Twelve Hours

Twelve hours on a plane
Walk out and nothing changed
It’s not how the streets are paved
Same state just a different name
How long can we be
A product of you versus me
Looking in the mirror straight
An older but familiar face
Two hours on a train
I wish I could have stayed
In those long gone summer days
The light is on, but I’m afraid
Who will take the blame
Doesn’t matter anyway
Childhood me, we are the same
But one’s left standing in the rain
If you ever make it out here
Would you burn your hands
Helping me help myself drawing pictures in the sand?
Twelve hours on a plane
Up here I act the same
Looking out the window pane
Wonder if I’ll ever change
Call it by its name
When’s the expiration date
How much of this can I take
How long til the mirror breaks
Two hours on a train
I wish I could explain
The heaviness of summer days
The light’s still on, but that’s okay
Who will take the blame
We gave up anyway
Childhood me we’re both ashamed
I’d take you in, but it’s too late
If you ever made it out here
Would you burn your hands
Helping me help myself and still not understand?

Gulliver's Bride
03:04
|

Gulliver’s bride lays awake on the night before trial
Gulliver cries over the ways they could have lived
But his hands are tied
What is my crime, so severe that I would have to die?
Gulliver sighs. What did I get us into this time?
I wish we could just leave this dream behind
Wake up from this journey without having to die
Together we could do it, admit we failed but tried
In my life I wouldn’t see it, but now I’ve come to find
Distance doesn’t matter if you’re really chained inside
Finally I’ve succeeded, found truth but at what price?
If I stand before them and they should take my life
I hope that it’s just like sleeping I can dream a you and I
For all time
Gulliver’s bride lays awake on the night before trial
Gulliver cries and says whatever it is I did I would better my life

Any Day

Any day you want to come around
I’ll be waiting for you, but I can’t be found
Any way you want to come around
I’ll be waiting for you, but I’m too proud

Palindrome
03:24
|
|||
Lung wrapped in skin
The outside caught within
It swells, but doesn't burst
Biting my way back, shine down numb and warm
It shrinks, but never chokes
Cough up words
In reverse
Yearn then search
Life’s rehearsed
Remember words
In reverse
What came first
Life’s rehearsed

Lion
03:00
|
|||
In my dream a lion weeps
Waits for me when I’m asleep
In my dream its judgement creeps
Wish we’ll never get to meet
In my dream I leave before I’m seen
Yet it cries, it waits for me
In my dream I leave before I’m seen
I was found blameless before Me

Truth Is
02:36
|

Lightning struck, it came to life
After playing dead with all its might
Sky lit in the dead of night
That’s all it took to change its mind
I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine
We could live on borrowed time
When we touched I came to life
But when you leave I’ll still be dead inside
