Hive

They talk around the world
But never make a sound
I watch it all unfurl
it makes me feel so hollow
you’re one among the hive
you always go unnoticed
just try to stay alive
and maybe it’ll make some difference
Here
When it all goes away
Eventually
There’s nothing you can say
To alter destiny
An unforgiving world
And you just want someone to
Hear all the thoughts I can say
Listen to what only I create
I won’t be one of the hive
If I can help it I will never die
I sit around and wait, and waste away my days
but I can’t concentrate, and always get distracted
Well I try to recreate a little seratonin
Nothin’ alleviates, the feelings I get
drag me right back
Here
When it all becomes clear
And I can see
The only thing I fear
Is only that no one will
Hear all the thoughts I can say
Listen to what only I create
I won’t be one of the hive
If I can help it I will never die
Always trying
Never thriving
(I can’t believe that I’ve made it this far)
Always staying
Never changing
(I can’t believe that I’ve made it this far)
Ever restless
I can’t take this
Hear all the thoughts I can say
Listen to what only I create
I won’t be one of the hive
If I can help it I will never die

Start with a new surface
Add the colors of your dreams
A favorite song
A favorite melody
And all the tears in between
You never stopped to wonder
(What would have been tomorrow)
If I hadn’t simply walked away
Or if you never called to ask me
(What would have been tomorrow)
If there were no tomorrows
Would you still say you love me
In my naivety
In this moment
The world should just disappear
Our serendipity
In this moment
What i can’t see is clear
Its not the fate that follows us
Its people that are dangerous
And though you can not isolate the truth
When it ends I won't fade
I’ll hold on to the time that we made
I'll hold on to each strand of light
Till it fades and we both say goodnight
Find a new purpose
Drop the tenor of your fears
A forgotten note
A wasted crescendo
And all of the dreams in between
You never stopped to wonder
(What would have been tomorrow)
If I hadn’t simply walked in
Or if you never called to ask me
(What would have been tomorrow)
If there were no tomorrows
Would you still say you loved me
In my naivety
In this moment
The world should just disappear
In our transparency
In this moment
What I can't see is clear
Its not the fate that keeps us here
Its all the tiny, little fears
And though you cannot hold onto your youth
When it ends I won't fade
I’ll hold on to the time that we made
I'll hold on to each strand of light
Till it fades and we both say goodnight
When it ends I won't fade
I’ll hold on to the time that we made
I'll hold on to each strand of light
Till it fades and we both say goodnight

Spark

Glare through the mirror
And haunt me, with eyes that see
You're broken up, nothing split in two
In every lifetime
There comes a day where you must say goodbye
To all who ever said they loved you
Said they loved you
In time, Sparks die
Why should I go through that trouble in the end
Each time I try
To keep myself collected another issue's resurrected
Tear down the pieces
You put in place, Then turned away
Watching from a mirror as it crumbled
Every time you take a breath
Im worried that one won't come next
And you won't ever hear my last "I love you"
And "I love you too"
In time, Sparks die
Why should I go through that trouble in the end
Each time I try
To save myself from falling off the edge
In time I might
Like to see the day my worries fade away
I don't think It's ever
Likely that I'll ever see that day
Mmmmm
There's another one
There’s another one
Far beyond your window
I found you, your reflection too
Staring back at me into my soul
Every now and then you seem
A little far away from me
I hope that when I close my eyes, I still see you
And you still see me too
When my sparks die
I'll have hoped they lit up someone else's sky
When it's my time
I hope that I remember all the ones who lit up mine
In time, sparks die
But that doesn't mean it's light had never shined so very bright
In time, sparks die
But I'm glad that I was able to ignite
In time, sparks die
But I'm glad that I was able to ignite

Sun, Moon, and Earth
05:06

The moon hits a lake full of stars
Our cosmos, a grand lunacy
Together with no company
We stare at the faint light of mars
As I lie here safe in your arms
With no reason to face any fear
From the sounds that fill up my ears
Far from home, with no old faces
Wander off to distant places
Finding truth to make it all clear
The sun, the moon, and earth
In chaotic harmony
The stars, the sea, and the sky
All at odds, discordantly
The sun runs its course for the day
Receding for solace at night
Awaiting return of it’s light
So we can return to the fray
Never stop, never rest, never break
Never think of what could’ve been
Cause the truth often seems obscene
Always running out of time
I try to find a pantomime
To free me of my selfish quarantine
The sun, the moon, and earth
In chaotic harmony
The stars, the sea, and the sky
All at odds, discordantly
The earth sits alone in the wake
For terribly long, till it dies
A slow but entropic demise
The universe’s grand mistake
A life lasts a blink, give or take
In the grandiose scheme of it all
When two new arise, one will fall
Nothing lasts beyond its limits
The firmament is such a cynic
Still we try to rise above it all
The sun, the moon, and earth
In chaotic harmony
The stars, the sea, and the sky
All at odds, discordantly
How much are we worth?
Just a drop within a pond
How long will we last?
Just a blink and then we’re gone

Familiar Stranger

Stare
Stare into the sea
Fade
Into the darker side of me
Find
The color lost inside your eyes
A strange yet subtle way to lie
Someones blocking the way down inside of your heart
The Familiar strangers who tear you apart
Always running away, finding nowhere to hide
But the safest of places is never inside
Count the hours with 12 little marks on the wall
And impatiently wait for a telephone call
To find another escape down inside of your heart
Sink
Sink into the sky
Blame
Blame it on your alibi
Try to hide it all far away
Someones blocking the way down inside of your heart
The Familiar strangers who tear you apart
Always running away, finding nowhere to hide
But the safest of places is never inside
Count the hours with 12 little marks on the wall
And impatiently wait for a telephone call
To find another escape down inside of your heart
Someones blocking the way down inside of your heart
These Familiar strangers who tear you apart
Don’t know when to begin but they know when to start
Always looking to view, never looking to act
But you just never fail to find ways to distract
From the sickening feelings stuck right in your heart
Someones blocking the way down inside of your heart
The Familiar strangers who tear you apart
Someones blocking the way down inside of your heart
Someones blocking the way down inside of your heart
The Familiar strangers who tear you apart
Someones blocking the way down inside of your heart
Someones blocking the way down inside of your heart

Children of the Blade
05:53

Here we stand, beneath the twilight
Watching and waiting for stars to pass by
I remember the times we used to watch the clouds dance
Now I try to forget all the time that flew by
A creature in armistice, still in spite of what we knew
But life is a open wound, and it looks like you're cut too
We're all just children of the blade
You used to stay out and watch the sun rise
But now its too cold and you’d rather stay in
Now it takes you a while to wake cause you’re aching
And it feels like you’d be better of stuck in bed
But life won’t get better while you’re sleeping it away
So get out of your own head and come on outside today
And try something you’ve never done before
You’ve never done before
Children of the blade
Come down and cut me from this aging prison
Till I see you once again
Stop running from your past
Embrace all your mistakes with open arms
They're sharpening a knife
To cut your rusted blade
And free you from a broken, brittle cage
Don't hide away where the crows reside
You're finally free to get up and fly
You got it back, the life that you once had
Now fly somewhere you've never seen before
You’ve never seen before
Children of the blade
Come down and cut me from my aging prison
I'll see you all again, in the end
As a child of the blade

A walk through the streets
Seeing visions no one could see
Drowning city
A light shining bright
Eclipsed by the night too soon
Are you suffering
You called my name, time’s moving slow
Have you made up your mind? Are you ready to go?
I know I never knew you
So close, yet far away
I saw the raw emotion
Of hearts in disarray
I listened from the sidelines
As lives and minds regressed
While you relived your lifetimes
Prepared with no regrets
There is no way I could comfort you
But I, oh I, wish that I could still be there for you
You called my name, time’s moving slow
Have you made up your mind? Are you ready to go?
You called my name, your time’s moving slow
Have you made up your mind? Are you ready to go?
I wrote you a song, a song with no name
A stranger to me, but I'll love you the same
