ice around me closes forever in time i am frozen don't leave without me I don't know how to live without you I'm frozen cold wind whips my hair across my face one day I'll work up the courage to leave this place how long can you last the time is slipping by too fast
2.
On & On & On 02:08
who killed the bug up on your windshield who left the butcher without his fill but you know he's got the time to kill sitting all alone atop his hill must get cold on your own endless blizzard inside your soul keep moving on, the winter is long if staying put feels wrong keep singing this song on & on & on on & on & on on & on & on on & on & on

Choke 03:12
I feel it rushing over me I can see it in my dreams when the pressure's building up feels like I'm gonna choke again but I don't have to win this time not all of the praise has to be mine we can raise our cups alone but drinking's better with a friend oh I choke on the bittersweet taste of the golden cup oh I choke place your gentle hands around my willing throat CHOKE dribbling so fast with my feet in the grass feeling so free till I look up and CHOKE where are those feet when I need them I feel like two lefts nothings right when I talk to you I CHOKE on every word you said to me in the night like the smoke in my lungs as I blow it in your face I hope you CHOKE not on the rope or on the blood from your wrist but on your life compared to mine I want you I want you I want you to CHOKE I'm over you and now I'm out in the world so why do I still think love's supposed to hurt I CHOKE I do what I'm supposed to do but it never seems to fill the hole I CHOKE back the tears and patch up my soul now I know what love is and I'm finally whole I CHOKE I pull your hands harder against my throat tighter baby make me choke oh I choke on the bittersweet taste of the golden cup oh I choke place your gentle hands around my willing throat

I Belong 04:58
on my own i walk along i feel i belong since i was younger i feel like i'm fallin behind feel like i fall out of line i need to push that rewind press up and feel me unwind leavin the past it's not mine mine, mine no lookin ahead it's alright feelin my best i'm just fine erase all the rest don't waste my time, no lookin ahead at my life trust me or just roll the dice sure thing sure would be so nice nice, nice no on my own i walk along i feel i belong since i was younger i put up a decent fight losin is not my style catch me with your sweet smile losin my way but i beg you to stay you know my real story don't need that quick glory i'm lookin for you every night til i'm blue need you until all my days are thru losin my mind too can't live without you i can't live without you losin my mind too can't live without you

Chickadee 02:58
Chic-Chic-Chickadee I see you fly and now I feel so free
6.
soulful v1 you tell me that you want to die i said not yet but you said you need to try i was there through the fight crossing county lines in the middle of the night so why you gotta latch onto that one time? he was gonna set you free but he didn’t have a knife I thought you wanted this the whole time but it ain’t so funny playing with a life [chorus] i don’t wanna die, but when i do i’ll go in peace you say you wanna die, so why you gotta get down on your knees and beg to keep this life can’’t be that bad if you wear it on your sleeve look beyond yourself and you’ll see just what I mean V2 pluck me before i’m ripe and you waste the precious speed i didn’t put in all this work to lay back and watch you feed you know we’re all just out here tryna eat but quit droolin over me and get up on your feet you gotta put in the work and get out of your head embrace the feeling of being alive before you’re dead alive before you’re dead, you’re alive [chorus 2] i don’t wanna die, but when i do i’ll go in peace you say you wanna die, but i don’t think that’s what you really mean i don’t wanna die, but when i do i’ll go in peace you say you wanna die, but i don’t think that’s what you really mean

Hourglass 02:08
ive been seeking for a long time and when i found my way im amazed to see it was right here the whole time time is slipping through my hands and every plan i make around me turns to dust and sand thats falling down the down the hourglass i fall tell me when i hit the bottom will it all be worth my while while ive got this chance to say everything i see around me and all my friends we’re better off this way way above me when i look up i smile and melt in your em brace i feel safe if we only have this moment it’s okay we only have this moment its ok
11.
Adversity 02:21
get up and feel low and i take it to the real world my heart has no glow but i know just how to unfurl a passion wakes your heart and youll know it in the moment daydreamin is a start and then put your plans in motion its getting pretty hard to pretend im still so negative i feel it in my heart i feel love in my heart adversity no you cant mess with me oh get together lets dance slow let it out and let it flow my headspace you cant contemplate just appreciate that easy give and take i stay awake to walk along the lake take me to a place only we can make adversity no you cant mess with me oh get together lets dance slow let it out and let it flow

Memories of a metallic key loop I recorded on the xylophone outside the library while I was homeless, of trudging through the snow following a winding trail of blood that doesn’t seem to ever thin, of a piano performance by our friend TaekSung Kim, of flowers blooming from an open wound, of waking up to chic-chic-chick-a-dee outside my window, of bittersweet ironies and the edge of the knife, of rebirth and ancestral spirits, of those fleeting sweet moments of bliss
