So you're a realist?
Oh really?

We're lost in this maze between cities
it's such a pity
we have no time left for today.
Our legs are worn out so lets sit and play video games.
It's quick to take the toll roads
But it pays to drive the long way home.
Could it be the weather,
Or this urge to help others that makes me feel better?
I'm soaked from the rain, the cold's in my veins
I'll find inspiration somewhere in this place
I'll find you in this place
We're lost in this park on a Sunday
all the rides are empty
Because people here still go to church
to save their souls.
I'm not so christian anymore.
Could it be the weather
Or this urge to help others that makes me feel better?
Asleep on the train, all worries will fade
with the feelings of being homeward bound again

Astronomy

Curly hair, have you seen all the stars that are out there?
Know that when you do I'll be seeing them too
but it's only astronomy to you.
Drawn in, the universe begins to spin.
Time, for me, is stretching thin.
But there's no escape, there's no leaving this place
and there's nothing that I can do.
I've been wondering why
you've been so far away like tomorrow seems to be
because it will never come, unless the earth rotates.
But it stopped,
it'd never been so still before the day my heart dropped
The gravity, it's pulling me, inside it's slowly ripping me apart.
You're the mass thats at the center of the dark.

I wish that I had the voice to sing not a voice to cry
I wish that I had the voice to sing, keep you from crying.

I Was Afraid
03:58

You were so cold.
Not only because of the weather that day
You said that we need to communicate
but I was afraid of what you had to say.
Feelings unfold
in the letters I kept that were enveloped
to keep you from knowing what I feared most.
I was afraid of what you really think
about my weakness, about my flaws.
You can call me whatever you want to
but at least it's you I'm not.

Brittle Bones

I've been feeding the anger within me
An animal that's homeless and starving
It wants to take down and eat the insides out of
anything alive and lonely.
I've been feeling the fear within me
A wind that blows so cold, it's freezing
these brittle bones
and a heart that is so bitterly alone.

Must be the tv, or is there really something wrong with me?
I can't just fill up the empty with nothing but glee
Oh God, who knows just whats at stake?
To think that all of the paths I might take could
lead to the same place.
I've so longed to share my voice with you.
One of these days I'll know just what to say
and I'll say it to your face.
It's never been easy knowing that you're so high up above me.
I can't just give in to dreaming and forsake what is real.
My life, I've been nothing but afraid.
My mind, as silent as the grave
until you came, until you sang
Oh God, what a chance to take.
To think that all of the choices we've made have
brought us to the same place.
I've so longed to sing this song with you.
One of these days I'll know just what to say
and I'll say it to your face.
