Redwoods 03:21
cut down like a redwood in the california heat displaying all of her scars little notes for me to read it’s quite a story that you might not believe i wish we made it all up now we find out what we need the life you loved will go make room for the unknown she took a hundred lovers birds came crashing down from trees set them all on fire put all that love to sleep she knew it wouldn’t work, she knew it would all hurt me now we’re the ones in trouble nobody’s hands are clean the life you loved will go make room for the unknown if we cut down these trees is it still fair to dream?

Runners 03:50
feeling like i’m dead inside and no one else knows why i hold our secrets so close to the heart they’re dagger sharp and cut us apart why do i seem to mind your past and all that you’ve come by someones broke somethings in my life will they keep me anchored until i die? whatcha gonna do? when they come for you? try to get real high, get there every night whatcha gonna do? when they come for you? whatcha gonna do? when they come for you? try to get real high, get there every night whatcha gonna do? when they come for you? are we done? i’m so tired and you don’t recognize your life i remember when you read to me you realized all my dreams

Broken Man 02:36
he's a broken man cut by all this anger in his hands carries all this hate until his legs buckle under the weight hurts the ones he holds most dear thinks they’d rather see him disappear in a fantasy one where he forever sleeps and the world still turns just as it did when he hurt but he sees her happy living the life she used to lead and that is all that matters now for her to feel alive and bright somehow not a fantasy a daydream that he can make real he’s still a broken man standing tall he reaches down claws the earth to beg the sun to set down on this hallowed ground stayed with the ones he holds most dear and fought through his darkest fears another fantasy which one does the broken man make real?
4.
i know that i have won if i think that it's a game but all do is question my decisions the balance is still tipped and my heart it still feels ripped my selfish mind is stuck in repetitions, repetitions i spin all my tires out 'til they're flat next to the ground sitting there just staring at the ceiling hands clutched to the wheel and poised with everything i feel to sit and watch the loop on its playback, forever playback you love me my dear i still hang on tight to my fears if i look afraid it's just no one has ever stayed so what do we do now that i have told you i am down your selfless heart will also have its limits for what you are to take for what you are to make of someone who is trapped inside their winter, forever winter you love me my dear i still hang on tight to my fears if i look afraid it's just no one has ever stayed i love you my dear and i will for all these years i am still afraid and my heart hopes you will stay, you will stay
