Walls 03:27
Why can't I hear you? Behind these walls I am so afraid. There’s so much to you that I want to say. Why can’t I see you? I live behind iron walls. Barriers just built to fall.
2.
A dumpster full of glass dulled with furnace heat: I climbed in and dug. Light refracted everywhere. There's a reflection…. What's dripping from the glass? It's running down my arms. What I’m trying to say-- I never felt so much beauty while still feeling so alone. I’m not good enough for you.
3.
Never 02:34
I thought that this time it would be different, but I don’t see light. No, I don’t see light. I don’t see light. Will you never say never again? All I see is you.
4.
How do I keep-- I keep coming back to this dream? My eyes sting. I can’t stop thinking about how the mist clung to the cracked mountains like static. There were echoes in the moisture. I was the dead tree still standing, and you… you were the air. We cross the bridge into the mountains, through the valley and ridge, to Chestnut Hill. There's a swing that hangs from a branch of a tree; I just close my eyes and I swing.
5.
Fading 01:56
Where have you been? I’ve been waiting for the end to begin. Your mother says to stop, and then you take another one. Your father says to stop, and yet you take another one. I’ve been waiting for the end to begin. It’s going to kill you. This is your end.
6.
7.
I can already see how this is going to end. ‘Cause I can see it-- It won’t be pretty. I’m aching with loss.
8.
Body 03:12
Do you think the body stays cold? Cold wind tore across the mountainside as dry leaves scraped on by, but we were warm with possibility. I can't feel my fingers. I can't feel my toes. Do you think the body stays cold? If then I’d have died, it would have been alright.
9.
Lost Our Way 01:17
We were so young, holding onto our pain. How do I let go? And if love came easy without a life of aching, we would have lost our way.
10.
Without You 06:37
You need darkness to grow. And we keep talking about how this is the end. This is the last time. The last time; the last time. I can't do it anymore. This is the last time. In that stairwell I felt the earth shifting slowly without you. For a moment time stood still. I keep living without you.
