New Hope

New Hope, Chapter I - The Great Divide

I ran home cuz I thought I was fired
And man all these joints are tired
And I said “wait” I was waiting for a serenade
Tell me everything about your damn day
Lay me out front if you threw a grenade
So why?
Do I seem distracted to you?
It’s beautiful to lay awake in my eyes

So watch it all be enough for you to take in
Watch it all be enough for you to let in
I tried to face the great divide
It only tired me out

lyrics: 
the problem breeds a novel thief
and you conned it, ironic

you stayed with me, connected seams
and i loved it, i covet

and i needed that, i was catatonic
you carefully returned for me

calligraphic notes, stars would ink the pages
(you called my name with covered eyes)
blooming from the basement

that's like flashing hope to the patient
(you called my name with covered eyes) 
don't give them a reason

your combination i've never seen

but you've given me that, it was catastrophic

you're simply eternity

calligraphic notes, stars would ink the pages
(you called my name with covered eyes)
blooming from the basement

that's like flashing hope to the patient
(you called my name with covered eyes) 
don't give them a reason

your combination i've never seen

bubba, wait there for me,
i will find you.
wait there for me

i will find you bubba.

when you left me i was scared pup
i still hear you scratching up my 
vinyl door and running in the yard
it's baren, empty, fucked - cause i still love you 
like the last day that i saw you

now that you're gone,
i can't believe that you are.

i am lost,
i'm sorry I left you again.

they would not allow me to be there for you,
but I'll never leave you again.
i'll never leave you again.
i'll never leave you again.

i'll never leave you.

New Hope, Chapter VII - honest
Recorded 2.1.24

oh, don't let em take my breath away again
oh, I'll live forever if I could, if I could
death only matters anyway 
if you have someone to share it with
promise I won't put you on a pedestal
I'll only love you forever
and the sun's getting hotter, oh
but my hope's getting bright
one day we'll have a baby, my love 
one day we'll have a baby
in each other's arms, I love you still
oh, I could look at those brown eyes forever, and see you still

only I know how to love forever
if I could love you still
and only my friends could catch a glipse of the spark
only from the start
read your funny books
and tell me everything inside them
read your funny books
and tell me fuckin' everything

i know the music ain't perfect yet anyway
what the fuck does that even mean?
i'm recording into a focusrite
to tell you i'll love forever

baby I had a dream that you and I were in a library

New Hope, Chapter II - Red Spell

spells, we were talking bout spells
oh well, we were talking bout spells
hell, don't talk about hell
oh well, we were talking bout hell

now I see the difference don't you need me to rest
I swear my intuition tells me nothin' but the best
oh I need a good c---
so take your intuition, get your fuckin' inhibition out your mind
I don't need nobody here to see me whine
I'm crying, don't you see that I was only so depressed cause the best of the people that I had in my mind
oh why?

baby this is full regeneration, not the way I ride
I'm swimmin' no regrets and babe I only see the sky
I'm wonderin' bout the
woah, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah standin' in the way

New Hope, Chapter III - Blue Spell

this isn't what it seems baby
I'm in a dream, and I'm doing fine
still running from the love that keeps me afraid
still loving how your hair looks when it's in a braid
fell for you when the moon hit the ground and I said "oh"
still waiting for the day to come when you say no
yeah

~

New Hope, Chapter IV - Green Spell

don't you believe?
don't you believe?
don't you we'll be fine, love

this isn't what it seems baby
I'm in a dream, and I'm doing fine
still running from the love that keeps me afraid
still loving how your hair looks when it's in a braid
fell for you when the moon hit the ground and I said "oh"

fell for you when the moon hit the ground and I said "oh"
I'm still waiting for the day that you say you can let me go
I don't wait for the ways that you say "you can let me know"

don't you believe?
don't you believe?
don't you we'll be fine, love

subliminal the way that you would let me go
and the radio is running the show
I care for you I do, I do
but I only have so much for you
and I can't use all my spells

lied

"그 겨울에 너에게 전화했어
12월에 꽃을 가져왔어
그 묘지에서 널 만났어
너의 눈이 빛나고 따뜻함을 느꼈어
너의 머리카락에 나를 잃었어
욕망을 갖는 것이 죄인가
너의 것을 원해
너도 원해
내 마음을 너에게 주었어
너에게 노래를 불렀어
너의 기억을 묻었어
배와 그 선장

배와 그 선장  - o navio e o capitão
