By the Pond

gray and misty air
i breathed it on my knees
i dug my fingers in the ground
planting them like trees
i ran them through the moss,
just like you ran yours through my knotted hair
a heart ten miles across
but you would not share
the dirt cast memories aside
as i brushed the dew
i threw familiar skipping stones
past my point of view
they bounced off their reflections
just like you gave into despair
a heart ten miles across
but you would not share
hold me once again
don't be afraid to try
broken we may be
but love's not one to lie
a heart ten miles across

Lost at Dusk
06:06

i can see my the work my lungs are doing
pouring out with mist
silent barks and mosses, growths of hiding
tell me all you know
and i have yet to see the woods align
i've let my limbs grow wild
and i will pay with what means the most to me
evenings, fresh and mild
branches trace dark patterns in the soil
that shadows follow
willow wisps and silhouettes are mourning
trees that i don't know
(drink the air around you)
(sacred fog surrounds you)
night will soon be upon me, and i'm back where i began
disembodied wanderers guide me by my hand
will they lead me from this place?
or will they never let their numb embrace?
and i have yet to see the woods align
i've let my limbs grow wild
and i will pay with what means the most to me
evenings, fresh and mild
and i have yet to see the woods align
the night has left me blind
and i will pay with what means the most to me
i'll leave it all behind

Floating by the Edge
03:27
|

the river's lights are dim
but i can still see you grinning
your teeth are made of stone
it's a fitting sight to see
the glimmer in the field
it's a haunt but a hopeful
one at best
lights are kissing
floating by the edge tonight
let me be one
kill me by the water, bear me underwater
lights are kissing
floating by the edge tonight
let me be one
kill me by the water, take me underwater
no, no, no
it's not fair
no, no, no
it's not fair, it's not fair, oh!

let me be one
it's not fair

The Welcome Party
05:46
|
|||
no one cares what you do
as long as you don't do it to them too
which makes me realize
no one will find my body
and i think back to the trees
the spirits brought me to my knees
and so i've become the antagonist
to my own story
i drift over my pale glow
like the stones i threw so long ago
which now act as headstones
to that which i once called home
the welcome party is now here
their haunted faces look so familiar
i'm ready to guide the lost and lonely
and those who roam
please remember this
nothing, oh nothing was your fault
oh, my love
i'll see you in your dreams
i hope you break your gilded cage
of emerald jealousy and ruby rage
i don't care how beautiful
it may seem
and we are wiser than the kings
love no one, love everything
please remember this
nothing, oh nothing was your fault
oh, my love
i'll see you in your dreams
