Tree Lullaby 02:17
Oh my love I have fallen from your tree In the ocean I’ll be free
2.
Tree Fire 04:39
I’m not awake I’m not awake in my bed Your inside my head I’ve been asleep the whole week My eyes are red I’ve been waiting for time to change All the things I can’t rearrange There’s you the way you remember me And you said I’m not through So I’ll wait for you You’re inside of my head by the way that you said Why’d you breathe without me I’m a fire you’re a tree I’m inside of your head by the way that I said Why’d you leave without me You’re a fire I’m a tree Don’t sway above me Lovely lovely By the way that I said you're a fire I’m a tree By the way that you said I’m a fire you’re a tree I’m a fire you’re a tree You’re a fire I’m a tree

Ghost Melody 02:49
Your memories are a ghost that you remember the most Feeling happy again can’t remember since when Without you Your melodies are a ghost that dance with birds on the coast Singing softly again can’t remember since when Without you
4.
In Waves 02:43
You are all I want today You are all I see Your love it comes in waves It comes in waves when you cross my eyes It comes in waves My moon is bright tonight It lights the pain that I feel again It comes in waves
5.
Even when you’re five years old you can wake up sad If you feel like that I know Even when you’re half asleep and your minds at peace Now you’re dreaming things But you grind your teeth at night Even if the morning light disagrees with you Now your eyes are closed But your body knows wake up Even if your hearts grown tired of confusing things With refusing to Lose fear of losing you let go If you’re alright I won’t bother to Feel you through and through The space between my ribs Beats for me and you Beats for only you If you’re alright I wont bother to Feel you through and through The space inside my head thinks of only you Thinks of only you
6.
Unwind 04:04
Morning comes in a bit too quick Open the door here comes the wind Back then I imagine The view from the window starts to spin If I could just unwind Let go of things heavy on my mind I’d find I don’t care about the thoughts moving in my head If it’s there unaware of the things you’ve said If I get mad collaborating with my bed It’s a long way down to get out of here It’s a long way down get out of here I’ve been waiting for you to come I’ve been waiting for you to come back and haunt me To get out of here I’ve been waiting
7.
Mindtrips 05:41
Mitchell’s waiting under the carpet He’s got a sweat stain in the space between his armpit His thoughts are fading under his eyelids It’s hesitation in his body playing mind tricks His mind trips The walls you build are wearing thin You wake up tired and just sleep in Mitchell’s pacing thinking his hardest Contemplation’s full of pain but it's harmless His thoughts are fading under his eyelids It’s hesitation in his body playing mind tricks His mind trips He’s harmless

Tree Dream 01:52
