When I walk home with my feet dragging slow My head bowed, my eyes are on the ground There is glass broken on every road I go down I see the shadow of birds from above flying 'round There are so many it gets dark out for a while I look up and all I see is a grey sky looking back at me I am filled with worry and I remember you said please don't be/not to be

Rakes 02:31

Morning 02:50
In my bed at dawn I know I'm no one I want to fall back into my dream Where you are everyone and everything I wish the day wouldn't start Because I have a lazy heart The pool of my mind is overflowing with my longing and i'm drowning my lungs are filled with your tears
4.
Tides 02:10
It's been a year and the moon is full in the daylight I can feel you pulling me closer by the tide and I heard you've been talking me up in other towns So I avoid your eyes when they're around
5.
Cold Nights 02:36
The world's become chilled our bloods become still it's late into the night and I hate saying goodbye Our breath turns into cloud feet are frozen to the ground I want nothing more than your warmth
6.
Halloween 04:26
I blew my brains out with the blow of my own thoughts splattering them around the room You waited worried and patient as I gathered the pieces of my mind trying to put it together We both know That there are still holes that there are pieces stuck to the walls I'll never be the same I'll never do that again
7.
Broke my head you turned to a ghost and you seeped in through the cracks in my skull and built your home there among the wires So I think of you when I get tired
8.
The world's been shown as a shadow A put on show that we're watching all alone So get a drink and eat a snack Don't worry about a thing Sit down and relax But if you were to turn around Your back to the world A new light would be found So get out of our homes in the ground
9.
There is no such thing as quiet living in the city There is no such thing as true dark living in town There is nothing wild about living inside walls There are some who only live for what they have There are some who only live for what they know I don't have anything and I know nothing So will you comfort me I'm feeling down I've been letting my mind wander around and someday soon it'll be lost and never be found
10.
Forgetting 02:56
When I walk down a road of broken glass I'm daydreaming of the time I saw you last I slow down to the pace of a snail in the (early) morning It causes me to forget where I'm going I always end up lost Days are better when you fill my thoughts
11.
Sunrise 03:36

Hurting Ears 03:02
My mouth is dry from this bitter tea and I am shy It's too loud in hear lets leave But it's freezing out Got frost bitten ears Go back to your house Leave with the hunting gear We walk around and slip on the icy ground My fingers are getting numb and I'm boring you We sit in your car and it won't start I broke your radio and I broke your heart
13.
Giving up isn't easy It takes all of your might but giving to complete strangers takes all of your heart and all of your mind But instead we keep on living and get old and count the rolls on our big guts like the rings on a tree trunk after it's fallen down Wilfully forgetting is absolutely impossible But thankfully living Should be my life's goal So don't give up so quickly until you've felt and heard the ground beneath your feet There're plenty of things to be smelled, tasted and thrown up So what's the use in your giving up Feel the breath of the world Blow it's wind through your stupid curls
