Less than a horse for this town With nothing around, Their judgment surrounds us crudely. Fenced in by falsehoods and fears, But caged birds still sing, A song of one thing. They won't understand, And have their great plan, And shake with alarm for nothing. They drown out decent, Bound by resent, And feel triumphant for nothing. One day we’ll leave, pieces of you and me. Torn patiently, pieces of you and pieces of me. One night a new moon will rise, Its beams will shine here, But we will be there, together. What we could be burns like fire, And lights up the sky, This sheltered sky. But... They won't understand, And have their great plan, And shake with alarm for nothing. They drown out decent, Bound by resent, And feel triumphant for nothing.

Careless we stray, And slip away. Clouding our clear blue sense Why be afraid? Why run away? Shivering in suspense So long to wait Patience, fate No more excuses Closer to reckless surrender, you and I Closer to secrets inside Closer as seconds go on and on and on So close we never ask why When we return The new lit sky Makes the night all worthwhile Those who insist To play like this, Get what they came for. No more excuses Closer to reckless surrender, you and I Closer to secrets inside Closer as seconds go on and on and on So close we never ask why

3 am and the thoughts rolls in from your lonely world, your only world. A one-way mirror, a one-way seer for a one-way world, one-way your way Goes overexposed you set your sights, with rants on rights and riot all alone, posting to my phone. Trip, and sink the ship as your lines and whines entwine and twist around, again, And spin… Oh, but I love to watch you fall And I love your crumbling wall And I love you when it starts all over Oh I really love to watch you fall I really love me most of all And I love, really love when it starts all over 4 am for your own mayhem, heavy trafficked air, heavy hearted there we see we sigh and we roll our eyes at the ones you’ve lost, the ones you’ve crossed before their out the door you set your sights, with rants on rights and riot all alone, posting to my phone. One Slip of the tongue as your lines and whines entwine and twist around, again, In a spin Oh, but I love to watch you fall And I love your crumbling wall And I love you when it starts all over Oh I really love to watch you fall I really love me most of all And I love, really love when it starts all over

Lies Shielding fragile eyes Meddling little minds Always picking at the seams Weaving stories endlessly - go on Love Guarded and denied Everyone’s a spy Watching, waiting restlessly Relayed back so breathlessly – to you Watch out darling When love comes calling LIsten darling, Trust your open heart. Take fare warning When fate comes calling, Watch out darling, Whispers kill our spark. Thoughts Prying jealous eyes Planning all the time Lovestruck and so secretly Crafting lies so recklessly – and on Watch out darling When love comes calling LIsten darling, Trust your open heart. Take fare warning When fate comes calling, Watch out darling, Whispers kill our spark.

1, 2, 3, 4 These eyes last gazed on Eden, Lost count of all the seasons So great the space that tore us, Less than the space before us. This face reflecting glories, And lined with years of stories. The drifting dunes inside me, Reshape, reform, remind me. The ties that used to bind me Once hard to put behind me And seeing you before me This story starts again And the world is still the same So sacred so profane So the world is not to blame For all the things we’ve made And if good and bad remain And if everything’s the same Then the world is not to blame For all the things we’ve made There must have been a reason A fateful act of treason Guilt without confession Falling down from heaven This upside down procession Too late to change direction When heroes die by millions Then all the saints are villains The ties that used to bind me Once hard to put behind me And seeing you before me The story starts again And the world is still the same So sacred so profane So the world is not to blame For all the things we’ve made If good and bad remain And if everything’s the same Then the world is not to blame For all the things we’ve made

Autumn October Familiar But colder Fearlessly Floating Through spaces Eroding Holding Too closely Broken Locked eyes Reliving Shaken Remembering And into The present With tensions So pleasant Holding So closely Glowing Dear silver sky Stand aside Wave goodbye Just tonight Move along Sober sun at dawn Waking Tethered Aching Together Hollow Laughter Nervously After Holding Too closely Broken Following our old ways again Falling down upon our swords Forgetting all we have learned since then Forever lost in our own worlds Autumn October Dear silver sky Stand aside Wave goodbye Just tonight Move along Sober sun at dawn

Vicariously 04:14
Black books, shaded Lost loves, jaded All for the score His goals, his game A walk, of shame And out the door Such intrigue Such variety They keep a line Oh they swoon As they flock to him Spellbound and blind Girls they talk so furiously Boys they watch so curiously On it goes Show of shows We all live vicariously Fresh face New name Tactics the same Repeat replay He’s with her We’re for him with her Adrift away Girls they talk so furiously Boys they watch so curiously On it goes Show of shows We all live vicariously We all love what you’ve got La-la-la-la We want more than we’ve got La-la-la-la

Darkness 05:31
Waves of struggles Wash in troubles Ebb and they flow Come as they go Weight so heavy Breaks the levy Drawing us down Obsess and we drown From the view on shore From what lies in store From whatever will be Through the sticks and stones Scraping breaking bones Through this willingly Try on the darkness Give in to what you want more Try on the darkness Give in to what you adore Crush of time/space Say less save face Image too clear Cracking veneer Fog and fury Hustled hurried Seams frayed and torn Faded and worn From the view on shore From what lies in store From whatever will be Through the sticks and stones Scraping breaking bones Through this willingly Try on the darkness Give in to what you want more Try on the darkness Give in to what you adore

Hollow 04:16
And what, we just pretend, It’s the start and not the end? When the only thing we love, Is our independence. Promises, superficial An arrogant charade. Through the phone we do fine, Abbreviated by design, Short, sweet, playfully, We bait each other… Every round, It seems we’re over Every night – it’s far from over… But every word can leave me Hollow hollow And every plan undone is Hollow, hollow And every empty heart is Hollow, hollow home. Every break, every space Every petty tiff erased, And then you’re at my door It’s never over. Promises, superficial An elegant charade. But every word can leave me Hollow hollow And every plan undone is Hollow, hollow And every empty heart is Hollow, hollow home.

Hands under tables Schemes and angles No one sees Marks from a mistress Crooked kisses On our knees Like Flirt Hide Hurt We’ll Get Ours Yet Touch fast and fleeting Sets hearts beating We can’t disclose Wait Stay Don’t Stray We’ll Get Ours Yet Tonight, let’s bleed our senses Tonight’s tomorrow’s lie Tonight let’s bleed our senses New stars in the sky Hush in the trenches Veil the senses Stay in line Dark, draped in danger Act the stranger They’ll never find We’ll Get Ours Yet Tonight, let’s bleed our senses Tonight’s Tomorrow’s lie Tonight let’s bleed our senses New stars in the sky
