These Things 05:06
In the burning house that is your hand I thought myself to understand The way to move and how to be a man The dark rooms are never dark enough I'm desperate still can't fill me up When nothing seems to wake me up And I'm still trying to bleed you out I'm still dying to put you out They say these things take time But God don't ask for my time In the morning i'll wake long enough to see The sun's not up and you're waiting there for me I'm still too afraid to disagree Do you think i'd be so careful If it was in the air, no Am I ever gunna really settle? I want to be a part, fall short and tear apart It's nearing time to start, understand and tear apart
2.
I'm writing it down I don't wanna forget walkin' around Is there anything we'll regret? I'm not tearing down I'm just talking out I'm coming around & I'm walking it out What do I need to be remembering What do I need when i'm trembling What do I need, it's all festering What do I need, so affirming "Keep your heart in your chest" I don't want to listen I'm not gunna rest This is living I don't wanna forget to listen I don't wanna forget what's written
3.
My heart can't hear another might, My arms now heavy all the time I'm shaking at the thought of the sight No affirmation, not this time If I'm honest to myself, I'm troubled at the thought But times like these there's nothing else We're left with what we've brought We were spelling out three letter words, Making straight lines Spoken slowly, treasuring time Tainted visions easily, senseless entirety It's still weighing down on me, I'll trust eventually We're left with what we've brought Here is a test of growth, now that I know I never would have thought, We're left with what we've brought

Care 03:32
Restore me, restore me again I wasn't ready Indulgent kin, already Before it festers up inside Before it'd settle and die How am I ever going to tell if I give all of myself Who am I supposed to tell if I've rung it all out I'm sorry if you were scared or caught by surprise It's nothing that I could see I care if you're looking back at me Before it festers up inside Before it'd settle and die Buried me, debauchery These things rushed it seems, Slowly I'll drop to my knees

You have so much control over me and you don't even know it
