Flame

From far away
It felt like something else
Now I’m here
And I’m staring into my own eyes
They’re the same
Somethings never change
They say it’s not how you feel
It’s what you do that’s you
And I’m just sitting here
Like a sleeping ghost
Waiting for you
(You you waiting for you)
Waiting for you
(You you waiting for you)
To let me through
(You you waiting for you)
Who am I to you
What am I to do
Am I just another dream
Turned back to reality
And I’m watching you walk away
I’m watching you my flame
I feel you
You’re fading away
I feel you
Blowing out the flame

Holy Year
02:04

Wildflowers
Towers made of smoke
I was young in the night
Reaching worlds out of sight
All of the colors exist
Hold a prism to the sunlight
Casting searchlights
Open as a verdant field
Electric Shadows disappear
Into the summer heat
All the people I’ll never meet
All of the colors exist
Hold a prism to the sunlight
Casting searchlights
In my mind I’m kissing ghosts
On the train along the coast
Far away the echo is clear
Unfolding is a holy year
Far away the echo is clear
Unfolding is a holy year
Far away the echo is clear
Unfolding is a holy year

Spring Tide

Oh where do I start
How do you do this to my heart
Let these days fade away
Til we’re standing face to face
Till then
I’ll be the moon and you’re the tide
Or you be the sun and I’m the sky
Over fields of green
Light like you’ve never seen
I dream of you in the dark
You are a part of this place
Feel you in the space where my heart does race
Feel you in the space where my heart does race
Feel you in the space where my heart does race

All of This Time
02:09

Oh darling
Where have you been
All of this time
Now I can stop wondering
I’ve been letting these visions pass me by
And I’ve been forgetting to look above
At the vastness of the sky
The vastness of the sky
It’s been 17 years since you forgot to say goodbye
And may I finally stop asking why
Tired of chasing around
Something that can’t be found
I’m tired of chasing you around
What I’ve found is
The struggle you were lost in
And men who share a semblance of your reflection
How did you find yourself so deep inside the darkness
Maybe there was no sky to remind you of the day
To remind you of the day
It’s been seventeen years since you forgot to say goodbye
And may I finally stop asking why
Tired of chasing around
Something that can’t be found
I’m tired of chasing you around

Generation Loss

Rewind time
Drive down childhood streets
To the place where our lives meet
You said you forgot everything
This is how I grieve
It’s the way I see
This is how I grieve
It’s the way I see
I am like the trees
And you are the breeze
You shake me
Fall is for feeling
Death in the air
Maybe you’re a ghost somewhere
I believe you’ll reappear
When the sky opens up
This is how I grieve
It’s the way I see
This is how I grieve
It’s the way I see
I am like the trees
And you are the breeze
You shake me

Attic Stairs
02:41
|

|
When I was a child
Your body was a bridge I swam under
Rain poured from the gutters
We counted seconds between the thunder
There was an apple tree
No Adam and Eve
No future to foresee
Trying to remember the dead
Is like wind stirring the riverbed
Trying to remember the dead
Is like trailing a vanishing thread
When I was a child
There were attic stairs
That pulled down from the ceiling
I was unaware
Of the evil spirits that resided there
It was a portal
Didn’t know I was mortal
Trying to remember the dead
Is like wind stirring the riverbed
Trying to remember the dead
Is like trailing a vanishing thread
When I was a child
I slept in the basement
Plaster walls and no ceilings
Absorbing other peoples’ feelings
It all turned to caves inside
Your life floods the line of time
Your life floods the line of time

Amplify

September is here
It’s time to face your fears
This body it will fall apart
And people they will break your heart
Feels like I’m growing
Time just keeps on going
I’m not afraid of being far away
Let the past decay
I will amplify
Be like the blue sky
I will amplify
Be like the blue sky
Start from the beginning
Tell me all your stories
Find the reasons why
Examine your goodbyes
Goodbyes
I will amplify
Be like the blue sky
I will amplify
Be like the blue sky
I will amplify
Be like the blue sky
I will amplify

Build a City
03:51
|

Let's take a walk
To know we still can get lost
When the lights go off
No one will notice we’re gone
I know this too will pass
I know this too will pass
I’d break down
This old wall
To make room for you
I’d build a city
For you to come to
I’ll tell you everything’s going to be alright
If it will make you sleep better tonight
Why do you choose sadness
Why am I transparent
What seemed so permanent
Left before the morning.
I wish you were close to me
I know soon you will be
We are dreidels spinning
Sometimes we collide
I’d break down
This old wall
To make room for you
I’d build a city
For you to come to
I’ll tell you everything’s going to be alright
If it will make you sleep better tonight

Concrete Bridges
07:31
|
|||
|
Between mountain town
Thick fog following peaks and valleys
Taken along these winding roads
Up and up and up
Until it’s time to come down again
Come down again
Come down again
And I wonder where all of this is taking me
All of this greenery.
I’m out here passing through
In this til the end
Concrete bridges
I’d stay here awhile and I think I’d be content
But I gotta keep on going
Through it all what I want to be is a vessel of words
Words that carry feelings
For those feelings to be true and that they reach you
Reach you
Reach you
It all comes to an end, yes, it all comes to an end
Concrete bridges
It all comes to an end, yes, it all comes to an end
We’re dropped like pins on a map at our destinations
With tired eyes and wandering minds
We barrel through these moments
Yes I notice the walls I’ve constructed
How I resist what is coming
How I long for the closeness of covers
Rain pounding glass windows
Early morning half-asleep dreams
For you to be here with me
Be here with me,
I’m out here passing through,
In this til the end
I’d stay here awhile and I think I’d be content
But I gotta keep on going
It all comes to an end, yes, it all comes to an end
Concrete bridges
It all comes to an end, yes, it all comes to an end
