Black as the night, Bright as the sun You’re the wind at my heels; you’re the hot smoking gun. You’re holding on to shadows of doubt Can you grasp onto the reason before your feet hit the ground You’re holding my head under water You’re taking my air I need to breath You strike a flame, a light goes out I’m the one you slowly tease, I’m the man without a sound You’re holding on to wood for the fire To fill the hole in your chest where your heart used to lie If I could find a little piece of sanity and finally rest my head You could be the gentle breeze that lifts me and carries me downwind But rather you’re the all-consuming dark when I can hardly see…

Standing alone waiting Drenched to the bone it’s still raining down Why can’t you feel something? Is there a flame burning still? Where was the place it went out? Only when you finally fall Will you see the pain you’ve caused to me. To me. I won’t waste my I won’t waste my time on you Sit here alone thinking We used to be something Is there a place for our empty parts? Only when you finally fall Will you see the pain you’ve caused to me. To me. Only when the seasons change Will you see the mess you’ve made for me

Home 04:12
With you I’m alright With you, I can fight All that this world will throw All this angst and hate And I want to take on my life But I’m naked and I’m drowning in the ocean We you be the hook that baits and catches me? Home is with you So tell me I’m alright With you I’m alright With you, I can find All that this world can sow Intertwined with fate Is the choice to make up my mind... If you’re naked and you’re drowning in the ocean Let me be the hook that baits sets you free

Seasons 03:40
Close your eyes in the night Rest your mind in the growing shadows The day’s heavy it’s weighing you down and my Solemn notes ain’t helping you darling I can’t see the spring in your step Can you wait, for another season I’ll take you away I see us walking in the rain I see you dancing through fire I see you walking me all through winter into autumn resting in the endless summer lights Stepping out in the light Morning cold air kisses you gently A welcome change to the dead of night and I See the life fill your bones like it used to I can see the spring in your step But can you wait, for another season and take me away And so I close my eyes in the night Rest with you in the welcoming shadows The day’s heavy it’s weighing me down but I know the seasons are changing
5.
Lately I can’t seem to find the hours It feels like petty things are taking up my days Talk is cheap when you can’t find the time To find the right excuse so I don’t have to pay The piper’s toll… But you blame it on me Lately I can’t seem to find the lines I’m choking up the words to you I meant to say Apologies are easy when they’re lies It’s so much easier to bend the truth and let you win this time Just blame it on me Reaching through my head to find the words I wish to say all the time, all the time Then I could finally rectify the way things seem to be All the time, all the time
6.
Talkin bout a state of mind Talkin bout the way I feel Talkin bout a state of mind Talkin bout the way my feelings Come back to haunt me And take me to the days Where the darkness caught me And turned my path away Say the words, you could make it right Take the weight of world from off my shoulders And like a beam of breaking light You take me higher than the sun Talkin bout a love of mine Talkin bout the way I feel Talkin bout a place and time Talkin bout the way my feelings Come back to warn me And keep me from the days Where the darkness caught me And turned my path away You make me feel alive again You make me feel alive again
