Comfort 05:08
Steal Steal the music from these lungs Tell me that I'm too young to understand the ways of man You know you can't I know you can't Still Still I'm awakening Open my eyes to feel the wild, cold air Touching my skin, the rain is pouring down Causing my dreams to be realized now Tell me you understand it all and I don't believe that you never fall Thoughts will deceive us every time and it's a miracle when we can walk the line Of black, grey and white, random or true and I can see it now, just one or two The ideas that define the truth and the lies I can see it only when I open my eyes What I'm saying is that we've been laying here We all could move, yet we've been staying there The comfort which binds is calm and tame Deep inside I know we're quite the same We're sleeping, sleeping our lives away Though I know we're the same at least I can say I'm not letting these eyes go to waste Still Still I'm awakening Open my eyes to feel the wild, cold air Touching my skin, the rain is pouring down Causing my dreams to be realized now

The elephants will come out from under the carpet Then my heart will be just an empty apartment When everybody knows what a wicked soul I have Honesty, come to me The elephants will come out from under the carpet Then my heart will be just an empty apartment When everybody knows what a wicked soul I have Honesty, come to me Honesty, come to me like a thief in the night Tear a gorgeous hole through the center of my life Honesty, come to me The elephants have died all under the carpet Now my heart is just this rotting apartment My soul will walk around wishing for company but no one wants to walk into this empty apartment So set your elephants free

How could I express this level of grief? Will I ever tell you I miss you? The worst part of it is that time never slows down for me to think

Pineapple! 06:24
Let us know if you're going down today Should we be waiting to catch you if you fall? The one thing I couldn't bear to watch is your fragile frame collide with the ground Let us know Let us know I wouldn't write this song if I didn't know there was hope for you The only thing I couldn't bear to watch your fragile frame collide with the ground I can't save you I wish I could I just want you to be okay

Depressed 04:14
I'm depressed in the best kind of way I can see the words you want to say Tunnel vision makes the world seem so grey Thoughtful hearts think in the strangest of ways I love the hidden wisdom that sadness brings a sea of pain with precious stones buried in the ocean's floor I've begun to see past the sting and love the journey I'm depressed in the best kind of way I can see the words you want to say Tunnel vision makes the world seem so grey Thoughtful hearts think in the strangest of ways Let's sit in our emotionally deranged state and wonder if we'll ever get a clean slate a nice calm, no trace of something out of place I'm trying to work this out before I die I'm trying to work this out right now

I watch and I know that these trees do not care about me I feel that my thoughts should not follow the tracks about me Sorry I cannot walk everywhere The fog of this war resists the grasp of my head Sorry we cannot repair The fallacies of our minds or the musings of our heads I watch and I know These stars do not know about me I fear that my thoughts Tend to mold to the earth about me The wind will blow when I'm very far away from it The truth will persist When no one knows about it
8.
On dark, winding roads The landscape becomes serene the RPMs increase I'm so close to empty The trees envelop my thoughts In a blanket of space This car is trapped inside with me When the noise of the road Drowns out the world It's something close to silence I feel that I am close with you It's late in the day I've forgotten who I think I am And I can be myself again Something close to silence The RPMs increasing And I feel that I am alone with you God, you are the end to my means I just want you to get to me Your Spirit's enveloping It's unobtainable to me Yet you give it so freely when I ask Lift my foot from the brake Careen away You'll steer now And I'll watch My speed's continuously increasing I'm continuously decreasing As you're continuously increasing

There should be a sign on my forehead It's not safe here Our thoughts are strange I don't know where they come from and I can't tell where they lead These stranger thoughts There's some stranger's thoughts that are in my mind There should be sign on my forehead It's not safe here Stranger thoughts Stranger thoughts couldn't fill my mind
10.
I have the experience of a child And the worries of a man They twist up my thoughts Causing the wrinkles in my brain to grow deeper Time urges on The regrets I know I'll acquire When I am old and grey and the wrinkles in my brain grow deeper The days grow shorter Life seems temporary now Sanity flies out the window And I'm left holding onto you I'm holding onto you I'm simply concerned with being okay I won't end up asking, "How did I end up this way?" Too many dissatisfied souls Will look into the mirror today And realize their chance is gone Realize their life happened without them
