Sense of Me
03:25
|

|
So suddenly you slipped away
Left a shadow on my heart
I didn't even see you hightail it out
Till you disappeared in the dark
In your eyes I lost all sense of me
Now it’s clear, your flight set me free
Charming smiles, pretty words, heavy chains
You swept me off my feet
But being in your life would have kept me on my toes
Constantly
In your eyes I lost all sense of me,
Now it’s clear, your flight set me free
Looking back my pride was more bruised
Than my heart when you didn't choose me
But I mistook the pain at the time
When I thought you would be mine
In your eyes I lost all sense of me
Now it’s clear, your flight set me free

Worryblur

|
Thoughtfulness ceased, transforming
Default peace of mind
Blinded eyes satisfied
Decide to sacrifice buried truths
Faded focus, fended worth
Cast as clear the worryblur
Viciously recycled
Challenging a new voice
Will it ever be heard,
Be a choice stubborn souls strive to learn
Faded focus, fended worth
Cast as clear the worryblur
All’s been passed over to know
A future etched in solid stone

In a Moment

Tell me this memory, tell me this memory here
Has it lessened emptiness, preserving the little bit left
Don’t say it’s just the same, ‘cause too soon is much too late
There’s a space on either side and you can’t throw it away
Just look down and embrace this feeling
In the insincere reminisce your false delight
Close your eyes and glimpse this feeling
Because lifetimes then are the seconds here again
Be fleet of mind, or the fleeting time will
Will pass as the sleeping hours, it’ll slip around us
Difference is eminent, but is it reverent still
There’s nothing words can do but is there something that will
Just look down and embrace this feeling
In the insincere reminisce your false delight
Close your eyes and glimpse this feeling
Because lifetimes then are the seconds here again
‘Cause in a moment it will surface
In a moment it will forever be lost
In a moment it will surface
In a moment it will forever be lost
Just look down and embrace this feeling
In the insincere reminisce your false delight
Close your eyes and glimpse this feeling
Because lifetimes then are the seconds here again

Fix

Wondering of permanence
Speak as if it’s obvious
Falling for the parody
Your arguments are on repeat
In repair, but forever fixed, you say that
Time will tell, but I just hear ticks, it’s always
Understood, ever overrun, you’re frozen in
The default, no ways overcome
Patternless consistency
To attain but not achieve
Pocket proof preoccupied
Kept until acute divide
In repair, but forever fixed, you say that
Time will tell, but I just hear ticks, it’s always
Understood, ever overrun, you’re frozen in
The default, no ways overcome
Just as it melts away
You slip and fall
Blunder or blinding
Forced to withdraw
In repair, but forever fixed, you say that
Time will tell, but I just hear ticks, it’s always
Understood, ever overrun, you’re frozen in
The default, no ways overcome

Beautiful Wilderness
04:10

You have brought me to this place
Where hazy shadows conceal any trace of reality
We are just two dots in a void
Spinning on a globe beyond all tangibility
Golden light diffused and spreading
Softly creeping near
Beautiful wilderness, never knew
Chaos so soothing
Anchored here by your touched, stilled within
The vast unmoving
Seeking out these hidden trails
Winding endlessly and failing to find
Our inevitable end
Parting from this untamed land that lies within our minds
Slow receding, now returning
Dreamscape realized
Beautiful wilderness, never knew
Chaos so soothing
Anchored here by your touched, stilled within
The vast unmoving
Confusion leads to clarity so sharp
It pricks my skin like ice
Cold without and warm within
Willingly lost in this eternity
Long and unending in
A universe devoid of sin
Beautiful wilderness, never knew
Chaos so soothing
Anchored here by your touched, stilled within
The vast unmoving
Beautiful wilderness, never felt
More alive than with you
Hold on to this moment
Though the time it slips through

Liar's Dice
03:30
|
|||
|
I’m never good at reading minds
When they’re locked up and barred so tight
Your face a mask for what lies deep
Only your eyes hint at the thoughts you keep
Afraid to reveal our true hands
We bluff and trick and make demands
I know you know that this isn’t over
But we still just act the same
Let’s stop and drop all our false pretenses
There’s a chance that we both win this game
Our game will never have an end
If we stand fast, refuse to bend
It’s time to make a compromise
And put an end to all these lies
I know you know that this isn’t over
But we still just act the same
Let’s stop and drop all our false pretenses
There’s a chance that we both win this game
Running in circles, feigning indifference
Raising the stakes high every play
The dice hit the table, slowly rolling
Let’s not let them decide our fate
I know you know that this isn’t over
But we still just act the same
Let’s stop and drop all our false pretenses
There’s a chance that we both win this game

Everlove
04:48
|

|
Static clear as locking boundaries
Standing still the land escapes
A silhouette of restoration
Endeavors bide as axes shiver
Solace snow falls empty
Over the Everlove, Everlove
Foraying wind in hidden haven
Wandering as Everlove
Misted fractals blurring vista
Wooded towers fall to waste
A fractured mind maintains forgetful
The pinnacle of destination
Solace snow falls empty
Over the Everlove, Everlove
Foraying wind in hidden haven
Wandering as Everlove, Everlove
Everlove, Everlove
Convalescence
Render timeless
Fastened frailty
Fated accedence
Solace snow falls empty
Over the Everlove
Foraying wind in hidden haven
Wandering

Oblivion
03:28

The trade, the trade always misconstrued, the misled
Discern, discern artifice as truth
The fooled and foolish are disparate but all the same
Devised devices of forged effect
Sensitivities overlooked
The oblivion’s taken everyone, oh
Fixed assurance and stifled fear
It’s without recourse, all that you’ve stood for, oh
Away, away from the unperceived is paradise
The rest impending the cause
And I, and I’ve come this far to find, to find that
That I can’t ransom the tide
Sensitivities overlooked
The oblivion’s taken everyone, oh
Fixed assurance and stifled fear
It’s without recourse, all that you’ve stood for, oh
And I, and I’ve come this far to find…

Edinburgh
04:00
|

|
City built between the hills
Where your skies indecisively choose
To polish the cobbles that hobbled me the night
My knees came home bloodied and bruised
Iron rails split your width in two
The old and the new set apart
But the meadows and mountains and stones they pervade
You were an old soul from the start
I will return to you
If you’ll take me back anew
To once again wander the streets that are under
A spell none can be immune to
Spires that pierce the clouds
Haunted by the sharp cries of the gulls
Dark closes I walked through held people that talked
Whose brogues echo still in my soul
I will return to you
If you’ll take me back anew
To once again wander the streets that are under
A spell none can be immune to
Some nights too soon to morning had turned
Some farewells too fond
But the dances and walks and stories and songs
Will keep with me ere long
And I will return to you
No matter the heartache it might put me through
And once again wander the streets that are under
A spell none can be immune to
A spell none can be immune to
You’re a spell I can’t be immune to

Beacon
03:49

I've been dashed on the rocks by countless tidal waves
Only dead ends greet me day after day
Foundered in a foreign sea before I’m home
A common casualty
Am I lost
Or am I found
The north star obscured by the storm clouds that gather
And I don’t have, don’t have any direction
The heart and the mind diverge so rapidly
But they crave connection
Am I lost
Or am I found
Am I lost
Or am I found
Keep the light burning
An end to my wandering
Keep the light burning
An end to my wandering
Am I lost
Or am I found
Am I lost
Or am I found
Keep the light burning
An end to my wandering
Keep the light burning
A home for my wandering soul
