You're half way round the world now, do you feel as empty as me Think backward just two days so that I can feel less incomplete Tracing patterns that you drew across the sky as you flew away from me I know it isn't easy to say a real goodbye You tell me see you later and we hope its not a lie Shift our weight to bear the silence that we'll share, pretend you're here until next time If all we have is just this moment, how can I communicate the impact that you've made how truly much it means to me and all the hours that we've spent I know for sure they'll make me ache I guess thanks for everything I guess thanks for everything I can't believe you're gone I hope its not for long I know it isn't easy to say a real goodbye You tell me see you later and we hope its not a lie Shift our weight to bear the silence that we'll share, pretend you're here until next time

Shadows 03:25
It is not easy to see You let go so easily Cause you’re still everything I think And you’re still everything I sing If you could see you like I do Maybe then you’d feel it too You're beautiful everyone knows I can't ignore you Cause I’m still loving the shadow Of who you used to be I know you’re gone I do not mean wrong but I wish you’d never loved me When you smile, you challenge the stars It's quite an unfair competition I want to be wherever you are I’m trying to keep from falling apart Cause I’m still loving the shadow Of who you used to be I know you’re gone and I do not mean wrong but I wish you’d never loved me I wish you’d never loved me I’m slipping away I’ll never be the same You cannot lose me But I have lost myself poisoned by obsession and dismay Unfortunately for me, the incredible happiness that your love brought to me is, in fact, commensurate with the emptiness and desolation that the absence of your love entails. © Wilson Rahn 2013

Hypothermia 03:40
The silence haunts me, so I plug in Something to distract me from within I’ve tried to be fine, it’s not working So I will have to just pretend Tear down these walls, so I can breathe I’m suffocating Fall down again, so I can bleed Remember what it means To be alone when it’s so cold There’s no one else I want to hold In my arms, in my heart your cold But I won’t let you go There’s something missing in these lines Something changed or you just lied It’s easier to stand outside, I start to numb but that’s alright Because my mind, it is on fire Whoaahh Tear down these walls, so I can breathe I’m suffocating Fall down again, so I can bleed Remember what it means To be alone when it’s so cold There’s no one else I want to hold In my arms, in my heart your cold But I won’t let you go © Wilson Rahn 2013

I know I’m not insane But a tired mind can leave you kind of frayed Miraculous How fast you got into my brain Walking blindly Silently crying out I wish there was a better way I only have myself to blame It’s hard to forgive those who do no not wish to change I recollect All the mistakes I hide in shame How can I not see? This darkness is not me so I will lay here in dismay I’ll count these hours as they come Rewind to watch it all undone I know we’re not the same So why am I refusing to convey The vacuous State that I can’t seem to escape Walking blindly, please come and find me I need to find a better way I don’t recognize my face I struggle just to speak my own name It feels so alien to say I wish that I did not feel so betrayed And the flood comes rushing in I wade through it to wash away the sin You won’t define me anymore I stand alone in pouring rain There’s no rewind for me, I scream YOU WON’T DEFINE ME ANYMORE... © Wilson Rahn 2014

Rampancy 03:02
I open my eyes but I don't really see All that surrounds me it's blinding I know that I can't sit here but I can not even stand I'm paralyzed Time has blurred to nothing, it's been a week since I have eaten But I'm not hungry I hate what I am thinking, but I think it anyway Will someone please deliver me from rampancy And I hate myself for hating you Cause you say that it's nothing to do with me And I hate myself for loving you Cause there's no one but me to blame I open my eyes but I can't really see All that surrounds me it's blinding I know that I can't sit here but I can not even stand I'm paralyzed Time has blurred to nothing, it's been a week since I have eaten But I'm not hungry I hate what I am thinking, but I think it anyway Will someone please deliver me from rampancy And I hate myself for hating you Cause you say that it's nothing to do with me And I hate myself for loving you Cause there's no one but me to blame (Open my eyes) And I hate myself for hating you (I can not see) Cause you say that it's nothing to do with me (I can not sit here) And I hate myself for loving you (But I'm paralyzed) Cause there's no one but me to blame © Wilson Rahn 2013

Lungs 04:35
Lately I wake up early I can't explain it Most days I'm not so empty But here today My mind is not so stable It seems I build too many towers With such poor foundations But what's the point of building carefully When the view is far better with the thrill of uncertainty When hellos not enough The words get caught in my lungs They're on the tip of my tongue But I can't bring myself to say All these words in my brain Can't seem to make them go away I just don't want things to change You mean the world to me Lately I fall asleep so slowly I can't explain So many thoughts that I cannot contain it I need to find anything To divide me from my mind And never do I think of leaving there's nowhere to run to anyway Sometimes I wish I could change your mind Cause false hope will kill me When hellos not enough The words get caught in my lungs They're on the tip of my tongue But I can't bring myself to say All these words in my brain Can't seem to make them go away I don't want things to change You mean the world to me There's nothing to see here What was left of me has dissapeared I can't help but think of you Hopelessly in search of what I did wrong When hellos not enough The words get caught in my lungs They're on the tip of my tongue But I can't bring myself to say All these things in my brain I can't stop things from changing You mean the world to me Now I crawl into my shell Because for me there's no one else And I hope you find yourself In the arms of someone else.
