everything I don't want to change is changing
everyone I don't want to leave is leaving
everything I want to change is staying the same
everyone that I want to stay is leaving

can you name all the places you were racing? 
can you tell just by the light which way you're facing?
everything I want to change is staying the same
every time I get less sure of what we're chasing

sometimes when gathered it starts to seep 
sometimes a glimmer will let you breathe  

can you feel the ground beneath us shaking?
can you tell by the way it leans which way it's breaking?
everything I want to change is staying the same
every night I can't bear to think how long it's taken

let's spend some time together, here for another day 
I'll dream of you forever, won't let it wash away

it feels like now or never, I lost count of the days
I'll dream of you forever, lets dream this all away 

just let it wash away
now

everything I don't want to change is changing
everyone I don't want to leave is leaving
everything I want to change is staying the same
everyone that I want to stay is leaving

I should just forget,
wash out the ink that's still left 
but how could I? 

all along, right in front of you
all this time, its been coming true
 
all along, right in front of me
all this time, perfect symmetry

A Beacon School - Mantra

RETURN TO VILLAIN/NATURE VILLAIN

The sound of this music is supposed to convey the feelings a person has when faced with the loss of a loved one.

Comprehending losing you

LUPO

That's the day I've been waiting for
Driving slow around with you
From the hill where the sun is lying 
Yellow strips of gold are straining here right into my eyes

And I'm glad you chose to spend today with me
Glad to see the sun burning
Silent you and silent me, waiting
For the sun to drown into the sea.

By my side now the river slides,
Looking for a sea to feed.
And I watch the wind
That blows invisible
Dancing with the wind
I think you know well the way I feel.

And I'm glad you chose to spend today with me
Glad to see the sun burning
Silent you and silent me, waiting
For the sun to drown into the sea.

It's change
It's nothing at all
It's changed
Nothing at all.

Lupo

Lyrics:
To find 
To fall
In place
At all
Decide
Alone 
I want 
To be on your side 

You will someday be alright

To hide
To fear
Inside 
So near
You’re running from
The thought
The tear
All your heart

To fall
In place
At all
Decide
Alone 
I want 
To be on your side 

You will someday be alright

To find 
To fall
In place
At all
Decide
Alone 
I want 
To be on your side
