This Won't Take Long

My dreams are lucid
I learn the lines for another ordinary day
This won’t take long, I’m used to it
If something goes wrong, it’s only temporarily
Talking in my sleep
Rehearsing the next day so I get everything right
There’s no room for mistakes here
The walls are paper-thin
Your ears are ringing until you see a face that’s sweet and tentative
All the tiny details of people’s lives
Accumulating and kept hidden in the machines
Talking in my sleep
Rehearsing the next day so I stay one step ahead
It blows my mind and leaves me reeling

I Miss These Things
02:35

It all began as I was thinking about
The flowers growing randomly over her bed
The carved out road, how it hugs the sea
And the steep incline always kills me
I'm much older now
I'm hardened by all of the things she left me to figure out
And I forgot about the warming midday sun
The sand on my skin and a midnight walk
I miss these things
Now I long for the sea
Just to hear it at night and to feel the salty breeze blow through me
I want to lie there with a head full of dreams
And skip through the fields
Unaware of what lies ahead of me

Your head resists what your heart knows
Your feelings are shy and withdrawn
You do not trust easily
You begin unravelling
You are absorbed in your emotions
Not looking out for other people
You begin unravelling
These things happen for a reason
It's not obvious to you now

She sits through the meaningless conversation
And tells me how she imagined it to be
She’s bored so easily
Her head is somewhere else
She’s blowing out candles
And making wishes to be anywhere else but here
Amongst all the old faces
All the possibilities are so inviting
I never knew she had such dreams
She wants to see the sun on the other side of the world
I say "Don’t stay where you are
For once in your life let yourself have this moment
Leave the windows open".

Feeling your way says that all that you own
Tendering all that remains in your heart
Resist it all again
Don’t know the way, so alter the weather and all that you had
If you were ordered, he’s in your head
It all begins again
He looks through the light and rounds the horses up ahead
Tame the light that rested all
The rain’s a veil
Lord, haul me away
Who will say the bruises stain all
The frozen hands
Ruin me in your fire
Where can love lie?

Put My Head Down
03:38

There’s no way back
I’ve covered all my footprints
I spin around until I drop and I wake up as a newborn
I don’t even know how I got here
I’ll put my head down
I’m gonna catch up to you
Oh, you kept my secret well - thank you
I don’t want to give in to any temptation
I left no trail
I didn’t want to be found in the state I was in
I’m learning how to talk to you without the hidden meaning
When I think of what I did to you and still you stayed with me
I had to take my guilt and drown it
I’ll put my head down
I’m gonna make you follow me
I’ve let you see another side, don’t hold it over me
I won’t shy away, living in this new world
I left no trail
I’ll put my head down
To take a new breath
I see you by my side
I won't shy away
I’ll see another side
I don’t want to know how I got here
I just want to get on with it
I won’t shy away
I’ll put my head down

Straight Lines
02:01
|

|
Last night a terrible wind blew past my window
All the rain, all the snow
It dragged me away
Into the sea
Into the sky
I’ll drown there in your love
Straight lines
Lead me to you

Hear, listen
Your star has fallen over
Wave goodbye to the feeling of safe and sound
In your own time, you’ll feel alive
Extract the meanings and tuck them under your pillow
Lay low, but listen close
One day you’ll want to be alive
In your own time, you’ll feel alive
And I could have told you but you were closing over
Wait for one day and let the darkness know you
Hours drown you in moments, falling slower
Just surrender
The tide will turn for you again
In your own time, you’ll feel alive

The Weeping Bird

And so, sorrow
Alone and all
I hear the weeping bird
For some other way
Follow the rising fall

Have I always been this way?
Can I always feel this way?
Held within a shadow, while
Lost inside a frame
Will I always feel this way?
Can a teardrop stop the rain?
Can a sinner hide her shame?
Held within the light, while lost without a name
Can a teardrop stop the rain?
Just another lost at sea
I'll trade the tide to rescue me
How come you left me with no sail to find the shore?
Just another lost at sea
