Here We Are
so here we are
like children under falling stars
I wish tonight
that the dawn won’t wake
you’ve trusted me
been there and helped me through some things
and it feels like
that with you I am safe
the realization may just hit you one day
now that I’ve fallen in love
I don’t ever want to go back
now that I’ve fallen in love
I don’t ever want to go back
I’ve gone quite far
I must of made a dozen starts
and I won’t lie
it feels like a waste
life has taught me
it’s hardly good to hope or dream
but you feel right
and for you I would wait
but if you have to wait your love will show the way
now that I’ve fallen in love
I don’t ever want to go back
now that I’ve fallen in love
I don’t ever want to go back
Seven Years
I’ve lost myself in this world
said goodbye to the girl that I love
I’ve witnessed less than truth
under clouds of gray and blue in the sky
I have prayed for rain to come down
and calm my heart
and put asleep the wait confounding
that pulls apart
I’ve searched through these seven years of dreams
I’ve searched through these seven years of dreams
I’ve had my joys and my hells
lost my way and I fell from the light
I’ve turned the hands of time
back and forth through my mind until I broke
I have looked to the past for answers
to who I am
but all I’ve found is empty bottles
when I was sad
I’ve searched through these seven years of dreams
I’ve searched through these seven years of dreams
I have prayed for rain to come down
and calm my heart
and put asleep the wait confounding
that pulls apart
I’ve searched through these seven years of dreams
I’ve searched through these seven years of dreams
Mouth of God
as the day ends the storm moves the night
the fall of rain breaks from the sky
for now I’m free, released from my bind
and what you said means nothing tonight
standing in the rain I feel ordinary
I’ve lived my life afraid and in vanity
and through it all the mouth of God has been speaking and knows
what is right and where I should go
lucid visions wake me from my sleep
under gray clouds I walk the streets
in my dreams I’ve found uncharted parts of me
but how can I be free from what I believe?
standing in the rain I feel ordinary
I’ve lived my life afraid and in vanity
and through it all the mouth of God has been speaking and knows
what is right and where I should go
I’ve come to know the world for what it is
I’ve come to know that this will someday end
I’ve come to know that I will have to die
but in this moment I am I
and I can change the world
we can change the world
Ethereal Sight
ethereal sight
the world is reaching to the sun, waking in the light
ethereal sight
I’m seeing more than colors, I’m looking into life
in your daily life
do you rely on your eyes?
change your way of sight
see the world without your eyes
ethereal sight
the world is speaking today, active in the light
ethereal sight
I’m seeing God in the earth, connected inside
in your daily life
do you rely on your eyes?
change your way of sight
see the world without your eyes
ethereal sight
ethereal sight
what you make of it is what you take from life
ethereal sight
what you take from it, is what you get from life
in your daily life
do you rely on your eyes?
change your way of sight
see the world without your eyes
ethereal sight
Atmosphere
the moon has shown her face
intangible, the animal
I’m taken by her grace
insatiable, oh the wasteful
spoke love, now look at what she’s done
black doves nest where good could come
I have felt so lost
lying in bed alone
cars pass by and haunt
echoes through my window
these nights hold me in wait
obligation, consummation
does fate anticipate?
promiscuous, oh the vicious
shared blood, my heart remembers one
wholesome, I thought, but I was young
I have felt so lost
lying in bed alone
cars pass by and haunt
echoes through my window
time stands still when you fall in love
life hands you what you must accept: because
I have felt so lost
lying in bed alone
cars pass by and haunt
echoes through my window
Bitter
I’d like to change, but it can wait
I’m used to living with mistakes
the sun is down with the drapes
and it’s just another day gone by
I poisoned my soul
I poisoned my soul
I poisoned my soul
I poisoned my soul
these days I bathe in my own waste
I mock the pure and the ordained
I’d begin anew by the ‘morn
but it’s just an effort meant to go awry
I poisoned my soul
I poisoned my soul
I poisoned my soul
I poisoned my soul
the dark of night haunts me
my breath is short
and this single memory
it eats my soul
as far as I can see
I’ll have this sore
and in the hope I keep
it just gets old
Wandering
so are the stars shining tonight?
I haven’t looked, I’m too distracted with my life
and I lay here with you
in my life, I’m shunning the past, changing me for you
I’ve tried to show you who I really am
but all I’ve revealed is all I can
I’ve thought this over and over again
over and over again
time will tell what your heart feels for me
and if love, we speak, we trust and believe
I’ve fallen into your arms and found bliss
in my life, this is what I’ve always missed
I’ve tried to show you who I really am
but all I’ve revealed is all I can
I’ve thought this over and over again
over and over again
I’m trying to escape the darkness in my life
but it’s been hard and it just takes time
I’m holding back my years, I’m holding back my fears
I’m holding back everything, and it is still not enough
selfishness corrupts
it destroys the heart
I’ve tried to show you who I really am
but all I’ve revealed is all I can
I’ve thought this over and over again
over and over again

Love Gone
my dearest love, are these days a waste?
tell me have I gone this far for a heartache?
the lake’s empty, and the clouds don’t move
the world is waiting for me, but I’m waiting for you
my dearest love, I never sent you my words
how could I let anger take me to my worst?
how can time be so cruel?
how can the past be so removed?
oh, love where have you gone?
oh, love where have you gone?
my dearest love, oh how I have tried
to get beyond the sadness that I keep inside
the days grow long through the winter’s hold
and I feel the awful chill of being alone
my dearest love, you’re who I think of
you kept me together when I was down
why must we part ways?
why is love dictated by change?
oh, love where have you gone?
oh, love where have you gone?
your life will go on and so will mine
let us never have to say goodbye
Night Comes
night comes and I feel like a child
I’ve been distant from myself, for a while
now the sun starts to fall, down, down
and the day will drift away
for sleepers nothing matters now
with my sadness and with my pains
I’m quietly forgotten now
I’m ashamed of all my animosity
It’s hard to accept what’s happened to me
now the sun, starts to fall, down, down
and the day will drift away
for sleepers nothing matters now
with my sadness and with my pains
I’m quietly forgotten now
I feel so alive
