Bloom 03:00
lyrics
buy track
Tell her That you'll be there When the rain falls from her face Late today sprung distaste Writhe on nights cold stoned embrace You're in bloom Real and gone too soon For tombstone memory in white moon What do you feel in the dark? Rising through bare trees silvering Curling light In bloom In bloom Are you In bloom

In the Dark 05:10
lyrics
buy track
Stirring old portside in sea salt air Faces changing past Loose smiles collapse to frowns glare under streetlight flare Hurried last call for some On cobblestone strolling vagrant pairs Ghosts from yesteryear Empty souls promising to never pray again A weaker fernet grin Out stained windows, clouded glass lit eyes Fore street crowds, still lose Remembering times they once could fly Now they're breaking their fists on clouds I can't look at you right now Oh, she sends me in the dark Again and again and again Mirrored wall stare between pillars of blue I know how I will end it soon Worlds whirling shift around Don't look at scorned poor clown Mangled without a sound I grow tired like anyone else Morning light appears In Lincoln park, drunk talk and sleep it off Will I remember these nights, again? She sends me She sends me home Spinning, swimming Let me breathe Let me be Leave In dark black lake, wades with matching eyes In white she backs away Struggles to see I heard in soft speak tease "Swim to me, swim to me" In the dark

Two Lights (and a Candle) 05:16
lyrics
buy track
On the outside, starves in On the inside Where veins tend thin But in your eyes, my light escapes you Always halfway home Familiar eyes follow Wherever I go Persistent echoes Cease to decay All your fears rest, under starry field treeline Figure pulls you in against its breast Finger raise hush lips Smile fades Smile fades And in your eyes, my light escapes you Someplace silence begs to be heard Same eyes I fell into Where waves rolled in And in your eyes It's just a flash Smile fadin' Pull me in Two lights Two lights

False Peaks 05:22
lyrics
buy track
Be still Erode by the river At night only Can you feel it too? Leave home, skin and bone Dull flame snuffed out I told you I'll run to you at night Follow you through the night o The way she floats Stargaze through trees you confide You roam and you hide, but she knows "I'll get you in the end" Dies in the end Colored red eyes turn white Cars crash in time Bitter winds in the pine I'm not alright It's getting cold Can I call home to you tonight? Don't say it I'll leave you alone Fall for the moon Deep space voids between hung sparks Indifferent jeweled constellations Candles in caves where I clean When you say Goodbye Don't say... False peaks... Alone in your mind What a beautiful night

Slowly (Widow's Walk) 04:16
lyrics
buy track
Slowly From what I've seen She cuts like an angel Amoré, Irene A bright light, a future Slow dance Somewhere waiting for you I won't let you Walk away Angels above you Move away Slowly Into the pale light Your own escape Shadows move and throw on ceilings Moves just like you when you're alone I love your face When you kill me You're so fake When you thrill me I'm trying to love you Wind right through me Just before, I had watched you It's just in the way that she feels Someday it will find you And I will still be right here When you're alone You'll come here You said I will hurt you Someday In age, I'll forget you Some way Slowly ...slowly I will let you go

Screaming at the Moon 04:11
lyrics
buy track
The burning leaves fell like glass Seeing them rush to start their day You feed me the line that takes me nowhere And the rules of the damned go Whatever makes you happy If it makes your heart beat One of these days I'll crash my car Over tonight in the frozen lake Well show me your wings unfold A ruse on demand for control Whatever makes you happy If it makes your heart beat What ever makes the night so cold? What ever makes their night so cold? Would it go back the way it used to? Would she come back and run away with you? I've heard this before I know I wanted more than I'm dying for Do what you want but don't do it to me I'm free Anytime

3:33 a.m 04:40
lyrics

3:33 a.m, a home in my bed Don't be upset if you can't sleep Spiders descend their silky trapeze Something brings me to the edge There's always something fucking with my head Nails in weak barricaded door I can't wait for them to leave Walls stare worried closing in I'd rather be dreaming than acknowledge any sensation or feeling 3:33 a.m and shivering On black and white squared bathroom floor Blood washed from hands of porcelain Red curtains flowing in the breeze I need more than you can give Vile evil veiled - survive not live 3:33 a.m

New Day 03:21
lyrics
buy track
Lately I've been trying to find the will for a new day Suspicions run of what you do to me Let em go free He'll go where she goes My heart and colored clay flowers all in a box With love and memories The sun is warming curtains, don't fall asleep Or live in the memory When the sun goes down We can't fall asleep When the sun goes down We can't be here tomorrow So hold on Because tomorrow's a new day

Angeline 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Well I hate to see you go But I know that nothing lasts for free Angeline I know that you were born to run Time will tell you who's the one If I slipped off of the road Off the bridge and in the ravine Would you find me? Oh Angeline On the corner flicked between The cracks where streetlights never reach You will look for me between the gates But our eyes will never meet If you lost me in the crowd Would you even remember me? Would you find me? Angeline On my back in rivers flowing I'll wait for you 'til morning Come home soon Angeline Angeline Morning came and you weren't there Where you've gone I don't know where I don't know if you'll ever know Just what you really do to me I know you really have to go California welcomes you If you feel a cold wind blowin' Follow it right on back to me You know where to find me Oh Angeline

Airports 05:18
lyrics
buy track
Don't stop loving baby You never know when we could die Should it end here tomorrow When will I see you again? Please stop running baby When you're gone I could die Did I see the word "forever" In your last kiss goodbye? Goodbye Hold you close, you're leaving Memorize lines in your hands I'm guilty for thinking I love you Motionless breathing Say goodbye, you're leaving I can't watch you go Runaway lights are in your eyes When will I see you again? And you don't know "It might be a long time" You're so far away In your own mind the airports wait for you But I don't mind I will wait for you I will watch for you I will wait for you, I will wait for you

Falling 04:11
lyrics
buy track
Stand tall Or lose it all Slanted Take it for granted Do you feel like you could fall in the night? Haunted eyes fantasize A spring of starlight flowing in night sky Do you feel alive? Fog in night field Trees painted in black ink Against clouded moonlight And the ringing crickets sing... Do you feel like you could fall in the night? Would you jump if you could fly?
