Clutter in the Attic
Lately I just can’t seem to clear / The clutter from my attic / Can’t help but climb those well-worn steps

No one's putting me on the spot / Except the one I'm standing in now / I can see from the edge of reality

What you have done to me / I can't begin to comprehend / I try my best to contain myself

Shook off the cold monotone and dreamed of something more / Recalled bright memories standing firm on fragile pages torn. / In my mind I hear songs that take me back to that place

Take Me At Face Value
You won't be comfortable with what I'm about to say / How you won't acknowledge what you really need / It's not the fear of failure that keeps you away

Takes Nothing Away
Watched you turn and walk away like that / We just stood there, not knowing how to react / Tried to speak but the words wouldn't come
