Shame
02:50
|
|||
|
Giving up on the grand illusion
I kept myself from keeping the score
I was a martyred poet on the path of delusion
I was vainly angered laying down on the floor
Passing by, waving as they go
the saints march one by one in a row
hand in hand, it's the law of consternation
reaping all of the sins that I'd sewn
'cause buried deep
deep behind
the hidden corners of the folds,
of my mind
is a glowing shame
right at home
yeah it follows me closely wherever I go
it's the spectre of a fractured past
or a
hidden agent meant to disarm
pulling teeth defanged iconoclast
winking evil snared within its charm
Let's Rock
What a shame tied up in my brain
what a shame I can't see in the dark
what a shame I can't lose these chains
what a shame, brand me with your mark

Sing Along Sing Alone
03:13
|
|||
|
Watching silently from behind the screen
hold your tongue and don't intervene
everything proceeds as planned
don't pretend like you don't understand
sing along
don't sing alone
seems like the passing hour never comes
like a winding wooded path that never takes you home
but there is no reason to be afraid
we all go together now the price is paid
sing along
don't sing alone

Unconditional
03:04
|
|||
|
I will try to be the person that you see when you close your eyes
wrap my heart in shades of gold
a love that's bold with no compromise
when my life is out of tune i look over my shoulder and i see you
|

Persistence
04:15
|
|||
|
in your thoughts
in your head
do you see things differently
do you want to be somewhere else
away from where you said you'd be
cause i'm afraid then i cry and it makes me wanna die
but there are facts that i can't change
so i have to stay alive
oh no
alright
in your heart
do you feel
persistent beats for someone else
and in your dreams
do your feet
move to the rhythm of their spell
cause when i tell the world good night i close my eyes
and i think of you
oh sometimes it keeps me up
am i the one you're seeing too?

Dreams
03:13
|
|||
|
Lately when I lay myself
Down to bed
I hope that I will not awake to greet the sun
I could spend a million years, hiding in my head
and never find another reason, a reason, to run
cause in my dreams i
am a million miles in the sky
and in my dreams i
i am not afraid to die

Meant To Do
02:52
|
|||
|
it's okay that you thought i was a liar
it's okay that you thought i never told the truth
it's okay that you thought i was a liar
maybe i could never tell if i was lying too
maybe i just don't how things are supposed to go
maybe i just think that i am not supposed to know
words come out
am i speaking clear to you
am i making any sense
i can't
tell you
how i feel
because i can
hardly
tell what's real
i can't
begin to
guide you through
maybe i just don't know what i am
meant to do

Tender Hearts
03:39
|
|||
|
Now that everything falls into place
and we're exactly where we're meant to be
i want to share this space
i want to share everything with you
and in our chests:
tender hearts
beating loud inside our chests
|

In My Own Way
03:22
|
|||
|
why do i make it so hard
to do a simple thing
i just want to open up and let myself sing
but my heart has become so closed
i have seen the gate snap shut
crashing with such force
before i could say anything
it faded like before
yes my hear has become so closed
and i still don't know the remedy
or how long this will stay
but patience is all i request
when the fog rolls through my way
but my heart has become so closed

Identity
06:20
|
|||
|
when i look in the mirror
i don't know what i see
can't follow the lines that make my face
the lines that make up me
my person a shadow
cloaked within the dark
nothing so black and white
no nothing quite so stark
who am i and who are you?
I don't think we'll ever know the truth
who are you and who is me?
Nothing's ever clear to see
approach the world face to face
then be put right in your place
who am i and who are you and what are we supposed to do?
i don't know.
cohesive identity
correct function in society
understood identity
a unified mentality
though I'm not clear if it exists
tear it down with shaking fists
i'm so tired of identity
just need to learn how to be

Checking In (demo)
06:33
|
|||
|
hey
how's it goin
how've you been
tell me, is it still snowing where you live?
echo of the past
echo of the past, haunt me once again
fogging up the window pane
with shallow quiet breaths
the storm descended
taking the pace of a time lapse
each new gathering of snow
dusted white whirlwinds
and sheer
sheets of ice
placing gentle kisses
on the very top of your head
meet me halfway with a glancing blow
figure out my intent
adhering to that comfort mask
no, these aren't the words that i meant.
adhering to that comfort mask
but we can't hide that tenderness

another night another dream
passing by
slowly
another night another dream
i could never let it be
afraid of collecting
mire dust
felt the hand of destiny
a real page turner, seemed to me
but where untrodden ground lay quiet now all around
another night another dream
the sallow hand desperate to prove
another land waiting for me
and you
it's pointing up
then back down
resume the sacred din
lay quiet now all around
searcher seeker tell on me
tell me the brightest lie
you conceive
an hour of sleeping
an hour goes by
and we all throw up our hands
we couldn't tell you why
what's so important
oh can't it wait?
lines now diverging can't
keep
it straight
from half-truths
and emboldened facts
what once was mystery
is hardly left intact
another night another dream
another night another dream
let the will return to me
until a dream
stops being a dream
