Window 02:23
I leave my window open I'll slip out if I have to My room is always frozen It locks me in my place I hope when this is over Your wine will all be ready You'll need to drink away Your guilty sense of power I'm picking up my loved ones And drowning all my sympathy Says, "I'll see you next year." Though it seems unlikely My windows always open I won't look back to see it Halfway to my destination I'll never fully find it It's the chase that gets me high Leaving everything behind

Pillow Talk 02:37
I can already feel the outline Of a ring on my left hand And every month I'm gaining incentive In greater levels than the last Fog surrounds my body, Keeps me cloudy, unaware But there's always something new to see Each time my vision clears We're often stepping into quicksand Like it's as easy to get free As it is to let it swallow us, Let our tired bodies sleep It's not a conscious choice, But it's a being of its own As real as me to you, or you to me In the safety of our blankets Our pillow talk will one day save our lives In those moments before sleep has left us static as they come This is bigger than I could ever be Try to remind myself my wants are so much smaller than they seem Grasping on to some selfless behavior That I will never reach

Theme Song 01:19
4.
I feel as though it's fruitless I've run out of things to say The exhausting hands of winter Cement you in your own words Respectful, but seldom heard You tried to reason with a brick wall Even I though it would budge Oh how wrong I was, oh how wrong we were It's the nature of a brick wall to stand boldly in its place I thought that you were mighty Even though you had your flaws She tried her hand at digging you out of the hole Where your morals cease to grow Label me inhuman It's easier that way Write me off as trouble, Corrupting precious family Baptize away the blame (Cause you could do no wrong)

Comfortable 03:57
Toss me the rope Teach me to climb The higher we grow The more I lose my mind The trouble with finding your own path The road is started, but never complete Tamp down the grass in the garden Carve out that road with your feet I'm never as afraid of my failure As you are afraid of your life The shadow of death seems to haunt you While I brought him into my light The trouble with starting your own fire Is gathering twigs and dry leaves Sift through the floor of the forest It's there you will find all you need
