You Even Knew
02:23
|

softly risen out of the grave
ghostly afraid but led the way
over the twilight in their eyes
over the slippery slope
we’ll be just fine
awake to take the greatest sorrows
sell them tomorrow
if only we knew
where the dew resides
when the sunshine
dries it up
fills the cup
full of morning glory
well I knew that that dew
would reach the horizon
transparent skies in
no disguise to speak of
older now you never had a doubt
somewhere in the meantime
you wouldn’t have to
scream or shout
you wouldn’t have to
sing this so loud
benevolent second hand
sing your goodnights
in the war of sunshine
single Z would you let me sleep
if all I all I need
is to be sheltering you
in my dream
sometimes I see you through
but sunshine has a view
all night I’ve been trying you
and oh my you even knew

Signal to Sender
02:23
|
|||
if I wish upon
a shooting star
would you come into view
lighting up the moon
sing songs forever
in your room
if only I knew
what happens so far away
I’d share this with you
hold you in view
never let this go far away
well I’ve been there
I knew what to do
when I’m holding you
so close
even the holy ghost
will know you’ve lived the most
with the sunshine
in the holy hymns
when the fine line
divides the holy times
in a rewind
would the clocks and time
holy rhymes be mine
signals sent out forever
over and over again
retracts to sender
there I’ve been
in the tones that blend
reaching an end
to the hymn
it’s an end that sends
the graceful hymns
over the horizon
over the skies end
cause I’ve sent
my signals out for miles
and oh child
I don’t understand
how to pretend
when I send
send the blend
to the end

Restless Dream
02:53
|
|||
once upon a sunshine day
the restless waves
have begun
pulling at the seams
once undone
restless dream
I am one
I’ll come
flourishing like everyone
cause one by one
is in the hum
of tomorrow
nourished then follow
the future is
foretold in lines
oh my say goodnight
holy light of mine
top left
station
feed the rest
top right
all night
read my mind
would the holidays
hold your name
play the game
with someone to blame
cause I’ve left
when one two three
four five six
left you out of it
cause I’ve been
I’ve been missing you
running what can I do
I’ll come
flourishing like everyone
holy light of mine
all out roman holiday
left you from the grave

One Devotion
02:31
|
|||
wouldn’t you love to see
all the colors in your dream
shine on high
a split second gone by
in the gardens of forever
you’ll understand
the reasons why the seasons turn
as it leads me on my way
it echoes of today
trails off in the night
oh my my
in the mad sad world
the holy’s beginning
to shine sometime
over the blind
could you redefine
if there was a holy altar
would you be kind
if you were making me my own
somewhere in the sky
in the traveling waters
when the grace plays
don’t you ever fake
the times we make
the glory we praise
and I know the ghost
that travels far and below
is in motion
lost devotion
sink or sail
over the ocean
one devotion
everything I wanna be
everything I’ve ever seen

We're Not Pretending
03:10
|

would the innocence
disbelieve the suspense
and leave it for the silver screen
I’ll show you what I mean
it’s when I have that sense
the sense that drifts
up up and away
when the frames looked the same
and oh would you go by your name
if you were afraid to
if you were brave to
hold out of the grave
for the savior filled your frame
there nobody knows your game
there I cannot blame
when you’re in the frame
there nothing else looks the same
how can I be afraid
when I’m left in frame
flashlight dim light soft light
flickering off in the night
fading out doubting nothing
phasing out alternate endings
ring aloud never endings
sing this so loud we’re not pretending
if I’m on my own
like the stones that led tomorrow
let it glow
cause I’ve gotta know
that you wanna show
the story of glory
it couldn’t be boring
or misleading

Apollo Hollow
02:36
|

in all of the ways
that you’re trying to see me
would you see me
when I’m wrecked
in the holy light
I’ll wrap around you
see me through
well I’ve left
in a rocket from your doorstep
in the limitless
there I’m living forever
inside of my head
the jet stream trails
leaked from your bed
explorations that held your hand
in the explanations
of how I’ve been
are hello’s and goodnight’s
I see you’re in the light
you’ll be just fine
if the hollow rhymes
that bled from your footstep
would you leave me
something new
if the hollow days
left no more witchcraft
would you sail, sail too
cause I’m lost in the waves
that bled from your footsteps
would you leaving me
believe in me too

Stones on My Way
02:57
|
|||
oh it’s on again
flash the light on
over the wicked
finding the depths
if there’s anything left
anyone less than
what you came for
where the shadow zone
meets the frozen throne
there I’ll be on my own
where I seem to see
the bare necessities
you’re my own my blood my throne
when on and on
lets you touch the light
would you believe
that nothing’s spent
like the ring
of the righteous spring
that’s holding your breath
like you never left
in spite of leaving
everything in silence
I’ll be on my way
chasing grace
after I invite you
after I write you
would you save the day
on the grace
if the stones on my way
skip your everything you say
I’ll be left astray
out of frame

Only Blue
03:03
|
|||
hardly remember
the times we sent her
if we’re together
we’re forever
in mid summer
we’ll recover
all the lines spent
all the times we went
back then forward
over and over again
in the lines we spent
would time forget
where we came out of
the darkened shadows
in the holy light
we’ll repent
when the stars align
soak it out of sunshine
cause I know I’m on time
if only the shy side of my mind
bled the rhyme
left me blind
if meteor showers
left the view
only blue ever new
solar flares guide you through
they light your room
no more doom
clutching you’ll sit and stare
when forever becomes aware
spirals guide your heart
like the dark of the start

More Than it Takes
02:43
|
|||
step back into a lullaby
as I wonder why
the trees never cried
they’ve been reaching out
towards the light in the sky
the butterflies soaring high
fluttering blistering
glistening to the swinging sing
singing of the mystery
dreaming of the remedies
clinging to the edge of their wings
like tunnel vision
with revisions
this is their mission
to open the gates
no replays no remakes
starting over
we’ll hollow out our bones
no more hollow mistakes
with a clover I’ll show her
I’m more than it takes
when I’ve grown closer
rip out my heart
share it with this place
break me praise me
bleed me in place
but I’ve been holding
I’ve been doubting everything
the sunshine leads me to her eyes
sunshine never lets you cry

Tarnished Remedies
03:45
|
|||
if such amazes
the fearful faces
like twisted laces
we’ll learn the basics
I’ll read them one two three
when you’re next to me
if I’m amazed by
the ones that phased you
the ones that played you
the ones that made you
break your home
lead your throne in the paradise
sink me lead me or believe me
it’s one two three
on our way
in full amazement
stiched the laces
left them bent
all the loops
the tugs and pulls
once we learned them
now they’re wrecked
I’ll let you hold
all the souls
in the coal
cold of night
if we’re told
why we’re holding
holding out of light
in the last heartache
holidays will wait
tarnished remedies
in the ones we need
in the holy believe
I succumb to thee
you’re the one I believe
you’re the one I need
