Songs
Things change so slow
So sure you're free
Finally see
The walls will build themselves
Outside ice-cold
And stare with eyes closed
Little spades
The walls will build themselves
Brick by brick by brick by brick
Open your eyes
Look up at the ceiling
An empty head
Are you sure you're still not dreaming?
No, You're awake now You're alive
Drag yourself out of the bed
Sit on the side
Only knowing the half of you
The half of you
Two steps forward then another back
Always almost getting there
Is there something in the water?
Take it a day at a time
Question if it's even mine at all
Or is there even any fault involved?
Maybe this is just the real you
And a half might have to do
Walk down the hall
Touch the walls to ground you
Can you truly see
Anything around you?
Out of focus out of touch
Maybe you just move that
head of yours too much?
Only knowing the half of you
The half of you
Two steps forward then another back
Always almost getting there
Is there something in the water?
Take it a day at a time
Question if it's even mine at all
Or is there even any fault involved?
Maybe this is just the real you
And a half might have to do
Cradle the camera
Give us our dolly zoom
Red lights blinking
So share it to the room
Someone is watching
Now somebody sees
A person that moves
But doesn't breathe
And how they love them
How they do
A person so perfectly flawed
Staring in awe at the light
Into that light a look at a better life
With a friend who'll never know their name
Eyes glued
Watch how they're watching you watch them
"Oh that's so true!"
Bringing your notch up a notch then
Good bits and bad parts
Pulling at our hearts
Decision paralysis
Maybe we've all had
A little too much of this
OH
And how they love you
How they do
A person so perfectly flawed
Staring in awe at the light
Into that light a look at another's life
A thing who'll always share your name
Share your name
Share your name
Share your name
Put him inside of a box
No need for the screws or locks
As he's scared to bits
Of how well it fits
Oh no
Oh no
Who would've known
Look at him run away
Pick a direction, he'll go all day
With his head in his hands
He's a strange little man
Oh no
Oh no
Who would've known
Somethings of with the face
It seems the mouth hasn't found its place
Trying to lower the price
Soon he'll learn, you just flinch twice
Who would've known
"They haven't really changed me"
He says as he stands, drenched in the journey
"I'm doing fine", his choices are mine oh
"I'm doing good", as well as they could oh
He's doing great, it's never too late
Who would've known
Look at the garden
Isn't it lovely?
Look at the flowers how they grow
Stare at the soil
The rocks and the dirt
The little snail oh so slow
Look how he runs
Look how she moves
Look at them go
Oh it's a lot to take
Oh it's a lot to bear
It's not fair
It's not fair!
It never was!
All the while the garden grows
Been out there for days now
The colours have changed
The lonely tree has lost its fray
Watch how it all just
Retreats to the earth
Little pieces
Some each day
Hoping for more
Praying for less
Look at them go!
Oh it's a lot to take
Oh it's a lot to bear
It's not fair
It's not fair!
It never was!
All the while the garden grows
It's all gone quiet
The sky is clear
The plants are resting
The stars are here
Tomorrow is another day
Another place another way
All the while the garden grows
Hold me
In this dream that's never ending
Hold me
Nobody is watching
Don't let go
I could love you
Hold you
I'll be your protection
Hold you
Won't look away for a second
Don't let me go
I could love you
But if I'm dreaming
Will I wake up to a nightmare instead?
Can this all be real?
But you held me
If only for a moment
And I held you
A memory sweet but silent
So I won't let go
I will love you
