find me

fade away…
it’s you or i this time,
and i just need to know
if everything will be alright?
say goodbye,
to what's been eating you inside.
open up your head,
be free of all the lies.
i said,
you can find me when you
turn off the lights.
and you can find me when you
open up your eyes.
do it right,
when everything’s aligned.
has all that’s left unsaid
been keeping us alive?
you can find me when you
turn off the lights.
and i said,
you can find me when you
open up your eyes.
we’ll let go of all we know,
and take this path alone.
beyond all remedies,
but if you need me…
you can say the words that are
stuck inside your throat,
and i’ll try not to wait for you,
cause i can’t bear to be your ghost.

quiet hours
03:25
|
|||
|
you reached out,
whispers on the pavement in the night.
i saw your face
in neon light.
when you drifted off,
to engine hum and tires meeting road,
head on my shoulder
on the ride back home.
but now your patience has run dry,
cause in those quiet hours
i lost track of time.
what am i supposed to do
when every sound returns to you?
now i push through crowds,
as airplanes tear across an empty sky.
so far away
from where we said goodbye.
and in my ears,
the words you’d say that i used to ignore.
ringing still,
they beg for more.
i had my chance to get it right,
but in those quiet hours
i lost track of time.
what am i supposed to do
when every sound returns to you?
now i’m stuck with my decisions.
and there's nothing left to do,
but still my thoughts return to you.
return to you.
return to you…

after tonight
03:53
|
|||
|
from lofty windows,
the faintest sound.
i hear laughter
from a place that i am not allowed.
through crooked hallways
and vacant rooms,
we were promised
a chance to start anew.
once constant chatter
filled my days,
then this aching silence,
came to take its place.
but after tonight,
there's those to blame.
time will show us
why tomorrow never came.
they took the world, in their arms,
and bent it out of shape.
what we had, what it cost,
what can’t be replaced!
clear in hindsight,
after tonight.
recollections
turned me blind.
trusting powers that
all our pain was justified.
but after tonight,
my heart realigned,
i’m done pretending.
it can no longer be denied.
and so they say,
“that’s how it goes,
how could we know?
how could we know?”
but tonight the truth
sits so close.
i should have known
i should have known.
they took the world, in their arms,
and bent it out of shape.
what we had, what it cost,
what can’t be replaced!
clear in hindsight,
after tonight.

big talk
03:19
|
|||
|
i found it easier,
to step back from the edge,
and declare my
big dreams of what could be.
i thought the work would come to me.
but i would wait for nothing.
i would wait…
with wasted breath,
i’ve spent my whole life counting
on it to change.
am i too late?
no more empty talk,
we’ll take it our own way.
and turn over,
a new song to sing to you,
from a sound i never knew.
cause i can’t stand the silence.
i won’t wait!
another day.
i’ve spent my whole life counting
on it to change.
am i too late?
too late…
