Flamme 03:22
tongues are tied with salt from the sea bodies limber, weep o’ willow tree croon and sway, memoir in wreath singing, “when will we be free?” fumée sombre coule sous mes doigts cendres, elles cachent l’afaiblissement ame calme durant ce froid chantons quand on débarquera once I fell and once I died into fever, worlds collide sentimental, true and tried singing, “why oh why must we cry?”

Sailing 05:07
tear-stained green eyes chromatically descending framework memories ceasing all pretending our ship is sailing to the sea but I feel that I am drowning anchors to the bed below cry in humble haunting unleaven moons have come and gone amidst the village silhouette future visions flailing on by having so much more to give, and lest we forget why must we cry? cross my heart and burn my will on streets paved of desire navy skies and perfect still-shots of what once we thought was fire

Atlas Flag 03:36
subterranean fears, miles below, miles away the anguish that was lost faces peril for a day sequestered origins hide below, hide away, laced in a frost, use your fists as paperweights. I see it, I see it now what lies ahead, is already I see it, I see it now as leader of the lost I raise an atlas flag unadulterated poise through my soul, through my veins a stone cold wall is a nursery and a grave incandescent victories are figments, fragments but filaments of shame in an apricot sky I hear the sirens cry ooh, but I can dig and dig and pry but the truth, the bitter truth, will still slip by ooh, I need a fix from something alive to reassure and relent from feeling the poison behind the curtain I'm undeserving

Let Go 02:46
shimmering shades of heart splintering shards of the knife that has torn us apart casting shadows in the glow of your skin so now I sit here in darkness, paper thin hoping keys will comfort and rays will shine through but I'm seeing mirages of you let go hope encompasses my mind redefining my meaning of "all right" and I wish I could show you the notes, the words, the songs but all is lost, all has ended beyond this cross road we've pretended and I wish I could rotate to rights from my wrongs let go I don't know what this means, who we are where we'll go I want to feel your warmth again but time has ticked and fate has clicked it's not me who will make it to the end so I let go

Sunday 03:09
sunday, we just lie here watching clouds play paint a picture in the grass, and you whisper in my ear "I think we're gonna last" one touch warms us faster than the sun's blush like a blanket overhead keeps feelings free of sorrow from yesterday, till tomorrow two of us drifting in and out of woeless lust in this field of memories sparks moments of perfection dusted with autumn leaves and someday all the suffering will fade to grey as we look toward the skies I'll get lost in your eyes oh, sweet wonders and you kiss me till the sun goes down and you grab me and you spin me round and you hold me till the morning sun returns you say "cheers to memories that will float our way like our kite dancing above" as if to shyly say, "I think I'm falling in love"
