Ghost Of Me 04:45
rest my cold face on your shoulder i miss the dancing in the rain with you place my hand into your shadow shapes of warmth in an endless dream where i can't touch you and you find it harder to sleep these days every time you dream...you can't escape the ghost of me and in between the night and the day i will lay down right here with you by your side if i'm in your mind then you're not rid of me we used to bathe these rooms with laughter walls of silence begin shivering with echoes of you we used to play these games for hours and even when you're smiling i know how it feels on the inside when i'm holding you and you don't even know that i'm still the warmth in your bed treasuring all these memories that dance in my head if only i could i know that i would wake up to where we began miss your touch and your taste and the warmth of your skin my tergiversation bleeding for resurrection and longing for you and longing for you and every single time that you're sleeping i'll be there watching you dreaming holding the candle that turns for these moments that burn until the day that you're rid of me

I Rise 04:12
we were young then chasing what they taught us to golden skies then fading into manic blue if you're not feeling high enough you don't even have to like it its just something that gets us there its just something that gets us there drink of the water we'll bathe under water drink of the fountain we'll drown under water the dreaming place where we belong that echoes in the halls of love it separates then breaks away at times your face can fade to grey if you're not feeling high enough you don't even have to like it at all its just something that gets us there its just something that gets us there drink of the water we'll bathe under water drink of the fountain we'll drown under water the dreaming place where we belong that echoes in the halls of love it separates then breaks away at times your face this is the place where we will rise rising to meet our paths of life this is the place where roads will rise caressing our feet in the sands of time this is the place where we will rise rising to meet our paths of light i wake i rise from gold to blue back to you i rise i rise i rise

Luis 05:22
little one lost your mind what has begun, what will we find and meet me in the back of your head then write letters you'll promise to send when I'm dead haven't seen me lately something moved far away maybe when this is over I'll come out and play stay awake one more hour until the moon falls asleep and stay with me over the rainbow before you wander back home help me find my way back to the bedroom ‘cause if I don't, soon I'll lose my mind ‘cause these are days that are harder now lingering silent promises haven't seen through my eyes since i disappeared tell me I'm crazy or tell me we both got carried away i still love you

so let me have my sanity because i'm not the same since i lost my mind and from this moment on we will talk in turns we will walk in lines we will bide our time making ourselves well just across the sky underneath the waves in between the hours of our darkest days we will greet the space in arms of loving grace can i get through to you? in my silent way before you lose your mind before you become me before we become one before we lose the sun in the silent calm

i wish i had wings so i could get higher and fly past this paranoia but i can't get my feet on the ground to get my head out of the cloud i feel like a child in a sky scraper building where everyone sports a coat and a tie i don't belong here i don't belong in a world full of people who are telling themselves that everything turns out alright they're lying awake at night depending on hope we love to make promises we know we can't keep but its still nice to see ourselves trying to keep us from falling to keep us alive and you said you'd walk a million miles for me smile a million smiles for me to keep me from dying and i said that i would be there when you're falling but you're scraping your knees on the pavement and its leaving you bruised is this love good enough for you cause i'm barely breathing and i can't feel alone is this love good enough for you cause i'm barely breathing and i can't feel alone so long i've been missing you so long but happiness is one phone call away

dear claudia, you should try not to sleep with your best friends boyfriend you've come so far since that time when you let your first boy in and you do it so carelessly, as if you had no self esteem a victim of apathy but you don't care what people say about you i will let you in before you break yourself it’s true that you like to sleep around enjoy it with your backside on the ground but you should know that its not your fault your father killed himself dear claudia, you leave pieces of you in each bed you lay in and when you're done there will be somebody else wearing your skin i will lay your fears right here next to mine and when we close our eyes we'll be entwined little claudia you must find another you must forgive yourself cause its not your fault I killed myself little claudia i will forgive you

here, have a seat, wash your hands, rest your feet, it might be some time before we meet again remember me and all that i've said and all that i've done cause all that you have is still irrelevant when relevant to this world one of you here seems a bit distracted, whispers in the background, walks behind the roses, betrays me with a kiss drink, take, and then calm yourself, nothing can be done to change this course of action when the dog bites then the bee stings…a conundrum to separate talking circles, walking circles…there is no way to separate and here they come across the fields to take me to my precious pilate directing me to destiny but in three days i will walk behind the sun just beyond sleep i will wake in more ways than one more prayer before i go one last kiss to ease your mind when the dog bites and the bee stings…a conundrum to separate talk in circles, walk in circles…there is no way to separate when in winter lies the secret…a conundrum to separate and then summer holds the answers…there is no way to separate

Brick Layers 05:25
living in houses, buying the bricks that build these walls raising the layers, brick upon brick to make you whole take a look. you'll see this place is desolate everybody is hiding in their perfect little houses building from the inside with no way out and i don't want to scare you but i think that you might like to know that every brick you lay is just another day you spend alone and i don't want to scare you and i promise you that i will be brave and let them hear what you have to say hiding in the cracked foundations praying no one can see fortress ourselves in the great delusion in our animosity follow this assembly line until your face is undefined until your name is meaningless until you cannot recognize why you began to build this place why you started from the inside out why you didn't build a door for god? why you didn't build a door?

she goes driving round for hours with no real destination just to find her mind always on the verge of breaking on verge of waking she laughs when she should cry and she can see invisible people but it could god telling her she's not alone she holds extra ordinary secrets extra ordinary passions in her extra ordinary soul but its a long road out of here and every step seems much more difficult and if she should fall she will be lifted up like children unto god and she can dream in different colors besides the shades of grey she sees when she's awake longing for the chance to sparkle she shimmers when she shines glowing all the time and every step she takes forward searching for the rhythm by dancing through this life graceful even when she's stumbling on the edge of sane she will find her way and she can invisible people but it could be god

when will i hold the hand? the hand inside of you so our palms come together and pray that we will shine one more day, to separate the difference one more sidewalk, to find out where it ends and she says, "it looks impossible." but its not easy when she's all over my head i want to see the sunlight from this lonely painted room i want to turn beside me while i sleep and know i'm not alone i want to sit at the top i want to see their faces when it all comes crashing down i want to fall off the high rise to prove that this will never die and she says, "it looks impossible."

Seven 04:20
i'm suddenly aware we might be worlds apart figment my imagination, i feel you there a flickering of a warmth that brings me home a part of me that's so far away, a distant essence of myself reminds me of familiarity, like someone i used to know why do you feel so far away? perhaps its all in my head, possibly me that's insane into these waves, these silent steps i take to you into this light, into my waves, come and crash into my soul compensate for my hole, every step that i take brings me closer to you you haunt my dreams, i miss you so much when i am awake you're touching me, at times it causes me to tremble please give to me, please open up my mind a part of me, inside of you…fell so far away

its been 8 days i wasted 7 for the girl 10 for every time i tried to tell myself i'm wrong its been 8 days i wasted 7 for my love 9 for every time i tried to tell myself i won't give up pour down some rain on me just let it bleed pour down some rain on me just let it bleed picture this perfect world. every time i turn the t.v. on hold onto me videos of what we used to be hold onto me every time i turn the music on hold onto me memories of what we used be picture this perfect world. pour down some rain on me. just let it bleed.
