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

Barbed Wire Fences
03:07
|

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

Into a Brilliant Blue
04:57
|

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

Escape Velocity
03:12
|
|||
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

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

The Chamber Echos
04:41
|

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
