Crystal

Bright is the light you lured me with first
It’s crystal now it can’t quench my thirst
Your thoughts, my thoughts, they interfere
with my heart, your heart,
So many tears
Drops of poison hit the floor
They are not like they were before
Crystal clear, a shallow weep
They're not supposed to hit the deep
Fear of all that was and goes
This dreadful thing is something that eats
at me since that one single day
So please tell me words that stay
Speak or I will fill in the blanks
It’s so surreal my hand in your hand
Your heart, my heart, we will betray
So please tell me words that stay
Your heart, my heart, we will betray
So please tell me words that stay

Whispers overseas drew us here
They’ve been taking up all our time
The longing was to hard to bear
It made us want to leave

The Drift

Bad comes with the good
You say I roam the earth
With great discontent
I can only nod to that
Truly I believe
a thing never just is
Nor will it stand alone
Bad comes with the good
I hope you catch my drift
It’s all clear
I hope you catch my drift
It’s all clear
Good comes with the bad
No bigger empathy
Head trip fantasy
I always had the ability
To drift off day
or night
To drift off day
or night

Retteb reh taert
Reh teaser t’nac!
As you draw near
All will grow brighter
More significant, more real
More festive
We, born under the sun
Need to get to close to where it began
Be kind, be kind
This side of structure
Never was lectured
Too much, too many
Fits only temporarily
We, born under the sun
Live with the moon before it’s done
We need to get close, see where it began
And be kind, be kind

Can I change you back, change it back
By all means go but don't forget
Or maybe we must to stay on track
Show me your nature and I'll immerse myself into
your shifting sands, I'll let it slide
Hold, hold, hold, hold me tight
I wish I could just turn it off
Or change the way I look at you
I fear my love
(hold, hold, hold, hold me tight)
You steal away
(hold, hold, hold, hold me tight)
Can I change you back, change it back
By all means go but don't forget
Don't let me
fear my love
You steal away
I fear my love
you steal away in quiet
We manipulate you as we please
We say that we don't but we do,
we do it all the
time.

Closer,
let me see
You rare unearthly thing
Eyes like pools of ink, palest of skin
I'm curious bout the dreams you keep within
You bring out the good in me
Don't be
scared love
I would not hurt a fly
Tell me all about your fantasies
Share with me your world, let me see
You bring out the good in me
I'll take good care
Find your way in at any cost
Then I'll stick with you
You won't get lost
You bring out the good in me
I'll take good care

I’d like a view inside your head
I’m losing grip
Isn’t that what it’s all about
That I lose track
Of everything that moves
Of everything nailed down
It’s what’s keeping me alive
But drives me away from you
Like the sky of Autumn time
You fear this thing about me
Irresolution never fades
It’s in the blood eating at me
It cuts me loose,
sets me adrift
To places off the beaten track
I hope that’s where we’ll meet again
Like the sky of Autumn time
You fear this thing about me
Irresolution never fades
It’s in the blood eating at me
Of everything that moves
Of everything nailed down
It’s what’s keeping me alive
But drives me away from you
Like the sky of Autumn time
You fear this thing about me
Ingenious but wayward soul
Since I remember lacking control
Like the sky of Autumn time
You fear this thing about me
Irresolution never fades
It’s in the blood

Nostalgia

Close your eyes
Tell me what you see
Close your eyes
Tell me what you see
Feel the sun
Feel it burn your skin
A gentle breeze
Blows away all sin
It takes me back
Mountains steep we used to climb
It takes me back
Mountains steep we used to climb
I lose myself in yesteryear
when timeless play
Controlled the fear
Dramatic, with a silver lining
Nostalgia helps refining my identity
It takes me back
Mountains steep we used to climb
It takes me back
Mountains steep we used to climb

Our care, our fight
Is not big enough
The gap between
our planet and the universe
The gap between is highly disturbing
We live for big dreams
But small worlds
Out of sight
Far from mind
From what we are
All particles defined as waste
Form something new, someone new in the end
And all of our sin and trouble
Will dissolve in space
Precious time
Take hold
Precious time
Take hold
One time
One time
All particles defined as waste
Form something new, someone new in the end
And all of our sin and trouble
Will dissolve in space

The Pond

You’ll find me in the garden
You’ll find me in the garden
When I’m gone, the pond…
He’s close to me in the garden
His voice comes back to me in the garden
When I’m gone, the pond...
And I gave it all little thought,
I gave it all little thought.
