Windowpane 03:56
The cold seeped underneath the windowpane Just as my heart was growing warm And when you call it, with your poor speech trembling It never answers anymore The breeze blew underneath the windowpane The insulation couldn’t hold And when you felt it with your frosty fingertips It wasn’t ready to unfold And you never knew how the world grew dark And powder filled my lungs and all that was left The only reminder was the sober cold of winter falling down The frost will dance behind your windowpane Its calling war on every soul The white is blackening the entry to a world I’ll never know

Half Way 03:41
Time has been slowing As I sit here and think of the lies I’ve been knowing And I’m stuck on the brink From the quizzical smiles and the nonchalant giggle then frown And my mind keeps whirling round Mmm In the absence of all that I want me to be Will the vision of you block out all clarity As time’s slowing down But my head’s reeling round And I’m only half-way where I want to be Seeds I’ve been sowing In the world that I’ve built in the times I am knowing With the pain and the guilt And I open my eyes to your nonchalant giggle then frown And your arms abound Without a sound In the absence of all that I want me to be Will the vision of you block out all clarity As time’s slowing down But my head’s reeling round And I’m only half-way where I want to be Take me, but let me be me Take me, but let me be me In the absence of all that I want me to be Will the vision of you block out all clarity As time’s slowing down But my head’s reeling round And I’m only half-way where I want to be Patience is growing As I look out ahead just to find where I’m going Down the path I have led With a pat on the back and a last kiss or two in the end There are things we shouldn’t review In the end, I might have had you…

Daylight has faded away Until another day, until another day Reflections in jumbles in my head I lie awake in bed It seems that in a glance a day has ended Now time will only tell what time has mended The calm of the night leaves me alone To ask myself the questions that I never answered through the day Stuck with what’s left here for today Until tomorrow’s day It seems that in a glance a day has ended Now time will only tell what time has mended And I want to believe tomorrow will be a better day I’ll wake up to sunlight and be satisfied come what may Come what may Until Tomorrow’s Day.

about

The pains and joys of winter culminate in this three song EP as the wind blows off the lake and the time passes slowly. The snow grows thicker and there is a profound sense of clarity in the bitter cold. As I stare out at the rocks, I am both hopeful and afraid of what tomorrow holds.
