Sister Snow 02:38
Sister Snow Sister's hair hangs low, not low enough to pull you up When she's a martyr of a mind, you're a culprit in its eye And hardly skipping through the days, you play the part of nods and yeahs Each word a curse, can't shake the room, can give her hope but she won't recieve you Sophia, she don't believe you, don't believe you when you're trying just to explain That you don't believe that a falling leaf dictates that it will snow, But she's been so cold so I guess she'd know. Hear the prayers from in the hall, hands are tired and your knees are raw And the tragic part about the tomb, she's only right when she's left without you

Stones 02:59
Stones See her I've been dreaming of her but soon she'll make me rise Nightmares pass but this one seems to last, she's a curse but one I swear by She could be the death of me, I knew it even from the start God forbid she's proves to be, least I'm leaving with an angel's heart Stones, boulders holding me down But I'm not struggling No I'm not struggling out When you come you lift them A crown of thorns, a silence in the storms, she's out of reach or so it seems Warms my soul, the chill inside my bones, she's moving through my bloodstream She could be the death of me, I knew it even from the start But God forbid, her demons win, least I'm leaving with an angel's heart
3.
Cops And Robbers Pick up the pennies from the boot Then take the mice from the room And wave the dog who hurts its paw And won't be back too soon Then daddy takes up your bed And pets your fragile head Now he's taking her and you were there before And they're ringing someone home If all the cops and robbers were replaced by the ones you adore Then all your grief you would bequeath but in the grief you grew Don't be vengeful, don't be rash Black and white ain't your mast Though I love the way you see some things You don't suit reckoning Who do you think makes these rules?
4.
This is so familiar, don't know how it starts I'm at a Translink station unsure of whether to board. I hear the conversations and each asking why I'm taking the X1 to this Island's eastern side. It's like I know, I've tried to mean this but I don't Chase Me Home, chase me home like a dog you never wanted to know And break my bones and throw them home, like a dog you never wanted I'm outside your window, the photographs of you. I thought that such obsessions would stop at 22. My common sense is sleeping or it ain't talking back, it seems so sick of questions and you, you never ask. I've sacked perspective, I swapped it for the colour, I've only darkened. For the quiet alone, I'd cut my tongue.
