Horizon

The colors I see on the horizon
Brought me back to the places we've known
Your hands, your mouth, just like Poseidon
Bring me back to the places we'd go.
The azure flowers that blow
Through the wind, the back & forth
The ebb & flow
Our father called us back to the stone
Where we'd wash our feet,
Our eyes,
& our tendered souls.

You lie onto your side,
I look but I can only see one of your eyes
& the trees are listening to the way we laugh
Again back & forth
In the end
Forever in the tide
You & I collide
Oh porous is my mind
何があったの？
貴方の心
もう覚えてないの？
一緒に過ごした時間を
森に行こうよ
一緒に森林浴しおうよ
そうしたら昔の事を思い出してくれるかな。
もう覚えてないの？
もう覚えてないの？
もう覚えてないの？
もう覚えてないの？
Forever in the tide
You & I collide
Oh porous is my mind
You & I...

Fraternal
03:14
|

|
Yes in the days of life & air
When love would travel from our head to our toes
Coming forth from the watery wild
The endless bounds that they both know
Son of the moon & daughter Soleil
Relative bounds help the winds keep them close
So unaware of all the missing layers
Slowly unfolding a story untold.
I looked at you at once I knew
I looked at you at once I knew
I looked at you at once I knew
I looked at you at once I knew

Before I Sleep
05:12

|
Many miles apart but I still feel the same
This is water this is water is all that you keep saying
convinced continuing this will bring more hardship and pain
tried my best to walk along, tied my hands into restraints
Take all the time you need I'm still learning how to praise
myself for all the light I've shed inside all of the rain
I'm still learning how to love not quite sure how to explain
but darling with your uncertainty I'm sure you feel the same
Before I sleep, before I sleep
it all comes back before I sleep
every stroke, every weep
rushed into so, oh it runs so deep
for what I lack when I look back it fired a hole the last place I'd seek
Before I sleep
Don't turn on yourself for this
you are not the one to blame
& I understand you always wanted things to be the same
but in order to grow, we must walk our separate ways
I'm sure I'll see you once again in this mathematical maze
Before I sleep, before I sleep
It all comes back before I sleep
every stroke, every weep
rushed into so, oh it runs so deep
For what I lack when I look back it fired a hole the last place I'd seek
Before I sleep
Before I sleep, before I sleep
I felt at home once upon a dream
every word, every week
crashed into my soul, oh the things I'd keep
for what I lack when I look back it fired a hole the last place I'd seek
Before I sleep
So hungry for everything you were
I said you're safe with me but what a fraud it all was
So sorry for all the times I said please stay away from me but also come here close
Sometimes I wish I could just grab you and shake you and shout in your face how beautiful you are,
so that you would know it for sure
but unfortunately that's not how these things really work...
Before I sleep, before I sleep
It all comes back before I sleep
every stroke, every weep
rushed into so, oh it runs so deep
For what I lack when I look back it fired a hole the last place I'd seek
Before I sleep
Before I sleep, before I sleep
I felt at home once upon a dream
every word, every week
crashed into my soul, oh the things I'd keep
for what I lack when I look back it fired a hole the last place I'd seek
Before I sleep

Was It You

Was it you who told me all the words you said before?
& if it was then please tell me what am I waiting for?
Was it you who told me all the words you said before?
& if it was then please tell me what I've been waiting for?
Was it you who told me all those things before
& if it was then please tell me what am I waiting for?
Was it you who told me all those things before
& if it was then please tell me what I've been waiting for?
I feel the love, I feel the loss
I feel the love, I feel the loss
I feel the love, I feel the loss
Was it you who told me all the words before?
& if it was then please tell me what am I waiting for?
Was it you who told me all the words before?
& if it was then please tell me what I've been waiting for?
Was it you who told me all those things before

I feel the love, I feel the loss
I feel the love, I feel the loss

I feel the love, I feel the loss
I feel the love, I feel the loss
I feel the love, I feel the loss
I feel the love, I feel the loss
I feel the love, I feel the loss

Speak Your Truth
05:12

It was no wonder I fell for ya
you we're the first face I saw after calling my own bluff
& in the time we'd spend alone
we'd write our letters as we'd fight to get back home
when I saw you for the first time out of this place
I felt as we could be, invincible, indestructible
& I didn't know how to explain my life would never be the same
once I had found myself in you & I didn't know what to say &
I didn't know how to act, I wanted you, wanted you back in my dreams
just like it used to be...
I was standing there holding a plastic bag filled with my socks and the clothes that I would wear for a couple weeks while I tried to find myself again inside a white box I didn't know what I was doing here, I only knew that I had to start to heal
I wanted to go, I wanted to return home
& then I saw you dear, something just made sense
I knew why I had to continue
I found myself when I found you...
Oh what are we working for? What are we fighting for?
Is it worth it to let go is it worth it to hold on?
Oh I just want to love, I just want to love
& collect it all around me & send it above

It's early September
All the leaves have started falling
I know everything will fall
right back to the place it belongs
It's early May
All the petals have started falling
It's been a place of solitude
When I'm alone I tend to dream of you

A Stone

I'd lie awake at night and gaze upon the northern star thinking how many more miles must I stay true, 'till the day I can fall right back to you
& I'd whisper to the birds in hopes they'd flock your way in pairs and in numbers that you could count upon, & smile for
Cause day after day this earth crumbles & is born again
And like the waves & the weeds tumble
Just remember, you are free my friend
Curious to know how you feel the moment you're swallowed by the forest
When every reaction of the world around you becomes your own
Your own, your own, your own, your own
Cause day after day this earth crumbles & is born again
And like the waves & the weeds tumble
Just remember, you are free my friend
My friend, my friend, my friend, my friend, my friend, my friend

L'histoire

The brevity of our love
Petals falling from above
The stars were all surrounding us
The moon was shining in the dusk
I know it takes a lot for our heads & for our hearts,
We will rise & we will fall, to tell the story of it all
& it'll be some time 'till I find
the connection in all of these lines
& though these things do take time
I still think of you at night
I know it takes a lot for our heads & for our hearts,
We will rise & we will fall, to tell the story of it all

Upfall
05:50
|

I try my hardest to forget what we used to have
I stuck to you like glue when I shouldn't have
I took too much time playing around
I didn't know why I couldn't hear the sound of hitting the ground
There's more to me than you thought you saw
There's more to those things you started to take all wrong
There's nothing to say, nothing to do at all
The day I saw you was the start of my upfall
You told me you wished on everything you thought you knew
You never wanted to test what you already knew
You wasted all your time
You were never one to cry, but so was I...
There's more to you than I thought I saw
There's more to those things I started to take all wrong
There's nothing to say, nothing to do at all
The day you told me was the start of your upfall
It was only a matter of time
I never knew how to love
But with you I felt
I felt alive
There's more to those things we thought we saw
There's more to those things we started to take all wrong
There's nothing to say nothing to do at all
The day I told you was the start of my upfall

The Answer
05:03

I've been waiting at the corner
sitting on this bench for years
I should go, I should go home
In every book I read I
try to find the answer
so I know if I'll face it again
Again, again, again, again
But I can't go anywhere without seeing you there
& it's spring again, on your birthday I feel
the wind
the wind
the wind
the wind
Remember me as a time of the day
cause I can't go any farther from here
We all have a home to go back to my dear
dear
my dear
my dear
