Choreography 03:50
Shipwrecked here These waves have thrown me overboard Restless, waiting for the voice Im longing for beneath these waters Im still hearing its dull roar not like before, but it will have to do Functioning inoperablely lately I'm maneuvering disoriented— Frankly, my hopes been dimly lit too long but maybe Im not as crazy as Ive been telling you Follow choreography to the steps of vulnerability 1-2-3-4-5-6 Though subdued now and no longer looming, Though hes broken down my branches Im still rooting And Ill contend to bud here into blooming Resuming From where I first grew Follow choreography To the steps of vulnerability 1-2-3-4-5-6

Again 04:42
Again Like an ostrich hiding in a sand bed I bury my head under Eyes open wide, wake me up inside so that I'm no longer afraid to live Sometimes my words don't come out right and I'm speaking way too soon, trying to make it right While I'm learning kinda late that I guess I make mistakes if you're willing, take and make me beautiful again. Scrub my heart clean to be your hands and feet I see I'm incomplete standing Heart hollow, now let it overgrow let it overflow, landing on those near me

Guard Down 03:52
I flipped the switch of what lit up my eyes powered down, anesthetized my heart in hopes it might survive You gave a gift much to my surprise I left their house and went to bed that night more vulnerable than I'd like I'm found guard down only here life floods my veins again I'm found guard down only here and it unnerves me to no end I hate you somebody tell me why I guess it needs to surface but in the meantime, I hope that you don't mind... I said I hate you now somebody tell me why I guess it needs to surface but in the meantime, I really hope that you don't mind

Ways We Cope 04:06
For sometime I've checked emotion keeping it in line keeping it frozen over and confined guarded from motion in my sanctioned mind my sanctioned mind Oh, the ways we cope! (convinced we go unseen) Oh, the ways we cope! (unaware of our disease) I've thrown a heap over the well that's dug inside of me I've tried to fill it up I've tried to keep it from dwelling in me quite that deep it's far too deep Oh, the ways we cope! (convinced we go unseen) Oh, the ways we cope! (unaware of our disease) But i can feel it coming a distant, rising wave that will soon reach me Oh my, oh my won't it be something when we lock eyes when I face and finally know the one before me?

Tried to find the silver-lining Redefining, Realigning Where to go from here (I wish I knew) tap, tap, tap I think my watch stopped Tossing, turning, try to sleep, but... Dat dat dat dat dat This arbitrary February weather’s wearing me thin But things once hoped for Springtime restores Just before I give in And it has to come eventually It comes eventually Winter, she’s a fickle mistress her white-knuckled grip is vicious A stubborn mule that won’t give way tap, tap, tap my heel, impatient tick-tock, watch the dial, complacent and spinning round and round, another day
