crooked road

The stars in my heart
Falling apart
Spinning on a crooked road
Screaming inside
I wanna die
Why is this body such a ghost?
I swear there’s a pulse
Under my skull
I don’t wanna cry no more
Being alone is getting old
I wanna be adored
Teach me it’s time to arrive
A view of the moon so alive
I can’t keep traveling away
From tomorrow’s yesterday
This crooked road is gonna take me home someday
With you I want to stay

how to breathe
04:12
|

Visions are never ending
The veins keep on talking
I know it’s all far away
Are you awake or are you sleeping?
Is my mind always crying?
The grief is transcending
Space and time
Bleeding into the sky
I feel the concrete and the gravity
Keeping me grounded thankfully
But sometimes I forget how to breathe
The Earth is going to leave
Sooner than we think
Hey take my money just don’t hurt me
Survival instinct - don’t fail this evening
My skeleton is shaking
If only I hadn’t gone to that movie
Now the universe is screaming
This nervous system is a prison
I forgot how to breathe

someone to hold
03:38
|

I know sometimes you hurt
You can share it with me first
I won’t desert you
Somehow I’ve learned how to be there too
I will listen or take you away
I can make you dinner whatever it takes
To make it all better, that’s what you deserve
And that’s when I’m happier
Anything is possible
As long as we share tomorrow
Whatever is in store, I will try to catch your sorrow
This is when I’m at my best
You give me someone to hold
I can leave work early for you
And make up the time on the weekend if I need to
I can run to CVS and pick up the prescription
I can bring you home a bottle of wine
We can stream a TV show I know we have the time
To get things better again, that’s what you deserve
And that’s when I’m happier
We can get through it
As long as we’re still breathing
Anything is possible
As long as we share tomorrow
Whatever is in store, I will try to catch your sorrow
This is when I’m at my best
You give me someone to hold
When you come back from the pain
And I can say something that’s comforting
It feels like we are here for a reason
To overcome anything
We give each other someone to hold
We give each other someone…

Love life death
You and me and a kiss
Earth sun and moon
It’ll all be over soon
At least we found each other
In a darkened room
Cold sorrow winter
A beautiful disaster
There’s so much inside of her
A symmetry unparalleled
Ocean waves of hope buried in forever
We’re on the brink of the end
The art of self-destruction
But at least we have each other my beautiful friend
Anima and on
We won’t live long
Accumulate the moments
Adore the conversation
The night eclipse the moon
Swimming in the new
If the bombs come knocking
I want to be with you
Fertile flowering stems
The trees are always moving
The sun will decide when it’s time for non-existence
I know this much - that I love her
And I will always miss my father
But at least we have each other

Our sex was a shipwreck
Washed up onto land
Scattered bones covered in the sand
Wired in the slipstream, suffocating
Veins made of leaves, shades of honey
We’re boiling
We were never prepared for this kind of weather
We were never prepared to be so close together
We were never prepared to get through storms forever
It’s never or now
Bad thoughts cutting like a hundred diamonds
A wise man said, “there is no sunken treasure”
We should try to find new transportation
Cut the anchor and sail into each other
That’s what this ship is for
And the lake keeps on screaming
In a Godless pattern
We were never prepared for this kind of weather
We were never prepared to be so close together
We were never prepared to get through storms forever
It’s never or now
It’s never or now

love will never leave
02:31
|

Getting out of this place
Cuz it keeps staring at me
All of the twisted memories
Exhausted and empty
Wanna be brave and healthy
Not consuming the wrong things
Am I destined to become dust?
Sooner than I would prefer, oooh
Still hungry for answers
So please excuse this curse
The dark room is still there
But the light isn’t with her
It’s in the power of a song
But I can’t play it all day long
And I know through my words
Love can’t ever leave
As long as I keep on writing
Love will never leave
Sometimes I think I might die
Sooner than I would like

no way back
03:58
|

Wishing I could spend all my time
Making up for the mistakes
Must’ve been out of my mind
Shouldn’t have happened in the first place
Nothing that I can say
To ever take back your pain
You deserve so much better anyway
There's no way back
We say we’ve grown past it
But it still feels present
Affecting every moment
It was the wrong kind of love
I’m sorry - didn’t mean to hurt you
You deserve so much better anyway
Took me far too long
To know what I did was wrong
Now we live with what I did
The memories are never gone
Can’t ever forgive, can’t ever forget
You deserved so much better, not more regrets

no reason
03:46
|

Been pulling through
Since the last time I touched you
Making do with an internet signal
Calling for the delivery to the front door
There is no reason to believe
No reason at all
Come together for a moment
Look around and dissolve
Like a feeling, like a flash
Like a fallin' eyelash on your sweater
Threading future through the past
City of salt, bone and bell tower
Country of ice, rain and wild flower
Pickin' out the wreath for the funeral lamp
There is no reason to believe
No reason at all
Come together for a moment
Look around and dissolve
Like a feeling, like a flash
Like a fallin' eyelash on your sweater
Threading future through the past
There is no reason to believe
No reason at all
Come together for a moment
Look around and dissolve
Like a feeling, like a flash
Like a fallin' eyelash on your sweater
Threading future through the past

I don’t want to be here anymore
Staring at the ceiling or on the floor
Crying in the evening out for more
Wishing that you could just come over
Instead of dreaming of what I don’t deserve
Nothing can ever quell desire
Not even sleep or silence
Now what are these visions that I see
Close my eyes they’re in front of me
I don’t know what to believe
All I want is for some peace of mind
That I only find when you’re nearby
What happens when it’s time to say goodbye?
I hope we can hold on to one another
Even though we cannot always be together
This kind of love should help make it better
You always make me want to get better

beautiful mind
04:45
|

Walked down Foster to have some dinner
I saw a sign that said “you are beautiful”
I had to point it out at the time
Now I could say that every single night
Because I get to hear your words become a song
That I want to memorize
Sorry for always being shy
I curled into a ball all of the time
Didn’t know I would be blessed to find
A heart like yours beating right next to mine
I could listen to your beautiful mind
All of the day, all of the night
Rest together on a bed of twilight
Take me under the moon so bright
Awake to inspiring sky blue eyes
Another morning adoring your beautiful mind
Mixed signals may have kept me safe
But I never meant to make that mistake
Now I could lay in silence and feel your light
Your face, your hands, your neck, let me be a magnet tonight

be right here
04:28
|
|||
I don’t know why I get so worried
Convinced you will fall out of love with me
Is it in our bed, or in my heart or in my head?
No rhyme or reason, misguided lightning again
Can’t resist this restless undertow
Even though I try to contain it
And learn to let go
It’s still there, it’s not going anywhere
Can you please just say that you’ll be right there?
Can’t get back to where I once belonged
Singing songs inside the home my father bought
Yes it’s time to look forward to the present tense
Even if it means I will always be intense
Can you please just say that you’ll be right here?

endlessly
03:51
|

I wish to be everything that you need
Especially in the evening
Swimming the sea a heavy heart in an aching body
Well all I can do is love you endlessly
Dreaming of the moon
I only hope to see you soon
You get me through these lonely afternoons
Thoughts creep and then release
Into new mysteries
There’s no ambiguity when it comes to you and me
Awkward mistakes
In a fractured country we can’t shake
So let’s turn our moments into memories
Keep your hand in mine
Our bodies will sync in time
Thinking of a future I want us to find
I don’t want to think about
A life without you holding me
Everything might just fall apart
But I can’t start to think about the end of endlessly
This love is just the beginning
Our love is just beginning
|

all of you
02:48
|

No I don’t want to go to sleep
I just want to feel you breathe
In time with the rhythm of your precious heart beat
I love all of you, you’re everything
When you look in the mirror
I hope you can see
Overwhelming beauty
Sometimes it may not be easy
But it is for me to love all of you and everything
You’re my first thought in the morning
And my last in the evening
When I see you smile and hear your laugh
There’s no other place I want to be
When you look in the mirror
I hope you can see
Eyes of an ocean swaying
Sometimes it may not be easy
But it is for me to love all of you and everything

blue rose
04:59
|

Blue rose speaking code taking control of the night
It knows it might get cold but we won’t let go of this light
A sea of broken clouds singing out loud a hymn of sunshine
Combined in our hearts, a sense of endless time
Sitting on the porch, finding comfort
With a glass of midnight wine
A painting of a dream, a calming symphony
May this bloom into forever - stay here with me
Ignore all of the wars from before look forward to the future
Our fears will always be here
But let’s drown them out with nights spent together
It’s true, our hearts are still bruised
But I do not know what I’d do without you
And I know I may not meet all your needs
I need to try to be the best I can be
This beautiful root should keep growing
Another blue rose morning
May it bloom into forever - stay here with me
