Lonely Faces 03:46

The Break Up 03:32
sit in silence at the table look into eyes of rivers this between us lost in years this must end but we beg forgiveness do we still talk familiar broken glass or flaws that never healed hands of love wipe them all over it all

Home Song 04:28
say my son come back to your home silence pushes you say my love is this a house of one broken mess saved from this hell outside it’s outside saved from this body caught in skin and bones rags and rope lost all hope please come home please come home please home please come home now

Years 04:03
warm at night in my bed a fear of life a fear of death years go by years go on safer still in my bed with my dreams of love dreams of death years go by years go on

Anxiety 03:04
I may die from anxiety I can feel it killing me gnawing inside painfully will death come to me gracefully do you know of anxiety disease of the world with all bodies in tension will death come to us gracefully will death come to us gracefully
8.
dear friend used to be a nice friend those days have ended oh the sadness in our eyes dear friend all trouble til the end smile gone hollow and disappear and then stay for the sorrow caught in time left in love and shamed stay until tomorrow until you go and you’re distant and fading
9.
To Be Done 02:25
done with love done breathing done laughing done done walking done kindness done kissing done done endings done falling done doing done
10.
I I will be replaced I will be replaced I I will leave this place leave an empty space I I will see him erased turn to another face I have been replaced I move at a slower pace move at a slower pace I I I have been replaced I

about

A heart broke open.
A queer melodrama.
An album was written.
A house was not a home.
But then a landscape appeared.
And in the midst of melancholy there was another love.
He might be replaced with another him but the heart remains true.
