Already, Always

How Do You Leave

Red Light Heaven

TALK IT OUT 

You talk, I cry, you bleed, I die
Your thoughts, my mind
My life’s not mine

Take me away from this place 
where my hearts on my sleeve and my eyes are opaque
Your thoughts my mind
My life’s not mine

Several times I want out I may seem the same
but I’m different today 
I need to talk it out, talk it out
Talk it out, talk it out

Your eyes, I’m blind, your sense, I try
Help me to see, I need company

Take me away from this place 
where my hearts on my sleeve and my eyes are opaque
Your thoughts, my mind
My life’s not mine
My life’s not mine
My life’s not mine 

Several times I want out I may seem the same
but I’m different today 
I need to talk it out, talk it out
Talk it out, talk it out
Talk it out, talk it out
Talk it out, talk it out 

You bleed, I die
Your thoughts, my mind
My life’s not mine
Your thoughts, my mind 
My life’s not mine
Your thoughts, my mind
My life’s not mine
Your thoughts, my mind

Talk It Out

LYRICS:

Here I am again Another lonely Saturday Been a hell of a week Stuck on repeat
Even if I am afraid
Even if I always stand in my own way It’s so hard to break a mold
When you’re standing for nothing
I know
In time, we grow
Even if I run away
Even if there’s ever nothing left to say
Fit my heart into a mold and love for nothing
I won’t
In time, we grow
It’s too soon, so wait a minute I’m told there’s a reason for this Take me to the safest ledge
Feel something so outrageous Say nothings ever moving Everything can’t cease to grow
I know

Slow Devotion

In Time, We Grow

Snow (Dripping Woollen Jumpers)- Firewoodisland

Snow (Dripping Woollen Jumpers)

Our hearts are growing tender by the moment
Recalling our childhood, we are home
Sip a cup of coco in the hour
Lament by the fire, we are home

The smell of snow is the smell of home
Dripping woollen jumpers by the stove

The loving of our kindred, memories
The stable and the pilgrims, treasuries
The peeling of an orange, it is golden
A feeling like no other, we are home

The smell of snow is the smell of home
Dripping woollen jumpers by the stove

Look up, they are gentle, they are calm
Look up, they are coming from afar
Look up, they are here to cover all
Look down at the patterns when you walk

The smell of snow is the smell of home
Dripping woollen jumpers by the stove
