Red Light

i don't recall you ever in my thoughts
passing through a dark room without notice maybe once but i forgot
then i saw you in the daylight
you have got some beautiful blue eyes
catch me at a red light soaking up sunshine
small talk conversations about nothing at all
a built in filtration of our thoughts so we can stay behind these walls
then i started to notice the way you seem to be pulling me in
now you can catch me at a red light falling to pieces

Thoughts of Love
03:12
|
|||
|
hiding in the light of my life
cause the shadows were lonely
somewhere between where i was and where i’m going
but i have lost my way
see, i am anchored in my own delusion
i’ve been watching the light fade away
and i know it’s just my imagination out to get me again
making me feel like it’s the end of the world
where do i begin to change my mind
to rewire to admire
how do i let in the thoughts of love that i’ve kept waiting
knocking at my door
how do i give myself more
i put my worth into another’s hands and that’s when i started to believe that i am not enough
somewhere between a man’s image of my body and my own perception waning
where do i begin to change my mind
to rewire to admire
how do i let in the thoughts of love that i’ve kept waiting
knocking at my door
how do i give myself more

i’ve dreamt of the day
when you finally fade away
and i’ll have not crossed a line
of nostalgia yet to be defined
and as the trees melt under the blanketed sky
the leaves dealt with its branch’s solemn sigh
that i now mirror in your thought
and in my head your memory circles
around
and round
and round
again
you’ve lapped my sense of reasoning
you’ve left it in the dust
left me out to rust
held me just for lust
and for what
i’ve spent so much time
folding photos, spinning dimes
patiently waiting for someone to say
you are the day, my day
but in my head your memory circles
around
and round
and round
again
you’ve lapped my sense of reasoning
you’ve left it in the dust
left me out to rust
held me just for lust
and for what

Pockets

i’ve lost my head from the clouds as i’m older
these days it’s now stuck to my body
when i was small i didn’t know the protocol
i didn’t know that i would be so cynical
but i don’t make the rules
when you grow up you become a fool
get me out of tomorrow
let me let go of yesterday
bring me back to what i know is real
what i know will help me heal
there was a time when i didn’t have to force it and i bathed in the sun from my own pockets
then love for cold and suddenly conditional
and ever since i tried to be invincible
but i can’t play that game
wish i could take back every bit of shame
get me out of tomorrow
let me let go of yesterday
bring me back to what i know is real
what i know will help me heal

Better Judgment
02:22
|
|||
|
my lips are chapped from dehydration
my body aches from low nutrition
skipped breakfast again
gave power to the bin
and ignored my better judgement
i envy those of perfect diction
i’m growing old from my addiction
to comparison
of women and men
and i ignored my better judgement again
my face is changing right before me
looked in the mirror too long this morning
be good for your friends
don’t let ‘em see in
and ignore your better judgement
lay in your bed and fall to fiction
wade in your head with no conviction of love for your sins
forgiveness depends
on obeying better judgement

Walkdown Song

oh i know what i feel ain’t good for me some times but this here feels alright
and i know that i am prone to messiness but i hope that you’ll kiss me tonight
gentle in a way that i can see there is pain
beauty in a way when you’re talking it’s never in vein
i don’t know how it made me bow but you’ve got it right some how
maybe i can do it over again
i hope you’ll think about it
was that something or should i doubt it
stay, i hope you’ll stay for a while babe
stay smiling babe
smiling with that dimple on your face
it may be that you do this all the time or maybe you’re really just that kind
oh but me, silly me
i’m not the type to smile so sweetly but i guess I’m just blind
i didn’t wanna feel your heart but i’ve made it this far
you don’t even know that i’ve reopened a scar
you’ve got a comforting way of making me feel okay
but I can’t tell if that is me behind your gaze
i hope you’ll think about it
was that something or should i doubt it
stay, i hope you’ll stay for a while babe
stay smiling babe
smiling with your hair over your eyes
almost made take down my disguise
smiling with that dimple on your face

Good Things Always End
03:03
|
|||
|
i heard somebody playin a tune
and it flowed throughout the room
from their lungs, a breath, a river of gold
it was warm but it made me feel cold
it reminded me of the days when you’d play for me
when we’d be laughing together and talking about harmony
weird to think one day you’ll be an old memory
i think that day is today
strange to know our time was so temporary
cause i never wished it away
and i’m reminded no one can stay
not for comfort, not for pleasure or praise
and so if nothings forever
i’ll let the changing begin
even good things always end
good things, all good things
they all come to an end
(good things always end)
good things, all good things
good things always end
(good things always end)

Dreamer and the Dream
03:53
|
|||
|
something about the way that it feels when you don’t know what you feel
with you on a drive
staring at the sky
walking on your own
on a sidewalk made of stone
when you just get that ole feeling
that feeling without a name
something about living without you is hell
i miss your spell
he is the dreamer and he is the dream
he is the water, the river, the ocean, and love is a stream
i want him nearer, closer to me
i want my dreamer to be dreaming right next to me

Glow

i feel as though i feel too much
i feel too much
then not enough i do
i’m afraid that if i follow through
i’ll use you then i’ll lose myself too
and my eyes gloss over as i think of what could be
and i hold back these tears cause you’ve already made such a fool of me now
and i feel myself falling
oh i’m falling quite fast
i'm so terrified what i want so much won’t last
and i find it really hard to let this show
cause i’m having a hard time letting myself go
but you make me glow
and i feel as though you feel too much
you feel too much then not enough
you do
you’re afraid i won’t reciprocate the things you wanna say
but i don’t think you realize i'd like to stay
and my eyes gloss over as i think of what could be
and i hold back these tears cause you’ve already made such a fool of me now
and i feel myself falling
oh i’m falling quite fast
i'm so terrified what i want so much won’t last
and i find it really hard to let this show
cause i’m having a hard time letting myself go
i’m sorry if i get swept away in my solitude
but i promise it will never be because of you
and i feel as though i feel too much
i feel too much then not enough
but made not with you

I Forgive You
06:05
|
|||
|
there’s no anger just confusion
a lot of fear and some delusion
to say it short, i do, i miss you
don’t you worry
i forgive you
i try not to hold on too tight
i hope not to wake up in the night
i’ve been worried, you’re not sleeping
i’ve been looking for you
what have you been keeping
i wish i could understand your reasons
and get back time, the will, the seasons
that’s not the man i always knew
but don’t you worry
i forgive you
i try not to hold on too tight
i hope not to wake up in the night
because you’ll be gone you won’t be sleeping
and i’ve been looking for you
where the hell have you been
some years have passed and i have found you
i hope you know that i am proud of you
now that you've changed your point of view
don't you worry
i forgive you
