LYRICS ‡‡‡‡ Turn these awful hands into hooves, and I will never learn how to shoot. I remember that day I took walk through the forest and tucked myself away Still I'm trying to find that day So I'm trying to tuck myself away So I'm trying Still I'm trying So I'm trying Still I try

LYRICS >><?? We had almost dated for a year When doubt began to whisper in my ear 'You've got it good' they told me 'You're just upset don't worry' - Talk about the weather. But there was still that nagging, That something leaving me hanging Wasn't gonna get better So I told the tides 'tear me away' Now we're placed a thousand miles away And it's definitely healthier that way Sometimes there's still that nagging But generally it's passing, Like a Sunday Morning I've got it good they tell me, No need to oversell me Tides have yet to bore me So I told the tides 'tear me away'

LYRICS: °‚‚‹‹———˜<< This is the part where the rapping starts, yeah The one and only song where I will feature this art I didn’t want to do it, for the fear of going through it Cause I’m not a real rapper just a kid with some heart But, you know we’re gonna have a great time tonight Despite the fact that repping really gives me a fright I thought I’d find a friend who would be willing in the end Couldn’t book one but I’ll tell ya that I barely even tried So here’s a great example of the things that bind us, The fickle indecision that will surely find us You can’t do something new, for the fear of falling through The invisible trap doors we leave behind us We are currently arriving at the end of the verse I hope you like it now better than at first Should I keep going, or stop here knowing that forward progress might just be reverse? yeah yeah no no no I said yeah yeah no no no This indecision has got to go I said yeah yeah no no no Lemme tell ya something that’s been on my mind It’s been nipping at my brainstem for the longest time What is hesitation? And in a situation, What is it that takes our brains offline? I read about a hundred people on a plane They thought their lives were relatively sane Till the ceiling ripped right off them, this doesn’t happen often But what would you do if you met the same Most of them just sat calmly wondering why Now, and not before, they could see the sky Some started to unbuckle, while others merely chuckled But in the end just ten made it alive My point is indecision is a binding path It keeps us seeking normal, status quo will last But if you only step out, just stick your little neck out You’ll find your mind will do the things you ask

Home it's like a city that's overgrown I'm coming down with the feeling that's going round Somebody help me up Somebody help me up I'm down in the heap Drowning in deep water please will Somebody lift me up Somebody lift me up I'm down in the heap knee deep and the water's rising Somebody help me up // I've lost everything I had Somebody help me up I'm down in the heap // but I still believe in good Drowning in deep water please will Somebody lift me up // Lend my hand to someone else Somebody lift me up I'm down in the heap // and together we'll get home knee deep in the water take me In the heap we are alone, But together, together we will find our own This place called home Yes together, together we will find our own This place called home Life and and memories there's no replacing

LYRICS /\/\¨¨Í∏/\∏ It was early January Snow was falling, falling heavy And I went out looking in the dark, For you Green grass grows on charcoal hills, Now washed white, forever still Searching in the moonlit darkness for you, For you I lost you by the overlook Your footprints vanished in the white Shadows fall to either side where I lost you, I lost you I lost you by the overlook Bitter wind whipped at my eyes Forever starting at the site where I lost you, I lost you It was late in February Blizzard stopped, but still I'm staring Waited for the snow to clear to find you, to find you But I never left the house Never tried, never went out Never fought the cold again to find you, to find you Now it's March and winter's through New grass pushes through the snow And I don't know the place where I can Find you

Lungs 04:50
LYRICS ====~~ She lies motionless in bed Smoldering like a cigarette And I could tear myself away If loving was a choice to make She's smoking, I'm breathing Her air in as it's leaving Her lungs are So beaten No words for what I'm seeing Holding her lighter to the wind Love is the drug that pulls me in And I'd know the risks I take If loving was a choice to make
