Who knows what these spirits Circling my head have to say What was me now looks back Over my shoulder as if I live in a memory Like when you were lonely You practiced your lines Straight from a movie scene Your means to an ending That's just out of reach Spun out to infinity Still waiting on that call For an hour Still waiting on that voice To get me through the day I cannot give it all In one lifetime Every moment all at once The regrets Invisible thoughts Selling lies that nobody bought Wondering where the people are Who will recognize your scars And so onward broken lies Tapestry undone And its many times before Each thread makes a traveler Testing their patience with Getting through my door Still waiting on that call For an hour Still waiting on that voice To get me through the day I cannot give it all When you wanted Every moment all at once All at once

New Years 03:33
There she stood At the corner of just and never would Her right hand's up and her life is draining Washed out on the road Spirit in her sigh Clouding up the air and her bleary eyes Midnight comes with another change Harsh fluorescent lights Burning through her mind No one can help you now Until you learn to love yourself Standing by the siren sounds Away from the city Stranger so kind At arm's length and she keeps them blind Reaching for her memory of a Softer side of life Shattered on that night No one can help you now Until you learn to love yourself Standing by the siren sounds Away from the city No one can help you now Until you learn to love yourself Standing by the siren sounds Over the city No one can help you now Until you learn to love yourself Standing by the siren sounds Over the city

I've been thinking 'bout All this silence and What it means between ourselves There's no words for nothing else When our lips are still entwined I can take all the touch and talking but How the two never merge as one There's a side to the setting sun That I'm hoping we can find With no more borders I'll break them down for you All sides excised Out of the darkness of hidden view A keepsake, give and take Whenever you come my way Find those times when We can talk with nothing to say I've been thinking 'bout The time that follows when You are leaving my front door I find myself always wanting more Of the language that we share The freedom while away from the whole world I feel it still by your side I've got nothing left to hide So show me the same care With no more borders I'll break them down for you All sides excised Out of the darkness of hidden view A keepsake, give and take Whenever you come my way Find those times when We can talk with nothing to say The timing of the sensation Bringing the silence born of knowing The open-ended conversation That's holding us Wrapped up safe and soundly Caught up in the quiet escalation Onto the first spark climbing to glowing The disentangled understanding The balance of a love that's all surrounding Both of us in daylight of our creation Energy given form and it's growing We can see more than a reflection The power to turn our hearts' connection Into our lives Into our lives

Plans 03:54
How can I show that I feel so much love For you every day Only so many of the hours in tow Once I can get away Oh, baby But lately when you make those plans I realize You wonder too If we're in one space When we can Get that same sense Where no matter what we do It will turn my day around Open my heart to the love we share Lets me know its there And yours from me We're in harmony Whenever we call For any plans at all Till we meet again It's been too long The rhythm of going and nearing that flow It's what's leading us on A chain reaction just has to start After so far gone Oh, brother That's why I come through with those plans I'm sure that We'll have a good time It's always passing Faster than I want it to But not the last of its kind That will turn my day around Open my heart to the love we share Lets me know its there And yours from me We're in harmony Whenever we call For any plans at all No matter how small Shows me that you care The time I spend With you, my dearest friends I treasure most of all Golden memories I can recall Till we meet again It's been too long

If you're there what are you thinking If you're there what are speaking If you're there when are you listening If you are there Aware where you stood Away from us In your own room just a window that's stained by the sun When I begun and you were there Where you're always looking Out to nowhere I could not believe That this was you Inside the pictures and stories that raised us enthralled Now so small A man in a chair And when are you leaving If you are there We all fought the fading With none of the spark When the light flickers out of your eyes And into the black Did you know with your creating That it was there A flame so diseased The haunted word Echoing entropy Chasing us through blood and bone Cursed your own Leaving your care And your mind erasing If you are there We all fought the fading With none of the spark When the light flickered out of your eyes And into the black Did you know That life cannot live Without love in return And you said it would always be found Yet you leave us without And where are you going If you're there why are you waiting If you're there it can't be living If you are there

Q & A 06:28
When the light grows dim The shadows merge into him He knows more than I want to share A burning incense in the air Takes my eyes to the horizon line The mirror that I hide behind Tends to crack and split in two The jagged glass lays in my room He's a ritual He's a phantom He's my fault I'm on the verge of what you could be Underneath the surface Beginning in your blood So close to everything That seems to matter in this world I'll let you fool yourself We are one and the same I've turned off The voices screaming in your ear A pale imitation The life you want to lead With every moment Friends becoming strangers now You don't have to notice The shifting of the frame No I'll get you out But you'll be back Another round The gate is close to breaking And I don't think I can hold on much longer Maybe a taste for the aching You're the easy way out When my fears eclipse my fight I come to you every night To forget the blame I need more love than I can ever have for myself While I have so much to share for those who will take Yes Come over and take apart in me Your final hope when Tomorrow can't be found Off in the distance A familiar figure in the crowd To get you to that place That you can never stay No I'll get you out But you'll be back Another round The gate is close to breaking And I don't think I can hold on much longer Maybe a taste for the aching You're the easy way out If I say I've won then I've already lost Forgive the itch but it's coming across my mind And heaven's just a wasting away This is how I pray Maybe I want to be broken Maybe I want to be safe Maybe I want to be open Maybe it's already too late It's too late

Madeline 03:32
Madeline where have you gone I've been waiting far too long Waiting to hear your sound You're not coming down You're not coming down Madeline what have you done I know you hurt someone Did you follow them to the ground I'm coming down I'm coming down Aimlessly true Flesh of mankind White knuckle it through My baby, mine Try for me, try Shamelessly true Flesh of mankind White knuckle it through My baby, mine Cry for me, cry Standing still Skipping stones Water falls where it goes Little lies, lies grow to fast Reaching hands To the glass Standing still Skipping stones Water falls where it goes Little lies, lies grow to fast Reaching hands To the glass Standing still Skipping stones Water falls where it goes Little lies, lies grow to fast Reaching hands To the glass

Another Day 05:39
Another day where I have left off things for another time Seems like it's always in the future that my stars align Presently my patience wavers on the flows of fate Crashing up on the shoreline to find out what will stay With each repeat more remains in place A foundation for us to embrace This hunger, never satisfied Extend that lack of appetite No rest when nothing's meant to be Reasons for going out to sea And land to make a hallowed ground Following all around Another day where I have not caught signs of sprouting thoughts Whenever will those windows open up without rain or fog Clouding out my view of what is true and what's right for me Every way I take, it shines a light by which I see A place where I am not alone A house where I can call it home A garden, oasis in trees Cured of my fatalist disease Knowing those forces from within Wake up when the dreaming begins Save myself for another day A better life that's on its way I can't be falling if I'm never up Find a way to call it sure enough That motivation to go ahead Courage to say what needs to be said Everything else just falls into place Give me the breeze and sunlight on my face Someone beside me but I can't say who Check the list of what they have to do And I'm trying to get there too I'm not just resting on a prayer Nor counting on what I prepare Forward is somewhere in between The vision and the unforeseen I won't mistake my hope for a fact Or failure for my final act Train myself for another day A better life that's on its way

Staring out at the watercolor light Master of the tides rising up at night Calling out for a turn in the air What the water won't provide Searching space to find Heart firmly in hand Lines drawn in the sand Fading Once more in your skin Yielding worries to beauty all around Want for what abounds Waves may break the border through Of the senses and the mind Fate and choice in kind Lead to open sky What else can I say You haven't heard before What else can I be You taught me so well Go my own way How can I get through The words they have no meaning Fleeting in your ebb and flow Take a part of me A final offering When there's no more, more time What else can I say You haven't heard before What else can I be You taught me so well Go my own way How can I get through The words they have no meaning Fleeting in your ebb and flow Take a part of me A final offering When there's no more, more time Many trips around the sun A new way of life has begun The people have become much more Than strangers to the stars Heaven has opened its sails Currents to lead where it fails You're out there without any code To carry you home But you're not alone You are what I was And now that you're gone Taking with you All that I am Memories of the age when Golden shores were there to find After leaving I saw How far away we turn to Pale blue And what we leave behind What else can I say The story has been told Drifting million miles away How can I get through We've reached the other side Of the circle I see it now There has to be a way To that last beyond On our own On our own Each step that we take Brings us closer

about

Every Moment All at Once is about the threads of connection people have with each other, and how all of these threads come together to form the sum of one's identity. We wanted to explore how, through the relationships in our lives, we discover different facets of ourselves; some that we love, and some that are hard to grapple with that we wish to change.
