Let Me Out 04:19
I feel that the walls are down Still I don't belong around here And I feel that there's something wrong Fight through these thoughts that want to drown here I know other souls have gone Bite through my lips and turn from the mirror But I cling to anything that's mine To grow old's a crime Or so I hear Let me out Palms down and my heart rate up I'm told I smile too much and not enough Fault lines have split across my face I fight in vain to slow their cracking pace I know by tomorrow I'll forget why I tried to change But tonight the words just twist and race I'm paralyzed and a cliché Let me out Your thousand yard stare Stops me dead, and holds me there I stumble home You're always there To talk me down To give me air Hide the frame Let a picture age instead of me, please "Slow down," I tell my breathing Please Let me out

Winter Party 05:05
After the winter party After they had gone With glasses broken And nothing spoken We left it there We sat up on the rooftop and watched them fight And the ashes and the insults burned all night We didn't care Their discontent Their long descent They made it our affair And after next year's party We'll follow them both home To sort their lives out And watch their next bout It won't go anywhere We'll sit out on their back porch Ask for a light Shiver by each other Try to make it right It won't be fair Their discontent Their long descent They made it our affair Their discontent... We wait and watch, both hoping That things will change But you and I both know that They'll never change Each year they say and promise That things will change But you and I both know that They'll never change We wait and watch, both hoping That things will change But you and I both know that They'll never change But you and I both know that

I Live Alone 05:25
I lived alone in our home I lived alone in our home No one could see me And you wouldn't try I lived alone in our home With you beside me I still felt alone I thought alone in our home And I fought alone in our home No one could hear me And you wouldn't try I thought alone in our home With you beside me I still felt alone Now you're gone and I don't feel alone Echoes and chains Distant days since my point was gone Falling anchors come down Indifference and lulls Scissors dull and my point is won Done We're marking what's ours Distant hours since your point was lost Didn't matter the cost There's space now for air anywhere And my point is this Empty halls Faces blank It's all I had alone with you The only sound Was voices raised My words never made it through We don't speak Since those days But you know that's nothing new My face was down My voice would fade Now I'm alone forgetting you I lived alone in our home I lived alone in our home No one could find me And you wouldn't try I lived alone in our home Living alone, I'm no more alone than I was alone with you Now I live alone in my home
