Telomeres 10:52
lyrics

Telomeres Part 1 In the chattering crowd A pocket of quiet solitude Overtakes everyone In reference of what's now A resonance on a vast landscape Beam breaks through the clouds A vanishing point in the afternoon haze Bridgeway out of town Dividing the way to the unknown route Captivates everyone Sunlight beating down Clearing the way for the empress to be Ready to reign in the dark Inter-stitching shrouds sharing the fabric of the new gown Protected from distress She keeps her heart in a reliquary Faced with endlessness Remembering how she found the way here Part 2 In spite of best laid plans Unravelling dreams are strung up in the absence.. ..Of clear and present minds Fast asleep on a train loop returning Is this the tunnel of light? That takes us back to the place we departed With fingers intertwined Light diffracts Into coloured bands that split into parallel lines My shadow strobing across the sidewalk projections mirrored back retreat inside of a daydream To distract this waking life Who can take this and how long Will this phase last? Tracing footprints back Unsure of all the paths that I'm taking To search for gems in the mine The satchel breaks from this weight that it's holding I take what fits in my hand the entrance caves in, leaves me stranded Pulls the sword from the sand The howling wind draws her into the forest Cuts through the weeds and the vines A distant call makes her slightly nervous I cup this guiding light Unsure if I'll find my way to the surface Part 3 In another timeline we were strangers never to light the fuse We all have to rely on other strangers see this world gets us through I can't hear exactly what you're saying But at least I know that its you Ropes lowering down Now I'm ascending Everythings on, everthings on too soon Feel it every time I hear you saying Need you more than you think Don't have to go the way that's paved for plenty of paths to seek I know there's worlds to what you're waiting for Will they gravitate to you? Nature never tires from rearrangement everything's on everything's on Everything's on too soon A moment in time that's never ending Shooting star across the sea Did you have to rely on other strangers to get where you want to be? I know this folding has an ending But when do the corners meet? I think you noticed you've been here Everything's on Everything's on Too soon Everything's on Everything's gone To sleep

Labyrinths 02:45
lyrics

Find it hard The words to define you Nothing seems to fully say it I trust in you That you’re going to find The pattern that will finally break it When in doubt The words pass out In the labyrinths I've evaded I need to find The act of design In time I will have finally staged it If loving you now Makes my heart feel so weightless Then why would I change a thing just to be selfish I wouldn't change What I couldn't change The echoes of times of my life Long since faded Dwelling inside something Slowly erasing I wouldn't change What I couldn't change I want to hear The words that you’re fearing I will not accept replacements This pressure builds bottled up inside you Why don’t you just come out and say it? I’m dragging out My same old doubts Through this maze I keep inside the pages We don't have the same kind of time And there's no point left in waiting If loving you now Makes my heart feel so weightless Then why would I change a thing just to be selfish I wouldn't change What I couldn't change The echoes of times of my life Long since faded Dwelling inside something Slowly erasing I wouldn't change What I couldn't change

Winter Aside 04:51
lyrics

Outside Lightning comes in waves Insight For all these stormy days I can't decide Why I hardly deny the fall Wake up In the light of a thousand days In your fallout Who will take your place While I'm alive Why should I have to lie about this at all When I can laugh at the moments I've had from afar While that I know That I came here before the call There’s a hesitation standing in the way I can't figure out how you make it look so easy There a hesitation standing in the way How can I try to pretend things are fine Motivation’s keeping me at bay How can I fix what has never been right There a hesitation standing in the way Let the dust out now that winters aside There a hesitation standing in the way How can I fix what has never been right There a hesitation standing in the way

Somersault 04:03
lyrics

I need to pass the time Press rewind Raise the bar Or fall in line Tied up in My own design Can’t seem to rest my mind Feel inclined Run away or try to hide Deciding if the time is right I need some parallel Thinking streams Fighting off my own disease Trident at the Colosseum I need to keep it there Holding on Closer to this pulsing star Feel ready to run somewhere I need to somersault break my fall Swim out of a tidal wall Prove that I'm not there at all

Reversing Waterfalls 04:57
lyrics

I’m dropping from the greatest heights I've ever known All I've ever known Been living in the upward crawl Grinding stones In reversing waterfalls I could not get a word edgewise there’s undertones That I can’t leave alone Moonlight filters in through bedroom eyes Shadows on the plains Drifting in their space I won’t let these walls cave in Avoiding these thoughts of what might have been They will not pull me under If I break myself again I know I only have myself to blame I cannot let this steal me Take something from your past life Future's full of Tipping dominoes I stopped short of the land mines In Revolving doors In close corridors Moonlight filters in through bedroom eyes Light forms taking shape assembling in my days Slipping out of my sleeper hold Reassessing all that I’ve ever known It will not pull me under Laps inside this inner track Never knowing when I will go back I will not let it steal me

Mount Hollow 03:11
lyrics

I think I’m holding onto everything Till the night is over Like a fog that covers over everything Come the morning It blows over I will distract myself with everything Still feeling it all over I will subject myself to anything So it won't get any closer And in my room I try to sleep With memories flowing endlessly When I wake up from unrestful dreams I notice that you've left again I think I’m holding onto everything Till the night is over I think I'm holding onto everything Till the night is over Like a fog that covers everything In the morning it blows over From the past It will come up again Unsettling the moment These high beams reflect back at me This world is floating back to rest Like a fog that covers over everything In the morning it blows over

I Used to Dream 02:57
lyrics

When I'm here You're never home Checking by the door Like every time before You always said to me You’d fall asleep and never wake up from the dream Finding I’m losing grip in this world Feeling like its less and less of my concern I want to talk Whatever drives you on I used to dream Now the thought of you keeps me up Then I find it hard just to lose The fears of growing old When I'm here you're never home Checking by the door to see I’m not alone You always said to me you'd fall asleep and never wake up from the dream I don't want to take things with Not planning much to do out on a Saturday Tried to build my barricade I noticed that you've looted while I've gone away I might have used everything I had Feels like its never really been this bad And Now its less and less of my concern I want to talk Whatever drags you up Whatever drives you on I used to dream Now the thought of you keeps me up Then I find it hard just to lose The fears of growing old I used to dream Now the thought of you keeps me up Then I find it hard just to lose The fears of growing old

Hourglass 03:42
lyrics

She fell in her mind And let it slip Couldn't get the liquor stains off her lips Now he's storming in the rain Couldn't get the stains of blood off his fists Try to peel off the pavement Frozen to the spot until the daylight fades Looking on to see inside Far into the overdrawn, starry sky Will you come to pick me up Stay at my side Are you on the road this time Passing by Grains inside the hourglass I’m in time to make the chimes ring to pass Fighting to exist in frame No one likes to make it seem like it is While he tried to line the seams To afford the life that he couldn't break I could fall madly in my own mind Reeling in an age of thought, lives to hide Nothing lets me off Until it's time Spin around in circles At the landing strip

Suspended Animation 03:26
lyrics

I felt the world inside me break That’s not what I came for I felt the trembling dissipate The moment that I wait for I've been relying on the notion That you'll be there in some respect Well I never felt so lonesome as when your silence filled the air I'm in suspended animation I know that memories fade away And faces are erased, sure But in my dreams you animate But how long will you stay for? I've been denying all the reasons Of why I need to leave my bed Need to remind myself the season 'cause time is stuck inside my head I'm in suspended animation

One in the Same 06:19
lyrics
buy track
Thoughts enclosing In the morning light I can't decide if I will ever know The reasons why A simple goodbye Is so undebatable When life pulls you aside keeps me up at night And you already know that we’re all one in the same However many lifetimes await you You already know we’re just one in the same Verse and refrain Whether your star is fading Were all one in the same However many lifetimes await you And you already know that we’re all one in the same Release and sustain you already know that we’re all one in the same Now I know That as my eyes fade Into the midnight sky That I have The time it takes To make things right After this evening I'm giving it up I've done it more often than I’d care to know But I'll admit The weight of it Is more than I can bear To hold Up to the light However many lifetimes await you You already know that we’re all one in the same Verse and refrain You already know that we’re all one in the same However many lifetimes await you Now I know That as my eyes fade Into the midnight sky That I have The time it takes To make things right And as the waves break Against the endless shorelines Of our dreams I’m still finding Where I will go To make it out into sea And when I make this my home I know this never stops moving Moving faster where I cannot see Beyond my sight So if we're blind To the tide that waits Why not do everything we can ? To meet this life With all that it takes To get where we want to be And everyday I know I’ll find something that can help me see What I'm floating towards to comfort me
