EP for the Family

Lyrics:
Shot down, this must have been the hundredth time
you didn't notice, but I couldn't keep myself together
lately, I wonder if this is for me
I just can't see myself with another

But I don't wanna be alone
and I don't know if I can go
another moment by myself

Shot down, I didn't even try this time
as if effort could bring myself to ask her
they're few and far between
and in the end it doesn't matter

(chorus)

Shot down, maybe next time
shot down, maybe I won't be shot down

Shot Down

EP for the Family

Lyrics:
Blood fell upon the white lotus petals
the earth took them back
and bound them together

What cannot be undone
an apology
when life passes on
the soul leaves the body

Her hand took my heart, left me breathless
as I fought for my pulse
her eyes gave the message

What cannot be conveyed
by a melody
when the song comes to an end
can anyone out there hear me?

I ask you these questions
until only one remains

Questions

Lyrics:

A broken heart
an out-reached arm
stretched beyond its limit
to ease a trembling spirit

A red flag
a fallen man
tarnished teeth and broken bones
a childish smile without a home

Let me know
what have we come to
let me know
just what I have to do

O painter, paint me a picture
lavished with a multitude of hues
greens and yellows, reds and blues

O painter, paint me a picture
where a wordsmith meets a songstress
showing beauty without benefit

Painter

Tomorrow

Fast friends, it's just the way it goes
I can't help but smile, thinking about it now
yet I'm still out in the cold

The songstress is a lie, the wordsmith is dead
all that's left are fragments of rhythms here

When I saw her quiet in the corner,
I thought that I had an arm to warm her
but it turns out that she was a glacier
and I fell into the salty brine, alongside
all the others that tried

Looking back, it was all so obvious
when I walked in on that grey day
not a word from you in weeks
it wasn't a death by a thousand cuts
it was a silent farewell

Glacier
