Sun and Shadows

I paint a self portrait
to take a look through your eyes
crystallize sonnets
with every breath of your life
I know we’ve both been sifting
through future memories
making my world change
from clear lines to dreams beyond me
facing my love’s gaze
clear eyed, i love our mystery
we breathe the same night air
lament when morning arrives
we walk through sun and shadows
and share the glint in our eyes
I know we’re searching
I know we’re merging
I know we’re burning in
I know we’re bursting
making my world change
from clear lines to dreams beyond me
facing my love’s gaze
clear eyed, i love our mystery
seeing now the world through our eyes, evermore
making my world change
from clear lines to dreams beyond me
facing my love’s gaze
clear eyed, i love our mystery

Falling Man
02:53
|

when you see the long road
end sky high
those receding loopholes
cinch tight in your hindsight
throw it out cold
break it down low
through the sky
you scream alone
terrified
it would happen anyway
rectified
by streets below
simplified
by the gravity
of suicide
of your fate
when you feel the heat blow
past blind eyes
peace is out the window
the height of a lifetime
throw it out cold
break it down low
through the sky
you scream alone
terrified
it would happen anyway
breathe one last time
we’d do the same
witness cries
that we are you, next to fall
yeah we’re all with you
your suicide is the least of you
dignified
it would happen anyway
through the sky
you don’t scream alone, we are with you

Semantics
04:12

delirium feels fine
with memories long gone
you say that we’re always on fire
and never have you ever been wrong
it feels mysterious
a feeling that we’re not always truthful
I’m feeling furious
scribbling the writing on the wall
it’s feeling serious
feeling that we might have gone too far
i think this is a foretold story
this is familiar territory
believing you is my
tedium full blown
rips in the fabricated lines
light obliterates the shadows
it feels mysterious
a feeling that we’re not always truthful
I’m feeling furious
scribbling the writing on the wall
it’s feeling serious
feeling that we might have gone too far
i think this is a foretold story
it’s familiar territory
it feels mysterious
a feeling that we’re not always truthful
I’m feeling furious
scribbling the writing on the wall
it’s feeling serious
feeling that we might have gone too far
i think this is a foretold story

Droner
04:34
|

when all the pessimism doesn’t show
the hindered mannerisms smolder below
vying unknown
a quiet mysticism calling out
through all the cynicism kindling doubt
blinding and cold
I’ve lost my way now, I’m sold
I brace for rain high above blue skies
a taste of pain and I’m so tongue tied
overpowered and suggestible
these lurid principles are believable, blinding and cold
when all the pessimism doesn’t show
these hindered mannerisms smolder below
vying unknown
I’ve lost my way now, I’m sold
I brace for rain high above blue skies
I’ve lost the way through the storm
goodbye

Lacuna
04:09

yes I get it
I’d sleep through the world
will I let it smother the urge
to cry out with pessimism
lay off and let the music die
it’s in my way now
I have a say now
I’ll let it play out
you wanna know what I’m saying
through all the words from paradise
I never know what I’m bringing in
this place of cold, selfish sighs
every word is not worth hanging
onto with patience or prying eyes
yes I get it, speak from the heart
I’m just shaking, and weak from the start
overloaded with nobody’s thoughts
spinning with hearts anesthetized
it’s in my way now
I have a say now
I’ll let it play out
you wanna know what I’m saying
through all the words from paradise
every word is not worth hanging
onto with patience or prying eyes
I never know what I’m bringing in
this place of cold, selfish sighs
you wanna know what I’m saying
through all the words from paradise

Unreachable Island
04:27
|

you talk me off the ledge with crumbling views
outside
you know my mind so well
inside
it's like you live in here
slowly wade out in the water
closely stay next to your father, oh
let go
the pain
we're only water
slowly sink, begin to wander
slow
so blue
reach out to wash in
I'm too far out, I should be rescuing you
still time
you'd fill your lungs with air
just try
I'll never leave you
still time
let go, the pain, it's only water
slowly sink, begin to wander
so blue
reach out and wash in

Melt
04:20
|
|||
we lay at the edge of the ocean
the city rewinds
a space that's all ours
we play under shimmering stars
and you're all that I can believe in this world
a state of perpetual wonder
life oscillates
the space is all ours
the pace of a rolling blue wave
and you're all that I can believe in this world, spinning me round and round
know you are everything that makes it all matter
I'll hold your heart
and find a way for things to get better
grow through fire
and let the rain fix everything later
close your eyes, and let the doubt melt away forever
erase all the worry that racks you
the beat of your heart
the pace is all ours
I see all my dreams through your eyes
and you're all that I can believe in this world, spinning me round and round
round and round...
know you are everything that makes it all matter
I'll hold your heart
and find a way for things to get better
grow through fire
and let the rain fix everything later
and let the doubt melt away forever

Wishbone

sailing through the quiet
careening alone
shoot into the high space above
spill out through crushing gears
stay awake, stay awake
fade away, fade away
clutching to stunning fear
fade away, fade away
stay awake, stay awake
seat belt keeps on fighting
a game of wishbone
bursting from the highway above
spill out through crushing gears
stay awake, stay awake
fade away, fade away
clutching to stunning fear
fade away, fade away
stay awake, stay awake
spill out through crushing gears
clutching to stunning fear
