Why
This song explores the dismay we feel when we believe the limiting thoughts that run through our minds. Caught in negative patterns, we can lose connection — with others, and with ourselves. Why parallels the unraveling of a relationship with someone else and the painful disconnect from our own sense of worth. It ends with a quiet ache: What would we give, do, and say... to come home — to them, or to ourselves?
Where We Sleep
“Where We Sleep” moves from shared desires to stark streets, refusing to other anyone. A mantra of unity (“we want the same things”) opens the door; then the perspective flips—freedom’s illusion, the descent into cold, hunger, and being unseen. A stuttering 911-like plea and late-night madness reveal fear more than menace. The final reflection lands softly and truthfully: we were children once; we wanted love and purpose; the only difference now may be a bed and a lock. Compassion, here, is the chorus.
