1.	Belonging (live with band) 04:19	lyrics	buy track
A red leaf between my fingers Footsteps too close to linger A pale hair has seen too much Follows the leaf to find its touch There’s no place that I can call home There’s no place where I belong anymore My roots are the wind in my hair When I was young they wandered there I’m longing to be safe somewhere But be still, behold, beware I miss places in my dreams Misplace them till they find me There’s no place I’d rather be There’s no place I’d rather be Than here Be here with me Be here with me
2.	Ghosts (live with band) 03:42	lyrics	buy track
The hours are forming thick knots of knowing Yet we sit here timelessly In the landscapes of our broken-down walls We are determined to live I’m flipping the coin in my chest Making a wish what to feel It seems that one side scares away the rest So I keep it moving to keep you near You’re a ghost in me You’re a ghost in me My thoughts of you rattle in the frame They’re fantasmas burning night and day You have been woven into my being, the loops are infinite Yet dissolving in circles and you are fading and getting out of reach You’re a ghost in me You’re a ghost, please leave Seek out to find Another heart to bind The hours are forming thick knots of knowing Yet we sit here timelessly
3.	Chasing Birds (live with band) 03:46	lyrics	buy track
I open the gate and step outside the keys that open are the ones that close behind I'm walking along the streets Afraid to see you walking next to me Burned-out faces turn away, turn away I'm lowering my gaze, lowering my gaze Burned-out faces turn away, turn away I'm lowering my gaze, lowering my gaze I'm chasing birds, chasing their shadows who are they talking to into the empty air their voices are a thousand lights blinding the traces of you in my mind Burned-out faces turn away, turn away Burned-out faces turn away, turn away I'm lowering my gaze, lowering my gaze Burned-out faces turn away, turn away I'm lowering my gaze, lowering my gaze Burned-out faces Burned-out faces Burned-out faces turn away, turn away I'm lowering my gaze, lowering my gaze Burned-out faces turn away, turn away I'm lowering my gaze, lowering my gaze
4.	Forgot (live with band) 05:12	lyrics	buy track
Glass hands, see-through heart, tender faces shivering I am trapped in my own whims, I hope I didn’t clip my wings How long can you hold, how long, how long Flocks of birds drum their wings, they shift the shape of fear They call for me, I hope I didn’t clip my wings How long can you hold, how long, how long Let’s break the glass, let’s drum our wings, let’s feel everything Let’s break the glass, let’s drum our wings, let’s feel everything Let’s break the glass, let’s drum our wings, let’s feel everything
