Sideways 04:52
Sideways Lyrics by Brianne Sherman Music composed by Tracing Figures Artists of the year Together you and I were never clear Faces and shoulders bare Together you and I were never there Looking back five years I pull you down with me in the dark I could not wait anymore Timing and consequence Together you and I don’t stand a chance As daylight filters in I pull you down with me again and again I could not wait anymore Sideways I fall Naked I crawl to you Silently, a secret part of me knows You’ll never sleep alone But will you stay with me tonight Artists of the year We’ll push it down and never let them hear Focusing on air Together you and I are nearly there The silence ushers in A rush of minor chords and cannon sparks Sideways I fall Naked I crawl to you Silently, a secret part of me knows You’ll never sleep alone But will you stay with me tonight In flames as martyrs Bewildered and bothered Envisioning your fall Won’t be the one you call Please remember our artist life Clearing and counting The evidence mounting You’re better without me Please don’t think to doubt me Please remember I won’t wait anymore

Wait There 03:43
Wait There Lyrics by Brianne Sherman Music composed by Tracing Figures I’ve been around A little numb, little down So I wait there For someone to call Since they brought me down Don’t hear words Not a sound Still I wait there For a thought of my own I’m not asking a lot I’ve been asking around But no one’s home (I’ll break your bones, then I will break you down) And I will follow you down But I won’t remember the sound The voices are gone They were mine For so long And I still wait there For one to come home It’s nothing profound I sit still Make no sound I just wait there For a thought of my own I’m not asking a lot I’ve been asking around But no one’s home (I’ll break your bones, then I will break you down) And I will follow you down (I saw teeth and I heard a whisper) But I won’t remember the sound Started a war Inside my head Couldn’t move on It’s all just wasted time I’m not asking a lot I’ve been asking around But no one’s home (I’ll break your bones, then I will break you down) And I will follow you down (I saw teeth and I heard a whisper) But I won’t remember the sound

The Warmth Beside You Lyrics by Brianne Sherman Music composed by Eric Bateman and Tracing Figures You don’t feel the warmth beside you I see it in your eyes I wait for the warmth to come home It never does, it never will You loved my hows, my whys, my wisdom Loved my lows, my highs Now I feel the warmth has gone out Just because I hope you will Someday feel the warmth beside you See it in my eyes I wait for the warmth to come home Oh but now You’re so cold I don’t feel the warmth within you You don’t meet my eyes I wait for the warmth to come home All because I hope you will Someday feel the warmth beside you Still behind my eyes I wait for the thaw between us Oh but now You’re so cold You don’t feel the warmth beside you I see it in your eyes You cannot feel the warmth beside you I see it in your eyes

I Walked Before Lyrics by Brianne Sherman Music composed by Tracing Figures Yesterday I thought back to the road where We walked before We walked before Now there’s just hot smoke and coals You were there when I said my head felt hazy I walked before I walked before Before you tried to change my mind I thought I saw my name crossed out I swore I wouldn’t talk about How I can rearrange What you think of me I want to rearrange Déranger toute ma vie Je t’ai dit que Tu me rendrais folle Je parle avant Je parle avant Avant que je puisses penser Je te dit que Je veux être silente Je parle avant Toujours avant I thought I saw my name crossed out I swore I wouldn’t talk about How I can rearrange What you think of me I want to rearrange Déranger toute ma vie How can I rearrange What you think of me I want to rearrange (je veux être silente, j’essaie d’être silente) Déranger toute ma vie

Fragile 04:48
Fragile Lyrics by Brianne Sherman Music composed by Tracing Figures Fragile I’m like a child in your eyes You know more Than I know of my mind Too fragile To think or speak or write I run my hands along the wall I hear you outside in the hall You think I’m fragile Too fragile Like the child I can’t see You know more About what’s best for me You think I’m fragile Like this paper on the wall I hear you outside in the hall I see the woman in the wall And she looks fragile I think I’ve gone too far Fragile I see her eyes in the wall A vicious yellow Up and down they crawl But she looks fragile As she creeps along the wall I think I’ve gone too far

Sun Spear 03:26
Sunspear Lyrics by Brianne Sherman Music composed by Thad Baker and Tracing Figures I counted seven scars on your back By sunspears of light through the cracks I could be honest I could be still and quiet I tell you there’s a thorn in my head And look, I have to say There’s nothing to be done If you honestly think there’s nothing to go on I counted seven scars on your skin By sunspears of light streaming in Counted on one hand the ones that I could count on I trace the lines of your spine and say nothing And look, I have to say There’s nothing to be done If you honestly think there’s nothing to go on If you asked me I’d say It’s nothing to be honest If you told me to stay I’d say it’s nothing to be young You did nothing wrong I just want more time You want nothing more I want one more time

Fame and Fortune Lyrics by Brianne Sherman Music composed by Tracing Figures Forgotten name Forlorn and strange You won’t find me begging For a glance of recognition When you see my face You will feel my rage And then you’ll feel my cold derision When you get a taste Stop cold It’s gotten old WOOOOO Stop cold Forget my name Wasted and strange You won’t find me begging for a scrap of condescension Just to get a say I have felt my age And all the weight of my decisions You won’t hear me say Stop cold It’s gotten old Oooooooh Climbed into the cage And now I feel the pain and torture (Fame and fortune)

Kiss Me Goodbye Lyrics by Brianne Sherman Music composed by Thad Baker and Tracing Figures Kiss me goodbye for the last time If you want to Just tell me and I’ll know it’s true We sat in the light, sat in the light Of your front room I wanted to be in your arms, too Remember the time we drove through the night? Like you wanted to No one could clear my head like you Lying sometimes Denying sometimes How much I wanted you I wanted to be in your arms, too You kissed me goodbye for the last time Like I told you to Then we watched the man on the news You turned to the side Said, “Do you believe this guy? But just in case he’s right I think that I should say I love you” Remember the time we drove through the night? You said you needed to No one could cloud my head like you Lying sometimes Denying sometimes How much I wanted you I wanted to be in your arms, too

Every Day 04:25
Every Day Lyrics by Eric Bateman Music composed by Eric Bateman and Tracing Figures Back in the day We were friends I try to forget but I can’t Promises made, they are gone Here we are We can’t talk about it Every day we are apart Every day a little easier to drift away But harder to see the shore
