From the Air

I've been fading into the thin air
Call my name and I'll disappear
Rolling thunder, rolling waves
Can't quite say that I'll be all right
They say you gotta want it, want it
I promise, promise you
I'd love to take you from here
I want to, want to believe
I'd love to take you from the air
I want you, won't you believe?

Beyond Words

I am on the outside in
You are frightened
And there's nowhere left to be
No one around
By design, there I will await the morning
It's all wrong now
Beyond words
I know that it's in my hands to do something
But it's hard to feel real when you're dreaming
There, I will still see your face
And god I've missed you
It's all wrong now
Beyond words
What do you want from me? What do you want from me?
What do you want from me? What do you want?
Oh, end me
You are always so far away from me here
In the blue of the night, I will find you
Silent as the snow fell on April roses
It's all wrong now
Beyond words

A Good Ten Years

There must be something to mumble for you
To get through to you the deepest truth
But I have nothing for you
No, I walk through you
In the dark
Blinded
Cold seasons hastened, worn image of you
Storm clouds move o'er the sun - I dare you would
I just want to feel the warmth of Summer rain
Without something getting in my own way
Well don't say nothing
But something
Sharp and real
Come crawling like you couldn't breathe in
I don't like the way that things are
I'm standing at the door, dazed and waiting looking out
I guess the mountains and sea I hear aren't too far away from here, alone
Remember when I whispered, "You're alive..."?
Now, come pull me under like I couldn't breathe in
A good ten years left, or so it feels
Strange lights and stars, a scar burning
This nightmare awake
Why do I still wonder where you are?
In the West below the low red moon
I wander over the hills
And it's heading straight for you all, too

A Moment
03:47
|

|
The air runs out of me, abandoning
But only for a moment
When nighttime finds, carries and buries me
Let me down
I know you will
I can't hold on to a single moment
The amber lights that flood and fill my eyes
Fall again, fall again, it feels so familiar
Where were you when I fell through the Earth?
You are everything
Close and fleeting me
In a while, I'll hear your voice softly speak my name
Your nights and days that I'll never see, never meet
All I wanted was to see you tomorrow
But I can't hold on to a single moment
The images that flash before my eyes
I'm tracing lines in the palms of your leaving hands
As the city burns in the midnight Winter
I can't hold on to a single moment
The headlights drip down the steel bitter streets
In the cold I feel you all around me
You turn and smile as the snow fell just for you
The air runs out of me, abandoning
But only for a moment

Two Lights
05:49

|
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, eyes follow
Wherever I go
Persistent echoes
Cease to decay
All of your fears rest under a starry field tree line
Figure pulls you in against its breast
Finger raised, hushed 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 fading
Pull me in
Two lights
Two lights
