There Is A Blue

there is a blue that spills
from the sea and sky
and collects behind your eyes
and it colored in the gray of night
when you spilled your guts
and you lost your breath
and you lived too much
there is a blue that spills
from the sea and sky
and i'm soaked, my clothes
they once were white
in vain i swore as i scrubbed my stains
and i missed the point
that you burst through me
and i was made anew
a shade of blue

No Magic
02:28
|
|

|
the seconds in your veins
are speeding up
'cause the blood inside your brain
is not enough
the city runs on speed
so hurry up
and if you can't feel your feet
you're just in love
will you wake in the night?
does the day make you hide?
no magic, there's no use getting high
will it prove to be right?
to exchange your fire
for the lights in the sky
to exchange your smile
for the night
to exchange your fire
for the lights in the sky
to replace your mind
with the night

The First Time
02:54
|
|

gray over the city, the first time
stuck inside, a wine stained stomach
a headache and an unfulfilled stride
and you even called me up for the sunrise
you called me in the morning
and i went back to sleep
oh sleep
saw her naked in the kitchen the first time
stomach stained with wine
she didn't mind, the fault was mine
i've been a quiet one for a time
i've been a quiet one for quite some time
though i'm yelling through the line
"i want again to close my eyes"
wait through the rain
i'll go to the same place
painted all the same gray
for a quite lovelier face
other ones acting other scenes
share disease and privacy
but all my want a simple thing
to share your bed with you
to share your bed with you
is so comfortable

Atlantis
03:05
|
|
||
|
new light, a silent tide
slick on the streets
cold nights
the ocean snuffed the fire
and soaked the trees
my whole heart
a stormy sea
another world asleep inside of me
past lives, entirely expired
drowned and forgot
old fires are burning in my mind
are burning up my mind

Unfamiliar Sounds
02:47
|
|
||
|
they sneak through my house
dirty sounds in silent steps
though i am alone i don't know my mind
from that snowy voice
give me what's mine
all i want, every dissonant thought
what is that roar?
static where silence once was
they speak through my mouth
unfamiliar sounds
and out through my eyes shines a different light
though i am alone, i don't know my mind
what words are my own?
i don't know, i don't

Not So Far
03:25
|
|
||
|
hiding from your mother in your new house
not so far, but closer to the ground
and the wind blows a little louder now
something you needed
finding how i love you in a new town
not so far, but the difference is profound
and the earth shakes a little stronger now
it's something i needed
and i see you when i picture my face
all in lines drawn apart from the days
you still want to be young
but i think we might all stay a certain age

To Touch You
03:58
|
|
||
|
wait, what did it mean?
were you practicing or playing
sticking to the sheets
in my sweaty nervous sleep
please don't play, don't watch me run behind
as you find your love
or keep in close
just to keep yourself kind
'round my ribs, your arm, i smiled for days, i laughed a whole life
even then, in heavy times, you floated light in my mind
and yeah, i needed you but hope it didn't burden or strain
but i expect there are no wrongs when things are meant to be explained
so i don't know exactly that i'd like to touch you
but somehow in some way i know that i love you

Wasting Time
04:17
|
|
||
|
by this time, you're tumbling
your feet have left the ground
the tangled mess you're mumbling
don't make a sound
i found you wasting time
and while i was waiting outside
the freeway was painting the sky
i watched in wonder
and by this time, i'm wondering who let me down
you're asleep and innocent, dreaming on the couch
and by this time the sun is up, insisting on the day
the cars fill up the interstate, there is no time to waste
i found you wasting time
and while you were saying goodbyes
a freeway of faces passed by
i watched in wonder

Heavy Face
03:16
|
|
||
|
i wanted to find you, see you again
on your own side of the ocean
to draw deep all the air
like i mimicked your movements
in different times, with a dissonant mind
what i found there was elusive
picked up with a pace quick and heavy face
it was so loud in my heartache
"you should see the city, take some time to read the maps
why would you even come here? it's confusing how you act"
'cause we don't see things the same
i watched the water fall and you braved the rain
"to spend the day this way is such a shame"
well it might have been plain, but i was smiling
