Space Forest 04:36
Wake up, I'm staring out the window Thinking, just where does all the time go? Collapse, I slip into the comedown Can't grasp the busybody know-how The weight is heavier than you think My heart can't bear to carry these things Cave in, despite the sturdy framework Clock in, only to make my brain hurt Check out, can't do the things I want to Self doubt, can't be the me I used to be The weight is heavier than you think My heart can't bear to carry these things Watch all my friends reach out as I sink Don't wanna drag them down here with me Don’t wanna drag them down Don’t wanna drag them down Don’t wanna drag you down It's heavier than you think

I'm feeling lost I have a map but it's been set on fire And I can't let go of it Fingers singed But still, directionless, I plod ahead As the compass spins around And spins, and spins around... Still seeking out hope along the way But heavy thoughts can weigh your head down Passing by The intersection of the life I've lived And what could have been Looking back, Can't help but dwell on everything I said And the naive fool I was Still seeking out hope along the way But heavy thoughts can weigh your head down And maybe we can find home again someday And this time it won't burn to the ground This color sky is a chilling warning The deepest red, a memento mori This color sky is a chilling warning The deepest red, a memento mori

Rift 03:52
On grey nights, I conjure the memories that wander through my head The picture's imperfect, but I know I deserved it in the end What was solemn's now shaken, and I broke what I thought would never bend Now I'm nervous and tired and sure that we will never make amends Dream dream dream, it's the only way to talk to you Scream scream scream, never fought the way we used to We're both stuck in our heads in separate rooms And like the clouds outside the future looms You said patience is painless, but I have never felt a deeper wound Of course I'm not blameless, but I thought I would cope better than you It's harder to frame this underneath the light of the moon My anger was aimless, and I should have known better, I'm a fool Staining your memory, fraying at the ends Burning so carelessly, pages never read Staining your memory, fraying at the ends Burning so carelessly, pages never read Dream dream dream, now I never seem to talk to you Scream scream scream, it's a thought I'm getting used to We're still stuck in our heads in separate rooms But better than before, the future blooms
