to feel it once or twice before
swallow the high tide
within the beating of the shore
the grey of the wayside
from the sea, I listen low
adrift my soul, over the waves that grow
from a life so long ago
taking comfort by the stones
wait for the morning rise
when in the beating of the shore
words appear in the sky
from the sea, my minds afloat
I try to row over the ocean floor
from the sea, I listen low
adrift my soul, over the waves that grow
from a life so long ago

Sly is the Devil

mean nothing whisper every word
feeling something cut through every turn
keep humming that’s not what you heard
patiently lift the curse
drawing lines that filter through your eyes
everyone’s a figure in disguise
they’ll hold you down to your demise
patiently lift the curse
but is it a virtue
it’s a lovely sound
from an ugly mouth
what goes around comes around
blind beggar, reap on what you’re worth
cause forced fate is not what you deserve
don’t you know that you cannot return?
sly devil, holds you by the hand
with intentions you don’t understand
his pension leads to nothingness
patiently lift the curse
but is it a virtue
it’s a lovely sound
from an ugly mouth
but you’re facing down
with a lonely frown
what goes around comes around

Spaces

I don’t know how you could find
me from the stars in the sky
just in time
searching the earth for a sign
when will the planets align
just in time
honestly, you could help me to unwind
if you saw the way that I saw you from my side
when the spaces fly
on a spaceless night
I don’t know how you could find
me from the dark in the light
just in time
trying to capture the sun
and find that I’ve only begun
just in time
honestly, you could help me to unwind
if you saw the way that I saw you from my side
when the spaces fly
on a spaceless night
when the spaces fly

Where Are You

I still know the way
but you get lost
keep toward pushin' it
and you'll keep pulling me
hold on, hold on
oh without love, oh love
where are you?
I could slip away
and just float on
in the light of day
won't you come?
hold on, hold on
without love, oh love
oh love where are you?
oh love, oh love
oh love, oh love,
where are you?
love, oh love
oh love, oh love
where are you?

so it goes
as I stay lying in bed
you arose
you may as well go ahead
no one knows
it's easy to forget me
play along
you know I'm smarter than that
see how wrong
I make you feel to come back
too afraid
to let my heart run free
better run
cause now the going is tough
I've become
a hidden rock in the rough
you have found
and now it's not so easy
so it goes
I'll do it over again
pass the time
till I can't feel anything
so afraid
to give my life up for love

don’t wanna be absurd
or say another word
don’t want to let you go
but my heart is in reverse
and it’s just another curse
that i haven’t lifted up
and it’s causing us to stir
but it isn’t so much worse
than what you lost
you move the chains and change the locks on me
don’t wanna be absurd
or say another word
but you have to let me know
but my heart is in reverse
and it’s just another curse
that i haven’t lifted up
and it’s causing us to stir
but it isn’t so much worse
than what you lost
you move the chains and change the locks on me

Morning Eden Mars
03:14
|
|

|
morning lies against the summer sky
eyes that turn to gold in firelight
watch you slowly rise before me
as you took my mind
to the answer of my life
skin of leaves had stained her lips of wine
it could be the last of me this time
feel you coming, iceburgs drumming
pushing for the line
to the answer of my life
I tried taking back my eyes
but you're holding them so tight
and somehow I am blind
but I felt you here inside
if I give into your world
will you take away the dark
through the silent words we move
to the burning of a star
amor vincit omnia
amor vincit omnia

Mind Control
02:50
|

stumble and rise
where will I find
my piece of mind
work to unwind
live to be fine
start to resign
it’s mind control
it’s mind control
don’t disagree
or you will see
how it will be
fail to be free
shot to the knees
killing the dream
it’s mind control
it’s mind control
mind control
it’s mind control
mind control

Your Majesty
03:55

Hail from below crowned by the glow
Carved on the throne, no one will know
(I will find you)
I wanna fall beneath the trees
I wanna fall together
Watch the sun unfold
Thread that spins to gold
Hail to the heir, crowned in the glare
Held in the heart for all that is fair
(I have found you)
Higher than ordinary life I want to hide
Trying to tell you where I am
Skies of diamonds shine
As we intertwine

Skeleton Key
03:29

wandering home somehow return
bare of your bones, what have you learned
thundering clouds, alive at night
dreaming aloud, drifting in rhyme
do you want to have a try?
we’ll take it as it goes
it’s everything, you know
nothing to fix, nothing to feel
lay in the bliss this is for real
picking the lock to what is free
lifting the fog, turning the key
do you want to have a try?
we’ll take it as it goes
it’s everything, you know
we’ll take it as it goes
it’s everything, you know
drifting in rhyme alive at night
answer to all you need to find
turning the key to what is free
answer to all you need to see
