10 Years (demo) 05:16
lyrics
I only vaguely remember all the time that came before The earth opened up between us and the years keep rolling on I don't know what I would say Because I'm always out of place I'm not here and I'm not real And I've never understood And now and then I still wonder where you went And what was going through your head cause it seemed like there was nothing left Of the blood that's on your hands This is quite a mess we've made It seems there's no end to the mistakes we can make We're both part of a game And the only way out is not to play If I was better If I was wise All the answers would be televised And if only choices made our lives Then I might have taken another line And you might still be around

In the dark (demo) 03:08
lyrics
How'd we get back here again? Praying for a soft landing I was small and i was torn Still went through the door But couldn't help you more We're all losing time On the stairs in the dark Missing just a spark and a spinal chord I was praying for you then Trying so hard to pretend Fell asleep at the wheel At the wheel We were never quite as brave As the stories that we made In the shadow of something great I know you were capable of so much more And it kills me to see you fall You are your own worst enemy And I don't know why you don't see That your indulgence isn't free
3.
Stranger (demo) 03:25
lyrics
What I thought I'd be The smallest piece of a fever dream And the tangled place with the weary gates For the chance to live What I wouldn't give To be whole To be whole Why? If I could only see through I don't know what I say Or why I do what I do Cause all the roads have been bent And the sky has been rent Stuck with clouds in my head Only they were meant To be whole To be whole And the furthest stranger Lives in my head And the way she wavers Makes me bend

Lullaby (demo) 04:15
lyrics
It's always there That old friend despair More roads lead nowhere Than are laid bare Your tears won't dry Until you've seen the light The weight of empty Wraps around me But I'll see clearly And spill out of me Your fears all lie Just let the day go by So please don't cry One day you'll see the light
5.
Ordinary (demo) 04:04
lyrics
I've seen you stumble to your feet Each broken smile reminds me where the needles lie Can't chase the ghosts out of your dreams And when they stand beside you it always feels like too soon You built your armor out of shards It aches to wear but hides your scars What does it take to be ordinary? How many lives until the past the buried? Their eyes were wild and awestruck Drank till they emptied your cup And covered you with their gloom Suffered a thousand small cuts One day your scars will wake up Ten thousand voices will bloom I know you want to be better for me But a heart full of empty promises has never brought me sleep I know it feels like the world is ending But a life of empty solace will just keep you off your feet What does it take to be ordinary? How many lives until the past is buried?
