Pleading

the scene falls down
machine mauls land
to open up
and let it go
the dying show
that needs to know
closing words
take a turn
forest birds
let them burn
and i'll shut this page
there's nothing i could have said
the bruises near your eyes
i was afraid you'd died
was it visionary
when you fell out of me
i'd hate to think of lies
cutting out those lives
just to stop and feed
on regret that bleeds
just wait there for a second
please don't run out of here
think of those who reckoned
that maybe it's not clear
you're taken for a day
return to earth and stay
is there another way?
is there another way...
we're always breathing when we stop at the bay
the sand runs through our fingertips it's lead astray
survival of the world we're living pushed to one side
it's hard to bear a smile when you're trying to hide

Delicate

a frozen war
fingertips are running down
windows melting - silence
suffer this internal drown
delicate in veins
struggling to leave pain
mortified, desensitised
feel it rise
an innocence of life
questioning those choices
after listening to voices
hesitant to take the time
to set myself straight in line
have you ever wondered
if you took it all from here
the sight below, too much to know
have you ever wondered
if it all looks so clear
the sight below, too much to know
a frozen war
fingertips are running down
windows melting - silence
suffer this internal drown
delicate in veins
struggling to leave pain
mortified, desensitised
feel it rise
an innocence of life

The Historian
04:01
|
|||
|
there are stories that have changed
texts that go beyond the sane
truth is struggling to bare
in what is written
the sadness of demise
inbetween of what now lies
future now begins to stare
in what i've written
hope
gains
fast
strain
i'm holding on to your words
lost
fame
last
pain
it takes a turn, the slient burn
taking a part of me
can you set it free
taking a part of me
can you set it free
the historian
the hooded cloak and rugged robe
claims he needs to know
the historian
clattering all his useful wares
reflecting all the stares
you
have
the
world
for i am just a mortal man
you
have
all
the
world
for i am just a mortal man

Reminisce

i'm trying so hard
to reminisce of better things
i thought of seconds
where smiles came about
i looked up at the sun
and found some happiness
i'd never felt so alive
as the light burns out my eyes
it's a beautiful feeling
i'd like to serenade your soul
it's the thing that makes me whole
i'd like to serenade your soul
before life takes it's toll
i fought so hard
to avoid all the stars
i met those memories
where nightmares weren't about
i looked into the fire
the warmth then satisfied
i'd never felt so alive
as the light burns out my eyes
it's a beautiful feeling
i'd like to serenade your soul
it's the thing that makes me whole
i'd like to serenade your soul
before life takes it's toll

Bleak, Motivate
02:56
|
|||
|
i've listened to you
taking all your time
and everything
is a vision
place a dream
for a friend
because it's difficult to trust
those smiles from above
sinking fast
misery never lasts
leave the past
flower forbids again
save it for a friend
worshipping every song
that i was bled upon
those feelings strive to hide
i build this up inside
motivate me - grab hold of what is there
leave frustrating, the sensation comes to stare

Compress
03:33
|
|||
|
it's where i'm going
i've thought of ways from here
sometimes it pays off to be clear
my head is hurting
it's draining, thirsting
for better words that i should be knowing
waiting for an answer
that takes my palm away
i saved for you
visionary
some call solitary
i'll see this through
everything that suffers from waiting
and i can't help but find that frustrating
i fell away from you today
i take those moments
and let them float away
contempt and bitterness display
other ways
i would have tasted waves
open mind, closed book
temptation just take a look
an oversight
that shocks the system's light
try to find, what it took
to step back and feel right
i've wandered endlessly to find the arts that would make me stay
i've tried to be patient - i still wait for them
compressing oxygen delivered to an address that says
you struggle here - and maybe that will end.
waiting for an answer
that takes my palm away
i saved for you
visionary
some call solitary
i'll see this through

Orange Tunnels
04:07
|
|||
|
why would you listen
to anything i have to say
i feel myself
growing stranger by the day
tall tales
i set sail
false fables
i might fail
fading today
i'd hope you could have stayed
flinging myself through tunnels
hearing decay
as voices begin to sway
piercing myself through orange tunnels
without warning i begin to crash
some things are never meant to last
i feel myself
thinking about the past
tall tales
i set sail
false fables
i might fail
fading today
i'd hope you could have stayed
flinging myself through tunnels
hearing decay
as voices begin to sway
piercing through all the tunnels
i hope
there's something to be found
that can pick me from the ground
a sound
i can hear from over there
it's almost sinister
but i can embrace her
the mother audio
vibration comes to swirl
