Forefathers
03:45
|
|||
We should have nerve to start
Calling out for change
Unlucky people need
A chance to rearrange
So many citizens sleeping on their feet
Ignoring ignorance cuz they're too afraid
They're just like all of our forefathers
A million years ago
Just like all of our ancestors
A long time ago
Sailors and officers, even Jackie O.
Valuable humankind
What there is to know
Protecting survival is a total bore
We're just like all of our forefathers
A million years ago
Just like all of our ancestors
A long time ago
Can we turn back the hands of time with denial

Side of Your Mind
03:07
|
|||
These days things seem so unexpected
Just like pages in a book
Cheap sci-fi world
Where everything ends
We're still viewing ourselves
From behind a mirror
Inexplicable love
Growing clearer
Flowing energy at the speed of sound
One thing for certain
Soak it in while we're around
Peel back the hidden side of your mind
Feels so good
Just to fall inside
It's like staring straight into the sun

We Disappear
03:06
|
|||
Clouds roll by
We gaze up at the sky
Warm embrace
Sunlight dancing across your face
Glowing skin
You and the earth fill my vision
Looking through the veil of time
We remain unchanged
Naked promises
Vivid green
Dotted with trees in between
Transposed
Lost in a blissful daydream
We disappear
Here where the sun and grass meet
Said you couldn't understand
Flowers in our hair
The world turning in our hands
Flowers in our hair

Losing Our Control
03:37
|
|||
I never knew what had happened
I look up
You're there
In walk my problems
But it's none of your concern
You stole a glance my way
Even threw a kiss
Press yourself against me
If we try
It won't fail
This was the first time
I had seen you since
We spent the night in your bed
You were better than the rest
If not for my mind
It could have worked out
Press yourself against me
If we try
It won't fail
You make me who I am
We're losing our control
Am I trying too hard
Is it written in the stars

Sharp Divide
03:15
|
|||
Just be still for now
Emptiness abides
The ebb and flow of fear
Has no sharp divide
A gentle touch of peace
Filters through your mind
Down in the waves
We feel our days
Lonely on the shore
They come no more
Passing through this world
Death is life lesson
Quiet solitude
Nutrition for the soul
But focusing on pain
Will only further scar
Down in the waves
We feel our days
Lonely on the shore
They come no more
No need to strive for anything
Better than before
It only fades
We give our heart
To open up our mind
If we can see what's inside
We never die

Smoke
04:09
|
|||
You and me
Laying quietly
Though how loud our thoughts
Sensations crowd the room
Burning cigarettes
Light a spark instead
Smoke trails
Perfume the room
Ground settling
In this rift
How can we go on like this
Maybe
Waiting silently
Heavy like a dream
We agree
To lay down these arms
Ground settling
In this rift
How can we go on like this
Still searching for a name
A stream or flood
To drown out the flame
Flowing through
Visions of our minds
I am yours despite
This violence
Flows through our open hands
Hold them out to you
Poems fill the room
Awaken
Find we're alone

Unspoken
03:44
|
|||
Memories seem to be backward
Everything is feeling so awkward
Would you stay outside
With the wind picking up
Can we create words in vain
So gullible
We believe in change
Walking out into the water
Breathing with our heads under
We have changed many times
Seeing through each other
Can we create words in vain
So gullible
We believe nothing existed
These things are better left unspoken
Could there be another one
I believe in you

Bleed Me
03:07
|
|||
Thinking it's time
To be honest
Wipe the stain from your chest
Bare myself for all to see
A gleaming shred of humanity
Naked bones
Flesh still gone
Thinking we had moved on
Bleed me
Stain me like paper
These images release
Your lips part as you kiss me
I hear the darkness speak
Dreaming of a dying face
Maybe it's time you embrace
Light instead of empty space
Nations fall and get replaced
Can't deny what is true
I still burn for you
Bleed me
Stain me like paper
These images release
Your lips part as you kiss me
I hear the darkness speak
It lights the night sky above
Brings me to my knees
Two in a million
Become a single one

Hardly Deliberate
03:51
|
|||
Tall heels own the room
Deep with your sorrows
Could you break the rules
Only you don't see me
Hardly deliberate
How stunning you are
Given my heart to you
Chained to your secrets
I feel exposed
But it's so good
Couldn't ask for less
In this dress
Forming silhouettes
On your surface
Flashing photographs
In constant motion
You don't bother to
Convey emotion

Heading Nowhere
03:47
|
|||
All these emotions
Felt in silence for years
Every minute
Could be a trigger, I fear
Distance causes you to stray
Only in my mind
How fast we are heading nowhere
Watching our dreams
Burn down to the ground
You seem content to just let it evaporate
I can tell you no one
Could ever take your place
We have plenty more
Bitter moments like these
You would rather break
Than watch things crumble, it seems
Let me bury myself in you
'Til the night fades out
In your eyes chemicals combine
It's irresistible
