Trick or Treat,
A million eyes you'll never meet,
I never knew you,
Nice to know you now,
The mask you're wearing sold you out,
Who are you now?

Release Me
03:33

It's strange how things can fall apart,
Live your days like a king,
Then the walls cave in.
The levee broke and left us dead,
The cost of silence in my head,
Pennies for sense,
And minutes for change,
Nothing lost and nothing gained,
Please, release me...
Reimagine all I know,
All that I have cared for,
A mind that's clearly scared,
Or simply flailing on a falling star,
Or wailing from a forming scar,
Please, release me...
Tattooed to peeling skin,
Snakes and apples,
Original sin,
Open sea,
Afraid to go to sleep,
Go to sleep,
Go to sleep..
Release me...

Reaching new heights,
The ground now seems so low,
Itchy fingers,
Crossed and soaked down to the bone,
Like branches on a tree,
You can never quite reach me,
Where have the flowers gone?
Where have the flowers gone?
Where have the flowers gone?
Where have the flowers gone?
Don't climb that tree, boy.
Don't climb that tree,
You're already free...
[Stop that belief that those monsters will get you,
That they hunt you for sport,
In short: they don't,
They won't get you,
They won't,
You're not the victim or the target,
These monsters aren't even at large yet,
They're only in your mind,
Don't climb.]

Who broke free?
Was it you or me?
Oh, what to do?
I see them coming over the tree line!
Do you too?

With but a saw in hand,
He climbed the biggest tree in all the land,
Sawed each branch off as he passed them,
Cursing that the world harrassed him,
After reaching the top with no way down,
He looked at the mountain of branches around,
20 feet tall and 50 feet wide,
He lit the tree on fire and cried, "lie to me again."
"I lied to me again."

Start with your monster, Black,
Morning takes away what the night brought back,
But it's hiding in shadows too,
Don't let it find you!
Rename your monster, Red,
Demons inside your head,
They're hiding in closets too,
Don't let them find you!
Rename your monster, Blue,
Ocean behind and in front of you,
No paddle, what do you do?
What if they can't find you?
Rename your monster, White,
The canvas is blank and bright,
With freedom, what do you do?
You can find you too!

Hello,
Goodbye,
I'm cutting all my unnecessary ties,
Like me and my mind,
We don't need all these unnecessary knives...
Please understand that you're fine,
You have to move to get through these times,
Everything gets left behind,
How you choose to live determines what's inside...
You're right,
I'm fine,
And all other unnecessary lies,
There's room in the sky,
So long as we keep climbing towards the light.
Bleeding,
Seeing truth as I need it,
And peeling off my youth in stages,
Hoping that there's more to go,
And wondering what's behind that door,
And knowing that I won't be around to see who got it right...
Hello,
Goodbye,
I wish I had a necessary life...

Better Than Nothing

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...
