From Light
03:30
|
|||
born from light we rose
and danced on a tightrope
oh it never gets old
we never forget what we know
we are the old dreams at the bottom of the sea
rising to the surface
with our memories
form and shapeless
i drift from one thing to the next
i go resting in between the unseen and the unknown
we expand like mysteries unsolved
picking up what seems untouchable
gathering speed beyond the seen
a lucid dream yet to be
on and on we come and go
flames flickering taught to know
time is moving us along
on and on and on and on and on
we come and go

Pieces
03:54
|
|||
sometimes we be fallin’ from the sky
you’d be surprised
just how fast we turn
light on our feet
digging holes
searching for gold
finding lies
open eyes
to see
the invisible
too slippery to hold
too frenetic
too bold
pieces of a whole
don’t you know
these bodies get tired of movin' like machinery
rustin’ over, weavin’ in and out of dreamscapes
we escape
into wandering
hollow bones drawing mass we forget
we are not our limits
we are ageless
energy unfolding
unfolding
free fallin' towards the light
don’t be so tied to time

Upside Down
03:58
|
|||
i been upside down
on a couple of things
in my head
they been rolling around
how do i get over this feeling
so stuck
my feet won't move like i want them to
and i just sink further into you
how do i get over this feeling
i'm so stuck
circles become familiar
feels easy
a bit simpler
to let gravity take me, sway me
turn me inside out and in again
no beginning or end
no telling when
we gonna stop pretending
gonna stop this foolishness
like sinking into quicksand
i’m forgetting my footing
don’t know what i did before

Broken Lines
03:53
|
|||
tracing the broken lines
i echo back in between
digits and digits undone
time’s a widow who weeps
and for her i breathe
cut me down
cut me up like loose leaf
hang my property out to dry
sinew settling like confetti
and here i am falling
like grace
gather me in stones
to skim the divide
unshakeable my faith
untameable my rage
‘cause collared and chained
a lion is still a lion even when covered and caged
muddy and muddled inside
i know my role, i’ve walked these roads before
running on empty until
i hit the wall, slide onto the floor
cut me down
cut me up i need this
hang my head in my hands and cry
shattered pieces of me go missing
i’m so dizzy from falling
baptized
in the underworld
just to feel the contrast when i rise
|

Static
03:57
|
|||
static on the line
it’s a distance well defined
as drops of time
puddle
at our feet
but i don’t want all this space in between us
i don’t want to lose you
lose love
hurry hurry here we go now
here we go now
faster faster moving apart
there’s no time to slow down
all these games we play
keep getting us caught up
wound so tightly in our nets
till we totally forget
we bear down into spaces much too close hold us
just to have a place to call our own
but i know i could be your home
i am building a castle in your comfort zone
we touch down to break ground
we are
we are ready now
|

Time War
03:26
|
|||
in a time war
by the fields where we soar
like outlaws
who flee from the world
in the backdrop
broken clocks and everything we know
fallin’ down around us
gilded in gold
where do we wander
when the sun disappears
will we remember
we were once here
where do we wander
|
||||

Night Sky
03:44
|
|||
on the merry go
merry go
we
go
round
chasing silhouettes and sound
fleeting flickering lights
bright against the night sky
feel it running up my spine
away we go
with our backs to the shore
we’re looking for more
more
dressed and undressed
slow light form
rippling tides
tornadoes
oh, oh, oh
we drift drop into higher states
let shadows sound our escape
i love the hide and the seek
head start in the chase

Oblivion
04:42
|
|
||
there will come a day
when the lullabies in your landslide
will begin to give way
to a darker place
will you stay or will you go
will you stay or will you go
into oblivion
into oblivion
walls up and you take up arms
to fight against us
as the days go on
walls up and they won’t come down
the higher you get
the harder you hit the ground
didn’t you see me standin’ there
watchin’ you go by
|

Left
01:58
|
|||
into the night we went
holding on
to what’s left
but will we forget
will we forget
into the night we went
|

Otherside
03:39
|
|||
never meant to disappear
these shadows grow weary over the years
feels like a disease that took over me
i’m tryin’ to break free
so i’m runnin' over
runnin' over
to the other side
runnin' over
runnin' over
to the other side
of this
trying to get over
over this
trying to get over
broken back and crooked from the carrying
bent into my wings
i'm no longer balancing
my head been heavy not knowing
for every ghost there’s a returning
been here the whole time
out of sight
you will find me
in the night
|

Canvas
04:53
|
|||
colors painted across my landscape
because you know
i can be your canvas
or
the whispers
from your lips
soft like
ocean mist
and i hear a roaring thunder
echo
all the crazy little worlds we’re made of
isn’t quite enough
it never was
but your touch
defines my love
sing me
i'm your melody
