I’ve written novels about you
On the empty pages of my brain
It’s an incomplete story
But it mystifies me all the same

I spend our conversations
Lost in your supernova eyes
I’m miles away, with a mind full of you
My body’s filling up with desire

And would you mind,
would it be fine
If I drove to you across state lines
Would it align 
with your designs
If you’re the only thing on my mind

We made it to the lake before sunset
We had the beach and a bottle of wine
You kissed me and I felt my world reset
Under the stars I lost track of the time

I could hold you till the sun exploded
Splinters of stars filling the evening air
Millions of embers drifting
Landing in the waterfall of your hair

And would you mind,
would it be fine
If I drove to you across state lines
Would it align 
with your designs
If you’re the only thing on my mind

And would you mind, 
would it be fine
If I fell for you across state lines
Would that align 
with your designs
Because it’s only a matter of time

Across State Lines (Supernova)

Begging forgiveness
Your eyes look older than mine
Not with the age of well lived years,
	More like a dream that’s been lost to time

I guess we both knew what was going on
	And yea, I know that you never lied
Still I couldn’t help falling in love with you
	It became something that I couldn’t hide

You may be honest
You may be kind
That doesn’t help me when I’m losing my mind
When the cruelest thing that you could ever be
Is anything that’s not in love with me

How is it useful
To broken hearts
To let them know that they were doomed from the start?
I saw this coming from a mile away
I’m still left standing here alone today

You may be honest, but how is it kind
	To leave me lonely and out of my mind
You’re still left standing while I fall apart
	Picking up pieces of a broken heart

How Is It Kind

A new love is looking through my window
Waiting for a moment to shine through
	And onto you
	And burn you into my closed eyes

An angel is sitting on my shoulder
Trying to hold back these thoughts of you
	The things I want to do
	That tear apart my settled life

Wistful, head aching, empty
Listing port side and dizzy
Heart full, tongue tied in memory

Watching you, I feel my life is changing
Arranging itself into something new
	I long for you
	To burn away these pleasant lies

Wistful, head aching, empty
Listing port side and dizzy
Heart full, tongue tied in memory

Wistful

I know a mind can wander
Through fields where nobody’s ever been
Through lives no one has ever lived
And I’ve never wanted

My mind wanders into danger
More than my body ever can
A vicious bloodsport where I am
Both hunter and hunted

Free To Wander

Sometimes I get scared being alone in the lightning
Sometimes I get scared being anywhere alone at all
Sometimes I wake up and I wonder if I’m dying
Sometimes I wake up and I wonder if I’m here at all

And I know it’s over,     that’s not lost on me
But I find myself missing     your company
These rococo surroundings     bring it out of me
Just give me a little longer     with my memories

It’s kind of strange watching and not being any nearer
I feel a little lost knowing that there’s nothing I can do
It’s like watching from behind a one way mirror
I see you moving but I can’t reach out to you

Sometimes I wonder what you’re thinking when you see me
When I bump into you running around town
I’m getting tired of feeling like I’m getting nowhere
I think I’ve had enough of beating myself down

And I know it’s over,     that’s not lost on me
But I find myself missing     your company
These rococo surroundings     bring it out of me
Just give me a little longer     with my memories

Afraid Of The Lightning

Birds
Eating worms
Are nested high
Above our heads
I cannot hear
If they’re singing today

Words
Pass unheard
Through the void
Inside our heads
I cannot hear
What you’re saying
Today

For all I know i’m on a different world than you
Stumbled off the path and lost my way
Dancing out of time i’m falling over you
The colors that I see all look like grey

I see
You on the street
I call your name
And then I remember
You are not here
You are not anywhere
Nearby

For all I know i’m on a different world than you
Stumbled off the path and lost my way
Dancing out of time i’m falling over you
The colors that I see all look like grey

Worms

Under the light of a glowing moon
one breath, a life finds an end too soon

grief struck
in a world of
cold indifference

but in these veins
blood remains
flowing in us

Mountains surrounded by endless seas
clouds cover peaks, sorrow blankets me

how can
i hope that
it gets better

this holds fast
and won’t pass
it lasts forever

but each breath
defies death
for a moment

may these pains 
someday wane
may i move forward

When the shadows
Steal my joy
And drop me in
A lonely void
through the echoes of regrets
May i transcend these silhouettes
Even as pain
Comes over me
In my mind
May I stay free
To find all of the love in the world
And make it part of me

All of the Love in the World

I never liked   to leave behind
	Shattered hearts, the tattered signs
Of the inability of time
To change somebody’s mind

But now my own   this weathered stone
	Is worse for wear from this load I bear
Of my unrepentant crime
Of wishing you were mine

Sleepless gloom   in a lonely room
	But then my solitude breaks and my whole heart aches
Only with your head next to mine
Does it feel like the world is fine

Nothing will change I know,   I should just let it go
	But thoughts of what could be make it hard on me
Now that my heart is on the line
To step back from love this time

You’d never tell me so,   it’s always “I don’t know”
	But your cautious words leave me more assured
Or the inability of time
To change somebody’s mind
The inability of time
To change your mind

Lyrics:

Empty silhouettes
crowd the main street
backlit by the stars
Moonlight pirouettes 
in puddles      beneath my feet
splashed up by the cars

As I spend my night out walking
I spend my night out walking

Winged shadows 
circle above me    like i’m being stalked
Along cobblestone
Catch my reflection
In broken glass     on the sidewalk
Those eyes don’t look like they’re my own

As I spend my night out walking
I spend my night out walking

I never meant to hurt you dear,
I never meant to make you cry
There’s a part of me can be so cruel
And I never know the reason why

My legs are heavy and it’s getting cold
I know it’s my fault that I’m here alone
Staring at smokestacks, and rusted steel
Can’t tell how far I am away from home

As I spend my night out walking
I spend my night out walking

If I'm Here At All

Nightwalker

When I’m in your arms
The world can’t cause me harm
Hold me

When you’re in my veins
None of the world remains
Control me

When I fall apart
You tape up my heart
Mold me

When I’m breaking down
Help me stand my ground
Boldly

(Break)

Callous words I said
Rush back to my head
Ignore me

Desperate lashing out
Cut those moments out
Deplore me

Rack my mind for days
Choose the parts to save
Restore me

Brought back from the dead
Blessings on my head
Oh glory

Aminoketone

In the early morning
I never know which road to take
It comes without a warning
I make an honest mistake

Sometimes my thoughts are broken
All I can do is play along
I find that I take chances
When i can’t tell right from wrong

		I know I try your patience
But I don’t want to, be without you
When I wake up in the morning
	No I don’t want to
Be without you     when I wake up

I was talking nonsense
To keep my crueler words at bay
As daylight turned to darkness
I felt a darkness come my way

Sometimes I feel so strung out
For no good reason or abuse
It feels like my depression
Is just a pitiful excuse

(Chorus)

Do we belong together,
Or are we scared of being alone?
Do I make you better,
Or are we better on our own?

Lately when we’ve been talking,
It seems like we should both just move on
But the thought sends me reeling
And i think we might both be wrong
	
Cuz when I think about it
(Chorus)
