So loud, so clear I can hear you breathe over the calm night of spring But you're not there, space left to fill Until warmth brings life, and cold brings still A time for conscious will Move room to room, I'm leaving a place for you A longing state, a turning page, and never see the light of day Tomorrow turns its hand away Puts up boards and says Tomorrow is what I'm waiting for But idle feet can't move on their own There is something rot with theft How wonderful are flowers left I wish this to be place of love and consciousness A haven for rest, happiness for all who need See who wonder aimless And you'll know, and you'll see Today gives us time to change the depth of loss

Somerset 03:49
Hold onto the weight until the sun has left And let it go until it's gone Sit back and be Time is a tide, you are the sea Sink into your memory I don't want to be lifted on your shoulders (Living impaired) To see you on your own, to see you lived alone (With habits of old) For fear of losing time and only to be seen (A deer in the headlights) Hold onto the weight until the sun has left And let it go until it's gone Sit back and be Time is a tide, you are the sea And where have you been? Sink into your memory Pulled up to the edge of the world, you turned back and said "I haven't been here before. Somehow I missed it, and it's all familiar to me." Oh what a sight, what a realization
3.
Thread Bare 02:56
We're all cried out None is left, at least for now Dried out and mute, living impaired Habits of old, we're falling on stilts I'm on high alert and I'm left without this Left without means, not without ends Leaving you and this was hard to do On and on the road curves and it couldn't work itself out Disbelief and solemn gifts Your eyes lit up and close Gone and out of dreams And nothing's as it seems Leaving you and this was hard to do
4.
The day spent its waning time splitting yours and mine Night fell and it came to me "Feel love and all it brings" Before famine sets in A search for nothing more, always wanting Feasting on earthly things with a mind on nothing else To what can I call this now? Undone, broken posturing Swept past, moved underground Feasting on earthly things For this I've seen, a fallen search for in-between And I'll hold the earthly things To feel love and all it brings Have you seen? Can't you see? It's not in this you are clean
5.
Changeover 02:50
Looking for something, anything, not sure what to find Some words of endearment, said softly, beautiful and kind We're not the same that we once were Losing a grasp on our old life And all we have left are machines built just for you and for me Made to keep us asleep, fix our wasted limbs Too tired to move, too tired to think Too often we're onto the next before we can see We did good today Weeping waves and clean floors Watered our plants and folded clothes We did good today Disbelief wrapped in holy cloth Waking to see, nothing short Not yet, not before the mourning comes All of these weeks and months How we feel and what we need What to eat, what to think We did good today Weeping waves and clean floors Watered our plants and folded clothes We did good today

Latergate 03:43
All along, a vision of pale pink Had you spinning, your hands in the sink Words heard and gather round' And listen for the sound of latergates Lights on and open for you to walk on through To live a life of truth with pain Not everyday and not everything Is yours to lose, to slip away Undertow and ever more Of this, of never finding sleep Not again, not waves of pause Finding the gaze of a stranger's eyes Blue and green, they look like mine A heavy conscious of things left outside With fear of losing track and fear of losing count Fear of losing time, only to be seen Is yours to lose, to slip away Undertow and ever more Of this, of never finding sleep Not again, not waves of pause A season of grief Where the lights go out and I can't see your face A grasping weakness, a break in the hold Brings forth a song that's heard and told
8.
Yesteryear 03:42
This pastel reverie lifts us, enfolds us Tokens for empty nerves Waiting to see a brighter day Late nights on Foster Left in a haze Hideaway nights Last calls and petty fights See a face again, a warm embrace again I wish it was yesterday I need a ticket to yesteryear Even in dark days with you it's bright and clear Waiting to see a bright day Calm cold and autumn A warm embrace again Clear my head of filth and despair Clean my eyes of film and disbar me from this rolling fear This endless, incessant year
9.
Hands Held 03:48
Wake up It's time to brush your dirty hair and yellow teeth Take off your shoes, lets take a walk So much to share, too little time Once held your hand as we crossed the street Your skinny legs look good on you A fainted stare with a heavy glare You're leaving me and all our dreams Better things, a place to sleep And I can't wait to join you in that place Once held your hand as we talked Shared all the plans you made with me Fears of your loss of life Fears of the way you're leaving me Your skinny legs look good on you A heavy sigh in a heavy time You're leaving me and all our dreams Better things, a place to sleep And I can't wait to join you in that place
