Purpose 03:20
Something on my mind doesn't let me be Something in your eyes makes me skip a beat Something in your words doesn't get to me Something what was it that you said to me? Something I was seeking but it fled from me Something I was seeing but it disappeared Someone I was loving but it turned to hate Somewhere I would come but it could be late Something really heavy is hanging over me Something... must be heaven seems to crash on me Sometimes days go by and I stay on the surface Sometimes I keep clutching at some sort of purpose Something on my mind presses hard on me Something in your eyes makes me skip a beat Something in your words doesn't get to me Something what was it that you said to me?

Glories 04:30
Crawling up my spine Gentle and timid Reach and then touch my eye Become vivid Never thought fear could dry my tears feel like breeze and taste so sweet Round and round I spin the circles tighten change the rhythm, the beat Glad I saw you that day Told you my stories How I plan small escapes My opaque glories Stretching hands nothing there And that's exactly where I'm gonna run Round and round I spin the wicked grin The fingers loose one by one They built the skies and then realized It won't hold still A few will prise yet will be denied For being so real Wish I saw you today I'd tell you my stories How I made my escapes Broke glories

You Melting (free) 04:26
Why? Why are you melting? Slowly impressive and wrong Afraid to understand it So I don't Don't wanna know How it happened at all Where? Where do these winds blow to? Will they embrace you and flee? You go on vanishing into gloom The gloom you've been collecting Around for years There's a window to some lost reverie Unspoken thoughts Trapped in my throat I knew how to breathe And they fade away Before I find a way t stay So it will never work again Why? Why are you melting? Letting me go soon I could have found my answers But I won't You could have found your questions Once and for all I could have found my answers But I won't You could have found your question And wouldn't have to go

Pace 03:36
I go the pace I break my face I do my best to keep the promise But I will always surrender Their hopes It seemed not hard To glue the parts Of my west with their universe If only they were to surrender Their hearts Waiting for my rage To crawl under the rug One's love through my hands And again I am apart I go the pace Don't call the names I turn around though I shouldn't I go the pace I break my face They watch me as I lose And hope I finally surrender And grow old
5.
The sun shone today Staring sightlessly with me at the floor And I was made of clay And muffled boys and girls and cars and trees were breathing outside my door The seasons switched again And I had no clue That my lovely autumn could bring so much pain That feels completely new I was running to you I was loving you Sadly it transpired That I missed that part when it said You burn you dread the fire They say it will pass The city swallows bruises They say time burns dust Fills at last empty hearts with something vaguely useful I know I'll keep looking for the ways To explain to myself the reasons why I still count days I locked I grieve and no I don't want to think through what you did You could not dream anymore
