WIEGHT OF SNOW 
by Haku Kim 

Snow Falls. I lean in towards my window 
As I gaze into the dances of the white flakes like a kiddo 
Snow Falls, and my wistful longing follows 
As the memories of my winter years would flicker in the snow 

The sled made out of plastic bags my friends and I rode in 
The snowman that I built with the lover of my past 
A mother who’d forgotten how to play in the snow 
The memories with people that are no longer here 

Snow falls outside my little window 
And the silence only echoes 
In the bedroom full of furniture yet feeling pretty hollow 
But it still falls peacefully out my window 
And the weight of snow will thicken through the years to come 
The weight of snow will thicken through the years yet to come

[Lyrics]

In the wistful foggy morning 
Tall buildings rise and hide 
There’s a man around the corner
And he doesn’t look so fine 

His shoulders droop like winter leaves 
And there’s sorrow in his smile 
Well, little do you know,
He’s been that way for a while 

And he will stop you and ask
If you’ve got a little change 
As he jingles the cup in his hand

Just a little warmth today 
He’s going through the storm
Before you go about your busy day 
Give him a little warmth
 
He had dreams in the past
Even lovers in his bed 
But nothing really mattered
With the devil in his head 

Now he only hears the voices 
And he’s convinced that he is worthless 
And his deepest fears stole his life away

Just a little warmth today 
He’s going through the storm 
Before you go about your busy day 
Give him a little warmth
Before you go about your busy day 
Give him a little warmth

[The Garden]

I used to lay on the bench and watch the sky 
And notice the scents of the lake and the grass nearby 
And I’d bask in the warmth of the sun and close my eyes 
Feeling the world around me

You see now, I barely take slow-walks on the street 
I rarely have time to blow dandelion seeds, I keep 
Trying to stop and catch my breath so deep 

When life gets hard and takes all my strengths 
I long for the place I used to go 
Where time never seemed to end 

Oh, bring me back to the garden
Where the clouds float by so peacefully 
Where my tired heart rests easily 
Bring me back to that garden 

Oh I’m scared cuz I’m in a different place than I’d planned 
I have my goals, but I doubt that I have my place to land
I can keep trying but I’m not a superman 

When life gets hard and takes all my strengths
I long for the place I used to go 
Where time never seemed to end 

Oh, bring me back to the garden. 
Where the clouds float by so peacefully 
Where my tired heart rests easily 
Bring me back to that garden 
Where my tired heart rests easy
It’s a place I’d be so cheerfully 
So bring me back to that garden

[It's Okay to Feel Alright]

It’s early morning I see the sun rise 
Hmm
I hear my heart slowly coming alive 
Da dum da doo da doo dm 
Last night’s tears behind me 
It feels wrong to feel this calm 
Another day, it’s a different day 
It’s okay to feel alright 

Ooooooh
It’s okay to feel alright 
Ooooooh
It’s okay to feel alright 

Cigarrett smoke’s curling high every night 
Oh, the sleepless nights   
The bright light from my laptop’s screen 
It blinks with the blank page for hours
And the weight of my own expectations 
It crushes soul in pieces 
I forget, in the thick of the moment 
It’s okay to feel alright 

Ooooooh
It’s okay to feel alright 
Ooooooh
It’s okay to feel alright
It’s okay to feel alright
It’s okay to feel alright
It’s okay to feel alright
It’s okay to feel alright

It's Okay to Feel Alright (Demo)

[Happy without You]

The sun is longer 
With this daylight saving 
The day is warmer 
Yeah, the Spring has come 

The greens are sprouting 
Yeah the new lives start
But my heart is stuck in the winter

Oh, I wish I could start a 
new life without you 
Oh, I wish I could feel as 
happy without you 
Ooooh 
Happy without you 
Ooooh
Happy without you

I see the flowers 
Well, they make me smile
I’d take a picture but no one to show hmm

All these people 
They seem to go somewhere 
But I’m still stuck in the past 
I wanna move forward but nowhere to go

Oh, I wish I could start a 
new life without you 
Oh, I wish I could feel as 
happy without you 
Ooooh 
Happy without you 
Ooooh
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
