Happy gray buildings remind us of us We sit, or we lay, and we all really must Come withered children I instruct you trust me, “Find the shape of your life and trace it out, justly.” Is the knock on the door only for me Am I the only one here aware of the fee When you're far up in feeling the rooftop’s air You must know what to push down to keep you up there Allowed, are the many, I strain to believe Default to the spectrum of loving with ease Know that I don't say I'm sad to be humble It's a race that I lost or still run but don't run well Across town, the statues of structure collapse Among minds the passion of patterns relapse Autumn breeze means something, not any more Cold winds of pure chaos take straight lines to our door Only alone in my home do I dare Not when I'm out there riding that scare But it's bricks of a chimney we collectively built It can't be just me who’s too warm from that guilt It's a stilt on a crutch on a leather bound chair You're calling it healthy to be scared to be bare What in life’s name are we calling this tower The knocks on the doors’ all too loud to be cowards

Across Town
Happy gray buildings remind us of us We sit, or we lay, and we all really must Come withered children I instruct you trust me, “Find the shape of your life and trace it out, justly.” Is the knock on the door only for me Am I the only one here aware of the fee When you're far up in feeling the rooftop’s air You must know what to push down to keep you up there Allowed, are the many, I strain to believe Default to the spectrum of loving with ease Know that I don't say I'm sad to be humble It's a race that I lost or still run but don't run well Across town, the statues of structure collapse Among minds the passion of patterns relapse Autumn breeze means something, not any more Cold winds of pure chaos take straight lines to our door Only alone in my home do I dare Not when I'm out there riding that scare But it's bricks of a chimney we collectively built It can't be just me who’s too warm from that guilt It's a stilt on a crutch on a leather bound chair You're calling it healthy to be scared to be bare What in life’s name are we calling this tower The knocks on the doors’ all too loud to be cowards
