Still Waiting
05:20
|

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

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

Knowing Silence
05:03
|
|||
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 Are There
04:42
|
|||
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

Voyager I & II
10:21
|
|||
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
