Old skin
00:35
|
|||
When the shadow comes in the day time, to rest upon the earth's old skin.
When the sun cries like a fallen sky, for another world to begin.
Seasons of your dreams come easy.
Seasons of your dreams come easy.

Where the wild people go
03:57
|
|||
There was nothing we couldn’t do
Untethered from the earth.
The crowning horizon lives through the gloom
and the ghost dances in white plumes.
Unclench your fist from around your heart
We don’t have to part, we don’t have to part
See me through the mist, you’re my light in the darkness
Walk me through the woods and hear the lark sing
Go light, into the dark night
I’ll pray for the day the stars will make us collide
I’ll see you friend
We know it’s not the end
I’m on the road that leads me home
To where the wild people go
Anchored by the heart, We are growing twice as fast
As we nurture our promises
But turn the other way
Touched by a morning star
We have come so far But we throw our ashes into the air
To keep our minds at bay
Oh we are not done and dusted when the lights go out for good
Would you let me reach inside you and find your will to look
When your thoughts are wild and clustered and you feel misunderstood
Ride your cavalry into the sunrise
Meet me by the brook.
And Go light, into the dark night
I’ll pray for the day the stars will make us collide
I’ll see you friend
We know it’s not the end
I’m on the road that leads me home
To where the wild people go

Dreamer
05:20
|

I am a dreamer in the day time I shed my skin at dusk
I've been craving your affection
I am hungry for your touch
I've been getting to know myself some,
but now that's not enough
Could we wash away the stains we run from
could we be enough
I left my lover in the dust you watched me disappear
Could I have been better I've grown so much in myself since last year
And when I close my eyelids
you're never hard to find
You have been occupying my mind
for some time
And I will take you to a place you've never been before
Where I went to find where the beauty lies
when we closed the door
climb up to the tree tops I'll see you there
you're the one I've been looking for
Don't carry my heart I will carry my own
I don't need you anymore
but I want you
I want to remember how to touch you, how our bodies meet as one
Sunken silhouettes in the firelight
Soaked in the rays of the sun
I love how serious is your smile
How rough your fingertips
Your gaze when you surrender to different thoughts just like they really exist
Could we be enough
Could we really exist
Could we be enough
Could we really exist.

Blow away
03:45
|
|||
There are thorns on the bed of roses where you lay me down, I let you tear me apart, now our love is on the ground,
would you take back those words, I only needed time, never had a doubt, but we didn't need to blame and we didn't need to shout.
Now it's time, I'm coming out of the shadow of myself, I'm not asking you to wait around, just remember what we left, and like raindrops on the water, touch my heart inside my chest, because my courage and my strong, have let me down, once again ...
once again
And there's a man in the mirror who is calling on you, to look a little closer and you too will see its true; we are drowning our mountains with our insecurities, what if we go with the weather and we blow away, with the breeze.
Water turns to ice, inside this prison cell, as it runs again and again from the frosty winter shell,
I would run right back to you, if I thought it could end well, but we can't un speak the spoken and now only time will tell,
as I sit here in the silence in the garden of my mind, I watch our lives unravel, once so bound and intertwined, Oh what a fate for one who chose to speak her mind, now our hearts, are blind.
And there's a man in the mirror who is calling on you to look a little closer and you too will see its true; we are drowning our mountains with our insecurities, what if we go with the weather and we blow away, with the breeze.
what if we go with the weather and we blow away, with the breeze.

Sleeping Giants
02:29
|
|||
We live in a land where the sky is vast, sleep the giants and the days don't last, before w see the setting sun, we wait or the right moment to run.
Furiously we dive to the depths of ashes and smoke and quiet regrets, he python ticker awakes the light, we don't even put up a fight.
Sleeping Giant, tell me, what is your secret, to satisfaction of something beautiful?
My mother passed on to me her fear, in the eyes of my father it's still unclear, why I chose this road to keep so I am not standing on the ground where he weeps.
And as I sit quietly in the shadow, building strength, the wind it blows, I'm guaranteed to blow away, before I leave, I just wanted to say.
Sleeping Giant, tell me, what is your secret, to satisfaction of something beautiful?

If you could
02:54
|
|||
If you could would you unburn the boat that took our love to safe ground or did you find a way when I'm not around.
See I've been listening to the silence and through it all, I heard the sirens calling on me to find my own two feet in the life I choose to lead.
And I would be lying if I say "I don't think of you when the day is blue"
Maybe if I didn't give all of me to you, I would be someone, to give myself to
If I could I would blow upon the clouds that have been hiding your sun and you'd remember where to run to.
You would unclench you fists and lend me your ear as I break out into this wild world to befriend my fear.
And I would be lying if I said "I don't think of you when the day is blue"
Maybe if I didn't give all of me to you,
I would be someone I could give myself to.
Stay in touch when you're out of reach
live life a lot, meet the people you meet
stay in touch when you're out of reach
I'll be seeing you again
I'll be seeing you again
If you could would you un burn the boat that took our love to safe ground or did you find a way when I'm not around.

Some place inside
02:38
|
|||
I didn't have to go very far to find you down there lying in your vessel
and I can see the stars in my mind as you said your goodbyes to the devil
and I found you lying in the darkness, covered in ashes of springs ebb and flow
you were timeless as you spread out your branches into the ether where no one ever goes
I found you lying with the skin on your back
when your cracks began to show through your seams
and I couldn't help but smile because I told you all the while
that nothing is ever as it seems
and our souls were soaring from our bodies
lying naked on the ground
there were voices in my head but no words were being said
so I learnt to listen
to the faintest sound
and I would like to know
where we go
when we close our eyes
are you waiting on a ride
why this waiting all the time
there is always some place inside you can go

This island
03:22
|
|||
The icy water choked my bones as she said "you never used to be so alone"
I say, "I'm learning to feed my soul with the silence, you and I were once on this island"
Tell me is it OK, to be so far away from the hands that hold on so tight,
to the fabricated madness, I would gladly slip away, into the sand, into the sand.
I stumble in the morning on a bird in my head, it sings sweet memories, that I cannot shed.
If you lay under my skin tonight, you would feel the void, I feel the void.
Tell me is it OK, to be so far away from the hands that hold on so tight,
to the fabricated madness, I would gladly slip away, into the sand, into the sand.

Tell me is it okay, to be so far away from the hands that hold on so tight
to this fabricated madness, I would gladly slip away, into the sand, into the sand
Is it okay to long for the day when the sun gazes through the misty veil.

Let in the light
04:09
|
|||
We're shooting dreams into the dark with our shaky little hearts and our numbers fall to the ground.
We could run or we could yearn for the things we never learned, all the roads we never turned down.
We're on our hand and knees at the surface of the strange.
We lay our roses out, shed our tears, shed our doubt and we walk on.
Open the blind and let in the light, if you don't like what you find then its probably right. The pain will subside, I'll be back before long, when I'm gone, Oh baby will you walk on.
We're shooting dreams into the dark, something so beautiful to part from, yet we are hunted by our hearts and it awakes the light.
Our bones our lying at the door, our hearts are beating, poured out on the floor, and I can barely move at all, try as I might.
Our reason echoes in our sleep and memories of you will taste so sweet, when I dive into the deep end and I close my eyes.
Open the blinds and let in the light, if you don't like what you find then its probably right. The pain will subside, I'll be back before long, when I'm gone, Oh baby will you walk on.
Open the blinds and let in the light, if you don't like what you find then its probably right.

Her hand
02:24
|
|||
Oh so young inside her hand,
we've a thousand ways to go to grow old.
And the world we build will sink back beneath the sand and our bodies will unfold
The lines laid out beneath the sky
I always believed that I'd be with you when I died.
But blessed are we to have walked the walk as one,
now our little lives shrink beneath the sun.
Is the end so near we've only just begun.
and would you hear me now if you knew I had to run
because the path wasn't paved by you or I, nor anyone
I guess I'll see you there, if I'm headed home
Walk me to the edge and I will fall
Then I'll learn to fly and realize, you didn't teach me all I know,
I made my own way to you
I feel stronger when I think of how small we are.
Coiled inside the vessel of the earth,
turning in cycles, every day rebirth.
You're a thousand miles away, my sun is bright, you sleep at night
I'm sending love, for what it's worth.

Young child
02:19
|

One step behind you, the other in the sky, but you still find yourself wondering why you're not flying.
so you take a little time, to enjoy the sun rise because that's where you were headed all along.
Oh young child in the mirror of my eye, do you still see the world through the colors of the sky.
High in the tree tops, you never feared a lot, you knew where you were headed all along.

Ocean of my mind
03:49
|
|||
I've been living on an island in the ocean of my mind, and I've come to find that through the silence I've learned to listen to the holes in my inside.
I silenced my sails when I met you, oh why I didn’t have to, what was I thinking, I was sinking when your ship it turned me around
Then there’s that girl who stands before me with that look in her eyes,
As if to say “fool, did you think you could ignore me, now look how your boat has capsized.”
Go be strong as a mountain,
Move with the skies
Go, go with the river,
Never say goodbye
Then you took my hand and showed me the land you were from,
And it wasn’t long before I felt the warmth of your embrace.
So we ran and we ran on this road as one,
We climbed every mountain we came upon, ‘till I found I lost myself
But my memory was filled with you
And then there’s that girl who stands before me with that look in her eyes,
As if to say “fool, did you think you could ignore me, now look how your boat has capsized.”
Go be strong as a mountain,
Move with the skies
Go, go with the river,
Never say goodbye
