rising wide-eyed
before the light
quiet as silence
wind touch my neck
stagger my breath
still as a moment
i'll wait patiently cause the world is asleep
dreaming pretty things
oh wonderful feeling of being alive
day by day
----
how much blood we gonna spill to learn
value of a life
I know I ain't worth all that much, but
ain't no reason why I should die
nor anyone else from
the mouth of a gun or a club
love never hurt no one
how did all our fears steer us wrong
stop and see the beauty in
the twinkle of everyone's eye
we all need help but we're afraid to ask for it
at least that's what i think is happening
and i'm up here preaching though i don't really practice
acting as if life only had one winner

snowing. (acoustic)

when you left snowing started inside
forming on my window, near to my feet
i needed your heat here, cuddled inside
an ocean of my blankets, deep in the night
in january
stains of your sweet kiss, sailing around
seas upon my skin like tracks in the snow
oh like the turning of a new leaf, new moon, new year
all in this night
in january

walk when the dew drops
moon has locked the sea away
for early morning to find
clinging words on my tongue
life has sung another day
to lift these eyes to the sky
drink up this fire, my darling
drink up this fire

love, with a voice soft as springtime
your eyes round like moon coins
you, you pulled me like the tide
close, close enough to hear heartbeats
skipping stones through your breathing
warm, warm against my cheek
then we danced like stars in the night
and let our limbs entwine
soon we left our bodies behind
they hardened with sunshine
now, i'm a man hollow-hearted
give a damn that the rust set
in between my bone
but i will bleed for your voice
and molt my skin
make me human
troubled by gray sky
the moon seems lost
in your eyes
then we danced like stars in the night
and let our limbs entwine
soon we left our bodies behind
they hardened with sunshine

overwhelm (acoustic)
03:36
|
|||
overwhelm me with patience
staying late till we're wasted
stubborn with the bottle
talk whatever we want to
till the morning
spoken softly with curled lips
mind ahead of my word spit
stumbling to think straight
with the light hitting your face
like it meant to
as the world keeps turning around
learning about how love is found
lead me leaping through exhales
seeing ripples out your hair
those eyes to find strength in
overcome with elation
bound up in blossoms of blue
as the world keeps turning around
learning about how love is found
tangled with those words in my mouth
little ghosts of us leak out
tailored to this light

circles (acoustic)
01:13
|
|||
suddenly, i'm seeing in circles
making my head spin out
changing me right under the surface
am i still all myself?
maybe, i'm everything
and all that is all around
maybe
