Cherished Day

Steady now there's no need to rush
Steady now you can open up
Steady now stand your ground
Steady now you know how
She opens her eyes and sees for the first time
She opens her mouth and screams for the first time
She opens her heart to love for the first time
She opens her mind and sees for the first time
Steady now there's no need to rush
Steady now you can open up
Just know that everything will be alright
Just know that everything will be alright
The earth is spinning
You are breathing
Such a cherished day
Your soul is hungry go and feed it
Such a cherished day
I'm not afraid to drown
I urge you to swim
But be careful of creatures of the deep blue
Their black eyes stare up and fingers grab for you
The earth is spinning
You are breathing
Such a cherished day
Your soul is hungry go and feed it
Such a cherished day

Death and Desire
05:59
|

The bright lights, the dark place
The muscle-scape of the rat-race
They drink their liquor and spew their hate
We drink from the cup which the earth did create
If you knew the one you could relate
I'm not the one to speak about fate
She looks to my eyes, silence embraced
I'll let it be, there's no time to waste
Some say my desires will be the death of me
One day my desires will be the death of me
She peeled my chest, I showed her the way
So is this heart now hers to forsake
Take my insides and wrap them in lace
And carve my name for the lovers to hate
For nothing now will ever replace
You are the garden, the apple, the snake
Its in your eyes, its on your face
You are the garden, the apple, the snake
Some say my desires will be the death of me
Some day my desires will be the death of me

Wonder and Destruction
06:50

I only see whats in front of my eyes, only hear with these ears
I only taste the sweet with this tongue of mine
But my mind, oh my mind is a vessel of wonder and destruction
Entire lives lived within this dreamscape
That's where i found you my love
And it happens a lot really
Though it doesn't hurt me dearly
I'd say its unhealthy, clearly
The girl with the crystal eyes
Gazes and spies
Through the windows to the sick
To the people and things on the inside turning tricks
I'm the inside, I'm the itch and I am it
I'm the inside, I'm the itch and I am it
For the outside world has little effect on my state of mind
It's just chemical crimes and fractions of time that I'd find
Because time now seems to be all that I've got
And now that I'm liquid you can hold me not
I ran away when the shadows forgot, when the shadows forgot
'Cause nothing now will ever replace
You are the garden, the apple, the snake
Its in your eyes and it's on your face
You are the garden the, apple, the snake
Unpredictable, inevitable
Driven mad, driven mad
Undeniable, unattainable
Driven mad, driven mad
All the gifts that i thought were mine
The ripe fruit, the sweet wine
They made the worms crawl from out your eyes
Not alone, not alive
All you promised me within my dreams
Made me obsessed, made me unclean
Just like you because we are one
And in this dream we sleep my love
Unpredictable, inevitable
Driven mad, driven mad
Undeniable, unattainable
Driven mad, driven mad
Just like you
My desire and my death

Home Coming
06:49

Novelty, there's novelty
In everything that these young eyes see
But coming home is wearing thin
Still I believe it is what I need
Every day, each stepping stone
Brings me peace when I'm alone
So Iwill go where I'm not known
With open eyes and hope that I might grow
In the end
Just be content
It's all I'll ask
Is what she said
Long ago and far away
I was a child much afraid of change
For quite some time, not quite today
Words of loss were all that I could say
In the end
Just be content
It's all I'll ask
Is what she said
Don't be hasty
The face i see
Is smiling back at me

The Librarian
06:24

Into emptiness a slow process
But I learnt to live with it
Live with the void
My love the winter sky
The night and the light
Now she now longer shines no me
I'm surrounded by the things that i hate
And each day these feelings build and build
Happiness is freedom and freedom is clarity
Sometimes I find myself missing you
But I'm not sure if I actually miss you
Or my life's so alone anything's better now
Than being bored and alone
Unclothed on the balcony
The wind kissing skin
Watching as nocturnal hours creep in
All of the passion all the sweet sweat
The beauty, the fire, the love and the sex
Time and circumstance
The beginning the end
Your life was set before you found me
You were there and gone in the blink of an eye
Sometimes I find myself missing you
Into emptiness, a slow process
But I learnt to live with it
The void
My love is the winter sky
Now she no longer shines on me
But I'm not sure if I actually miss you
Too much time on my own and anything's better now
Than being bored and alone
And not sure genuinely want to
But it's hard to really know
When I still remember how you felt
When you moved on my skin, please understand
Why I let go and I'm sorry if I hurt you
You just had more than I could give

Comfort
05:50
|

|
I need an open mind to keep open mine
Give me the answers to the questions that I don't ask
Come to me silently if you can find me
Bare your soul and I will do the same
I am an open book, oh come and have a look
Sometimes I feel like my time is fading fast
Long gone are the days, I've entered a new phase
I must go find why I came to be
Enter within
They say the nights get cold, I've no fear of growing old
Just this fear that my time's not wisely spent
So come and take my hand, confide in me again
And know that I will never turn you away
Maybe might help you to then find yourself
Maybe joy is all in how you see you
The comfort in this skin, it begins from within
It's the love in the times when life falls through
Enter within
The wind she blesses me with unknown whispering's
She says the finest things in life are free
Find freedom, find your peace and find your clarity
Like all good things, we aren't here just to be
Though I will not remain 'til you need me again
I've songs to sing and wonderful sights to see
Yesterday is gone and time rolls on and on
I'll come back around some day
