The Rain 02:40
lyrics
buy track
and i see where you are, then i don't then i see where you already won't every image, a memory, a dream and i know that it's not what it seems but i still feel the way that it was the rain is falling falling falls can you hear, does it ring, ring a bell? in the loveliest meaning of hell to be gone, to be washed, free of shell be the one that has hatched from the shell every person that i've ever known perfect sky say goodbye i can see in the setting of sun the rain is falling falling falls

soon be earth i'll soon be dead i'll soon be earth i'll soon be dead lie in a casket made of wood carry me across the land and bury me inside the land ride in a carriage made of wood to live, to learn, to die i give, i take, goodbye through the river through the flames right through the river through the flames buzzards fly above the sky the buzzards fly above the sky wondering when they'll let me die i wonder, will they let me die? they fly in circles multiplied secrets we hide inside i want to see the end now i'm earth so now i'm dead and now i'm earth so now i'm dead die in a life that's never would to live, to learn, to die i give, i take, goodbye now i know, the secrets they will kill you

I Accept the Quicksand's Grasp 04:12
lyrics
buy track
take me out i don't want it try to see see the scene see it moving on the screen is it me? it's not me but it feels just like a dream 'cause it's fading like a dream so i stand where i stand stand inside the colloid sand in my hands wrinkled hands feel it slipping through my hands and i still don't understand can't walk away i'm free to and i'm alone take me out i don't want it do you know what i know how the flames and water flow? yes they come and they go but they never ever show what you really wanna know so they say what they say try to live another day watch the sunset fade away 'cause the night must come from day see the glass broken past shards of memories falling fast it's a trap this desire is a trap i accept the quicksand's grasp

motherhood the making of a memory in the morning i could awake, but i won't break the wood to take the dying trees, it is a warning i should but i will not fatherhood forgetting all the family fortune forgone i should just wait in the waves i float i watch the serpent swimming towards the seashore i would but i still won't whistling in the wake whistling in the wake, i wake i wake, i wake awake now awake, i wake up whistling

i wanna be there in the morning i wanna be there in the evening i wanna be there in the night i wanna be there when the birds call i wanna be there when they fly off i wanna be there when they soar i wanna be there like a lighthouse i wanna be there like a buoy i wanna be there in the waves i wanna be there at the surface i wanna be there diving under i wanna be there at the floor i wanna be there where or not whether or not i'm supposed to be there whether or not i really belong i wanna be there when you call let me go to that place i wanna be there in the middle i wanna be there in the between i wanna be there, where i'm not i wanna be there like you want me to be there

When I Find What I Seek, I Will Give It Away (ft. Anastasia Platoff) 05:55
lyrics
buy track
in the ever-stretched sleep i combine what i've lost slipping into the deep i will find what i've lost time everything that you keep comes to me in a dream anything that you see floats away in the sea bye now i know i'm knee deep skies like dice are star-crossed up the mountain so steep light will thaw out the frost ice can you try be seen? lies forgetting the cost pictures on the touch screen every time, the life cost price when i find what i seek, i will give it away i don't need to be seen i won't pay you the cost final day wake up again i'm in my bed clouds are passing like birds memories of the night sun will set on the world there's no reason to fight this counting up all the words that i know are not right moon will shine like a pearl said it once, now it's twice twins everything that you heard isn't quite what you thought first or second or third everybody still fought fists into every unknown we will place a conflict i want what i don't own don't you understand this? lie hold onto what you can there's nothing to hold on to when it is all said said and done and then gone bye again i'm still alive i did not die yet it's in my head orange to red sometimes i think i'll play but the game is of chance if the chips fall my way i will still end up dancing on my own grave i make make your bed and now sleep sleep in it, in your head nobody else will be free speechless

Everyone You've Ever Known 03:31
lyrics

i wait for words to disappear the world to make me see the lonely sky, streaks of life but i am lost i'm lost inside the earth i'm wandering all around these halls made of lies knock on the door is there anyone there? knock on the door hear the echo decay is it all for nothing? i don't know but i'd like to see the sun and when it's done i'll paint the way it goes i'll hold it in the colors flow like rivers it will come back "The Sun Comes Back" Chris said and so i know you won't be gone forever but if you are i'll give myself away i'll give it all to everyone i still love and hope it's good i hope it's good enough this orange, green, and bluish life made of light open the door go inside feel the wind start to blow open the door every door is a shade of the sun open the door go inside someone's turning around for you can you feel them staring back? take it all from something let it go everyone you've ever known

Pass Through 02:51
lyrics

talk about the world and everyone in it but what about you? shocked because, the curl, it circles 'round and 'round and right around you chalk outline in blue, it draws a picture of who? it's, of course, you knock upon the door and no one opens it 'cause it's locked for you do i believe we will pass through? live another day, still dreaming of a new day it's before you give but always take, will i ever be okay? i am not you full of everything i'm not now i'm okay emptiness glows yes, i believe we will pass through

lyrics

i forget my purpose lose my meaning this is not the same place who's been dreaming? when the mask is the face no redeeming underneath the tortoise there's my meaning down below, i'm awake all by myself i wait for you there's nothing to hold on no butterflies i've been gone for too long chrysalis lies carry me away i'm coming home now so i'll sing my own song frozen in time down below, i'm awake all by yourself you wait for me
