Vow of silence

A vow
of silence
Always love the broken things
In you
I’m so gone
Clinging to your every word so dear
and i know
You cannot see me like this
Too long
In waiting
See you in most everything
Each time
we’re flying high
Know that when we fall it hurts so much
The summer ends too fast
The fall turns us to rust
We’ll wear our crown tomorrow
You know I’ve got your back
You know I’ve got your back

Daisies

Under the sun
they say it’s nothing new that can be done
But still we changed
on the inside, we went separate ways
When I was young
I used to dream about who I’d become
Tears in her eyes
are the lovers who take their time
Count up the stars
well that’s how many times you broke my heart
They say we’re through
but you need me like I need you
Why trade the curse
for another one that might be worse
Only in dreams
oh my darling, don’t cry for me

Little one
03:58
|

|
Little one, you flew too high
on your left and on your right
there is no one to rely on
All those pictures in your dreams
none of them are what they seem
crumble right before your eye
Little one, I wish you’d call
hear you singing through the wall
there is so much love inside
Of your heart i can’t believe
we both said some messed up things
took advantage every time
It’s alright if your friends don’t understand you
It’s alright if your friends don’t ask
How’s it feel now?
Little one, you moved out west
put our problems to the test
holding on to what you hope for
Letters opened, never read
Doesn’t matter what they said
You can never change my mind
It’s alright if your friends don’t understand you
It’s alright if your friends don’t wanna ask about you
It’s alright if your friends don’t understand you
It’s alright if your friends don’t ask
But how’s it feel now?

Gaslight

|
In your absence now
I remember how
Scattered, lonely fires
burned on through the night
Try and kick the habit
The year of the rabbit
Bell that goes on ringing
like you made a big mistake
Lay your weapon down
and i’ll turn around
Then the heart goes dark
like a muted spark
Hair messed up as always
as you pace the hallways
Looking for a reason
to forget your big mistake

You were 18, had a baby
people look round the room
anywhere they can but at you
We were singing happy birthday
been a year since you’ve been here
blow the candles out and wish that it’d come true
Cause everything is fine when i’m with you
Sometimes our lives
get so long we forget
how it feels on the outside
I know somewhere, we can stay there
lay low for a while
let the world pass us by, just you and I
Everything’s alright when i’m with you

Summer's tale
04:57
|
|||
|
I won’t come back here again
so we don’t have to pretend
Like you’d show up if it were me
but there’s so much that you don’t see
With every answer the question grew
can I be myself when I’m with you?
Felt like the sun had been shining too long
we all get burnt sometimes
Tell me you meant everything
A bird that don’t fly can still sing
And I know you have to go
but there’s one thing that you should know
With every answer the question grew
can I be myself when I’m with you?
Knew that the feeling was lasting too long
we all get hurt sometimes

Persephone
02:28
|
|||
|
See the days go by
last of this one’s light
well I don’t know why
it happened again
and I can’t say I’ve
been a good friend
Oh Persephone
always out of reach
close your eyes and count
count the ways I let you down
While they washed your feet
gave you seeds to eat
then they took you down
against your will
and I guess you found
some time to kill
Oh Persephone
hide your mother’s grief
close your eyes and dream
dream the ways I let you down
Sometimes
Sometimes

I'll be your star
04:59
|
|||
|
Throw me out the window now
I’ll be your star
Win or lose, pick and choose
We play our part
When we fall no one calls
We all get scarred
Tell me your name as a fraction
Judgement is just my reaction
Throw one down the wishing well
I’ll be your dream
All on red’s what she said
Bombs on the beach
When we fell, it’s just as well
Tear out the seams
Tell me your name as a fraction
Judgement is just my reaction
Throw the dice in the ring
I’ll play your game
Safe in bed, left for dead
One and the same
Then we start to come apart
Who can we blame?

Your eyes on mine
04:10
|
|||
|
At dawn she wakes and i’m gone
Into the room of the world i am long
The stars and wind between stars
Who can see clearly through tear clouded eyes?
Your eyes on mine
She works from morning til night
Puts in the hours most days of her life
Sometimes the thought wrecks her mind
How did i turn into something i’m not?
Your eyes on mine

I don't wanna know
02:13
|
|||
|
Sometimes i need a sign
that my life is really mine
Little distance in between
my world and the cell phone screen
I don’t wanna know
what you do when you’re alone
Said your heart is like a home
there are rooms that you never go
Now i’m standing at your door
wondering what i came here for
I don’t wanna know
what you do when you’re alone

Only mirror
04:11
|
|||
|
Now it’s time to say goodnight
Let the curtain fall
Slow dance to the radio song
Watch the world grow small
I guess it’s something in the way she says
I don’t know what I’d be without you
My reflection in her eyes is best
Can i make you my only mirror
Let me right what i’ve made wrong
Is that up to me
Can they see how far we’ve come
or who we used to be
I guess it’s something in the way she says
I don’t know what I’d be without you
My reflection in her eyes is best
Can i make you my only mirror
Nothing left to say
