We hold our breath in and try to keep it still
Have we forgotten how to stop?
Shut eyes informing us of what we do want and all that we could do without
We hold our breath in and try to keep it still
Letting synapses hold their spark
Shut eyes informing us of the pathways marked, subtly lit up in the dark
I held my breath in and tried to keep it still
Counting the fault lines on my heart
Tectonic warning
Patterns I finally caught taking my time in After Thought
Present me in present tense
I want to cradle myself in loneliness
My name will be my iron fence
I made my bed, I made my mess
And now I know to keep it closed
Stay away from my window
I think it's better like this
And now I know to keep it closed
Leave me alone
Stay away from my window
I think it's better like this

Hold up
You forgot your coat
It's there, on the hook behind the door
You know it's been getting cold and dark on your way home 'round four
But you don't seem to mind
Something else is on your mind
Losing track of time
Staring out with glassy eyes
Numb and looking tired sun and snow blinding
The circumstance combines
Trying to remind
Trying to keep kind
But you and I know what you're like when it's better
The blue jay flies
Wingtips clipped and tethered
And I'll bet we'll make our way without knowing why we're gone and where it is that we're going
What we kept, and have we even been growing?
What we left and what baggage we've been towing
And on that morning with the filtering light of the dew in our eyes
We'll walk into the yard and breathe in full for the first time
I know it's been harder on you
Let me be your martyr
I'll hold your head above water
Come home, I'll be your safe harbour
Lean on me and I'll be your partner
Give me a seed and I'll be your farmer
Climb inside me and I'll be your armour
'Cause I know it's been harder
Oh no
We're on the same boat
I want to be the one to help you but I'm feeling old
I'm tired of finding ways to be hopeful
I'm trying to stay warm but now it's so cold
We walk on the bright side of the street with a cloud of paralysis following
We just want your permission
We just want to start living
