Strangers 03:35
lyrics

You’ve been better off babe since I let you slip away I hold onto your memory when I start to stumble I hold onto your memory when I start to stumble I’ve become stuck in the past craving something that’ll last Too much times gone by, were strangers, strangers Go on, go on It’s not your fault I got so weak Go on, go on I put this on myself, don’t know how to leave It’s clear to see for you happiness was never with me Tore through your heart thinking we needed a new start I mustn’t have been sane I gave it all away Go on, go on It’s not your fault I got so weak Go on, go on I put this on myself don’t know how to leave (I’m broken into pieces they don’t fit right) Go on, go on It’s not your fault I got so weak Go on, go on I put this on myself don’t know how to leave (I’m broken into pieces they don’t fit right) Don’t know how to leave Don’t know how to leave

Buried Alive 04:36
lyrics

We turn the lights off to avoid difficult conversation Avoid the truth around us just to plead ignorance I know, I know, you think we built this house on lies I know I know, you're afraid to see it in my eyes Never together, never apart There's cracks in the walls The ceiling grows weaker I know it's only a matter of time Before we're sitting in dust staring at pictures of us Buried alive I know you're feeling defeated Longer than you've wanted to You've seen the faults in us for some time My darling don't think I didn't love you We both gave up on trying My darling don't think I didn't love you Never together, never apart Never together, never apart Never together, never apart Never together, never apart Never together, never apart There's cracks in the walls The ceiling grows weaker I know it's only a matter of time Before we're sitting in dust staring at pictures of us Buried alive Never together, never apart, never together, never apart I had thought that we were grown, I don’t want to be alone Never together, never apart, never together, never apart I don’t want to be alone, I had thought that we were grown Never together, never apart, never together, never apart I had thought that we were grown, I don’t want to be alone Never together, never apart, never together, never apart I was alone, I was alone, I was alone There's cracks in the walls The ceiling grows weaker I know it's only a matter of time Before we're sitting in dust staring at pictures of us Buried alive We’re buried alive

Half Cut 03:22
lyrics

Tell me all your secrets she says, showing up half cut at 3am I can’t keep going through the motions just to have you lie at the end There's no sense in running around pretending like were going to stick it out Oh, but it’s still her that I crave Oh, she begs me to stay a little bit longer Oh, she begs me to stay a little bit longer I can feel my weighted heart sinking down into my bones Oh, she begs me, begs me, stay We keep tripping over ourselves, doing this dance too many times She’s so caught up in addiction, tries to bring comfort to her life Oh, she begs me to stay a little bit longer Oh, she begs me to stay a little bit longer I can feel my weighted heart sinking down into my bones Oh, she begs me, begs me, stay If our walls could talk they would tell the worst of our stories There would be no more hiding behind picture perfect lives You’d be crazy to think we ever had any glory I’d put her in the past if I could, forgive myself for letting this last if I could Oh, she begs me to stay a little bit longer Oh, she begs me to stay a little bit longer I can feel my weighted heart sinking down into my bones Oh, she begs me, begs me, stay Oh, she begs me, begs me, stay

And I play inside my head, over and over again Imagine that the ocean would swallow me whole And I, I would follow you down to the coast Where you told me to go if I ever missed you like home Home, home, home And I’m trapped inside this bed living like a ghost I thought you made me better, I thought that I was better And I, I just want you back I just want to feel your skin against mine Oh, I swear that I miss you like home Home, home You’ve taken every part of me, I need you like the air I breathe Home, home, home I’m broken into pieces they don’t fit right anymore I’m slipping through the cracks of this old wooden floor You promised you would never leave me alone Don’t leave, don’t leave This won't feel like home You’ve taken every part of me, do you need me like the air you breathe Home, home, home You’ve taken every part of me, do you need me like the air you breathe Home, home, Home I miss you like, I miss you like home

Come Back To Me 03:19
lyrics

Stare across the table at a face I don't recognize You say, love hold onto me we’re going to be alright I know there’s secrets in your eyes Yeah they’ve got stories to tell Of emptiness and hollow words How did we get so lonely Oh, come back to me, darling just hold me Don’t want to fill this void with silence, makes so much noise We walk with heavy feet on these dented floors This house is burning down but they wouldn’t know from the outside We’ve got memories that still make me weak But we’ve hardened ourselves, don’t know how to speak Oh, come back to me, darling just hold me Don’t want to fill this void with silence, it makes so much noise Oh, come back to me, darling just hold me Come back, come back, come back to me Oh darling can you see me, all I want is you Oh, come back to me, darling just hold me Don’t want to fill this void with silence, it makes so much noise Oh, come back to me, darling just hold me We are so trapped in defeat I don't want to give up, I don’t want you to leave

Waiting for the fall out as I lay awake at night Nothing’s ever so good, can’t let myself be understood You’ve got a picture of me in your mind Take it easy on me love I don’t want to let you down I’m still learning not to run Giving in is something I've never done Take it easy on me love I’m uncomfortable with the comfort Uneasy with the emotion With this love I can’t stay blind You’ve got a picture of me in your mind Take it easy on me love I can be better just stay I don’t want to let you down, no I’m still learning not to run Giving in is something I've never done Take it easy on me love Take it easy on me love I don’t want to let you down I’m still learning not to run, Giving in is something I've never done Take it easy on me love

Restless Love 04:58
lyrics

Go to sleep with a restless mind Broken thoughts that keep wasting my time Hold my head and I drink instead Blur the visions of you in my head Feel the sheets where you used to sleep Never felt more comfortable with you in my reach Promises and empty lies We like to think we were just killing time Don’t drag this on my darling, darling We’re both broken more that we can repair When I get over you You won’t be stuck in my head, my head When I get over you Won’t cling onto this love that’s dead Without warning you came alive Searching for something that I couldn’t provide But here we are with scars Here we are our new starts Don’t drag this on my darling, darling We’ve both broken more that we can repair When I get over you You won’t be stuck in my head, my head When I get over you Won’t cling onto this love that’s dead I’m crying out as you circle my brain infecting my wounds Only brings me more pain When I get over you I will pretend we’re better off instead Were hanging onto empty possibilities Craving comfort we once felt under the sheets We could say that we tried everything But that lie is what keeps us from feeling anything From feeling anything When I get over you You won’t be stuck in my head, my head When I get over you Won’t cling onto this love that’s dead I’m crying out as you circle my brain infecting my wounds Only brings me more pain When I get over you I will pretend I’m better off instead When I get over you Won’t be stuck in my head, my head I’m crying out as you circle my brain infecting my wounds Only brings me more pain When I get over you I will pretend I’m better off instead

Hollow 04:00

I didn’t want to have to give up what I built for myself I didn’t want you to fight for what you deserved out of me It sickens me to my core Babe just tell me i’ve been falling, falling, falling It’s a bad dream I just want the best for you We both know that’s not me You’ve given everything, the least that I could do is Set you free Space between us feels more comfortable than none at all I’ve tread a thin line keeping you on call It sickens me to my core I don’t know how I got to be so hollow, hollow, hollow It’s a bad dream I just want the best for you We both know that’s not me You’ve given everything, the least that I could do is Set you free I could just stay here with you for a little while Turn back the time and all we’ve been through Forget the words we spoke but never knew I could just stay here with you Darling I'm so sorry I'm so hollow Hollow Hollow Hollow Hollow...

Farewell 04:09

You keep falling holding onto someone else I’ve got secrets that I could tell We both know that you meant well But you keep falling holding on to someone else No pain, no pain I wish you farewell, I’m half to blame Got caught up in a swell No pain, no pain I wish you farewell, I’m half to blame Never wanted you to stay if I’m not someone you could crave You’re a fire that can’t be tamed I’m an ocean to keep me safe No pain, no pain I wish you farewell, I’m half to blame Got caught up in a swell No pain, no pain I wish you farewell, I’m half to blame No pain, no pain I wish you farewell, I’m half to blame Got caught up in a swell No pain, no pain I wish you farewell, I’m half to blame No pain, no pain I wish you farewell, I’m half to blame Got caught up in a swell No pain, no pain I wish you farewell, I’m half to blame I’m half to blame I’ll always miss your face I’m half to blame I wanna keep you safe I’ll always miss your ways I wish you farewell

about

The album "Home" was written about the struggles that can occur when mental health is not made a priority and how it takes a toll on the relationships around you. We hope this album can connect with others that may experience dark times, letting them know they are not alone.

about

Winter Youth image

Winter Youth Vancouver, British Columbia

Winter Youth is a beautifully haunting Vancouver based indie band. They write profound songs together that are sincerely emotional. Winter Youth is inspired by bands The National, Florence and the Machine and Daughter. This inspiration is apparent in their material, yet they have a refreshingly original approach to music. Their music pulls from the shackles of depression and anxiety. ... more
