Alaska
05:01
|
|||
I took a boat through Glacier Bay
I was afraid to go alone
I wandered onto the ledge
Hoping you’d be there to watch me fall
That iceberg looked so close
You know how things are farther than they seem
I had to reach for my coat
Alaska was cold
Not as cold as you
You should feel right at home
There, on your frozen throne
Blood is trudging through your veins
Your body numb to any pain
Indifference is your friend
He tells you in the end it’s just a game
I don’t know how you got that way
Alaska was cold
Not as cold as you

Nobody
03:45
|
|||
Nobody wants to slip away
Nobody tries to fade away
Nobody holds nobody all the way
Nobody wants to slip away
You won’t know what it’s like until it gets inside of you
The ease of the disease is a lullaby to you
Nobody holds nobody’s lies away
You won’t know what it’s like until it takes the pride of you

Deeper

In my dream last night
We were astronauts
Floating round the earth
Far away from pain
Then we fell so fast
To the ocean waves
And we broke in two
In our world again
There’s no going back
Deeper
Deeper
My new fantasy
Is for you and me
To steal away
To some deserted place
You would build a fire
Cover my small frame
From the howling wolves
From the wind and rain
But there’s no going back
Deeper (If you need me I will find you)
Deeper (If you give me all you have)
Deeper (If you love me I will hurt you)
Deeper
A burden of steel is a comforting wheel
But there’s no going back
Deeper

You Should See Me Now
01:22
|
|||
Off the cliff I go
You should see me now
High above the earth
You should see me
(Off the cliff I go)
You should see me now
This is not enough
You should see me
(Off the cliff I go)
You should see me now
Heavy to the dirt
Do you see me

2000 Feet
05:40
|

I’ve been thinking about all the things I’ve done
And yes, I’m not the only one
But I’m the only one I know so well
I can’t know what it’s like to hear the dragons in your mind
To feel the whispers on your skin
The wind is not the wind
Unless you feel it
This is the best that I can do
I give it willingly to you
This is the best that I can do
Sometimes we hold each other
Sometimes we hold each other down
Honey we should live together
2000 feet off the ground
I’ve been meditating for an hour every day
But I can’t say if I’m improving
Or if I’m just using it to drift away
And I don’t know where it came from,
But a vision filled my head
Of everything as one thing
And I felt no separation in this bed
This is the best that I can do
I give it willingly to you
This is the best that I can do
Sometimes we hold each other
Sometimes we hold each other down
Honey we should live together
2000 feet off the ground

There to Here
03:33
|
|||
You’ve been away
800 days
But at night I sleep just fine
Far away, alone, I comb the earth
Your tree gives birth to 6000 birds
When you’re away
I’m alright cause I can feel you near
When you’re away
I glide on waves from there to here
We close our eyes
We breathe in time
And we heed the hallowed bell
The monks are chanting, secret messengers
The children whisper tethers unheard
When you’re away
I’m alright cause I can feel you near
When you’re away
I glide on waves from there to here

Wake Up
03:37
|
|||
Put a frame around you
And you become pure poetry
Radiant frailties
I find so graceful
Your color is deep
There’s nothing pale about you
Wake up, wake up
Look around you now
I’m here and I see you
Wake up, wake up
I wanna shake you sometimes
Sometimes I can barely hold
This blistering regret I feel
But I’d rather have a broken heart
Than a cold one
Some people don’t wanna stare
At imperfections and mistakes
Wake up, wake up
Look around you now
I’m here and I see you
Wake up, wake up
I wanna shake you sometimes

Cold floor
Warm arms
Hovering, swaying
Break open, spill out
Safe
Safe
I want my...
Warehouse
Warm car
Dying, swaying
Summer, winter
Break open, spill out
Break open, spill out
Safe
Safe
I want my...
Safe
Safe

Once More
04:08
|
|||
It’s never enough
Never too much
All that I can say
Is that I must have your love
Under the moon
Safe in our room
I can’t turn away
Bright as the stars and you are
More than a dream
I need to be with you
Once more
Steady and sure
Sacred and pure
Every moment here
I am alive
By your side
There’s nothing to fear
When I can hear your voice
Once more
Once more before the night is gone
Let me look into your eyes
Once more

How This Ends
04:30
|

And if you wanted to save me
You should have saved me
And if you wanted to fly
You could have
And when I wanted to blame you
I couldn’t
You know how this ends
And if you wanted to save me
You could have saved me
And when you wanted to fly
You could have
You know how this ends

Mayflies
04:47
|
|||
They touch down
Just before I sleep
Threading through
Tunnels of despair
Piercings of grief
All around my head they roam
So many mayflies hold on
Hold on
Oh, Silence
Make these spaces home
Burrowing in
Until light bleeds
All around my head they roam
So many mayflies hold on
Hold on
All around my head they roam
So many mayflies hold on
Hold on
I’m afraid of the dark
I’m afraid
All around my head they roam
So many mayflies hold on
Hold on

Blue
05:24
|

A blue moon, do you see it?
Are you crying underneath it, like me?
Lying in the embers and smoke
Are you choking, like me?
I’m tracing your features in starlight
Can I hide myself in your heart?
If I lose myself in the dark
Will you search for me?
Blue
Sweetheart, are you frightened
Afraid to watch me fade into black
Hoping for a bellwether change
Are you waiting for me?
I swear I won’t stay here forever
But I might not be home soon
When the moon yields to the sun
I will run to you
Blue
If I could brush away this mourning dust, I would, I would
If I could forsake this misery, you know that I would, I would
Blue
