Delta (The River's Edge)

The way life feels, it’s as if there’s an emptiness,
it’s as if there’s an emptiness
A certain ebb and flow that carries into the river’s edge,
into the river’s edge
Where the water meets an unwelcome, but necessary landscape,
a necessary landscape
Although it hurts to see what looks like an end
It has made my time worthwhile
And made my life something more than just a ship
A ship in a bottle and a plane on a string
Strings separate me from what hurts the most
While I swim in a sea away, apart from everyone
Although it hurts to see what looks like an end
It has made my time worthwhile
I see the end poking through the clouds...
Underneath all the caveats and precious entrances and exits
There is always a corner I call home
It seems right if not for the space that I’d leave behind
During the fall, away from everything that I recognize

You rise up, you sink down, it’s the law of destiny
There’s a balance between timeless moments
Feeling big, Feeling small, a little bit of flux won’t hurt
It’s not your job to be a stable soul
Looking up, all around for short answers
To all my questions regarding death and life and love between
Two worlds reincarnated, why was I born me?
And not some other soul so very old
I just feel so lost, so lost...
Waking up, waking up at night, tossing and turning
Feeling so tightly wound and I don't know where to go next
In my dreams or awake, doesn't make a difference
Because I'm so powerless in both
And so it goes, that's the balance struck again, questioning motives
Of happiness and its place in my path, time's running out and I must nix
Obstacles that steer my soul astray, fake pleasure, endless satisfaction
It makes no difference whether my heart’s free or not

Sophie is the Sea
07:21

The sea, it knows it’s changing
But she does not know how to be the change that stirs her soul
All the scars are buried,
Faded from color, drowning more and more, they numb the pain
Her mind is ever-changing,
Her body fights the peace she deserves to own and finally heal
Crying can’t replace love,
Believing that she'll never know the sun when she can't see it
She’ll wake up and think of yesterdays
Distant dreams recall her youth
And it's hard to leave the bed
She’s in a shadow neverland
Her home, it lies by the cliffs
Looking out onto the sea, hoping
When she makes her morning tea
She can feel the salty air, dry her lips
The waves help clear her mind
Filled with Marmalade, marred, melodies
She breathes, shakes her frozen lungs
And feels the fear she ran from all these years
Through the mirror, she runs away...

Déjà vu
05:06
|

Waking up, it hurts, and I don’t see a single reason why
I should open my wretched eyes wide
You’re asleep and I wonder if you’re whole purpose here is
To see yourself through my mind
And it stings to question your pure face and eyes
Cus I know they would never hide lies
But I feel betrayed by phantom fears from centuries long past
When my soul had a different memory
I feel, I feel, deja vu
And it feels so real
I know, I know, I’m lost in time
In love, in love, in love
Am I, am I alive?
Still I’m apart from your heart, is distance the only reason why?
Or is it that I’m afraid to heal?
When you’re away I count the days when we may be soulmates wedged apart
Since all things are banished by the sun
I feel, I feel, deja vu
And it feels so real
I know, I know, I’m lost in time
In love, in love, in love
Am I, am I alive?

Yesterday I felt like I was floating away
Lately I’ve been unable to realize things pass
It’s already March and time seems to half pass by
At the peak of my life 22 years ago
I have been struggling with people’s eyes
They tear me right to pieces
Trite advice, old phrases like “live in the present”
“Worry about what you can control, objectively now”
The words are stilts
And such lines are so overused and generalized
Finding my, finding my legs
Finding, finding my, finding my legs
Fixing my abhorrent, fuck-up devotion
Fixing my abhorrent, fuck-up deviation
I have been jilted by my past incarnation
Barrelling down, down to a wrong destination
Big picture obviously let me down
If only I didn’t reach into the garbage disposal and lose both my hands
Now I’m old and crumpled and slow
Quasi-wise and Quasimodo, maimed and slow
Foggy-eyed and tripping in snow, tripping in snow
Foggy-eyed and simple and slow, simple and slow
Bleary-eyed and simple and slow, simple and slow
Bleary-eyed and simple and slow
One, two, three and the world has folded
One, two, three and the world has folded beneath…
(sinner…)

Emancipated, wildly-calling geese,
Fleeing into the wind, holding onto our dreams,
Becoming one of the spirits sent to possess our love,
Sent by a hand, touched as it may be
But flawed, and simple. And genius. And that was it.
But flawed, and simple. And genius. And that was it.
I feel the wind, press me into the window,
And ask for more. Your voice, it asks for more.
It’s so misunderstood. It’s not fair that I’ve mistaken,
It’s love for something else. That doesn’t exist yet
And so we wait to, be released, this is our lives.
And so we wait to, be released, this is our time.
If there is more to this story I will uncover it.
If there is more to this story I will recover it.
This love lies in a different world,
Yet close to the echoes of our minds.
Swaying in the distance, a mirage.
A space to latch our hearts onto
Shifting dreams fill our minds with feelings, more or less the same.
Our journey resembles the soft falling snow, before the rising sun.
The sol that perpetually glides down
To a white mountain expanse, spraying snowy mist,
Like our breath condensing on a glass ceiling,
Dripping on the spiral staircase below it
Twisting helix, DNA that contains the past and future.
And so we wait and we wait,
We are in time
We’re enveloped in fog
And in love and in love
And in love and in love

Lost in the Moonlight
03:58
|
|||
|
I want to evaporate away,
Ask myself, “why aren’t I amongst the leaves?
Why aren’t I part of the wind?
Why aren’t I part of the wind?
Why aren’t I part of the wind?
Why aren’t I part of the wind?”
Displacement leads to a vacuum, which brings change
We are born existing out of time
We are borne of starlight
We are borne of starlight violence
We are borne of starlight
We are borne of starlight violence
I think to myself, life is strange
Happiness is vague, and mountains pile up
Emotions are lost
Emotions are lost
Emotions are lost
No emotions are lost
Coins in pockets buy warmth,
Coins in pockets are cold to the touch
Huddling under the moonlight
Huddling under the moonlight for warmth
Floating in the lake at night
Floating in the lake at night
And sleeping...

It’s alright to feel in love
It’s a field encased in smoke
Ground beneath is opaque
Awake in a flurry of light
The heart knows its seachange, waves lick
The sand and toes, tide is climbing
Through the chest
Salty sweetness is worthwhile
It can grant a second life
The aftermath of chemistry
Flickers in your candle eyes
It’s not technically a smile, it’s more worn
It breathes inside the home of another, just as you were
Drowning colors in her arms
Over scars and buried face
It’s what breathing can’t replace
Wondering how the feelings changed
There are moments in this life
When you feel like it’s enough
Like everything’s enough
Like everything’s enough
Like what you have’s enough
To feel happy
To feel free

Lay down, lay down night
Feeling so close to you, your eyes
I just wanna kiss you
Breathe me, breathe me in
Feel my heart stay
It's not just cellular love
Between, between my bones
And outside of me
It feels like falling into time
Wonder, when we're old
When we feel close to death
Will we kiss right into the next life?
Into the next life, into the earth
Maybe osmosis keeping us close
Waiting to breathe life into our song
Are we still dancing into the sky?
Feel you through my skin
Feel you circulate, your warmth
It heals me like the sun
Lay down, lay down night
Feeling so close to you, your eyes
I just wanna kiss you
Let's run, let's run now
Let's run, ascend into the moon now
Surprise ourselves
Don't run without me
Lay down, lay down night
Feeling so close to you, your smile
I just wanna kiss you

Are we meant for each other, for all time?
Or is there always a question arising
Does it make a difference?
Does it make a difference though?
I’m not sure.
Can I know and question at the same time?
At the same time
Can I wonder, ashamed, ashamed
Can I feel it in my bones
But not trust life
Doubt in my life blood
Doubt in my life blood
Doubt in my life blood
Doubt in my life blood
The twinkle in your eyes and mine says it all
Tells me everything that I need to know
Doors swinging in my mind
Let’s watch stars flicker in their atmospheres
As long as stars flicker, their atmospheres burning
I’ll help you define your home in my mind
With what intensity does your heart beat for mine?
With what intensity does your heart beat for mine?
With what intensity does your heart beat for mine?
With what intensity does your heart beat for mine?
