until now there was a reason
let go of it
it's not relevant
and what now that we are over
what storm ahead
could we precipitate?
and what golden age is
gonna correct it?
and it stands to reason
are we connected?
until now I was another
what song to hear
when in another's head
and what now that we are over it
just storm ahead
don't ever hesitate
and what golden age is
gonna correct it?
and it stands to reason
are we connected?
crossed amongst the ones that exist
fakes among the flowers
could it have been more than this
fakes among the flowers
tend to always over prepare
too ready
too ready
let go of it
and get out of here
let's get out of here
for good

The Tide

you were playing
till there was no one
there's no room left at the bottom
and though I picture
a lake filled with nothing
there is someone at the bottom
are we on the brink of disaster
when the tide comes what will come after
we'll keep playing
till there is nothing
there'll be no room at the bottom
and though I picture a lake still and placid
there is someone at the bottom
are we on the brink of disaster
when the tide comes what will come after
is this the right time or should I wait for it?

is this too much for you to handle
it's all a bit precarious
and if it's not that you could answer a cold embrace
the light's diffused
always in the course of writing a letter
conflicted and caught up in the bubble
is this anything at all
reflections of the other
is this too much for you to handle
it's all a bit precarious
and if it's not that you could answer a cold embrace
the light's diffused
always in the course of writing a letter
conflicted and caught up in the bubble
surrendered us
suspension of the other
Is this too much for you?

your day in court
will this take hold?
Competition
Competition
is this your goal
my friend, my foe
Competition
Competition
can I protect it
would I have to be up on my language
though I'm leaning towards it
if I help you
is it helping me
I can't reject you though I'm turning from it
your direction's what I'm heading for
I'm on your heels yeah
waiting for the finish
disconnect it is what I'm calling for
I can't believe it
that I'm falling for it
if I let you go
could I forget you
and if I let you know
who I'm modeling after
and I guess you know by now
who I choose to go after
don't think you know me now
perfection protected
perfection reflected
if I let you go
could I forget you
if I let you know
who I'm modeling after
and I guess you know by now
who I choose to go after
don't think you know me now

Darkness
03:53
|

|
I can hear outside
The wind at my window
In case someone should arrive
Please show them reflections
Who could have been there
At least who was pretending
Darkness was overhead
Darkness was overhead
These are not my eyes
But I know how to close them
Erase all that I write in perfected endings
Who was it in there
Covered and protected
Darkness was overhead
Darkness was overhead

if I called on you to answer
well I should have known you'd guess
what I could of had but I could not fix
and so I relegate your promise
with irreverence I rest
like a memory I remember only in this
goodbyes and endings
pain
painfully dull and painless
pain
painfully dull and painless
can I be honest?
and if I cannot be still
would you be alone
would you care
could it be enough
if I learn how to turn it off
and so I gravitate to old words
with a syllable that sticks
what I didn't know but I should have guessed
and I'm still waiting on an answer
like a memory I remember
only in this
goodbyes and endings
pain
painfully dull and painless
pain
painfully dull and painless
can I be honest
and if I cannot be still
would you be alone
would you care
could it be enough
if I learn how to turn it off

is this still what you want
the moment to carry
is this still what you are
a memory of yourself
and though you looking out
could never be looking in
is this still where you are
no passage to find it
will this happen again
the cycle behind it
is this all that there is
the memory of itself
and though leaving you out
could never be what was meant
in this, all that you want
the moment to carry
is this all that you want
the moment to carry
could it still be the way you wish?
could it still be the way you wish?
and oh is that the way, the way that you want it still?

Bastard

I am not your little brother
I am not your son
You are not my older brother
I will call you one
I feel your need to recover
I'm no longer your bastard
How long will you need to recover
I'm no longer your bastard
I will follow you till its over
I will stick to one
I will gravitate to another
Follow anyone
I feel your need to recover
I'm no longer your bastard
How long will you need to recover
I'm no longer your bastard

Pattern/Shadow

Your shadow remains
I cannot resist
The mirrored escape
Of your pattern
The frame of it
I could not erase
I colored it in
With your pattern
Your shadow remains
Your shadow remains
I'm tied to it
With jealous pretense
I cannot predict
All your patterns
You blew us away
And I could not escape
I'll never give in
To your patterns
Your shadow remains
Your shadow remains
Your pattern
The shadow
Your pattern
The shadow
Rescinded the urge
Revealing an ocean
Rescinded the urge
Revealing an ocean
Your pattern
The shadow
