Winter in the north Have you heard about the sun I haven't seen it for months, for months It's a different kind of light Casting shadows on the walls We gathered 'round the fireplace as The snow began the fall When the presence of a different kind of light Consumed us all Frozen roses holding poses by the road, a windless day Still as death they say Icing over, total closure, growing cold, the pointless hope That you would meet me halfway And in the presence of a different kind of light I turned away I turned away I turned away

Puzzlebox 05:03
Blue light filters, no screens after ten Wake up tomorrow and do it all over again Do it all over Cause I know this puzzlebox Like the back of my hand Twisting the pieces Supine in the desert sand Under clouds on summer days Wondering what it contains When dreams are possibilities With different ways to rearrange them I fill myself with the silence that breathes in empty rooms Until my cup is brimming I'll stay in the everyday I vaguely awaken beneath a red sky that glows With less limitations as to where my mind can go So I go so I go I know this puzzlebox Like the back of my hand Twisting the pieces Supine in the desert sand Under clouds on summer days Wondering what it contains When dreams are possibilities With different ways to rearrange them I fill myself with the silence that breathes in empty rooms Until my cup is brimming I'll stay in the everyday (woo) All of the answers in the sky that day The rain came down and soaked the ground And in the evening light and the falling water We could find no life at all In that water

Focusing on Concentrating on not thinking So many thoughts Leaving me in no man's land Barbed wire fences Bloody from the last stand Long quiet walks Forgetting how to talk your language When so many die Waiting here in no mans land Never knowing why And never getting second chances If time would let you be whatever you want to be Then what would you want to be Even I can't stop you now Just bury me in the ground Walk into the light We're passing through the honesty machines There's virulent entities Coursing through our bloodstreams Coursing through our bloodstreams And so many die waiting here in no man's land Never knowing why

Donner Party 03:44
There's a way back out But it's closing fast You're looking out the window As we roll past your house These morning skies Performative disguises We cling by the We cling by the We cling by the We cling by the Threads That weave between our heads And tread Across the dirt where it all ends It's not callous or shallow To just leave Morning comes And morning goes The frost on the windshield melts As the high winds now ebb low What did the Donners do, well What did the Donners do What did the Donners do, well The Donners ripped each other To shreds They were only human in their own head They tread Across the dirt where it all ends It's not callous or shallow to just leave When the threads That weave between our heads Are shred Across the dirt where it all ends Where you said Oh can we still be friends Where you said Oh can we still be friends Now that's callous and shallow

Cold hands We wrap them up in grand plans Our city by the lakeside Remembering when you were mine When our friends deserted us like soldiers And their fear had finally froze them over Oh how they run Feels like my body weighs a metric ton Where will you place turst in Your iron world when the rust keeps spreading And where will you hide when the fumes choke you Into a brilliant blue Oh what a brilliant blue The air inside your lungs a gift You cannot return Swapping faces, changing places At every opportunistic turn I wonder why our friends deserted us like soldiers Coming home from your wars had finally froze them over Oh how they run Feels like my body weighs a metric ton Where will you place trust in Your iron world when the rust keeps spreading And where will you hide when the fumes choke you Into a brilliant blue Oh what a brilliant blue

You're on your own Yeah you're on your own You're sown to the ground Always dragging me down Well down we go, yeah I left the stratosphere At escape velocity So that you wouldn't catch me But no one can catch me now You don't remember me at all It seems like every night i'd call Committed to grow despite my need to be small So if you want to forget, then i hope you forget Yeah if you want to forget, then i hope you forget If you want to
7.
Entering a chasm I asked you whats inside The gates that open wide There's no better place to call home Than where you hide Isn't it a gorgeous view Ask me what Stockholm syndrome Can do for you When you're caught comfortably Down below the ice Anything you want is yours Don't worry about the price you pay Our human lives may seems short When we're gambling in years And some part of this must reflect the whole But no one can hear you down here Save your last breath for your soul And that bigger picture Is slowly fading Until it's nothing

Paralyzed 06:30
The rising of the tide you've been foretelling The deficit in your voice fed into the swelling When I crash down There's no one around No one around Tonight, I'm gonna learn the hard way Cause tonight is gonna stay with me for the rest of my life And you, you've gotta live with you for the rest of your life But how can you You left me paralyzed The shining of the stars that night so vivid In the stillness of darkness close your eyes you'll hear it As it goes Something like this Oh, something like this A light glow is coming from your fingertips Tonight I'm gonna learn the hard way Cause tonight is gonna stay with me for the rest of my life And you--you've gotta live with you for the rest of your life But how can you, How can you You left me paralyzed Oh god damn you God damn you You left me paralyzed Oh god damn you You're heading back inside But you can't hide No, no, no, no, no, no, no, not this time God damn you You're heading back inside But you can't hide No, no, no, no, no, no, no, not this time
9.
When I found you down here You were barely breathing When the day is clear We can get out of here Decided forever ago That I'd never let go Yeah, there's bound to be fear But when the day is warm And we've weathered the storm The fading familiar glow Of the chamber echoes Yeah, sure, there's bound to be fear But when the day is clear We can get out of here Decided forever ago I'd never, I'd never, I'd never, I'd never let go I'd never let go la la la la we can get out of here

The Room 04:42
An ashtray full to bursting Water but you're not thirsty, are you If I could have just one day A Saturday or Sunday would you Come back to me From that place you had to go so urgently Circuitry you purposely kept circling the drain I know we came from nothing So we'll go back to the nothing in your head And I don't wanna fight about it Feel the new sun waiting for your skin to warm And in the valley there's a sound to hear But there's no right or wrong in silence Feel the new breeze waiting for your mast to catch It'll take you farther than a simple stones throw As I watch you depart from the station platform And in the mountain air the clouds are moving into rain I hope you reach through the mists To purple sunsets, shrouded dreamscapes casting space Between a and b as we journey Not really knowing why we hurry I'll catch the next one If you stand still And feel it stirring your restless ghost Reoccurring is the best you knew and you knew It's all there is to be All there is to be is to be, is to be, is to be, is to be It'll take you farther than a simple stones throw As I watch you depart from the station platform It'll take you farther, it'll take you farther It'll take you farther, it'll take you farther An ashtray lying empty Oh who was it that sent me to this room Was it you who sent me to this room
