Breathe Under Water

I've earned my swollen glands
I'll make no small demands
We've got it all right here
My eyes can see at night
My angels swim in light
We've got it all right here
I can breathe under water
Alright
I’ve gone all night
I've done alright
I'm done alright
Born into sink or swim
Baptized by oxygen
We've got it all right here
We take the shortest breaths
We die the longest deaths
We've got it all right here
I'm not coming up

I know I’ll be back for summer
And I know you said you never would
I know this is one of many
I guess I should learn to lose
I got all the breaks
But I broke them anyways
I just can’t help myself I guess
You’ve got all the answers
I’m just short of center
Even if my mind is scattered
My eyes can see oh so clear
I know I promised but I can’t quite deliver
This one-way train is heading straight to the ether
I know I’ll be back for summer
But I know you are gone for good
You’ve got all the answers
I’m just short of center
Even if my mind is scattered
My eyes can see oh so clear
You’ve got all the answers
I’m just short of center
Even when I follow faster
Even when I’m climbing ladders
Even if I’m still the lowest
Even when I’m out of focus
Even when I’m never noticed
Even when it seems so hopeless
You may have all the answers
But when I’m faced with ever-after
Even though my mind is scattered
My eyes can see oh so clear

Hold On Tight
05:15

The water looks so blue
I can see right through
So put your hand in mine
There’s nothing left to do
But hold on tight
It was a heavy haul
You were designed to fall
So put your hand in mine
There’s nothing left to do
But hold on tight
The sun was warm and bright
Don’t have the will to fight
So put your hand in mine
There’s nothing left to do
But hold on tight
We’re from outer space
Or so it seems the case
So put your hand in mine
There’s nothing left to do
But hold on tight
There's nothing left to do but hold on tight
Put your hand in mine and close your eyes
There's nothing left to do but hold on tight
So put your hand in mine

Time is on the run
And night has finally come
It trickles through the door
Broken and pristine
I’m somewhere in between
I close my eyes again
I’m forevermore
Dismantled to the core
By the absence you create
The lights have all burned out
The silence sounds so loud
And time is standing still
Alive another day
It doesn’t feel that way
The clock hands march along

I'm melting away
Now everyone is gone to stay
But if I had choose I'd go it alone.

We All Fall
03:39
|

We all fall down a little faster than the day before
We all get drenched in the middle of the lightning and the thunderstorm
We've got a price to pay
We've got a voice to say uninvited guests don’t get to stay
We can always clench them shut
But I'd rather be buried with eyes open wide
We don't belong anyhow
We don't have anything at all
We all take turns deciding who is wrong and who is right
We all return to fighting as if the world is painted in black and white
We don't belong anyhow
We don't have anything at all
We all belong to the ages and once we're gone we're gone for good.

Mars Hill Chicago, Illinois
Mars Hill is a rejection of the relentlessly loud and unvaryingly fast.
The group, based in the upper-Midwest,
typically consists of John, Neal, and Chafe. Together, their guiding principles are to exert patience, explore the spaces between notes and allow the songs to evolve, whether in dynamics or structure, from one performance to the next.
