Silhouette 03:20
silhouette only your outer line shape of my indecision as of yet details are undefined true to your definition i doubted separated by some eclipse found the right words but they only died on my lips they always die on my lips silhouette you must be something real remember the time it's taken thought i'd forget come on now, it's no big deal you'd think so, but you're mistaken i'm tired and everything disconnects but i can't wait to find out what will happen next tell me what happens next i always miss, inanely what others see so plainly it takes a time or two for me with every color graying and every word you're saying losing all trace of clarity
2.
it's beyond me how i could have missed it wasn't supposed to end up like this written all over my face desperation and self doubt gotta get back to a place where the sun sometimes comes out leave it all without a trace and drop out say the word i'm waiting, give the sign every element of your design out of sight your wishes never show say the word and just like that we'll go paying for the things i've long ignored holding on to dreams i can't afford aspiration in arrears leaving me pale and grim-faced and the ever passing years waning too few now to waste we can't wait until it clears so make haste
3.
i need to start up again something to get me excited places where i've never been i need to begin take me through the open door where to go cannot conceive but i know that i can't stay here i need somebody to see someone to believe that i can do something more after a while you could forget what you've heard another mile, but know i meant every word stay here with me, while i am passionate yet for i won't live a life ordinary in regret i need the sun on my face warm me up to the idea quickening every pace revealing a place where i can be satisfied i'm often in sight i wanna be there there's no greater height of this i'm aware never before today even outside a dream did so far away it seem from where i sit a mile high i could give up i could go on
4.
Material 03:35
you know it's always difficult to trace the subtle expression moving on your face this side of you i haven't ever seen before asking me if i ever want something more i do there's melody in everything you say striking a chord with me that i can't play all cares suspend from start to end of your simple symphony the sound is clear refrain sincere do you feel the same as me? i do
5.
Plume 04:07
set it up burn it down and in vain the fires will erupt and surround but the pain inspires warming hands by the heat that i'm doomed to repeat again and again beneath the spreading flame under the poison plume i always feel the same whenever these thoughts i assume you'd better know your way though this you're choking on your every care just fi nd a way to breathe the thinning air it's a game it's a toss probably regret it it's the same at a loss and i still don't get it i think it's time now to show i've moved on i've let go can you feel it? can you keep it up? can you say it? or have you said enough? i think i've found a way through this i'm swallowing my every care and now i'm breathing in a new days air
6.
Mulberry 03:52
i'll take the lead catch me if you can one final look we're never going back again come on you can't miss follow me and see you're making this harder than it has to be it's in your eyes i can't explain not in disguise but not the same do i even know you anymore? falling apart this i can attest but i know your heart continues beating in your chest when to begin? tomorrow, so you say i wonder when tomorrow will become today try to pretend there's nothing wrong are you the friend i knew so long? further delay should i do some more? what could i say that i haven't said before? if i could do one thing, certainly i'd inspire you the way you once inspired me consider this the choice you make before you bend so far you break there's little left of hope, i mean the rest of it is vanishing
7.
taken back by some other way 'till i've another one still, it's unnerving this small force today what can i say i'm numb overhead the greatest moment has come but has fl own to high to be of use to an ordinary man even one who tries and although my hope does retire hope that it might return though by myself i could start up a fire the flames would no longer burn
8.
driving nowhere driving fast and the days are fl ying past my momentum slows and i brake for the coming turn circle once around the block taking notice of the clock it turns out of time and in spite of my will skips a beat while my heart stands still think you'll figure it out? think you'll ever begin? think you'll ever amount to much? do you think you'll win? gotta plan got to devise getting older but never wise i've a dream that won't pay but that's all pending it's in my debt for the years i'm spending give me something to say give me something to do something other than what i have give me what i'm due
9.
Seed 03:58
intent on coming clean unfolding with the scene and on the paper waded and tossed on the floor she idles by and counts the days while pressure mounts sick with regret and fearing all tomorrow doors once open now are shut maybe they're not locked yet, but do you wonder? is it too late? was it worth it? was it so great? do you wonder how different everything might have been? and could it be again? i can't know how you feel no wisdom to reveal but it's hard to see you bearing all this by yourself won't condescend to you there's nothing i can do for what it's worth, though, you can make it through this broken heart and broken will and you're not broken yet, but still disappointed, i confess but i don't love you any less
10.
walking it hand in hand and free while you're impacted don't you go and abandon me when i'm distracted begin again and i'll be fine what'd you mean to say? i'm having a most difficult time hearing you today come on up why are you waiting? do i have to say i'm sorry? would you consider staying another day in spite of the things i've been saying? so i can make it right don't fall out of line so name the place i'll meet you there you stopped and then said €œbut i wasn't going anywhere, how'd that get in your head?€ how soon do i forget i must be slow haven't got it yet do what i must, i guess that's fair but i face it with dread can i be candid angry and honest insubordinate, too? look where we've landed see where you've brought us i'm losing faith in you
11.
goodbye to what if hello to never so long to someday too just dig a hole and put my coffin under how many times have i tried to sever? how long until i'm through but if i let go i know i'll often wonder so never run i can think a way out of it don't pretend to know how but i know why try to swim but don't sink come up above it treading water right now it's do or die i know better than anyone it's true i'm getting on but i'm getting better, too admit defeat let down your defenses why do you have to fight a losing cause to find the thing you're missin'? know when you're beat and come to your senses still, i'm compelled to write without applause and though no one will listen give it up and get away i shouldn't wonder in a decade or a day it's hard to tell give it up or get it right i'm going under yeah, but not without a fight it's just as well. i know better than anyone could guess i'm getting tired of all this now, i confess if only my art could somehow relate then maybe my life would then imitate the things i'd contrive and not what i feel but it wouldn't be right it wouldn't be real don't look now they're coming after you dig in, though you don't know what to do something's gonna happen any day but what i can't say

I Can Awake 03:58
this one i can beat this one i'll survive if i could rest with meaning replete while hope is alive and thought suppressed and when i look out the universe slings a shooting star don't want to see doubt i want to see things for what they are but if i can awake from a dream i mistake for reality then would you let me in? and sanity blurs give credit to chance if it is due the thought of it stirs me out of a trance i'm coming to afraid to be right afraid to be wrong too high the stakes while up on the fence can i see the beyond my own mistakes? my energy is gone and sleep is coming on be quiet let me be alone here with my dreams visions of happy things although it's pointless when i won't remember them
13.
reflecting in quiet places where you haunt the unsuspecting you're almost everything i want you to be perfection undiluted found but as for me i can't get my head around you at all i'm troubled i'll wonder to the very end why always i'm followed by my imaginary friend just you run along you haven't heard a word i've said back where you belong confined within a book i've read still you sing your song and now it's sticking in my head yet again maybe i'm too hard to convince lately you've started making sense i'll say as of a recent find you're not just in my mind somehow i just wanna be sure right now i'm somewhat insecure i know you're calling me a friend but tell me once again
