Sounds to dye the silence
the color of the air
staining time to keep the records
a voice everywhere
and every word is meaningless
never could explain
head encumbered with a queue
of things I've tried to say
I am of the night now
she is of the lights
dancing to the music
coming from her satellites
student of her shape and shadow
her curviture in space
warping all the world around us
to point me on my way home
and all the things I cannot name
that live within the strings
all for you, my little flame
I'm ready to begin

Stop feeding the ghost
hands around your nightmares throat
head moves faster than the host
stopping time to take what's mine
stop reading between the lines
there's nothing for you to find
it's all in your mind
just rewind
stopping time to take what's mine
writing poems while the world is burning down
writing words for the world to turn around
and be rewound
locked inside this fight or flight
crawl your way out of this maze
the armor made of yesterdays
change it or it stays the same
king this checker, win this game

Connect stars like dots
to light your darkest thoughts
listen to the tapes of time
crumbs of hours fall
moments are we all
it's all real and so am I
Bits of paper taped together
one piece but are you really ever
there is nothing wrong with me
maybe you did it all right

Tongue is ill prepared
for the weight of chatter
mind still races
even when the words don't matter
In the arms of some great nothing
just hold on a little longer
songs that lead you to love
I will offer to silence
humming in the night
as you ignite the darkness
In the arms of some great nothing
just hold on a little longer

Pieces from long ago
falling in place now
seasons that come and go
aging with grace now
Songs to keep the ghosts away
play play
noise to feed a quiet day
play play
chasing tomorrows
arms around today now
can we start over
no, but have another try now
Songs to keep the ghosts away
play play
noise to feed a quiet day
play play

Finding the words
the tongues to disturb
strip down the silence
reveal all the nerves
it's how you were made, so unafraid
testing this curious need to create
Time slows down for you
to be around
you can change the sound
of everything you want to believe in
stories with no ending foretold
closing your eyes as you lift from the earth
Time slows down for you
to be around
with your hands held out
to catch the things you want to believe in
to stay dreaming
to stay

Ghosts of Summer
04:52

Searching for the words to decorate
a mouth that never speaks till it's too late
leaves are falling down from branches
the ghost of summer softly dances
Wanted to ask for your sweet hand
and feel the warmth of futures pass
wanted to see the seed turned tree
reassured what we will be
Moving forward when we move at all
every color changing at your call
leaves are floating back to branches
the ghost of summer softly dances
Wanted to ask for your sweet hand
and feel the warmth of futures pass
wanted to see the seed turned tree
reassured what we will be
And you can give me to leaves and stones
to bend and shape me and heal my bones
till we are just entangled arms
reaching on beyond the storms
and as we grow into the sun
our bodies whole, our roots in knots
till we are just entangled arms
ghosts of summer forever warm

Days Without

Teary eyes apologizing
all they've seen can now see me
here for you alone my key
open now your wildest dream
Leave it all behind for now
I'll hold it till you come around
dancing in the fire now
reacting to the slightest sound
filling time with all our deeds
tell me I chose wisely please
watching all the world unwind
turn the threads into new life
Leave it all behind for now
I'll hold it till you come around
dancing in the fire now
reacting to the slightest sound
Cannot feel the sun
cannot hear the trees
all around me things are disappearing
you are at the door
here to bring me peace
you return to me all that I've been missing
Leave it all behind for now
I'll hold it till you come around
dancing in the fire now
reacting to the slightest sound
even in the darkest hour
a glow upon whatever is ours
dance for rain till I have found
the water for your tired ground

Was it all a dream
or do you sleep at all
if you do, was it you
the images and truths
Everything speaks to me through your eyes
I'm listening, I don't know how to reply
Questing for the words to say
what you've already heard
to show the things you have seen
to be what I know we can be
Everything speaks to me through your eyes
I'm listening, I don't know how to reply

Previously on old episodes
trying to be better than I could
pages to fill with mostly silence
no point to this so I will sharpen
dreaming in tones
Confessions to notebooks full of suns
love letters to light
purity in fire
Previously on old episodes
cryptography waiting to decode
am I all this or is this all me
could I have been, can I still be
dreaming in tones
Confessions to notebooks full of suns
love letters to light
purity in fire

I want to show you everything
it's not much but it's real
I want to show you all the things
I've never had the nerve to reveal
but I don't know where to begin beginning
I never know which side will win within me
Carrying years in a bag
let it go, don't look back
fading into painted words
the notes we bury in the earth
A part of every song
a part of every world you've been
I want to show you all the things
I'll never have to be again
but I don't know where to begin beginning
I never know which side will win within me
Carrying years in a bag
let it go, don't look back
fading into painted words
the notes we bury in the earth
Living between two worlds
one you've seen and one you've heard
time slowing down to a crawl
enough for you to catch it all
Hiding between the lights
waiting for a sign
tell me that it is mine
or will be in time
