Myth

Drifting in and out
you see the road you’re on
It came rolling down your cheek
you say just what you mean
and in between
It’s never as it seems

Help me to name it, Help me to name it

If you built yourself a myth you’d know just what to give
What comes after this momentary bliss
the consequence
Of what you do to me

help me to name it, help me to name it

Found yourself in a new direction
arrows falling from the sun
canyon calling
Would they come to greet you
let you know you’re not the only one

can’t keep hangin’ on
To what is dead and gone
If you built yourself a myth you’d know just what to give
Materialize
Or let the ashes fly

help me to name it, help me to name it

Wild

My mother said to me
That I would get in trouble
Our father won’t come home
‘Cause he is seeing double

Out in the endless green
Your eyes are so misleading
That’s when your car pulls up
Its hood is black and gleaming
And in a while
You start a smile
The earth is wild
you’ve got no time

Wild in our ways
What we are making
Heartless to say
Go on pretending

One chance to fall behind
The lines that would not let you
Can I believe in how
The past is what will catch you
And in a while

You start a smile
The earth is wild
You’ve got no time

Lazuli

In the blue of this life
Where it ends in the night
When you couldn’t see
You would come for me

Wonder eyes, motion high
And we don’t dare slip on by
Make us suffer
Like no other

Is nothing like lapis lazuli
Let it go back to me

Like no other you can’t be replaced

Other People

So you thought it would happen
Good love goodbye
I know where no one can reach you
No I don’t mind
It’s your world, why would you fake it
These days go by
As you turn around

Other people want to keep in touch
Something happens and it’s not enough
Never thought that it would mean so much
Other people want to keep in touch

Heaven won’t keep us together
Right place at the wrong time
It takes all kinds of weather
Distant new skies

Somewhere nothing can reach us
These days go by
As you turn around

Other people want to keep in touch
Something happens and it’s not enough
Never thought that it would mean so much
Other people want to keep in touch

Was it ever quite enough

The Hours

Can I wait the hours ’til they find me
Climb up to the tower so that you could see

Violence in the flowers where they found you
Can I wait the hours
Would it be untrue
Climb up to the tower so that you could see
All across the hours

Frightened eyes looking back at me
Change your mind don’t care about me
Frightened eyes

Made in your reflection so that you could feel
Mad in your intentions fear it isn’t real
All the recollections spinning in a field
Left in your possession ’til it isn’t real
You say it isn’t real

Frightened eyes

Deeper than you and me
It’s farther than you could see
Is it too much to ask tell me
It’s all in a glance you’ll see
It’s deeper than you and me
It’s all in a glance you’ll see
It’s farther than we could be
It’s deeper than you and me
Frightened eyes

Troublemaker

Like a hand you reached out to me
thunder rolls in with the dark
Tiny fingers on the edges
Watch it unravel pulling everything apart

In the night, we sleep together
The walls are shaking from within
Does it become you troublemaker
Watch them unravel you pulling everything apart

Someday, out of the blue, it will find you
Always always a face to remind me
Someone like you

You watch the shape these things are taking
Do you cry out in your sleep
Heart is racing when you’re under
Does it become you yes taking everything too hard

When you walk away
You show me how
Come, pull me under

Someday, out of the blue, it will find you
Always, always a face to remind me
Someone like you

New Year

All I wanted comes in colors
Vanish everyday
Stranger things will come before you
Always out of the way
We keep these promises, these promises

Can you call it?
See it coming
Just enough to tell a story
‘Bout a portrait of a young girl
Waiting for a new year

All you ever wanted
Is it getting away
Visions of a feeling
The footsteps at bay
You were getting stronger
Memories again
Now you’re open wider
It’s better this way

All I wanted comes in colors
Vanish everyday
I keep these promises, these promises
Stranger things will come before you
Always out of the way
We keep these promises these promises

Won’t you write a letter
On the page
In your own way
Write it in a letter
On the page
It’s your own way

You were getting wiser
It’s better this way
Faces in the mirror
Memories again
Now look to a feeling
It’s lighter than breath
All you ever wanted
Is it getting away

Can you call it
See it coming
Just enough to tell a story
‘Bout a portrait of a young girl
Waiting for the ending of an era

Can you call it?
See it coming
Just enough to tell a story
‘Bout a portrait of a young girl
Waiting for the new year

Wishes

The roses on the lawn
Don’t know which side you’re on
In a daze, it will change

Wishes on a wheel
Wishes on a wheel

The voices in the hall
Will carry on their talking
Carry weight you can’t take

Wishes on a wheel
Is it even real

The contact that you make
The moment when a memory aches
Who can tell
You do it well

Wishes on a wheel
How’s it supposed to feel

One in your life
It happens once and rarely twice
One in your life
It happens once and rarely twice

The roses on the lawn
Won’t know which side you’re on
On that hill, forever still

Wishes on a wheel
How’s it supposed to feel

Wishes on a wheel…

On The Sea

Out on the sea, we’d be forgiven
Our bodies stopped the spirit leaving
Wouldn’t you like to know
How far you’ve got left to go

Somebody’s child, nobody made you
It’s not what you stole, it’s what they gave you
In or out, you go
In your silence, your soul

Would you rather go unwilling
The heart is full and now it’s spilling
Barreling down the steps
Only a moment left

In hind of sight, no peace of mind
Where you begin and I’m defined
Daughter of unconscious fate
Time will tell in spite of me

In hind of sight, no peace of mind
Where it begins and we’re defined
Shadows bend and suddenly
The world becomes and swallows me

Whistle to a friend
Gentle ’til the end
Any way, in a name
She takes shape, just the same

Irene
Though you hardly know her
The lights on its way
The hand that rests upon it
Still wanna stay

No way of recognizing
The cat knows the call
Fair child is rising
There’s no mystery at all

It’s a strange paradise

You’ll be waiting
