Oh the window at the highest height Takes you by surprise Takes you by surprise Oh the window you see it all in Is not the same window where it is happening And you see it all And it takes you by surprise Oh the window that you're looking through Is not the same window wheres it's happening Take a long breath And take a long hand from your friend Take a long breath And take a long hand from your friend Take a long breath And take a long hand from your friend Put your arms out by your side Make the noise of an airplane going down with your sigh Going down with your sigh Going down with your sigh Going down with your sigh And if we lay on the ice and it breaks I will follow you down I will learn how to survive As a fish As a whale As a multi coloured friend As a fish As a whale As a multi coloured friend As a fish As a whale As a multi coloured friend If you are sighing I will follow till the end If you are looking through a window it will be pretend The windows an aquarium

Reach in And find the ringing If I don't answer I will not miss a thing I can't hear the bells Ringing inside If I don't answer I won't miss a thing I am happy with this I am happy with this Keep repeating Keep repeating this I am happy with this Keep repeating Keep repeating Keep repeating Keep repeating I feel a hand on my forehead and it feels the same

I have put everything I know into the fire Little reflections of my own desires I know how it feels to be alone So lend me your own fingers And in time We will know And in time We will know And in time We will know Thought I was a stable boy Caught crying near the horses Wanted to be a wizard Softly in the night whispers spells that it'll be alright Whisper it'll all be alright Whisper it'll all be alright Whisper it'll all be alright Whisper it'll all be alright I am growing arms Out of my head Doing all the things I would have said (All the things I would have said) Putting you Wondering why Three wise Bring gifts To a baby not a king I don't know what half of these words mean But I'll accept them cos they're better than the thoughts that stay inside your head

The train slowed down to a halt In the snow, no one knows The lights flicker on and off Are we great wizards or ghosts? Holding off yesterdays paper As another day goes Down the carriage the driver goes, offering nods and apologies "I'm sorry we've gone so slow, but this isn't slow! We've just stopped in the snow" - He's trying to stretch the truth. Putting on a performance The day before Christmas I lean over and catch your smile As you look at the frosted window Nothing to see but a hint of your own reflection And I hope we stay a while So I can think of a conversation that will sustain And bring heat to this part of the carriage We are stuck in the snow We won't be able to go for much longer In simple terms: we are just a train in the snow. But what will this mean in time? When we pick up speed In simple terms: we are in a train stuck in the snow. But what will this mean in time? In simple terms In simple terms Clink Clank Clink Clank The train starts to pull away I will miss the slither of the reflection Frozen in the carriage 4/5ths of the way down before we forgot to get out Missing (Then a few shitty clicks as I don't know how to end the song)

Tree 03:13
I offer a hand It goes further down than I ever could have imagined Everything is falling off the Christmas tree All the ornaments around me And I'm worried I'll never put it right But the angel at the top is still shining bright I wonder it sees that I can't quite The sharps of the tree Are covered in green I use it to open myself up And I bleed out green as well I'm a tree as well I am a tree as well And I seek light And I seek light I seek light I seek light And I bend down to the floor And pick all the baubles up And eat them one by one They don't go down easily But I complete the task And now the tree is bare But I feel full inside I am a tree and I seek light The angel is smiling discreetly So polite to stay with me As I bleed green Such a Christmas treat for me (Myles tries to whistle)
