Skin 02:29
In the window sill, the light is seeping in I love the way it feels to be in motion I will lose the weight of mountains someday Will you remember our skin was the same? You flew by overnight Shadows are warm, they grow into me I know outside is better, but they see right through me I will lose the weight of mountains someday Will you remember our skin was the same? You flew by overnight There is no one to fight You are far out of sight I'll just have to try to find some other skin

Place To Be 02:25
3.
Spirit 03:25
Your hair was a matter of fact I could not equate to that And her fingers twirl and spin Waiting for these midnight sins Away from me is all you've grown But you know I will not leave it alone Reversal change in my brain When you've grown so cold of any pain And I'm losing my voice and the words to say The love that I knew has ran away Every minute I knew you were leaving Every spirit left it's sting Every day I realize That you see nothing in these eyes Away from me is all you've grown But you know I will not leave it alone
4.
Stars Above 03:23
You flew in a flash of wings and their sting All the kindness they'll never bring While I was laying down to see the stars above They were my only kind of love Feeling my feet underground Well you know you are pulling me down Why should I stay when there's love all around? Running through the brambles and thorns Well your welcome here, it is well worn And your promises, they all have been torn With every breath I take, every body that I break It's a strange mistake to make You've twisted me in half, I crawl to your words on the wall Try to catch them as they fall Feeling my feet underground Well you know you are pulling me down Why should I stay when there's love all around? Running through the brambles and thorns Well your welcome here, it is well worn And your promises, they all have been torn
5.
Always There 03:16
I held you tight, I knew I couldn't win With all of my might, I can't get you out from under my skin You said you wanted keep a part of me inside of you Won't you just let me be, I can make it okay with my head in the blue I'm living in a cloud from before Just waiting for you to knock on my door The chances hiding in your hair Will forget that I was always there A ribbon of stars has tied me to your shoulder blades This has gone way too far, I need to find some quiet shade Your presence has faded, for beyond my chilling sheets Through trouble I've waded, to find where you and happiness meet But I'm living in a cloud from before Just waiting for you to knock on my door The chances hiding in your hair Will forget that I was always there

Fill my boxes with your fever dreams You'll be better come nineteen And If you whisper out of key Send me flying over the balcony There's a pain in your smile stretching out for miles I could cast a spell but you know I'd never tell I could wait here forever but I know you far too well Open my letter, I know you haven't yet It's been a long time, no I won't forget I left a picture, it's could've meant something but you pulled out the fixture and I could sing anymore There's a pain in your smile stretching out for miles I could cast a spell but you know I'd never tell I could wait here forever but I know you far too well
8.
I can hear your footsteps in the doorway I left the door wide open by mistake The wind is light, the sun's so bright behind you You're not welcome here anymore I thought I told you stay away from here Let the muddy waters of my heart row clear All you left me then was grief and sorrow I told you honey, you're not welcome here And if we meet again, Sweet Senorita Well you know that I walk that road again I've never seen another Senorita That could put a loving man through so much pain You left me barefoot stumbling down the hills Wishing for your love and dollar bills The blinders on my eyes were made to block you out Cause it makes me cry just to see your beauty still I think I'll sit down, have myself a beer Wond'rin why the hell I can't have you here You were driving down the forward path, I tried to steer you away Honey can we go back to that day? And if we meet again, Sweet Senorita Well you know that I take that road again I've never seen another Senorita That could put a loving man through so much pain I can hear your footsteps in the doorway I left the door wide open by mistake The wind is light, the sun's so bright behind you You're not welcome here anymore And if we meet again, Sweet Senorita Well you know that I take that road again I'll never meet another Senorita That could put a loving man through so much pain

Clustered on the rail, let the future fail Falling the pale sky that feels so frail Hide behind a tree, escape reality I can only see your eyes speak so softly I will stumble all around 'til I hit the dusty ground I've had visions of what could be, but the present speaks underneath I will never know, but I will make sure to show And I will go away We can try to save love that has decayed My heart is a cave, it's your skin that I crave There's no use in me, threw what's left in me Threw it in the sea, when will I be happy? I will stumble all around 'til I hit the dusty ground I've had visions of what could be, but the present speaks underneath I will never know, but I will make sure to show And I will go away
10.
I want to show you that everything's below And life grows into you, and love will flow through you I will walk into the night, and I'll find everything is alright These hills will fall beneath my feet, and I'll know everything is complete Take off those rags, just breathe, just relax Throw it off your back and picture the past When will it move you? Will the silence soothe you? The sky is the reflection written in your eyes I will lay in a pool of regret, but we all know it's not over yet There's a valley to lay our tired bones, even then we will not be alone Take off those rags, just breathe, just relax Throw it off your back and picture the past
11.
Can't believe you've arrived; where am I to hide? Have the slats in my ribcage gave you a reason to fight? And I don't believe I'm the fine you came back here to collect It was eaten up by the pines and my prophecies were correct But if you ask me again I will throw down my body for you to mend Our tears were frozen, they've all been spent But as time tries to heal, the autumn will end That was the day that I died, you just stood there and sighed Have the stains on my eyelids gave you a reason to cry? And I don't believe I'm the one to take you out in the sun I've stored you deep in my spine, though our days are already done But if you ask me again I will throw down my body for you to mend Our tears were frozen, they've all been spent But as time tries to heal, the autumn will end
12.
I am all around but can't be found 'Til she lets me off the higher ground All the memories are safe and sound Have I waited far too long? In her stare, the way her hair blew by I forgot that I was free So I followed her into the sea I am every day you passed away She will let me go, lead me astray There's no sun the clouds moved in today What have I done wrong? In her stare, the way her hair blew by I forgot that I was free So I followed her into the sea So I followed her into me

Hard To Tell 04:06
I swear that's where you'll find me Under the stairs trying to break free Isn't it nice when you've found someone Waving hello, your days have just begun Your open arms will do me harm I'll travel far to find The thought of losing the you I'm choosing You treat me so unkind With your brown-eyed smile Alone in the night, I waited for you Feeling not quite right I knew it was true Isn't it nice, you've found someone else Is he what you want? You said "It's hard to tell" Your open arms will do me harm I'll travel far to find The thought of losing the you I'm choosing You treat me so unkind With your brown-eyed smile
