Winterdress (free) 04:04
i used to breathe a little less i used to think a little less and my dreams would keep me awake at night the clouds are never leaving, and my bones are cold the rain is never ending, and my bones are cold
2.
Release 03:20
as the morning arose my vision blurred my life unfolded before me the universe showed its shape life and death were one mysteries no more for the crying whispers stopped that was seasons ago now death is near sitting next to me, stroking my long dull brown hair chilling each breath that escapes from my lungs and i am still here and i am still here
3.
An Apology 03:14
i know i hurt you i know you don't understand the calls of the winter you don't know at all
4.
Acid Eyes 03:22
bitter winds creep onto my skin where darkness is overbearing i am sitting standing kneeling i can't tell where i am i'm somewhere else i went to where the colors end and i always end up next to you at night throw acid in my eyes and maybe i can see turn my brain inside out so that i can be someone else (he came to me and i wept for the days when my tongue wasn’t tied and i could whisper the words he wanted to hear and the words didn’t kill me because i knew how to breathe and how to hold on and how to reach the moon with my hands. he came to me and memories flooded back of never-ending sun and walking didn’t hurt and my feet weren’t sore and i could stay standing because i was better then i was newer then and i didn’t know yet the creatures of the deep. he came to me and i let go of all that i had learned in those years and i became a child and his hands were still as soft as ever and he touched me he touched me because i was wounded and he had to rescue me. i went to him and the sky went dark and i threw myself into the air because i knew he would catch me)
5.
Footprints 03:39
the salty sea air stung our eyes and caused us to lie we lost it all we lost it all the sea can't rescue us anymore it's already too late you're already gone i want it back i want to return to that place, that state live again breathe again die again live again breathe again die again we lost it all we lost it all

Circles 03:55
i think a thought it comes and goes and reappears and the rest follow
