about

This song was inspired by the idea that within every heart, there was a Painted glass window, that you can look through but never fully know its warmth within. Reflecting through the glass at the darkening days of winter and by sinking into the darkness, we lift ourselves up and grow into the light.

lyrics

Everyone has a story to tell
In a secret jar, high up on a shelf
With a tiny spoon you can help yourself
But you’ll never know the depth of the well

In every heart there’s a window frame
Painted glass against the rain
Press your lips upon the pane
Reach inside, carve your name

When the love is cold winter slowly folds
Deep inside your head on a feather bed
Drink the blood of Christ stain your lips with lies
Cause nothing tastes as nice, in your heart you want to fight

Before the snow falls between your toes
In that cold morning glow
And you know you might sink like a stone
All on your own
It’s how you grow rising up from below

All the love I have claimed
Sleeps on the floor in the bed I made
When your body begins to sway
Like a child in your arms I misbehave

But if I could have you now, I would tell you somehow
We were led astray by our beautiful decay
I drank the blood of Christ stained my lips with lies
Cause nothing tastes as nice when your heart was next to mine.

Before the snow fell between my toes
In that cold morning glow
And I know I might sink like a stone
All on my own
It’s how you grow rising up from below
