1. Wildflowers
here it is again
chance to lose or gain
but why do i pretend
it doesn’t mean a thing?
i feel i feel the worst
a blessing as a curse
that you would make me wonder
when to take your hand
and tell me your tears
came from nothing but a tragedy
i can’t cry for years
wishing i said you were more to me
if i blur the lines
colors meld in due time
told you everything…
2. Cymbaline
feel the feel
the incomplete
a spinning wheel
that’s on it’s teeter-toter teeter tot repeat
i’m not alone, not alone
when we betray your honor
i look away, looking like
we ought to slaughter
i damned my life, in thoughtless strife
like time was real
i hit the ground, i flounder around
need to steer the -
uneasy street
not what we teach
the life we strive
borders we should not breech but keep on reaching
i’m not alone, not alone
when we betray your honor
i look away, looking like
we ought to slaughter
i damned my life, in thoughtless strife
like time was real
i hit the ground, i flounder around
need to steer the -
she measures her steps
slowly on the ground
where everything must rise from
may take you by surprise
the pretty little motion
a petty thoughtful notion
redemption in disguise
in where our people lie
i seal my seal
will not retreat
a spinning wheel
that’s on it’s teeter-toter teeter tot repeat
i’m not alone, not alone
when we betray your honor
i look away, looking like
we ought to slaughter
i damned my life, in thoughtless strife
like time was real
i hit the ground, i flounder around
need to steer the -
3. Blind
riding through this ghost town
quiet lights as they go by
i am speaking my confessions
the only one who sees me
all the things that bring me scars
you are gripping at my soul
images i see
in my mind
destroy and clasp on me
never look the same in
real life
can’t see you anymore… i’m blind
i am screaming my obsessions
living life within my lies
reserved for my sake alone
even she cannot save me
no way they ever had a chance
something ripping out my soul
4. Oscillation
come tomorrow i’ll be free
what has gotten hold of me?
i’ve been fighting for so long
i cannot speak
i sing
to break the silence
break the silence
bring it home with me
yesterday has come and gone
sing your teenage vict’ry song
what is wrong (what is wrong?)
the future’s bleak
my life at 40 thousand feet
patchy clouds are gaining speed
gathering they’re about to weep
i feel weak
5. Eighty-five
i feel i’ve lost control
it’s time to/you let it go
i’ve headed down this road
relieves the soul i’m told
headed out to see you
face again
eighty-five and weaving
round the bends
all alone
with pride i won’t be scared
so blind and unprepared
don’t ask, i’m not let down
that Truth has been around
6. Whisper
tell me more
i’m not sure
all is Yours
where’s Your door?
what’s left of You?
what’s here to do?
but live in truth
and i –
will notice who…
You’ve given more than
i could ask You for
i’ve realized that
here we’re more than life
fight the war
to cleanse Your sores
with a roar
knees hit the floor
7. Never Big
never big
never big as you think
but you feel like it’s falling apart
never know
never know what it means
consume the world exactly as it seems
“you lecture me to death
i’m not seeing anything”
sit alone
sit alone on your roost
allowing life to pass you by
all along
all you needed to see
life is what will make you fly
“you lecture me to death
i’m not doing anything”
the indifference of good humans
you stand in awe like a caveman in a storm
don’t let the world happen to you
don’t drown now
watch the world
watch it held by the seams
thinner than child’s fishing line
you look away
look away but it seems
it won’t get you very far
“you lecture me to death
a terrifying dream”
stand alone
your game of solitude
play a hand and choose a side
owing more
owing more than you chew
when you finally find your life
“you lecture me to death
you’ve said everything”
the indifference of good humans
you stand in awe like a caveman in a storm
don’t let the world happen to you
don’t drown now, don’t drown now
definitely been down this street more than twice
eating myself hungry again
the insect that got lost inside the toilet bowl
is screaming out again
8. Persephone
summer’s home
when i sleep alone
dream alone
the world in bloom
living evergreen
evergreen
i wished you well
well you come around
it’s the sound of
a mon you mental
sing along, sung along the way
poked around forgotten thoughts astray
remember when you turned to me and said:
“your faithfulness is dead?”
your faithfulness is dead
winters cold
made me think of you
your heart, too
when you’re on the town
smiles make a frown
hear you sound
i wished you well
well you don’t come around
come around
now will Ted flower?
sing along, sung along the way
poked around forgotten thoughts astray
remember when you turned to me and said:
“your faithfulness is dead?”
your faithfulness is dead
