LYRICS:
Whistling while I walk
Soak it in
It's fashion week again in my other island
Arrive at the secret spot
We're here again
I welcome you my friend
To my other island
So private

We're losing the fight
We'll slide in the knife
When night calls I'm gone
When night calls I'll be gone

But it was just a dream

I wake up and let the sky
Wash over me
Control the sea
I know even if I cry that I'll be just fine
Cause I live the same thing
Every day
In this brutal silence

Island, it's my other island

Perhaps we could take a ride
Through singing trees
By ocean breeze
We're blinded by the sky
In my other island
So private

Red Desert

Another Island

LYRICS:
I'm blinded by your wicked ways
These clothes that must be tailor made
If I follow
Just take the blame

Fast racing
Word chasing
How can I play it all backwards?

Until I've heard it
You can't turn
I'm found in the fire
Right back to the place that I remember

You can't change me now

Now I know
Don't trust that starry glow
In the serial press

I'm turning round my back today
The fragrance of this dead bouquet I borrow
That I can't throw away

Stay frozen
An omen
Dragging it out till explosion
My life's work gone unforgiven

I'll mess you up
You think I give a fuck?
Don't try it

Lyrics:
Have you ever been told you are?
You're the pen that writes in my dreams
And I'm walking out to your car
Now your ink just turns to tar

But I get so uptight
When I don't feel alright
When we go out at night
You know you will abide by me

I'm either one of us

Almost twice I took the wrong way out
Playing nice I'm at my wit's end

Though I'm on fire
The love survives
Just look in my heart, you'll see

Crying at every loss
Happens to everyone

Almost twice

Now I'm pushed out of light
Aggressively, on sigh
Like candle to ignite
I know you will abide by me

I'm either one of us
I try every wasted thing

I'm me, only, yeah

ALMOST TWICE

Lyrics:
I just got your message, baby
So sad to see you fade away
(What in the world is this feeling
To catch a breath and leave me reeling?)
It'll get you in the end, it's God's revenge

Oh, I know I should come clean
But I prefer to deceive
(Every day I walk alone
And pray that God won't see me)

I know it's wrong
I know it's wrong

Tell me why
Is it I'm digging your scene?
I know I'll die
Baby
They put you in a home to fill in
Oh, but I wouldn't call that living
(I'm like a boy among men
I'd like a permanent friend)

I'd like to think that I was just myself again

Oh, tell me why
Is it I'm digging your scene?
I know I'll die
Baby

Lyrics:
Until I know
It's all for sure
Within my heart
It's in my body
No roads connecting me
Cause I'm wound up
Cause I'm wound up
So don't call me out
Alive when I'm following the sound

This home is just an empty house
Be careful with your answers now
So don't talk me down
Cause I'm wound up
Cause I'm wound up
Eyes get lower
Your head and shoulders
But what's your appearance
Tonight

On the front line
Why can't I stay here?
All the time
It's an ever long and distance past
Found my savior
My savior

It's not up to him
Alive till I'm following that sound
Till it's found

I'll wait till late spring

LATE SPRING

lyrics:
Hold right there
I’m not here
A perfect time
To disappear
The fadeaway feels too strong
The mask is not enough
A forest in front of everything
The chapters
The chapters are adding
Adding up

All nine
Steps by
Stay in line
If you want a lesson on

Where the soul lives in
Don’t think it’s close to me
Now the chapters are adding
Try to look for what happened
But it’s all just distractions
Clouding up my instincts

The chapters on us
Don’t have numbers
And I will take after the lovers
That broke my bones

Now the chapters are on us
A book I can offer
Just turn the page
Advice I gave
Look at me now
Look at me now

On this trip
Limping me back into the town
Can I wrap around?

The most
Mistakes
That our bodies can dictate
I'll drive
Away
Pack a bag of my headaches

Now the chapters are adding
And I don’t know what happened
Guess I’ll start over fresh and
Make a new one today

Lyrics:
try out
new ways
to grow
you can't chase me away
if i turn off the light
go slow
be honest where your home is
i can name them all in order
my possessions aren't important
i'm alone without my home and
become a stray
passing every alleyway
if only i could stay 
if only i could stay
instead i walk away

finding
progress
the hollow of yesterday
just keep on searching for an omen
grab the door and leave it open
the remnants of the day
linger in space
reality pauses my change
melody has its way
to comprise the DNA
it's biology

home at last
alone
no past

out on a line
admire the sky
the light of a life
a beautiful flight

Home Alone

lyrics:
when i’m on my back
the coin collect
and i have that cravin

of love
in my heart
and it all is swelling up
idle hands are writing all the checks

in moments like this
you're noticing your fate
my pockets overrated i never cared
i whistle on the way
hittin the coinstar

let’s get back on track
forget the facts
and it feels amazing

no more pain
in my heart
and the world can’t take the blame

go embrace every doubt

as i walk through this haven i’m looking back
the background seems to fade
and it all goes black

but i don’t wanna wake up nobody
i’ll tip toe in the place of a hobby
to ensure my head is screwed on straight

i feel alive

lyrics:
safe
where we're waiting
i laugh right back
in their faces
trial by fire with nothing to burn
working for hire with no way to earn

try to make it up in my mind
that i can make you feel so fine
i wonder why
i ruined the surprise
lightless
room i'm in
until
it's brightened by a royal flash

i wonder why
wonder why

home
different places
wish i could
get complacent
i feel like a liar when my truth isn't heard
do we share the desire?
or is it all just concern?
for all this

jolting my body like a shock
why you keep your door locked
from the beast in my own mind
used to feel it all the time
got lost in a royal flash

royal flash
(feelin the fire)
royal flash

lyrics:
you know i got that potion
i drink it like the ocean
a pirate and a nomad
i'm living on the coast, yeah
my answers through art
a lesson in a way
a question of us
have we lost the faith?

the face of another
asking your mother
attacking your brother
were we born to suffer

i settle down
i'm stepping in the zone, yeah
in the desert and it's snowing
talking a lot
into empty space
stadium noise
in my head again

the bottom is covered
malicious recover
react like a runner
did we just discover?

when the timing is right
we'll touch the sky
bombs thrown in the fight
roaming the night

lyrics:
a crisis
dominates the scape
don't like it? far out to educate
your highness, won't let it all just fade
the key mistake
in this place
that i make

i'm not 
i'm not that big
time's up now i'm in your clique
the light is out
but it's not dead

a crisis
when we press away
it's nice when 
we're out on the balcony
so trite when they think they know your name
i see the pain
on our plane

CRISIS

lyrics:
thrown out

i thought about

my one shout

did ya hear?

it feels like silk

oh dear, my thrill

out here, blind to another world

no pain

it's my time

to crave all sides

the haters, the players

is that you in my corner?

the choice to live below your means

so i just keep my thrills

flowin instant

this fever cripples enterprise

the silk

now again i'm last to rise

crushing outliers

the haters, the players

let it go

let's get our guard up, guard up

Silk

Lyrics:
Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
Everybody's talking at me
Can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave
I won't let you leave my love behind

Everybody's Talkin

Everybody's Talkin'
