Madeline 03:17

Paint the growing gap That erases us Trace another map Carve another bus Why can't we draw Something that will take us far A portrait that will never mar Our canvas love Scribe the distant doubt That corrects our path Scrawl another drought Scribble one that lasts Why can't we write Something that will hide the light A story that will never slight Our canvas love Why can't we draw Something that will take us far A portrait that will never mar Our canvas love

Don't want to stay down moving slow where I lie Words left to say, never want to know Gotta look around, different things to try Roll along the empty highway; tell myself the change is for the best Try to make the leaving easy; grin right now, and time can do the rest Soft in the brain, thoughts of you haunt all my days I can't explain what it is I want But I think I know if I clear the haze Disarrayed and undecided, never knew it hurt this way to run Now I know the way I'm feeling; hope our golden hour isn't done So sorry, don't know what or why Can't even stand on the ground Come help me, give another try Don't want to keep falling down

Rosemary 03:10
Each time she wanders through the garden in my head Hesitation holds my impulse But when the gate is closed the other, she frowns And I can see her breaking dimples Rosemary can wait till next year The June fairy will walk right out your life And if you can handle all the tremors in your near sighted heart Save the distance for Rosemary's part Late night I laid up with a pain behind my eyes Couldn't find my easy breathing I see her shadow waiting there just before me But can I turn my eyes to ground that's leaving Rosemary can wait till next year The June fairy will walk right out your life And if you can handle all the tremors in your near sighted heart Save the distance for Rosemary's part
5.
The Point 02:18
Where's the point you let on about When we were starting off? I can't help but think we've passed it And I can't even see my self Without you to steer my mind And to tell me why we can't I'd lie on the floor with my eyes all clear Just to see you there And receive you're judging stare Cause if something was there, I know that I'd be around your case just to wait Until you tell me to go or that I should stay What's there that you can't seem to find right here? Is there something that I Could have done to convince you why But at this point, there's barely time to think There's nothing wrong with taking time And all this saying that it's fine Where's the point you never talked about When we were starting off Are you sure we haven't passed it

Fit Birds 03:52
Birds float through my window Birds fall through my door Watching feathers floating Never flown before The fall says my name is yours too Blessing on my forehead Bleeding on the ledge I found you, my keeper Slashing at the hedge I'd like to go to sleep Anywhere you are I can hear the sound Of you starting Anytime at all You're beating me Finding you settled across bridges Hiding your eyes from the soft morning Obscuring your feeling, your senses are subtly drowned
7.
See You 04:07
I want to see you When you can't look at me Pale, faded reason Dark eyes unfree I feel the breathing I see the halo hair Might get surprising The way you feel there Don't do a thing, I'll do it for you Just want to be the one you like Don't turn away, don't leave me hanging Defenses down till we're alike I think you notice The tilted, bursting smile You see me closely Got me on file I'm feeling dizzy The capillary swell Gives me a feeling That I don't know well You're gone away, you'll see the future When you get back, I'll still be here Lift up your face, dry all the raindrops There's nothing wrong with feeling fear Somewhere closer, facing everything Rolling over, we're in a different place I want to see you When you can't look at me You see me closely Dark eyes unfree I'm feeling dizzy I see the halo hair Gives me a feeling The way you feel there Somewhere closer, facing everything Rolling over, we're in a different place

Bear 03:02
Oh my bear Drowning in air Fill my eyes with doubt Oh my fox Lurking the docks What's it all about? Oh my bird Don't say a word Till you learn to shout Oh my bear Why do I share Countless, stilted names? Oh my person How could it worsen More than our shared shame? And when you roar You are much more than Hollow metaphor Oh it's true I don't own you Why would I want to? Concaving shrieks and sighs Collapsing sound
9.
Amelia Harding, I love you, girl I love the way you go walking by Amelia Harding, oh Why don't you kiss me, I tell you, girl I bet you'd like it if you'd just try Amelia Harding, oh If I go with you, would you guide me? Can I wash in the lily chalice gaze? Cause a single look, it would tide me And I know that I'm in the deepest phase with you Amelia Harding, you got me now I know I'd do anything you said Amelia Harding, oh I've seen the sunset, I've known a girl I'd leave her waiting for you instead Amelia Harding, oh When I'm all alone, will you find me? Will you wait when the nature walkers leave? Cause my thoughts of you wouldn't bind me If I knew you would never make me grieve again Amelia Harding oh Light me Say that you'll be my lifter  Easy to dream of the day So ring on my bell I'm around Amelia Harding, I've laid it out I hope you're thinking like I suggest

Glass Fields 02:23
Impressions of the mist over fields made of glass Strum your lost tune on these twigs of my head Wait until the morning, greet the dust Shifting through the suburbs, shampoo musk Wait until the forest, eats us whole Hoping that we never, leave this stroll
11.
Luciana 04:41
Oh Luciana, I know I want to know you And to feel your light Oh Luciana, I want For you to tell me When you’re not alright Well I’m lonely for now, Tonight’s last sound It’s alright, take down Your walls, which were failure bound Oh Luciana, I can’t Even imagine If the look arrives But if i think of all the Deceptive daydreams, I’ll feel less alive Can you see it at all? The silence fall Every time, so small Outside, in a playground crawl I know, keep track Move slow, wave back
12.
Silence holds the night till dawn, Shadows walk when daylight's gone But ease your mind and rest your eyes Darkness waits beyond our view, But nothing there can threaten you Rain and wind will pass us by Ease your mind and rest your eyes Drift through the dark The sun is waiting Until a spark Close your eyes to flashing light Hard to sleep in blinding white Lay back down, don't look outside Always somewhere you can hide The land is still The sky is shining Give up your will Morning rays will cross the sky Rest your mind and ease your eye Never pain, burning rain Touch this lovely midnight cry So goodnight, with easy sigh So goodnight, with lullaby
