New Dawn
04:00
|

|
This is a new dawn, washing away the old, the ebb and flow
In the low sun, from the river bend, we descend
We collected the stars, one for each scar
With no end to the starts, why begin with the last
This is a new dawn, changes on a wave, shorelines break
In the open, carried by the tide, to day from night
We collected the stars, one for each scar
With no end to the starts, why begin with the last
Here's a new dawn, coming with the light, no one to hide
We collected the stars, one for each scar
With no end to the starts, why begin with the last
We collected the stars, there's more than enough
To become who we start, to begin as we are
This is a new dawn, washing away the old, letting go

Beyond
03:50
|
|||
|
Our states of being were in perpetual motion
Back and forth and in between
With machine noise I was praying in the hallway
Would this ever reach what you put in
This is beyond
Earth shaking love
A high wire trust
A white knuckle rush
All bets are off
All good dreams dissolve in the light of the morning
Leaving traces of the night before
I believed this would be our reality
Something close but never quite so far
But this is beyond
Earth shaking love
A high wire trust
A white knuckle rush
In fluorescence she was breathing by her own lungs
In a corner, quiet as sleep
Eyes adjusting to the light and the shadow
Soon to see us for what we could be
This is beyond
Breath stealing love
Free falling up
Ground breaking us
All bets, all bets, all bets are off

Odds and Evens
04:18
|
|||
|
Patience
Needed patience
Waiting for daybreak
Your day to break into ours
In small hours
Odds and Evens
Laid our hope upon the line
We changed direction lest we'd ever change our minds
Instinct
It was instinct
Ancient
Complacent
A bridge from the past
Built to last
Odds and Evens
Laid our hope upon the line
We changed direction lest we'd ever change our minds
Odds or Evens stayed our hand
We stayed all in
We played along before we ever knew to win

Your Voice
05:26
|
|||
|
It's not a little thing to survive and keep your mind in one piece
I've lost it more than once and remembered your voice is the release
I'm so tired, tired of counting the times I've surrendered
I'm so tired, tired of counting the years you've surrendered
Your voice screams louder now
It should be enough to bring me home
It's not a little thing to survive and keep your mind in one piece
I've lost it more than once and remembered your voice is the release
I'm so tired, tired of counting the times I've surrendered
I'm so tired, tired of counting the years you've surrendered
Your voice screams louder now
It should be enough to bring me home
Your voice screams louder now
In hope I fill the silence 'til it's gone
Resisting the mantra over and over
"I can't let you down if i'm not around"

Someway
02:50
|
|
||
|
A cool breeze blows
Memories flow
Someway I will stay
Someway I'll save this day with you
Firelight into the night
An undertow
Together alone
Someway I will stay
Someway I'll save this day with you

Adrift
06:38
|
|||
|
We headed north, an ocean crossed
We stayed aboard for long enough
To keep on course we kept on course
Against the waves and kept our form
Into the force of each white horse
Still rolling in and crashing off
Like lives we've lived and those we'd lost
All love has cost
Now we're caught adrift
Searching for the line
Out along the edge
Waiting for the tide
The calm in the storm, a pale swan song
We said goodbye to chances gone
Too chances gone, to sails still flown
We are still going
Now we're caught adrift
Searching for the line
Out along the edge
Waiting for the tide
How did we come adrift
Moored on every side
To the ones we miss
To the ties, to the ties, ties that bind, ties that bind
Going back and forth between horizons
Still lost in loss and found in time
This unreality
Time bending back at me
One step from apathy
Motion to atrophy
All out of energy
Drifting with gravity
Peace is a vanity
We can't afford
(Out on the edge, under the sky, by the moonlight,
We'll find the line, to pull us back again)

Trespasser
04:00
|
|||
|
I was the clay in warmer hands pushed down and rolled
Believing I was holding mine around my own resolve
I set one foot in a door left open
I swore it was calling my name into lights
in no time
I came to know that I still knew nothing
I was trespassing on my way back to where I belong
Some words get stuck in my throat like bones of regret
Remains of pretence uncaptured, exposed nonetheless
I set one foot in a door left open
I swore it was calling my name into lights
in no time
I came to know that I still knew nothing
I was trespassing on my way back to where I belong
I set one foot in a door left open
I swore it was calling my name into lights
in no time
I came to know that I still knew nothing
I was trespassing on my way back to where I belong
I pulled apart all the lies that i've lived
All the floors that moved me before I could take
one step
I came to know that i still know nothing
I am trespassing on my way back to where i belong

You Know
04:46
|
|
||
|
There is strength in fragility
Corrupted by integrity
A counterweight to solitude
Is the privilege of knowing you
New born in free form
Marching on through a hailstorm
You held her up
Reborn in birdsong
Coming home to what's been gone
you held her up
All the time she took from you
She'll give back when yours is due
New born and informed
A mother's love in reform
You held her up
When the sky came down too low
You revealed what's just below
Every light comes from a glow
She'll believe in what you know

Tigers
03:47
|
|||
|
Raging and lost within
A guilt that has no bones
Boxed in and weathering
A storm yet to begin
Unchain the tigers in your head
And tame your history instead
Hey love, it's do or die
A dare to try again
Look back, see your tracks behind
Don't fade before the end
Unchain the tigers in your head
And tame your history instead
Some words are better unsaid
They lead you only where led
Hey love, this new terrain
Will change and change again
Dig in, no surrendering
And loose the storm within
Unchain the tigers in your head
And claim your history as dead
So lay your letters on the bed
And take your history as read
Your tigers lead you where they're led
Your tigers leave behind regret

Chrysalis
06:39
|
|||
|
Lost to another world
A brave one takes you on
Released from the noose of time
to become, to be known
Wings like a diving bird
Head first in the blue
You shone like a dying star
Fire red to the end
Yet to be born
Metamorph
A shadow against the moon
Light rays consumed
Burn like the rising sun
Light rays renewed
Still to be born
Metamorph
