Never Coming Back
05:26

Stick to you
Just like glue
Never be apart
You go
So slow
Never coming back
Leave me
To be
Wondering around
Sit there
Cold stare
Waiting to be found
Proceed
To bleed
Everytime
I get the chance
What luck
Stay stuck
Everytime
I get
The chance

Time and Time Again

Time and time again
You keep coming 'round
I can't find a way
To keep you in the ground
Blinded by the light
You come creeping in
No point of return
And nowhere to begin
I thought I had you beat
I saw you leaving town
I sent you on your way
You didn't hang around
And now you're back again
I missed you stepping in
There's a price I'll have to pay
If I can't let you in
Just give me more...
Time...
Again.
Goodbye...
Dear friend.
How days...
Pass by.
For now...
Goodbye.
I thought I knew your face
I had you written down
But you slipped through the cracks
Found your way into town
I'm chasing you again
It tasted way to sweet
I really should've known
I didn't have you beat
So meet me one more...
Time...
Dear friend.
Not...
Again.
Let down...
My guard.
This time...
We part.
Goodbye.

Make Home
04:10
|

|
I'll sail across
Your sense of loss
Make home those wounds
That never heal
Appear to you
As something new
My boy,
You haven't found me yet
So far away
Not here to stay
Is it ever...
Is it ever the right time ?
As you pass by
I'll let you try
Make home
Those wounds that never heal
Make home
Those wounds that never heal

Velvet Sky

And I was born
Back into this
A Monday afternoon
And I have watched
Two decades pass
You felt it was too soon
I've seen you once
I've seen you twice
My visions of a different life
My visions slowly
Dripping down
Cold edges of a knife
The weight
Of past mistakes
Our hearts could not embrace
Beneath the velvet sky
I often wonder why...
And you were not
My chosen dream
The lie I could believe
Lay dead my faith
In warmth and love
I'll force you not to leave
I'll put some flowers
In your hair
The ones you hate so much
Exchange what's still left
Of myself
For promises of touch
We grasped
But could not reach
Those songs
Old lovers teach
In time
All flowers die
Beneath
The velvet sky

Just for Now

When the day is done
It offers no relief
With the dying of the sun
It's not easier to grieve
And they slowly trickle down
Those tears you haven't cried
Almost close enough to touch
The turning of the tide
Pale child
Sculpted one ungrateful morn
So much darker than before
So much darker than before
Long wait
Without knowing what's it for
So much darker than before
So much darker than before
And some movement of the stars
Mislead you straight to me
And it aches me that I know
All those things that you won't see
Like the turning of the tide
All that violence down below
And you'll never get to touch
How soft wild grasses grow
Would you
Keep on walking by my side
All those things you left behind
All those things you left behind
Sometimes
It's much harder than it seems
I don't see you in my dreams
I don't see you in my dreams
All this longing
And the softening of heart
Making grief into an art
Thousand memories apart
Just for now
Just for now...

Alive
06:37

The clear blue sky
Right before your eyes
Makes you feel
Makes you feel
Alive
And when the sun goes down
And you hit the ground
It still hurts
It still hurts
The same
Yet you come right in
Looking to begin
And we're struggling
We're struggling
To breathe
And you try again
Think you found a friend
Oh but it always ends
It always ends
In tears
Cause I'm a rolling stone
Like to be alone
But only when you're not
Only when you're not
Around
And if I could stand still
At command of will
Oh honey would you stay
Honey would you stay
A while
Sometimes life is hard
But you come this far
And all the pain
All the pain
Kept you awake
And the clear blue sky
Right before your eyes
Makes you feel
Makes you feel
Alive
