I hold the fort I'll ease the light and I'll shut that door behind you behind you oh I'm three steps and hours I retreat detached most every night I faced the war but we've found a new fight and as hard as I tried the rift it split it split us in two we're on different sides of life me and you the years lied to us too. but I hold the fort don't you know what that's like to bed down on the floor to grow tired all alone I might beg for more but I'd waste my night so I'll use that door 'cause after tonight it just feels right

Liquid 04:35
I remember the first snowfall well but most of all how your lips saved me from that hell I read too much into it and the pavement gleamed with lazy prophetic sunbeams so I surrendered our bread and cake is it better or worse and the whips are all in their rows the would-be interrogants and they're dying to trip and savoring liquid remorse see me now the theives have their powers to see me through endless, gasping hours so malevolent sunrise comes I'm still wondering if I have won all the tender jaw games so many secrets remain the battles are deeper than either would peek at
3.
Safe Room 04:16
you're shuddering next to me 'cause I take the time to see here in the shelter of my safe room counting your days just give it up and stay you could enlighten my heresy if I could make you sell out to me chasing the storm fronts 'till faint dawn where the muscle of our intentions.... and we breathe and the muscle of our intentions will hold us through this fleeting lust and serial high in my safe room

Willows 05:46
we walked with our summertime ways as we sifted through the gate could we admire the lives the lives laid out in rows home by five and lights out by nine you talked with a summertime sway just like a lioness admired by her prey I told you of my charming ways didn't want any doubts no doubts inside our space in the moonlight shade of the dead those same loose tiles every morning those same cold floors causing your longing those same loose tiles every morning those same cold floors I checked if it was late but times hands weren't raised
