Lyrics:
I had lost my mind
I got lost upon its finding
Hibernating smiles
All the time that's not rewinding
As my body fails
I retry to be reminded
Of a dreamer watching the big screen behind his eyelids

Bitter eyes are trying
Not to see well
The memories are hiding
For my own safety
It seems the world is going crazy
But it's just me

I can see the end
Now if only it would blind me
I just need a friend
To escort me to it kindly
I may be afraid
If only I just looked behind me
Maybe this is where I
Finally
Find myself

The Haunted Flower

Letter From The Terrace

Part of The Haunted Flower EP - October 1 , 2021

Stay away
I won't say who
'Cause I've seen gray
Make another gray blue
Where have I been
I've stopped paying attention
To everyone's intentions
I've gotta get through

It's been unfolding
Through the years
Reflections aren't always as they appear
Now I need something
I can say
To be convinced it wasn't always this way

Open your mouth
No one can hear you
Or understand
Where you're coming from
Will this just sink lower
Or fall into place
And I can't stand to
But I run time's race

It's been unfolding
Through the years
Reflections aren't always as they appear
Now I need something
I can say
To be convinced it wasn't always this way
I have been moving
Through the years
And now my sights are just a little more clear
Guess this is something
I can say
To be convinced it hasn't all been a waste

Something I Can Say

Part of The Haunted Flower EP - October 1, 2021

It's been pouring for some years now
Soaking trees have watched their leaves drown
In the flood, they cry to mother
Clouds provide the need for cover

Meadows bloom with haunted flowers
Shadows loom at darkened hours
'Til your grip of life releases
Leaving you drenched in your weakness

Behind
Our faces
They hide
In dark places

Not everyone feels it equal
All the broken minded people
Begging please just let the sun in
But the rain just won't stop falling

Behind
Our faces
They hide
In dark places
Inside
Dark places
They hide

Plastic Figures
