Variations 04:21
Days are moving slowly The minutes for me Pass like years I can't hear your smile It stretches for miles But I do not So I stopped cleaning my glasses Now I'm staring at ya Through the spots It's on repeat in my head and it goes Hey! You're watching all your best years slip away! You know the one thing that we can count on is That the night will always turn to day To day To day Today Cycles never ending Governing my State of mind Now my anger, uncertainty, and terror Have distilled into errors, They're all faults of mine It's on repeat in my head and it goes Hey! You're watching all your best years slip away! You know the one thing that we can count on is There will always be more time Than we care to admit's gone by Do we care to admit that we'll die? 'Cause there won't always be more time For us to learn to admit that we'll die When all of our time's gone by Variations on the Themes of my life Ringing in my ears The days are moving slowly The minutes for me They pass like years

Window Pane 03:58
You float by me In this shared dream Of waking ecstasy You shimmer You're plain to see But you're removed From my reality You're something sweet I trace your cheek With tips of fingers fleet Touch Not proof enough for me You're still removed From my reality A window pane A little fogged up frames A vision clear as day To open iris Climb out and flee And jump into That true reality In reality there's No anchor safe, Or harbor great, For sense is the one way Know that not a thing But what we see Are candidates For true reality No!

I'm gonna stretch my legs tonight And see where they wanna take me I'm gonna write some things I haven't had the heart to let out I don't know that I ever imagined Living so numb and complacent But calculated despair's hard to argue down Compared to What I wanted, what I got is A grain swept from the sand But in the morning, I'm kinda over Just waiting to sit on my hands So I'm gonna do what Evan said, And tell my friends that I love them I'm gonna make sure I get out of This house I don't know what I've been so afraid But it's making my heart stop and stutter And every step that I take's Another fear stared down Compared to What I wanted, what I got is A grain swept from the sand But in the morning, I'm kinda over Just waiting to sit on my hands In the morningtime In the morningtime I'm feeling it start all around me They're dealing the cards and my hand is coming up short And I see across the round table The same scared eyes looking right back at me So I'm stealing some chips from the dealer I'm bracing myself to hold my head up high And I see through the shade on the window The light of the morningtime It's the morningtime
