Nothing to lose
I press my palms in prayer
Let my words become a wish
Now lost to the air
Nothing to lose
I press my palms in prayer
Let my words become a wish
Now lost to the air
Take flight
Be carried by the wind
Find me something inside
The fantasies of others
My dreams
Are muted shades of green
Undone at the seams
There is nothing to recover
Nothing to
To lose
Nothing to
To lose
Nothing to
To lose
Nothing to lose
I touch my lips to earth
Let her hear my simple song
Now lost to the earth
Nothing to lose I find a seed
Only a flower yet to be
Give it away
I'll give it away
To the breeze
Take flight
Be carried by the wind
Find me something inside
The fantasies of others
My dreams
Are muted shades of green
Undone at the seams
There is nothing to recover

Apparition
03:06
|
|||
Over the water
Visions like skipping rocks
Rippling across the shore
Tides are low
This time of day
But I see you there
An apparition in a storm
Calling out your name
A gust of wind
Knocks me down
How'd I know
Who you are?
Disappear
Like summer rain
But I'm left alone
Still wondering
If you're far away
From here
Over the water
I call out your name
Pass the time
Three moons
They cycle through
Fall and rise
Days go by
Nothing but whispering leaves
Hollowed out like pliant sand
But I have this hunch
Inside my gut
That I will see you again

Pomegranate
03:17
|

Understanding
Breeds resentment
Fertile ground
For doing wrong
Stand before you
Hand outstretched
A pomegranate seed
That you don't want
Don't want
Feeling foolish
And embarrassed
Open me up
Like a wound
Knowledge is a
Fleeting promise
And a deeper well
To fall into
Into
To your call I come
Isn't it enough
To guide me
Guide us both?
To your call I come
Isn't it enough
To guide me
Guide us both?
Pour this water
Onto dry earth
Cracked and ready
To be sowed
When I dig
A garden for you
Left with nothing green
To call my own
My own
Try my best
I'm doing my best
To move mountains
From your path
Could not guess
Your every step
I'm crushed
Under your feet
A blade of grass
|
||||
5. |
||||
Begging in the silence
Don't know where my mind is
Can't move my mouth
A tightness in my chest
And I'm feeling out of breath
Can you hear me out?
There's a lump in my throat
And got a tremor in both hands
I'm thinking only the worst thoughts now
Gonna open up and focus
Know my only hope
Is to make a sound
Who am I if I'm without a voice?
Buried alone
Underneath a world of noise
Nothing to call out
Heaven has fallen to hell
Nothing to call out
No prayer will break this spell
Nothing to call out
Heaven has fallen to hell
Nothing to call out
No prayer will break this spell
Nothing to call
Sailor to a siren
What I'd give to dive in
And sing this hymn
I come across a wind
That flows up to my lips
And I let the air in
Who am I if I'm without a voice?
Buried alone
Underneath a world of noise
Nothing to call out
Heaven has fallen to hell
Nothing to call out
No prayer will break this spell
Nothing to call out
Heaven has fallen to hell
Nothing to call out
No prayer will break this spell
Nothing to call out
No way to call out
Nothing to call out
No prayer will break this spell
Nothing to call

Is this everything
You thought you had to risk?
Couldn't waste another
Day like this
From a mountaintop you jump
You're flying high
When the sun melts your wings
Do you die?
Fall way too far
From the coastline
Passing ships sailing
Keep sailing right on by
Stroke of midnight
When we take another swim
Choppy waters
Losing sight of him
Tread forever
His hand pulls me to shore
When the sun dries our skin
He will mourn
Fall way too far
From the coastline
Passing ships sailing
Keep sailing right on by
Stuck on an island
Or caught in the deep
We'll make these tides turn for us
When there's a storm
I'll keep you in reach
We'll tame the sea
|

Carry me over the edge
Taking me out of eternity
Throwing me out to the sea
Where the waters are calm
And you're there with me
Ankle caught on a vine
Sinking into the earth
I shout out
And you're the only one
Who could know the sound
Of my mouth
Know the sound
Through the loudness
Know the sound
Keep folding in
Don't keep folding in
Don't keep folding in
Keep
Swallow me into a cup
Nothing exists
But the thought of love
Loosening up like a string
Too sharp
Being tuned by a careful thumb
No looking back
I found what I've been seeking
To hear myself
Within reflections of your call
Keep folding in
Don't keep folding in
Don't keep folding in
Keep
Of my mouth
Know the sound
Through the loudness
Know the sound
Pushing me out of the dark
You are my shadow
When under the sun
An equal force
There all along
There's no more need to run

Geyser
02:28
|
|||
I am afraid of
What's dormant inside
Destruction is greater
When fears choose to hide
I'm holding my breath
Like a geyser in sleep
A wolf wearing sheep's clothes
The monster they see
I am afraid of
What's calling me close
Connection's a killer
I can't let him know
I'm holding my breath
Like a geyser in sleep
The monster he'll see
|

My Sun
02:12
|
|||
Watching the room
Fill up with sun
Oh how I've learned to love
Her gentle entrance
When I used to run
Cower and hide
Curse her demands
But she brings nuance to
The colors and the shapes
Across the land
She is closest
We have to magic
Aren't we so lucky
To have it?
Under her light
I'm prone to change
Seed to a flower
Keep only my name
|

My Stars
02:16
|
|||
I dream of one
Night for us all
And it would be never dawn
And she wouldn't
Transform in the green wood
To escape me
Like what they call the day
That what we (they?) call Apollo
Chased her into earth
Even I will be buried
In dry flakes of wood
And the day
And the day
And the day
And the day
Will insult me
Between a rot
Of tiny stars
But trust
But trust
But trust
But trust
Trust me
Here dawn will not
See the sun

Looped & Knotted
03:01
|
|||
From one end
To the other
Looped and knotted
Pulled apart
But not forgotten
Elastic
Stretching out
Across the fabric
Woven through
Woven through
A single thread
Is woven through
In trouble
Looking out
And seeing double
My reflection
In a puddle
Reach across
Meet a threshold
Made of flesh
Oh, someone's hand
I've always known
Someone's hand
From one end
To the other
Looped and knotted
Pulled apart
But not forgotten
Elastic
Stretching out
Across the fabric
Woven through
Woven through
A single thread
Is woven through

Mist
03:46
|
|||
Standing on the peak of land
Highest point that I can
Lookout, see all of earth
Know you're there
In the dirt
Hand outstretched
I'm doing my best
Doing my best
To find you
In this mess
To find you
Throwing caution to the wind
I come down to meet you in
The mist so thick
I can't see
Anything in front of me
Hand outstretched
I'm doing my best
Doing my best
To find you
In this mess
To find you
Enter the valley
With nothing but riddles
I search for the answers
I search for you
And I come to a clearing
And find there's a gate
Made of gold
Which you beckon me
To walk through
