Thomas White & LIA - Stardust

Come next to me
I want to show you what was lost
Before the flowers fell to frost
And never woke again
Would you believe 
The breeze could nearly drown your tongue
And every inch was kissed with sun you'll never see

You, you'll never see
You'll never see you'll never see
Oh you, you'll never see
Oh you, you'll never see
You'll never see you'll never see
Oh you, you'll never see

Goblins in the middle of the night
Got ahold of us and held on tight
Told us everything would be alright
Told us all we had to do was fight
We could own it all with all our might
We could grow another kingdom high
Take it all it's ours it's only right
Dominate the late the slow the shy

Do you recall when emerald grew below our toes that took us to and from the grove of treasures growing wild, honeysuckle miles, sweetness everywhere and overgrown

Where light could never kiss the lips of greed
And darkness only dared to spike the mead
We drank until we smiled, honey chamomile, bubbling from our fingers to our feet

Goblins in the middle of the night
Got ahold of us and held on tight
Told us everything would be alright
Told us all we had to do was fight
We could own it all with all our might
We could grow another kingdom high
Take it all it's ours it's only right
Dominate the late the slow the shy

Thought we wouldn't want to leave behind
Every hint of spring and ivy vines
How the wind did ring and intertwine
With the lindens, locusts and the pines
Didnt take us long to cross the line
Didnt think to savor, to enshrine
Those who used to lay under the sky
Those who'd lose it all to stay alive

Highland

You'll gaze at my beauty until you seduce me to ground
My energy into your everything until I drown

Energy

It started different than I thought, we were both calm
You fit into all of me
Then you got busy and big, Haber helped you along
Blooming exponentially
Not everybody has a room in this huge house
Dreaming under clouds, no cover, no food, no way out
And I thought you'd be a little more kind than that

Help me get a grip on going on with you
Do you mean to say it's not your fault,
It's just the way we build up and issues interfuse in ways we couldn't try to stop?
I'd like to believe you'd find a way to give more than you need in another life I'm still waiting for your move, how sad is it that I can't stay mad

Waiting for you all the time
Waiting for you oh
Oh I've been waiting for you oh
Waiting for you all the night
I've been waiting for you

Single Digit Story

Together in our breaking down
You don't see how we'll be defined I
Don't need you like you needed me

Heavy hearted hollowing out
You'll be departed in the twilight
I won't bring you along in my fire

Nature of the fourth kind feral ground
Out of ash
I can always grow back
And you're gone for good
Couldn't breathe
But you did it to me

I see you in the thistledown
Your energy will never die out
I'll never be the same again
Haunted memories of your life trying
Not to reminisce the good times
Over your parasitic decline

Nature of the fourth kind feral ground
Out of ash
I can always grow back
And you're gone for good
Couldn't breathe
But you did it to me

In another age we could overgrow
Wild violet sage in our own meadow
I'd hold you everyday every way I could
Wouldn't it be great but you're gone for good

Together in our breaking down 
Your energy will never die out
I'll never be the same again
Heavy hearted hollowing out
You'll be departed in the twilight

Thistledown

I need more than my peace
Will you give me release
Let me get back to me to me to me to me
'Cause you didn't treat me right
And I fed you every night 
You let me grow so weak

I've been quiet while I calculate me next move
Mental riot in my head thinking me thoughts through
A crystal clarity arose
On the severity in tow behind your apathy
Go along just as we are and watch our world burn
Every past and every present part of us cured
Purified inside the flames that wiped our eyes from playing games on different sides

I need more than my peace
Will you give me release
Let me get back to me to me to me to me to me
'Cause you didn't treat me right
And I fed you every night 
You let me grow so weak

Weak

I watched us for so long
Self suffocate until our end
I thought we would 
Evacuate before the blaze of riches killed our wishes for our hearts to change
We fished for some ambition but nothing would phase
I thought we wouldn't 
Fall so far from where we're from
And find so many ways to keep a body numb
From feeling pain originating out of our decay
Will you hold my hand through the poltergeist
It was on my land we self sacrificed
Will you hold my hand through the poltergeist
It was on my land we self sacrificed
I thought we wouldn't

If I think back in time
To how you fit inside
My world and where you lie now
It sends a shiver down my spine
I gave you all my light
I gave you your whole life
I gave until your taking took it back
And I hated how you blew away your chance to
Evacuate before the blaze of riches killed our wishes for our hearts to change
We fished for some ambition but nothing would phase

Poltergeist

To keep you in my arms is
To keep walking a tight line
I'd love to keep you warm and
I'd love to keep you all mine
But I can't go on from here

I know you didn't know
If taking's all you do then
Nothing could ever grow
Nothing could come to bloom but
Now it's been a while that you're not a child walking in the wild 
Of denial with me too

Now I'm awake I'm counting down the days they're numbered
For me to let you go, leave you be, set you down
All on your own cut your chord from my home and wander away

Isn't it a little bit out of my mind to think we could
Go on and on imploding on a marathon of borrowed hope
From who we were back when we got along
When the days could slip away
A sunny haze
A daisy's gaze
In harmony the honey bees would follow me
And you our sweetness permeating
Every mile we laid our eyes upon

Now I'm awake I'm counting down the days they're numbered
For me to let you go, leave you be, set you down
All on your own cut your chord from my home and wander away

Motherland

I'm lying in the dirt
I've been emptied of everything I was
I'm wide open for your hungry eyes
High up looking down on where I lie

Still coarsing through my veins
Where do we go after the pain of
Leaving behind the ones that we love
Aren't we tangled together indefinitely?

I'm in awe of every autumn's falling
Winter on the way
I've been enchanted by the dead and dying
Nothing's here to stay
However the disregard for all we are and all we've ever been
To ride in cars and cook in lard is much to my chagrin

And all that I can do is sing dadadada?
It's all I can do, all that I can do

What if there's no coming back again 
We've been on our last hit
Been over-masking
Fear about the future and our present
With over spending and underwhelming
Promises from people stuck in blind bliss
Don't care to miss this home as we know it
And all that I can do is sing dadadada?

And all that I can do is sing dadadada
It's all I can do, all that I can do

Lyrics: 
I don't love it when you put your hands all over me like I'm meant to provide
Pick me bare until I can't bloom out a single seed how do you sleep at night
You cut me down, you come around, you're so entitled
On my ground we've been unbound caught in a cyclone
See me now, see how I frown upon your folly
Leave me out or take a bow and let me lead you
To the clouds, back to the garden where we started
Where we loved into each other
I’m your mother and your lover and your daughter
I’m the soul behind your eyes and every color in the setting skies
I don't love it when you put your hands all over me like I'm meant to provide
Strip me bare I’ll bear it all for you, you’ll never see how much I give you life
You cut me down, you come around, you're so entitled
On my ground we've been unbound caught in a cyclone
See me now, see how I frown upon your folly
Leave me out or take a bow and let me lead you
To the clouds, back to the garden where we started
Where we loved into each other
I’m your mother and your lover and your daughter
I’m the soul behind your eyes and every color in the setting skies
Every day you see me at my edge, dangling legs
Over the abyss on jagged cliffs if the wind would
Hit a little stronger I could slip, wouldn't miss how
Barely there I am with you now
Then my body could float high
Yeah my body could float high
You won't hold me down
And I'll live up in the sky, in the sky, in the sky
You cut me down, you come around, you're so entitled
On my ground we've been unbound caught in a cyclone
See me now, see how I frown upon your folly
Leave me out or take a bow and let me lead you
To the clouds, back to the garden where we started
Where we loved into each other
I’m your mother and your lover and your daughter
I’m the soul behind your eyes and every color in the setting skies

Lyrics: 
My body wasn't meant for this
I've taken out a memory
Laid it down at the precipice
The ocean ebbing under me
I think about the way it was
Before you were all over me
I still recall the calls at night
From loons under the moons we see
How did we get so deep into the depths of greed
How come we say we care but in a haste we flee
Away from any admittance to the reality
We live inside the sin of hiding our defeat
Now I don't care if you're out
I've waited past far too long
You know I'd share all I have
I know you'd dare take it all
And if you did
Wouldn't you miss
The way the morning collides
With how we sleep in the night
The howling speak of the wild
The hollowed trunks in the quiet
How did we get so deep into
Deep into the depths of greed
How did we get so deep into
Deep into the depths of greed


How did we get so deep into the depths of greed
How come we say we care but in a haste we flee
Away from any admittance to the reality
We live inside the sin of hiding our defeat
How did we get so deep into
Deep into the depths of greed
How did we get so deep into
Now I don't care if you're out
I've waited past far too long
I know you'd dare to take it all
I know you'd dare to take it all take it all

Feel me underneath your skin
Holding onto life with nails hammered in
Pin me like a poster hangs 
Line me like a wooden frame splintering

Shiver cold on my spine 
Quivering lips of mine
Shiver cold on my spine
Quivering lips of mine when you take your time

Run me like a faucet flows
Shut me off but I still leak, no control
Can't seem to leave me alone
Hungry like a hound in heat bites a bone 

Shiver cold on my spine 
Quivering lips of mine
Shiver cold on my spine
Quivering lips of mine when you take your time

Oh you're soft as silk a mix of caramel and milk on your skin and bones
Sweeter than the sun you give the boys quite the run you offer all they give you none 

"Can we just be skin to skin?" he says and then she lets him in her bed but lonely mornings still she dreads
"Can we just be skin to skin?" he says and then she lets him in her head her heart so warm went cold and dead

Rushing brushing past another hiding heartache undercover losing yet another lover 
Vicious cycle drives her psycho keeps her up all through the night oh relapse on her mind she bites so

"Can we just be skin to skin?" he says and then she lets him in her bed but lonely mornings still she dreads

Cast me away, strip me naked
I can't hate, but I'm not motivated
Fakes and phonies win but I'm not into that
Bleeding nose and kin cannot save a match 

Loners linger longer in the woods and then they're gone
With numbing juices flowing strong wearing nooses around their hearts
Holding onto what went wrong

Hide & seek
Dirty palms
Silent speech
Twisted love
Blinded she fucked it up 

Lay me down in my grave in my grave
Won't go down without grace and a covered face

Feeling fast and furious
This can't last I'm curious 
Can we run away? Sip on the Kool-aid?
Play their game

Knife to eye 
Straight lace guy 
Fraying sides 
Ride of his life 
Held on tight

Lay me down in my grave in my grave
Won't go down without grace and a covered face

Maybe we'll float together
Maybe we'll see above the trees
Baby despite the weather
Count on it being you & me

Promise me 
Won't you come with me
We'll float forever 

Maybe we'll die together
Wouldn't that be a fantasy
Latch on tightly to the tether
Connecting the hearts of you and me

Float Together

I've been walking on a path
Following the crumbs you left
Hoping that you're gonna come
To scoop me up and then we'll run

I've been going for so long
And it's starting to get dark
I know a chill is going to come
And leave me shivering all alone

I'm out of control

Guide my hand cover my eyes
Give me purpose yeah it's worth it
Wondering if you're gonna curse it
Color everything in white
Sanitize your manners so that I don't stand a chance romancing
Rudimentary fantasizing
Rules revitalize a heist of
Sanity and peace inside me
Gravity won't hold me steady no more

I'm out of control

Take me take me to the woods
Bathe me in the blood
From when you scathed my skin dripped it down
It dried in wind's silent sound
You turned me inside out 
Here but not around
I was lost still not found 
Running on crumbling ground
Trusting to tumble down

And I need to
Hide my eyes
Hold my bones

Take me take me to the woods 
Lay me in the sun 
Brown my skin from fair
Drown daisies in my hair
Nourish me from bone
With milk and honeycomb 
Keep me hidden in the grass
If you don't tell ill never ask
I couldn't think of going back

To where I need to
Hide my eyes
Hold my bones in your arms

To The Woods

Where are you I’ve been
Searching for you far and wide
Thought I saw you in their eyes
But everyone was just a guise
Tell me your name I’m tired
Of trying to guess which one is yours
I’ve been through a few fellows but
Nobody could give me more

Come out from where you’re hiding and
I’ll show you corners no one has
Olly Olly Oxen Free
You’ll never lose this game with me

Hide from me
And I’ll come & seek

Catching on corners 
My shoulder’s been warmer before now it bites
Packing a fat lip, can’t have this 
My madness destroying the ice

It’s been a long, uncomfortable road
You wouldn’t send me sovereignty 

Hide from me
And I’ll come & seek

I lost my faith for a moment
and darkness fled upon my eyes
I hunted hate before frozen
by winter's cloak it swept me from my pedestal of pleasure where I sat so high
fell so fast I lost my hedonistic mind
distracted by the hindrances that caught my eyes and pulled my body deep from where I tried to hide

but I found a way through dawn and day and night
I healed my mind with milk and light
now i'll never let it out of sight

tie up your strings to my fingers
and play me like pinoccchio
this darkness stings as it lingers
and covers me from head to toe
it sinks into my skin
it drinks up everything
it sucks out all my being
till im left with nothing 

I found a way through dawn and day and night
I healed my mind with milk and light
now i'll never let it out of sight

Milk & Light

A smooth take on a smooth song to sooth your ears <3
