Alone At The Severance 03:41
lyrics
buy track
It was in a bike crash Star of the team A soldier dying from his disease But he couldn’t help it anyway He took too long supporting himself One hand out he was clearing his way He went too far into the clouds And now he’s on his own Wondering what he’s made of now Now he’s on his own I’m a starry eyed skeptic yet running still Alone at the Severance Swallowed my pill Handed the vinyl and waved goodbye This is about you when you’re around A game never-ending when we beat up ourselves The feeling we have is the feeling we’re given We’re believing a lie But it’s alright We’re believe a lie But it’s alright These are the reasons that I give …. I am not hoping for us Believing a lie But it’s alright Believing a lie But it’s alright

Lungs 03:26
lyrics

Looking inward to justify advances My lungs are colored When am I gonna help you Left alone in your rear view When am I gonna help you Found an autumn heart to repay you Unfolding the dust Coded language lost Feeding myself With the bread you got us Milk and honey Dreaming laundry There’s a note inside asking When am I gonna help you Left alone in your rear view When am I gonna help you Found an autumn heart to repay you When am I gonna help you (You were there when I went into my lungs) Left alone in your rear view (You were mine when my language nearly lost and) When am I gonna help you (You were there when I went into my lungs) Found an autumn heart to repay you (You were mine when my language nearly lost and)

Now I'm Running 04:34

You can’t stop it What you’re feeling Alive in a circus Your mind’s been dreaming You think you’re running You think you’re quicker Feeling the pressure And you can’t stop it What you’re feeling Your mind is taking over Your mind is feeding Cynicism And circumventing Wandering out of the country I feel the heat wave I feel the heart ache But now I’m letting go Every breath I take Every time my voice shakes I am letting go Can you disarm me Can you disarm me Can you assure I’m letting go Every breath I take Every breath I take I’m letting go Now I’m running And I can keep it I’m done looking for What I was seeking Now I’m running And child take me Throw me down against the dirt If you open it up Come on and see Anxiety is frail as it makes you and me Simple words With meaning Anxiety it lives in our make believe I feel the heat wave I feel the heart ache But now I’m letting go Every breath I take Every time my voice shakes I am letting go Can you disarm me Can you disarm me Can you assure I’m letting go Every breath I take Every breath I take I am letting go

Don't Open Your Eyes 03:32
lyrics
buy track
I I wish I Could sit alone and waste my time I want to feel my breath Go inside my mind Go inside my mind Shortcut ghost I’m learning to take it all slowly Only flow Noting the pain right in front of me Arrive Just hold my hand And feel alright A virgin to pause Don’t open your eyes Don’t open your eyes Loosen your tongue Let the world know that you’re lonely There’s nothing done Don’t beat up the heart that you’re holding Don’t open your eyes Don’t open your eyes Don’t open your eyes

Anchorage 04:37
lyrics

We all have our dreams Mine was childhood It was grandma speaking And we talked like we never talked laying on her carpet Opened her heart up And then I combed my hair and redid the part that she had started I redid the part that she had started Now I want to hold you And I miss the life before going up Grace and mercy I left you in a wild wind There were chips on her fingers Laughing with us before we got caught through the end of the night But I was growing Why didn’t you warn me That you were sleeping before I knew I was naked Now I want to hold you And I miss the life before going up I hope you know I don’t want to redo the past even when you felt your pain I want our history Not just the part where I started Now I want to hold you And I miss the life before going up It’s the feeling I told you I’m on my own but you wouldn’t ever know You’re on your way You’re on my mind Linoleum stains Following your footsteps You tell me that you can’t keep coming back but I’m (here) in the first place Photo frost But you should’ve known that I’m not letting go now I’m here for the long run I’m here for the real tongue Talking with you for the first time But you told me how to keep it

Makeshift Moses 04:13
lyrics

Can I see your breath Can you open your eyes Are they green Like the pictures always show With your robe And your heart is lightning They say your warmth is frightening That’s what I’m told But is it up to me To finally see what I’m searching for Alone But is it up to me To finally break through on my own On my own If I can’t ask If I can’t go If I’m on my own Will you let me know? If I can’t ask If I can’t go If I’m on my own Will you let me know? Stethoscope reveal me I’m waking up Is that my heart I’m feeling Now I’m staring at the ceiling I can’t believe I’m not believing I’m not alone When you come around When you come around? If I can’t ask If I can’t go If I’m on my own Will you let me know? If I can’t ask If I can’t go If I’m on my own Will you let me know? It was a baby Who was dropped off by his mother That made me feel I’m not alone That maybe We’re all dropped off by each other And made to be brought back together

Ballad Unknown 03:00

I know what was said I’ve got my regrets I’m not claiming innocence Spinning out at dusk Drinking down the loss Again I’m thinking circumstance It’s what we do It’s what we do It’s what we do I am catching on Tongue and lips evolve I am catching on It’s what we do

Owned By Everyone 04:31

I am owned by everyone Owned by everyone I am owned by everyone Can’t you see that you’re just waiting and I’m just waiting? Don’t you see that you’re just saving What are we all saving for? Why are we all keeping it in? Don’t you see that you’re just waiting And I am just waiting? We’re all just keeping it in Why are we all saving? Why are we all waiting? Why are we all saving? Tell me why we are saving? Tell me why we are waiting I want to stop waiting I need to stop saving But I’ll save it for you And if I had it my way We’d spend all night at the bar We’d order our favorite drinks And we’d stare into each others eyes And we’d smile at each other’s jokes And you’d be my heart I’d be yours too Can you feel it can you feel it.

Deconstruct 03:53

I know why you’re lonely I feel it in the air I know you can’t go on alone And I know what you’re searching for But you need the sun You’re already here why don’t you You’re already here why don’t you Deconstruct You’re already here why don’t you Already here why don’t you Deconstruct Patterns that created lovers You’re saying that you can’t I’m saying that I can evolve I see that the river’s gone Evaporation You’ll shift and I will eat my words A delicate dance And we can deconstruct (I don’t wanna be) Enable all the worst ideas I don’t want to be jealous You’ll shift and I will eat my words A delicate dance And we can deconstruct (I don’t wanna be) Enable all the worst ideas I don’t want to be jealous You can keep your wild tooth But don’t make me believe You can flood your house with gold But let me go

Be The One 04:12
lyrics

I know these voices Faceless and grey I don’t think I’m going to be lonely Inside a simple place Cut off from the feeling I’m praying for grace I don’t think I’m going to be lonely Inside of my own maze But isn’t that the thing Isn’t that the thing Hand-holding with our own brains Forcing into shape I never wanted to be the one way to say You’ll never need to explain it all to me I never wanted to be the one way to say You’ll never need to explain it all to me Picking up my words Putting demons at bay I don’t think I’m going to be lonely Inside a simple place Finally I’m grateful Eternal way With the part that’s been fading The horror and the racing I never wanted to be the one way to say You’ll never need to explain it all to me I never wanted to be the one way to say You’ll never need to explain it all to me I never wanted to be the one way to say You’ll never need to explain it all to me

Keep your curtains drawn Nobody sees what’s going on at night No light Covered in the holy dust Doesn’t add up to much tonight Doesn’t add up to much tonight If I wait Will you stay And if I change Can I help you change But if I wait Will you stay And if I change Can I help you change I can tell we’re growing up Who knows if we’re going up With the signs they’re pointing And all the ways they’re leading Systematic drowning out All the fears in your head I feel them deep in my chest Like you’re my brother in the end And if I wait Will you stay And if I change Can I help you change But if I wait Will you stay And if I change Can I help you change

Boy Bjorn Madison, Wisconsin

Based out of Madison, WI, Boy Bjorn is the new solo project from Brian Holl of Foreign Fields. Born out of a desire to capture moments lost, Boy Bjorn's debut album, Mistaken Animals, is full of caricatures and stories from the past. iPods and parking lots in high school. Beauty in the mundane that's forgotten as knowledge grows. Deconstruction and reconstruction. ... more
