Dark Didn't Know My Name
01:51
|
|||
|
I go for walks in the woods at night
When the light doesn't shine through
In the dark
Fear is all I know
And black is all I see
It's all surrounding me
Though I run fast
This feeling is catching my feet
It's overwhelming me
And I wish
The dark didn't know my name
My name
My name

Eclipsed
03:15
|

|
I watched the light fade away
To a color, I've never seen
I didn't know if it was real
Time, it stood so still
I think I knew how the sun felt
If the sun could feel
I know what it's like to have your light
Taken away by a shadow
I gave it everything I had
Everything I had give
Until I had nothing left
None for myself
And I'm tired now
So tired of fighting for love
Of fighting for love
Well this is an old story
But it's not mine anymore
While the world keeps turning
All is quiet at the core
All is quiet at the core
And just like that day
The sun's light returned
I swear it seemed to shine
More brightly than it did before
And so will I
And so will I
In time
In time

Razor's Edge
04:10
|
|||
|
The ground is shifting
The ground is moving
The ground is shifting
The ground is moving
Are you moving, moving with it
Or are you holding what you thought you knew
It's a dance along the razor's edge
Do you sink or swim in this ocean
I move so fast, my pain can't keep up
When I stop, it catches my step
It's a mess to hold the life I knew
In this death, I hope for something new
This is what I've asked for
If only I can let go
Of what I thought was real and true
And lean into the great unknown
The ground is shifting
The ground is moving
The ground is shifting
The ground is moving
What I thought was solid was just an illusion
It's a dance along the razor's edge
Do you sink or swim in this ocean
Do you sink or swim in this ocean
Do you sink or swim in this ocean

Brick Walls
03:01
|
|||
|
I've seen this road I've walked before
I know these rocks and holes
I've swum in these waters
I know the shores
And I'm always here alone
The taste of my tears have grown bittersweet
My heart has grown numb
I know the water's still moving
Though it feels rather still
And the magic has gone away
Everything feels the same
Feels the same
Feels the same
Everything feels the same
Take this sheet from my skin and bones
I want to feel the breeze
I'll kick and scream at this brick wall
Before I decide to let go
And the magic comes back
When I sit and breathe
When I breathe
When I breathe
When I breathe
I let go

Shoeshine Man
03:44
|
|||
|
I'll go
Where you go
I'm tired of running
Away from your ocean of love
I thought I could stop
The waves from washing
Away what I'm holding onto
It's another world
It's another place
It's a land I have yet to see
As I sit and still my fear
Whispers guide me
Back home
Shoeshine man
Shine my soul
So my life reflects
A truth more bright
Than the sun
As those bells
Start to sound
You'll have no choice
But to chime with them
It's another world
It's another place
It's a land I have yet to see
As I sit and still my fear
Whispers guide me
Back home
Shoeshine man
Shine my soul

Hear My Voice
02:31
|
|||
|
What does the voice sound like
After it's been a while
What does the voice sing aloud
When it can't find the words
What does the voice speak out loud
After it hasn't made a sound
What will the voice say now
If I let it out
If I let go
Would I remember the notes
Would I accept the words
Leapin' from my throat
Cuz I'm tired of living quiet
Just to keep your comfort
I think it's time to let you go
So I can hear my voice
What does the voice speak out loud
After it hasn't made a sound

Haunted & Human
03:34
|
|||
|
Honey, if you're looking
You can find me in the wild
It's out here my heart is freest
There's no one else around
It's not that I don't like people
I rather like them a lot
I just need a little break now and then
The city gets under my skin
And all the while I am fighting
Invisible voices
In the peace, I am haunted
I am haunted & human
I used to think I'd settle
And put my roots in one place
But over the years, I've found
Wherever I go, I'm home
I've grown quite accustomed
To spending my time alone
While I like myself
It's hard to believe I belong
All the while, I'm still fighting
Invisible voices
In the peace, I am haunted
I am haunted & human
Honey, if you're looking
You can find me in the wild
It's out here my heart is freest
There's no one else around

Wind In The Pines
02:52
|
|||
|
I hear the wind in the pines
I watch the clouds go by
I feel the rain on my skin
Washing me clean
You know, I've always been afraid
Of losing my mind
Stuck in a place
That no one can find
If I don't let lightning strike
I might die never knowing
That my heart was made for light
And fear was just a lie
I know that void
Been running my whole life
Can only be filled with what's inside
I still don't know
And maybe I never will
And maybe, for now, that's enough
It's enough
If I don't let the lightning strike
I might die never knowing
That my heart was never broken
The shadow of fear
Kept me from the light
It's a tricky thing
To let light in
It's easy to run
As fast as you can

Mirror, Mirror
03:44
|
|||
|
The snow is falling
It's peaceful and quiet
I wish it was quiet
In my mind
The more I question
The less I know
And the feelings I feel
Don't feel like my own
Mirror, mirror
What do you see
Am I okay
Or am I going crazy
Mirror, mirror
What's on the other side
Who will I be
These stories seem
To be drifting off
I'm sailing a freedom
That's new and unknown
And the fear I felt
Was me letting go of me
The snow is falling
It's peaceful and quiet
It's peaceful and quiet
In my mind
Mirror, mirror
What do you see
Am I okay
Or am I going crazy
Honey now
The time has come
For you to lay your little self down
And retell the story of you

Love Like Water
02:55
|
|||
|
You can never hold onto anyone
We're meant to love like water
We're meant to free each other
And nothing is sheltered from the winds of change
The earth burns
The fault lines shift
And she quakes
The river she knows
And the river will hold, she'll hold you
And the river she knows
And the river will hold you
The wind she knows
And the wind will hold, she'll hold you
And the wind she knows
And the wind will hold you
The truth is we're all slowly dying
Life's meant to slip
So savor the slipping
You can only step in the same water once
So what will you do with your one wild life
Your one wild life
Your one wild life
She'll hold you
And the river she knows
And the river will hold you
The wind she knows
And the wind will hold, she'll hold you
And the wind she knows
And the wind will hold you
You can never hold onto anyone
We're meant to love like water
We're meant to free each other

Hollow Bone
03:57
|
|||
|
What is this feeling I'm feeling
What is this feeling in my body
For the first time, I feel safe here
For the first time, I'm not running
Away from it all
Away from it all
Away from it all, I ran
Been waiting for someone to save me
For someone to tell me I'm worthy
For someone that sees all the magic that I see
And tell me it's okay that I'm not crazy
For seeing it all
For seeing it all
For feeling it all
Like I do
And I suppose
That I always knew
That I was always whole
That no part of me comes from you
Now I'm chasing after lightning
Hoping one day, it'll strike me
And empty out all of these stories
A hollow bone only listening
Now I'm chasing after shadows
Holding the light on my own
And loving me
And loving you
And loving me
And loving you
And loving me
And loving you
And loving me
Like I do
