lyrics: 

it’s dead and cold here;
the wisps of golden warmth are waning from the 
dead and cold air;
the listless voices whisper that it’s time to
go disappear,
hide myself away under the ground that
consecrates you,
builds you up and breaks you down.

dig and cleave this shell of ice
deep relief from endless night
figure weak but still alive
bears unsheathed a restless mind

a chilling glimmer—
a cheerful glimpse of color that rebels against the
chilling winter—
a glow of extraordinary hope withering
in eclipses—
lies in the snow, beneath the frost;
wistful glances
won’t help you find the petals that you've lost.

far too dark for you here
i’ll lift you up to somewhere clear
but roots entwined bind to earth
i guess it’s time to let you go

roots entwined bind us to earth
felt just right to let you go
maybe roots can conquer dirt
and stems aligned can stand alone

Gray

ashes, dust, and clay
suffocating dreams
guilty and wishing it all gone

take the roof away
take away these walls
fill me with the emptiness of freedom

let me breathe

crystal glimmering
blue infinity
fill me with the terror of amazement

open up the sky
liberate my mind
show me that there's more than this to being

Down

lyrics:

forge a costume, build a fort
do like others do; the sport is more important than your health
hold your breath, don't make a sound
do it right, maybe you'll fit into a crowd
but you're faking--and so are all the other strays
seat was taken
you never had it anyways

toughen up and wear a smile
maybe you can focus for a while on yourself, in the meantime
hold a grudge or let it go?
nothing lasts forever you know
what's a friend? 
not something you make in disguise
where's it end? 
some place you don't have to hide

Hide

lyrics:

High up
Atop a place where we are free
Above the distant canopy that keeps us inside
Slow down
Just let this last a little more
We built a castle 'long the shore, got swept out by the tide
Hold on
To dreams born in the sinking sand
That grasp and latch to any hand who won't be swallowed
Under
A blue that ambles toward the sun
A black and white, kaleidoscopic, dizzy, aching hollow

And soon as I was steady, came lapping at my feet
Plunging breakers, playfully, inviting me to bleed
Carried me to heaven, then thrust me down into the dirt
Adrenaline knows better than to give voice to hurt

Strung out
Not sure why or when or where
The feeling we're no longer there has cut me into pieces
Locked in
By things I thought I'd never say
I hate it when you go away, but also that you're here
Keep far
Enough for me to hear my thoughts
To clear away imaginary rings of rusted gold
Come close
Enough for you to share your doubts
To tear away this velcro-clad elastic band of hope

And all the water from the heavens came crashing to the pavement
A bath of holy excremental punishments and aimless, anxious pacings
Baptized by a bleeding heart--aorta blocked, cathartic scars
My mind is gone, my soul is lost, but still we are

And soon as I was steady, came lapping at my creed
Purgatory, playfully, inviting me to bleed
Carried me to heaven, then cast me down to earth
Love ain't no adrenaline; it's born and bled from hurt

Each and every moment treasured by this haunted mind
Takes on a meaning different, leaving what I felt behind
Sure as every cloud runs dry, I know the day will come
So hold your cloudy skull up high, force yourself to carry on


Coda

lyrics:

The sun has set, the day is gone
I guess it felt like going home
The dull blue-grayness stretches on
And everything becomes one

Waste away, fade and die
Into the void, into the sky
It all disappears, but you stay alive

Watch the headlights flashing by
Watch the clouds pass in the sky
Time is cruel; I wonder why
I couldn’t even say goodbye

Fading pictures are all I've got
Blur together, turn to rot
I keep thinking back to then
Living it over and over again

Dusk

lyrics:

right now
i'm not so much myself as i was
take a look around and i don't know what i am doing here
right here:
that's all you need to know for now--
look ahead keep walking ask no questions, dear

today, there's not much time to hesitate
wait, what's the meaning anyway?
days pass like we don't notice in a haze

maybe
i'll stop, drop, and roll through these lows
lazy
i wanna fight against it but i don't know what i'm fighting for
living
is not the same as being alive
breathing
is sometimes all you need to wake up

today, there's not much time to hesitate
wait, what's the meaning anyway?
days pass like we don't notice in a haze

Sleepwalking

He said, “I’ve tried I just can’t shake it,”
“No, you need belief enough to break it.
Sometimes all the rights are wrong and the bridge is better burning
Maybe it’s time you held on to your earnings
Maybe it’s time that you both started learning”

So spread your fingertips and listen as the water fills the drain
There ain’t no difference now, no difference can be made
Flip the hourglass and wonder as the time falls grain by grain
Am I exemplary, or am I just the same?

Time has a habit of revealing
Where you’ve broken, and where you’re still healing 
And turns out all you thought you’d built stood atop a splintered earth
Maybe it’s time that I started to earn it
Maybe it’s time that I started learning
Maybe I’d have done just the same
Maybe I’ve become what I hate

So spread your fingertips and listen as the water fills the drain
There ain’t no difference now, no difference can be made
Flip the hourglass and wonder as the grains fall back in time,
Would you listen to yourself, to your own advice?

I am what I am;
No tricks and no disguise
Well, if that’s true then maybe you’d be better off lying
I feel what I feel
In my heart and in my mind
Well, that’s acceptable until it infringes upon mine
