Lyrics:

The morning light pours on the hill
The winds have all died down
A path that once was buried
Has a reason to be found

The trail leads deeper in the woods
It twists and turns around
What do you know
There’s heard an awful sound

Two tall pine trees stand in your way
And suddenly through the snow
Comes an opening to whisk you away
Where else would you go?

Through the red door
Through the red door
Through the red door

The door is closed behind you
The wind has slammed it shut
Left to your own devices
In this land of who knows what!

It’s all strangely familiar 
But all still so surreal 
What do you know
There’s something in the fields

So atop the highest mountain peaks
Or in the caves of ice and snow
Faeries and creatures play
Lost and stranded
You must find your way home
But such is winter’s way

Through the red door
Through the red door
Through the red door

Winter's Way

The Red Door

LYRICS: 

One night while staying in this little town
There’s a knock upon my door
My eyes deceive me when I look out the window
There’s really no way to be sure

After all these years without you, no closure to be had

It reignites my
Reignites my
Reignites my flame for you

Reignites my
Reignites my
Reignites my flame for you

Brushing off the clumps of snow from your long, brown matted hair 
Sitting, warming, by the fire, for hours we’ve so much to share

One thing leading to another and then so to bed

It reignites my
Reignites my
Reignites my flame for you

Reignites my
Reignites my
Reignites my flame for you

Flame

Lyrics:
One day I was walking around my world
And I built a cathedral to our Lord
One day I opened my world and evil antichrist demon children came
And then they started speaking profane

*I'm going to blow the whole fudging mountain*
HECK
*I kill animals because I am a destitute meat-lover*
HECK
*I am a liberal*
HECK

This is my Christian Minecraft Server
This is my Christian Minecraft Server
This is my Christian Minecraft Server

I banned them all
They burned it all
I’ll kill them all
DEUS VULT

I left for the day and when I returned
The evil antichrist demon children were back
And blowing up my whole world

THIS IS HECKING TERRIBLE

I turned on whitelist
I turned on whitelist
I turned on whitelist
Because this is my Christian Minecraft Server

LYRICS

Hi *SORRY*

This might be the last thing I write to you. If you dislike me or just don't want to be part of each other's lives anymore I get it. I could have done a lot better and I'm still on my way to forgiving myself for some of the mistakes I made. One thing I'd like to formally apologize for is how I dealt with intimacy of all kinds. That wasn't fair to you and I think about how I could have done better often. All that being said, if some part of you does want to try to be friends again, I want you to know that I'd like to be too.

I've been contemplating contacting you for a few weeks. When I went home for winter break I started remembering all our memories we made in *HOME*. Then I thought of *NEVER HOME AGAIN*. Then we came back up here for the spring and everything started coming back in a huge rush and I realized that you're still intensely important to me. It feels so wrong to just fake a smile and say hi whenever I see you. I don't want that to be how the last year of us being on this campus together is spent.

I'm not sure if initiating contact is the right thing to do in this situation. I've wanted to, but with you being with *BETTER MAN*, I figured the decision as to whether or not to remain friends should start with you. After all, I don't want to put a stress on you guys by being *that* ex-boyfriend, you know? If you want to move on and let our friendship exist only in the past, I understand. Even if that's the case, I'd love some confirmation of that. Please don't feel bad if the answer is no, and you don't have any obligation to reply if you'd rather not.

Since it's a possibility that this might be the last time I talk to you, I suppose I should say some things. You'll always be a big part of my life. You were with me through some of my most transformative years and you helped me through some really scary times. I'll never forget that. Thank you for spending part of your life with me. I'd love to get food sometime if you're up to it.

Love,
Joey

Love,

LYRICS

I don't know what they're doin' to me
I don't know what they're doin' to me
I don't know what they're doin' to me
I did not consent to a search
So let me be

They say he keeps the door shut
Never hurt a soul but
I've seen through, the hole's cut
I know better
He is quite the monster
Yes, he tried to conquer
My true love, my best friend
Im glad that it ends

Hahahahahahahahahah

I bet he's doing it right now
That shithead
He's probably cleaning out the closet looking for you
To clean out both beds

But you're mine, because you want to be
No obligation, I'm not entitled.
Not like him,
The only negative's I can't play that piece in your recital

He'd never let you complete sentences
He'd never understand your references
But I do, this Sly Cooper's
Better than him with no calluces

I'm sorry that your first time
Had to be with a man who's so bad
I say to her after having
The best sex she ever had

It's so funny I am in tears
That you stayed with him for three years
When I was right in front of you
Oh he's sad? Then boo hoo hoo

I don't know what they're doin' to me
I don't know what they're doin' to me
I don't know what they're doin' to me
When you're not here, that monster can is like
A tumbleweed

They say he keeps the door shut
Never hurt a soul but
I've seen through, the hole's cut
I know better
He is quite the monster
Yes, he tried to conquer
My true love, my best friend
I hope that he dies

I'll break his neck!!!

He made you feel like what?
That sniveling shiesty fuck
He made you feel like that you could not drink
Without him giving up on you

That's great, now he's a person to hate
Do not worry because I can relate
I too would be made uncomfortable
If he still used me to try to get off to

When I didn't want intimacy with him
Can he not understand that his every whim
Is not others around him's desire to grant
Just 'cause he likes to think that he keeps it scant

But he made you feel that there was something wrong with you
A gross motherfucker who deserves a massive few
Punches, but I'll pull them because you asked
I might hate him but at least I'm not an ass

He does not deserve your presence
A breeding ground of pestilence
He's a danger to everyone
Say the word and he'll be done

I don't know what they're doin' to me
I don't know what they're doin' to me
I don't know what they're doin' to me

LYRICS

I AM NOT A MONSTER
I CAN'T BE THE MONSTER
I WON'T SEE THE MONSTER
INSIDE THIS A MONSTER
DON'T WANT BE A MONSTER
I AM NOT THE MONSTER

I promise
I promise
I'll settle down with something

I promise
I promise
I won't see nothing

I promise I won't make mistakes
That I see other people make
They're not for me
I can't make every one.
I'm not entitled to that

And then when I'm older
Well past my best years
I won't think
"It's not the same, it's not the same, it's not the same"
Don't get me wrong, my life will really never be the same ever again. Not like it was with you. It will be forever changed.
I'll just learn to prefer it... That way
But it's not coming naturally
Not coming naturally

I promise to live my life
With the intent of being in spite
Of every way I treated you
I don't need you to see

Even if it was you I'm always botherin'
shits gotta be better than fatherin'
Or at least how I expect it to be.

And if I meet someone who's more of a convincer
Than the first few months after I kissed her
I'll make sure to be

A better father than mine
Just as he was better than his.
I'll continue the line, the lineage.
Or I won't.

I don't know if I have what it takes
To make a life that follows mine great
Without passing my damage on in collateral

It wasn't you who convinced me of that.
I swear it wasn't you who convinced me.
I promise
I want to love you until I die.

A Promise
