about

Taken from the "Sing Me to Sleep" EP

lyrics

It's not like I want to
It's not like I need to try it on
This feeling of solitude
I brought it with me from home
And every night when I wonder out
To find this elusive song
Maybe it's hiding
Maybe I'll find it soon

I brought some compassion
I thought you could use some here
But now that I got here
I see that I forgot to pack fear
And every night
When I'm calling you on the phone
It's sounds like you're weathering
Weathering away

Why did you come here
To fade away?
Tonight the stars scream your name
And everywhere I turn to
You

A friend in a foreign land
Is in need of change

I try to believe in things
Then I toss them aside like broken rings
This chill that has gotten to my soul
It broke through the bones and the skin
And try as I might
I don't get it right
I don't even remember what my success is
Measuring
Measuring against

Why did I come here
To fade away?
Tonight the stars scream my name
And everywhere I turn to
You
