Enshrouded
Caught in a strange dream
Though I was unaware
I knew I was small when I looked up to see the starlight approaching
I want to leave my head
Completely
This fleeting feeling of leaving
Everything this world bequeaths
Like a moon beam
Why did I receive such a haunting
I’ve been in a dark mood lately
Trying to feel the things I once knew
I want to dissappear
I want to leave my head
Completely
This fleeting feeling of leaving
Everything this world bequeaths
Like a moon beam
Sleepless
So careless
Watching moments
Leave me hazy
I want to disappear

Cast Spells

You try to cast spells
You've been whispering words to me from a poetry book
The lines that you wrote / that you felt / that you took
You try to cast spells
You've been breathing dark magic to me
When I'm singing sad songs
You can't pick me up but you drag me along
You trip on your words
You've been opening up to me
When the hymns lift you up
The more that you stutter the gospel I seek

Glass House

I wonder if we ever really change
I’ve been born a hundred times or more
We’ve made the same mistakes
...all in a row
But no one would ever know
How you hurt me like you did
And you never really loved me
In a house made of glass and opaque walls
With a howl that always haunts and passive aggressive behavior when everything’s your fault
We’ve seen this place a hundred times before
But no one comes around when you want
I don’t wanna feel alone
...anymore
No one would ever know
That you left me like you did
And you never really loved me
In a house made of glass and opaque walls
With a howl that always haunts and passive aggressive behavior when everything’s your fault
...all in a row

Vanishing

Orange glowing filaments
I feel unbalanced
Sleepless watching light grow through the nighttime windows
I miss you
when street lights search for shadows as I stagger through the hours and the images they cast
Memories follow me
Hallucinating
I’m dizzy with these dizzy spells
Alone I felt empty there
The moon glows a crescent shape tonight
With everything I’ve left behind
I miss you
when street lights search for shadows as I stagger through the hours and the images they cast

Labyrinth
03:50
|

|
Finally found some silence
I’ve been pacing around with this song in my head now for days
The neighbors were building a treehouse for the kids in the yard where I used to play for hours dreaming
I’m not sure that I’ll ever figure it out
In this city things either linger or slowly fade
Maybe this is nothing but a daydream
I have these things in my head that I need to get out so that I can move on
Maybe it’s nothing but a daydream

Hummingbird

Will you sing me a song?
One that passes through these hours...
Through the dark, dark day... and your mortal wings
Every night I lie awake and tell myself that I’m done with praying
Everything that I thought was true wasn’t real
Won’t you sing me a song?
One that kisses like the quiet when a hummingbird feeds until the light of day fades
Every night I lie awake and tell myself that I’m done with praying
Everything that I thought was true wasn’t real
Every morning I wake up aching and close my eyes to hold back the tears
I toss and turn when I’m feeling sorry for my self

Many Moons

|
Sneak up on me in my sleep
Oh, to be so quiet
For someone you love
Will one day be silent
The moon shines red like blood tonight
Illuminating
An afterlife?
No spirit waiting
Sneak up on me in my sleep
Oh, to be so quiet
There was never anything to hear
Just silence
The moon shines red like blood tonight
Glimmering and bright
Illuminating
An open window waiting
There’s no legacy to save
Betray your feelings...
I can’t hold them in my hands
What separates the memories?
The moon shines red like blood tonight
Heavenly and bright
Illuminating
A golden angel waiting
Irreverently

Infinite Chords
03:48
|
|||
|
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
May angels watch me through the night and keep me safe til morning light
If I should die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
Silhouette, I saw you standing there
in the lights you were laughing at the cars as they passed
Every bird filled the sky
Silhouette, taking flight
You were fading in the clouds as they changed
Silhouette, I saw you standing there
Dreams appeared to be falling all around you and I
Every star filled the night
Silhouette, don’t you cry
You’ll be fading into their light to become
(Then fade away)

Swan Dive

|
I feel everything
Heavy on my shoulders
Weighing empathy and all the colors
I’ve been thinking about my life, thinking about time slipping
Thinking about my mother and how I wish I spent more time with her
This wound won’t ever clot and the ringing in my ears don’t ever seem to stop
Seeing visions of you mumbling at the moon
Conjuring some darkness from the shadows in your room
I hide everything
Heavy on my shoulders
Weighing empathy and all of the colors
I’ve been thinking about my life
In the meantime I’ll be waiting
Memories fade with dizzy spells
Oh, how I miss her
I always will
This wound won’t ever clot and the ringing in my ears don’t ever seem to stop
Seeing visions of you mumbling at the moon
Conjuring some darkness from the shadows in your room

The Shade You Cast
03:14
|
|||
|
She carried the sleet
It slipped down her shoulders
In subsequent dreams the nights getting colder
She only haunts her only son
Who casts the shade, who’d be the only one
Exit the wounds
Bloodletting alcohol
That eerie room, those blurry thoughts
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
And I think of her every winter
Beneath blankets of ice and snow
And of all things I still remember
Was this dark once dire and her heart was tired
