Closing song on E. Mez's 7th album, "Rename Your Monster."

lyrics

You are not the same as you used to be,
You look taller to me,
When the leaves fall down,
Where will you go?
And who else knows you're exposed?

How did it get so cold,
I'm halfway to nowhere,
Standing alone,
When the winter comes,
What will you do?
You're halfway to nowhere too.

What beasts cast such shadows with the moon?
Who will tell those stories all about you?
Mourning what I'll lose,
Scars over a wound not yet made new.

The sun is gone,
But the shoreline's black and yellow and blue,
"I'm not over you."
Half of me can see nothing has changed.
Half of me might still be something saved.

I've lost what stands to be gained,
Fear is truth in what remains: nothing,
Or nothing known to me,
I can only hope to be a distant memory,
For the time being,
It's better than nothing,
It's better than nothing,
It's better than...
