Ember
03:27
|

|
flaming embers rise above
back to a void where they came from
on crowded streets I walk alone
into a world that felt unknown
castles fall into the sea
cascading down the trees
you had not felt this way before
you didn't know it anymore
ashes fell upon the snow
beneath where nothing ever grows
you said you had not seen the light
until you sank below the blight
castles fall into the sea
cascading down the trees
you had not felt this way before
you didn't know it anymore

Broken Thoughts
02:53
|
|||
|
waiting for a time when I could be able to
look at myself and see what you say
broken thoughts crumbling
to the floor again
in shards around my bare feet
lingering
laying against a wall with my heads
buried in my hands again
I cannot fix what's become
broken thoughts crumbling
to the floor again
in shards around my bare feet
lingering

Aqueous
03:06
|
|||
|
rain fall upon the grass
lightning on the distant cliffs
you watched as I fell
into another world
you looked at me to see what I turned you into
the path ahead showed no sign of slowing down
flooding the cracks between
the walls and the ceiling
we sat around our heads
you looked at me to see what I turned you into
the path ahead showed no sign of slowing down
I looked at you and could not see just who I was
for what it's worth you never said much anyway

Woebegone
04:11
|

|
I fractured every part of myself
before I even knew it
everywhere I go I see
nothing I could ever be
trapped inside myself I
see no escape from what I've become
how could I say just what I am
if I don't know
living in the shadow of
those who say it's nothing
just a phase that will decay
but they can't say
trapped inside myself I
see no escape from what I've become
how could I say just what I am
if I don't know
waiting for the confidence to say
what's come over me
glancing at myself I don't know what
it is I see
searching inside to find what
defines my intricate failure
how would I know what this is
when you can't see

Frostbite
04:32
|
|||
|
I woke to a grey sky morning
frost on the windowsill
and I seem to remember
last night time stood still
you walked out the front door
into the snow-covered hills
you would not return
for some time, we both knew
I never thought I'd see
the day you'd leave this town for good
setting your sets on something far away from here
until it wears you out
frostbite starts to set in
vacancy among the trees
I couldn't start to catch my breath
as the moon sank below
the memories began to fade
as the ice melted from the ground
blossoming into a new sympathy
the hole you left could start to fill
