Overture – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

I’m breaking bones
And you’re signing my cast
That’s exactly how you’ll wind up dead

I am blessed to be home
I’m possessed by my past
Put a roof over my rotten head

You know exactly where I’ll go when I’m gone
Know that it’s been in the works for so long
Born and raised tending to our trauma bond
Because you know that it’s all we’ve got
Getting better with names
But still struggling with faces
And facing the worst I can be

And I’ve been reasoning with
All my reasons to live
But I still got more reasons to leave

You know exactly where I’ll go when I’m gone
Know that it’s been in the works for so long
Born and raised tending to our trauma bond
Because you know that it’s all we’ve got

Oh, please stay as long as you’d like
Back to old ways, just like riding a bike
You pray just in case of any afterlife
And you call just in case I’m dead

A face only a mother could love
But she can hardly even look at her son
Living lonely
I won’t hurt anyone
I won’t hurt anyone

Talking With My Hands Again – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

Talking with my hands again
To hide that I’m speaking in tongues
And we’re spending time in separate beds
Like your parents did when you were young
And you can’t forgive if you only forget
And I can’t remember anything you said

Talking with my hands again
I’m keeping them to myself
‘Cause I’ve grown far too disengaged
To admit that I’m down for the count
‘Cause time won’t tell when time is wearing thin
You keep me safe where I have never been
Slow but sure
You never were
One to admit or assure
Placing bets on what our words are worth
Yeah, I’m always coming up short
All the folks move from my rural state of mind
For heaven’s sake I try to stay alive

He has a fear of being overwhelmed by this inner life
But feeling more a panic at the isolation he drops into
And this wave of panic sends him into an acute withdrawal
The objects around him lose their color, lose their separateness
They blend into this large indifference
He feels quite indifferent about the world that we live in
And he is located somewhere else
His emotions do not connect in the ordinary way, with ordinary things
But his emotions are now concerned with his myth world
And that’s his entire concern at the time

Talking with my hands again
To hide that I’m speaking in tongues
And we’re spending time in separate beds
Like your parents did when you were young
And you can’t forgive if you only forget
And I can’t remember a fucking thing you said

Aries (Moth Song) – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

You flew around
Where my light goes
And you’re chewing holes
In all my clothes

I let you out
Thought you’d go home
But you said your home
Is where I go

Am I precious or just delicate?
Born with bargain-basement bones
And you know that
When your white blood cells
Can’t count on you
Know they’ll come for you soon
You’re numb, but not immune

You think fondly of the times
We burned smilies on our thighs
Safe where no one else could see them
Just as long as you saw mine
Just as long as you saw mine

You hold out hope
Put stock in star signs
With a telescope
To see if you’re right

A product of pity sex
But a miracle no less
You said you’re not even that scary
Wouldn’t have pegged you as an Aries
I guess

When your white blood cells
Can’t count on you
Know they’ll come for you soon
You’re numb, but not immune

You think fondly of the times
We burned smilies on our thighs
Safe where no one else could see them
Just as long as you saw mine
Just as long as you saw mine

You connect my dots
And my beauty spots
‘Til you’re seeing stars
Wherever I could not

Made out a little spoon
Said it’s just like you
A constellation curse
Waning phase honeymoon
Gone too soon

Trying to look
More like my skeleton
I’d do anything to show
We’re not so different

When you drink to drown
In your own puke
I’ll breathe life back into you
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
And when I leave, you’re so confused
Like a baby in the other room
I’ll just pretend like I don’t hear you
But we both know I always do
We both know I always do

In Loving Memory – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

When trying hard not to remember makes you think about it more
I stand up straight, you measure, and you mark it on the door
Never saw you walk on water
But I watched you mother four
You couldn’t raise me like a father
When we’re choking on our child support

Well, am I smart?
Or just thinking really hard?
Destined for dementia
Doomed right from the very start
And our trauma bond was tangled in tape from the VCR
So sick to my stomach
I was force-fed the fear of the dark
And when you lose all muscle memory
Forgеt completely how to stand
You know I won’t let you forgеt me
I’ll come convince you who I am
Make you understand

Touch and go
Now you see me now you don’t
Phantom limb affection
Crave the feeling
Of your ghost

Now you’re forging all the symptoms that you
Never had supposed
Learning to live with them
Said it’s easier to live alone

Sick from the soothing
Drowning in dreams
Shellshocked in shelter
You’ll pass in your sleep

The thorn in my side was grown from your ground
You’re never before seen, never again found

And when you lose all muscle memory
Forget completely how to stand
You know I won’t let you forget me
I’ll come convince you who I am

I came to see
How the world looks without me
Is it all you thought it’d be?
Living in loving memory

You built me a home inside a bucket
And you’re poking some holes up top so I can breathe
Knew I was lying
If I had to look away

Do you think we’d be friends when we were younger?
If I knew you back then, God knows who I would be
Walking in semi-circles
To shape this baby face

You built me a home inside a bucket
And you’re poking some holes up top so I can breathe
Knew I was lying
If I had to look away

Do you think we’d be friends when we were younger?
If I knew you back then, God knows who I would be
Walking in semi-circles
To shape this baby face

A picture portrait of you, you’re pouting
Plucked from the days where you couldn’t feel a thing
A thousand words and always counting
But you, I can’t explain

No Sleep – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

Pushed away with all your might
Is it bad
If you want them back?
So you relied on your hindsight
You had it all
But it’s all you had

Dig yourself deeper like a lie
I’m moving slow
I’m fast asleep
Double knotting all the ties
To the friends, I had in 2016
And the showers brought May flowers to their waiting room
(Your name in italics a product of habit)
Vase half full with holy water
You were holy too
(A swan song in static so melodramatic)

And you couldn’t put it better with them holding your tongue
I’ll just say I can’t remember because I don’t like who I was
Cold to the touch and never warm enough

So you’ve settled on sleeping forever
Mark my hеight with pen and measure
An oldеr soul, was weary in my youth
No daylight to waste
No sleep left to lose

Looked over my last effort to assert
(Speak for yourself you have my word)
No, it’s never been quite like me to be firm
(And even still what’s mine is yours)

‘Cause I haven’t felt right in such a long time
And there’s no sleep left to lose
Just fucking static all the time

And the showers brought May flowers to their waiting room
(Your name in italics a product of habit)
Needed a figure like a father just like salt in your wounds
(A swan song in static so melodramatic)

You said I wouldn’t feel it when you picked me up by the scruff
Perfect posture starts to bow when the weight piles up
Cold to the touch and never warm enough
Warm enough

Blank Slate – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

At arm’s length
But not far enough away
Couldn’t find the strength
To pull you down with me
Should’ve seen your face
When the sun stole the half of it
Won’t you stay up late
So I don’t miss a thing

And I’m so used to the same
I’ll be dragging my feet as I walk away
The love you sent couldn’t stain a blank slate
Would you say your guess
Is as good as mine
Don’t let me forget
‘Cause I will if you let me
Say I knew you best
So I can tell all your friends

That I’m so used to the same
I’ll be dragging my feet as I walk
You’re taking it lightly whenever I talk
These grains of salt are starting to clot
You take it easy, but it’s not

And I’m grasping at straws ‘cause I blew it all down
And I’m spelling each word when they come out of my mouth
And I’m holding my breath every time that I pass your house

And I’m grasping at straws ‘cause I blew it all down
And I’m spelling each word when they come out of my mouth
And I’m holding my breath every time that I pass your house

And I’m grasping at straws ‘cause I blew it all down
And I’m spelling each word when they come out of my mouth
And I’m holding my breath every time that I pass your house

And I’m grasping at straws ‘cause I blew it all down
And I’m spelling each word when they come out of my mouth
And I’m holding my breath every time that I pass your house

Dirge – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

You’re obsessed with dying young in a past life
I can’t convince you otherwise
You used to dream of all the ways that you have died
And I’m the reincarnate killer
Who took you before your time
Leave trace behind
Leave no trace behind

When the family tree
Starts growing
Some phantom limbs
I knew it to be true
Now this kindred kindling
Smoke won’t stop following you
You’re talking in your sleep, the only time I hear you speak
Locked and sealed inside your rib cage
Lays a stomach you won’t feed
And you can hardly hear the ocean in the shell you’ve grown to be
Just vacancy
Just vacancy

Needed a change of scenery (you miss a place you’ve never been)
But I suffocate up mountains
And I sink in every sea (so let me be)
Vicariously living life through me
(When all I want is to feel clean)
You ended up with trust fall wounds
And pins and needles feet

Bet I can hold my breath longer than you can underwater
And I’ll cling to your collarbones
Happily
And you sound just like your father
But your voice carries farther
You won’t grow to be taller
Half asleep

Grab all the guilt you can garner and give it to me
You bite the hand that pulls on your collar
And chew on your teeth

Had a good head on your shoulders
At least until you got older
You know, a steady and slow burn
Still ends in smoke

What started out as a smoulder
Has surfaced; boiling over
When the eyes of the beholder
Are sewn to be closed

I’m breaking bones
And you’re signing my cast
That’s exactly how you’ll wind up dead

I am blessed to be home
I’m possessed by my past
Put a roof over my rotten head

You know exactly where I’ll go when I’m gone
Know that it’s been in the works for so long
Born and raised tending to our trauma bond
Because you know that it’s all we’ve got

Gallows Humour – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

You made it a habit to breathe through your chest
Your skin tailored too tightly, your bones kept arrest
Finding the worst in the best
Because I can’t help but notice you’re losing your voice
Pins and needles persist as you walk on white noise
You used to be bitter by choice

List the things you love
Cross out every one
You sat still as you should
And watched the decor hit the living room floor
Count the corners of
Your steepest obstacles
And like father like son
You’re pulling when push comes to shove
You needed more

Stepping back through the hoops you set out in good times
Well you grew and you grew in yourself, you’re confined
Turning your chin to the sky

So let this God-given guilt
Grace the weight on my shoulder blades
In third person, I struggle for one point of view
Colour code my perception of you

List the things you love
Cross out every one
You sat still as you should
And watched the decor hit the living room floor

Count the corners of
Your steepest obstacles
And like father like son
You’re pulling when push comes to shove
You’re pulling when push comes to shove
You needed more (ow!)

I’ve got too much to live for
And it’s just getting heavier
Forget all the features of each face I meet
Wish me away like a dandelion seed

Everything As I Knew It – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

I let you in, and you took everything as I knew it
And you wore out my name
‘Cause you swore I was going to lose it

Still, if I had the choice
I would take out my voice from the music
So when days feel the same
I can paint on a face for amusement

Well, you marked up my walls
Told me that I looked small at the waistline
You said what’s your excuse
I took up too much room for the first time

I’ve got too much on my plate
I haven’t eaten in days
But I feel fine
I’m just worried and wondering why
If you notice me limping
Well, would you still take me in?
Like baby teeth nibbling
Falling out when they break your skin
How many blocks make a building?
How many times till it’s effortless?
But who am I kidding
When my wit’s not so quick?

Well, it pours when it rains
You were left out all day, you were shaking
And you’re making your mark
Pushing everything hard on the pavement

Well, I let you in
And you took everything just to take it
(Just to take it)
And you wore out my name
Because you know how I ache when you say it, oh
Yeah, you know how I ache when you say it, oh
