Lyrics: 

Verse 1
I like who I am 
As I cross two fingers behind my back

Verse 2
Voice cracked like an egg
Mad that I didn't come up with that

Verse 3
Blushed silence and red 
As I plight my existence to what you have said

Chorus
I want to believe 
In everything and nothing

Verse 4
Plucked out of the sea 
Smiled ear to ear as you chose me

Verse 5 
Edify my beliefs 
Cut my hair short, locks break free

Chorus 

Verse 6 
Throw me back to my home 
Nothing yet all that I have known x2

Winnow

Lyrics: 

Hollow, mouth sick
Words crash, shipwreck
Stumble on my consonants
Say it fast no recollect

We laugh at others' laughs
You break a string, we crack up 
Eyes glance, notes read
Bold sun confident

And you are the reason 
That I remember it
And you, are the reason
Why my house wasn't haunted

And I know that I am sorry
And I know that I am sorry

Shame built, defy
You tell me it, I ask you why
Burnt red, scarlet
Laugh, hide, subside

You are, a part of me
Protect, pure speak
Guilt crushed, mortify 
You show up and I hide

You are the reason
That I don't forget 
You are the reason
My house isn't haunted

And I know that I'm sorry
And I know that I'm sorry

Not mad, subside
Lost mind, but I try 
Seashell, ear noise
Crumble at my jumbled voice

Stay, wait, regret
Plead, smile forget
Moon stare, sky high 
Eyes bright, sunshine

Stay, wait, regret
Plead, smile forget
Moon stare, sky high 
Eyes bright, sunshine

And I know that I'm sorry
And I know that I'm sorry


Between

Our backs hunched over all the embers
And when I felt my back get warm 
I left the room 

You're quite content with your disaster
But even I can't save you from yourself

Their eyes draw near 
As I try to formulate 
the perfect sentence for the perfect room 
Until someone says it loud and clear, until someone says it loud and clear

And I'm not afraid 
Oh I'm terrified, I'm terrified
And everyone's the same
Oh worn and steady
Worn and steady

Ahhh

And my heart it shakes
I'd rather be the apple
And my heart it shakes
I'd rather be the apple
Than the snake

Your voice seemed calm but somewhat foreign
You said "I love God, but I don't love everyone...the same"

My mind seemed once abundant
but I'd rather be, plain forever
Until today!
