This Safety (demo)

This is not the purest form of sadness. This is contrived.
I want to feel again the depths of a beautiful sadness.
Give me some tragedy. No more wine or pills.
A beautiful sadness is brave, honest and strong.
Come hum along. Come out. Come out. For here I found all of myself. This safety, it surroundeth us. Come out. Come out. Come hum along.
I once sang a song in Georgia. “Tonight I Feel Alive.” But I have not felt alive in quite some time. If I never open my mouth I may feel safe, but I will ignore this boiling in my veins.
Come hum along. Come out. Come out. For here I found all of myself. This safety, it surroundeth us. Come out. Come out. Come hum along. Come out. Come out. Come hum along.

Two Windows (demo)

Look at all the people singing in their cars in the afternoon. I see them singing through two windows, driving through a tunnel of branches.
This is the song. This is the song. This is the song I sing. This is the song. This is the song. This is the song I sing.
I hold my breath as if I drive beneath the surface of the ocean. I wish it was the ocean floor where creatures no one ever sees, and only imaginative children consider, dwell.
This is the song. This is the song. This is the song I sing. This is the song. This is the song. This is the song I sing.

I am the one who failed. I am the one who failed.
I think I want to love again. I think I want to love you.
I held my breath in front of everyone.
I think I want to love again. I think I want to love you.
I need someone to talk to.

Rain falls from your eyes. The clouds. The clouds. Stirring within me. It stirs. It stirs.
When I hear it low I think of you, of old and new.
This picture burned into my head. My head is hot. Return, for away you went. Return, you went.
When I hear it low I think of you, of old and new.

I See It

Life is toil. Death, a gift. I desire my home.
Hope against hope until the end of faith.
The day I finally see your shining face.
