Are we meant for each other, for all time? 
Or is there always a question arising
Does it make a difference?
Does it make a difference though?
I’m not sure.
Can I know and question at the same time?
At the same time

Can I wonder, ashamed, ashamed
Can I feel it in my bones
But not trust life
Doubt in my life blood 
Doubt in my life blood 
Doubt in my life blood 
Doubt in my life blood 

The twinkle in your eyes and mine says it all
Tells me everything that I need to know
Doors swinging in my mind
Let’s watch stars flicker in their atmospheres

As long as stars flicker, their atmospheres burning
I’ll help you define your home in my mind
With what intensity does your heart beat for mine? 
With what intensity does your heart beat for mine?
With what intensity does your heart beat for mine?
With what intensity does your heart beat for mine?

Ruminating on the Night Sky

I want to evaporate away, 
Ask myself, “why aren’t I amongst the leaves?
Why aren’t I part of the wind?
Why aren’t I part of the wind?
Why aren’t I part of the wind?
Why aren’t I part of the wind?”

Displacement leads to a vacuum, which brings change
We are born existing out of time
We are borne of starlight
We are borne of starlight violence
We are borne of starlight
We are borne of starlight violence

I think to myself, life is strange
Happiness is vague, and mountains pile up
Emotions are lost
Emotions are lost
Emotions are lost
No emotions are lost

Coins in pockets buy warmth,
Coins in pockets are cold to the touch
Huddling under the moonlight
Huddling under the moonlight for warmth
Floating in the lake at night
Floating in the lake at night

And sleeping...

Lost in the Moonlight

Waking up, it hurts, and I don’t see a single reason why
I should open my wretched eyes wide 
You’re asleep and I wonder if you’re whole purpose here is
To see yourself through my mind

And it stings to question your pure face and eyes
Cus I know they would never hide lies
But I feel betrayed by phantom fears from centuries long past
When my soul had a different memory

I feel, I feel, deja vu 
And it feels so real
I know, I know, I’m lost in time
In love, in love, in love
Am I, am I alive?

Still I’m apart from your heart, is distance the only reason why?
Or is it that I’m afraid to heal?
When you’re away I count the days when we may be soulmates wedged apart
Since all things are banished by the sun

I feel, I feel, deja vu 
And it feels so real
I know, I know, I’m lost in time
In love, in love, in love
Am I, am I alive?

Déjà Vu

It’s alright to feel in love
It’s a field encased in smoke
Ground beneath is opaque
Awake in a flurry of light

The heart knows its seachange, waves lick 
The sand and toes, tide is climbing 
Through the chest

Salty sweetness is worthwhile
It can grant a second life
The aftermath of chemistry
Flickers in your candle eyes

It’s not technically a smile, it’s more worn
It breathes inside the home of another, just as you were

Drowning colors in her arms
Over scars and buried face
It’s what breathing can’t replace
Wondering how the feelings changed
There are moments in this life
When you feel like it’s enough
Like everything’s enough
Like everything’s enough
Like what you have’s enough
To feel happy
To feel free

Trace the Sunlight on the Water

The sea, it knows it’s changing
But she does not know how to be the change that stirs her soul
All the scars are buried,
Faded from color, drowning more and more, they numb the pain
Her mind is ever-changing,
Her body fights the peace she deserves to own and finally heal
Crying can’t replace love,
Believing that she'll never know the sun when she can't see it

She’ll wake up and think of yesterdays
Distant dreams recall her youth
And it's hard to leave the bed 
She’s in a shadow neverland

Her home, it lies by the cliffs
Looking out onto the sea, hoping
When she makes her morning tea
She can feel the salty air, dry her lips

The waves help clear her mind
Filled with Marmalade, marred, melodies
She breathes, shakes her frozen lungs
And feels the fear she ran from all these years

Through the mirror, she runs away...

Sophie is the Sea

Emancipated, wildly-calling geese, 
Fleeing into the wind, holding onto our dreams,
Becoming one of the spirits sent to possess our love, 
Sent by a hand, touched as it may be 

But flawed, and simple. And genius. And that was it.
But flawed, and simple. And genius. And that was it.

I feel the wind, press me into the window, 
And ask for more. Your voice, it asks for more.
It’s so misunderstood. It’s not fair that I’ve mistaken, 
It’s love for something else. That doesn’t exist yet

And so we wait to, be released, this is our lives.
And so we wait to, be released, this is our time.
If there is more to this story I will uncover it.
If there is more to this story I will recover it.

This love lies in a different world,
Yet close to the echoes of our minds.
Swaying in the distance, a mirage. 
A space to latch our hearts onto.

Shifting dreams fill our minds with feelings, more or less the same.
Our journey resembles the soft falling snow, before the rising sun.
The sol that perpetually glides down 
To a white mountain expanse, spraying snowy mist, 

Like our breath condensing on a glass ceiling,
Dripping on the spiral staircase below it
Twisting helix, DNA that contains the past and future.
And so we wait and we wait, 
We are in time
We’re enveloped in fog. 
And in love and in love
And in love and in love

March 7th of Years Before and to Come

The way life feels, it’s as if there’s an emptiness, 
It’s as if there’s an emptiness
A certain ebb and flow that carries into the river’s edge, 
Into the river’s edge
Where the water meets an unwelcome, but necessary landscape, 
A necessary landscape

Although it hurts to see what looks like an end 
It has made my time worthwhile
And made my life something more than just a ship
A ship in a bottle and a plane on a string
Strings separate me from what hurts the most
While I swim in a sea away, apart from everyone
Although it hurts to see what looks like an end 
It has made my time worthwhile

I see the end poking through the clouds...

Underneath all the caveats and precious entrances and exits
There is always a corner I call home
It seems right if not for the space that I’d leave behind
During the fall, away from everything that I recognize

Delta (The River's Edge)

Lay down, lay down night
Feeling so close to you, your eyes
I just wanna kiss you

Breathe me, breathe me in
Feel my heart stay 
It's not just cellular love

Between, between my bones
And outside of me
It feels like falling into time

Wonder, when we're old
When we feel close to death
Will we kiss right into the next life?

Into the next life, into the earth
Maybe osmosis keeping us close
Waiting to breathe life into our song
Are we still dancing into the sky?

Feel you through my skin
Feel you circulate, your warmth
It heals me like the sun

Lay down, lay down night
Feeling so close to you, your eyes
I just wanna kiss you

Let's run, let's run now
Let's run, ascend into the moon now
Surprise ourselves
Don't run without me

Lay down, lay down night
Feeling so close to you, your smile
I just wanna kiss you
