Meet Me Where I Am
03:29
|
|||
|
I can't get high enough to feel it, to hear you
Where have the lights all gone? I fade out of view
Crushing the leaves beneath the dampness of night
Where are the lines you draw to tell us what's right?
So, Virgil, meet me where I am
Halfway through and I’m lost where I stand
From the depths I've been holding out hope you’d arrive
From broken sleep I remember some dreams
Awake in a world with no time for such things
So take me anywhere you can
I feel I’m drowning right here where I stand
And I see nothing but hatred and fear,
And darkness, a few shining stars...

Stars
04:04
|

|
So little time on this plane, the stars are twinkling tonight
The gentle wind, it knows my name, everything is in this ray of light
You know it’s true, you know it’s true
Just be still in this place where stars are twinkling so bright
Close your eyes, forever’s here, and in my place stars send light into the night
You know it’s true, you know it’s true, and everything is alright
You know it’s true, it’s true, and everything is alright
No love can’t die, but it can hide
Like suns that blind stars that twinkle in the night
You know it’s true, you know it’s true

Power Lines
03:45
|
|||
|
The power lines connect our minds
We pulse, collide, and bind with everything
This unseen energy
The power lines ignite our lives
A fuse, a surge of electricity
The sparks that we can see
I thought you would send me a letter
I thought you would give me a sign
These power lines
The power lines in modern times
Can heal or destroy most anything
Where does your intent lie?
I thought you would help make it better
I thought you would help me try
These power lines
And everyone you know
Is in their bunker too, seeking a way through
And everyone you meet
Needs some kindness now
What are you gonna do
When the next move is up to you?
I thought we could help make it better
I bet we could close this switch and flood the world with light
These power lines

I Guess I Feel OK?
04:27
|
|||
|
So are these feelings are a part of me?
I wish that they would leave me alone
Watching cold ice leak into the sea
Now the waves aren't all adrift on their own
I guess, I guess?
When our guns send children to the sky
And this virus takes the last human heart
And there's no one left to wonder why
An end is something else's big start
I guess, I guess?
My body shakes and my mind's blank but I guess I feel ok?
Yeah I'd call an angel for you, love,
But their network was burned up in the crash
So we traded our faith for crypto and hate
And now goodwill is just a thing of the past
I guess?
The air we breathe is hard to see but
Everything's coming down, and we
Suffocate when there's no space but I guess I feel ok?
There's no pain until the shock fades but
Everyone's bleeding out
And my soul breaks- is this our fate now?
I guess I feel ok?
I don't know what I can say- I guess I feel ok?

The Devil That You Know
04:27
|
|||
|
Isolate, stay awake, distractions pass the time
Really wish that dying sun would shine
Sometimes I don't want what's right for me
The devil that you know is the one I'd miss
The devil that you know is the one I'd kiss
Crawling on back to my misery
At least I've got the devil here to comfort me
Stalemate, watch me break a promise to myself
And put those rainbow dreams back on the shelf
There are times when I can clearly see
But it's too hard to do what's right for me
The devil that you know is the one I'd miss
The devil that you know is the one I'd kiss
Heading on back to the one I serve
It's stable in my fear as the outside burns
And I know, let it go.
But I don't know where to go.
Can we turn? Can I grow in a world like this?

Can't Find Me
04:23
|
|||
|
The TV and airwaves are peddling a song full of dread
A specter casts shadows leaving no hope to help us transcend
Lost in these echoes surrounding me
Bury what we can’t bear instead
So I'll keep drawing straight lines and smile just in case but
Leave pieces of myself all over the place
Until you can't find me
And I can't find me
Voices in dark hallways, not sure where they start and I end
While fear seeps in softly like water through cracks in cement
There is no stone wall high enough
To quiet the screams in my head
So close all the windows and create some space
Or watch yourself fracture all over the place
Until you can't find me
And I can't find me
As water continues to rise, I choose the things to leave behind
So I can start to rewrite the story I've scripted in my mind
In my mind

Resist The Force
03:11
|
|||
|
Woke up in the morning to this
So fucking sick of the same old shit
Hate:1. And me?
The nuclear self-righteousness you wield
Sunflowers burning in the field
Hate:2. And me?
Hate:3. And me?
I will resist the force that preys on kindness when it’s sleeping
But it spreads like oil spills and taints the peace that we are seeking
Searching hard, but that’s not my face in the glass
Just some busted, tired soul looking back
Hate:10. And me?
Hate’s winning. And me?
I will resist the force that preys on kindness when it’s sleeping
But it spreads like oil spills and taints the peace that we are seeking
Yeah we will fight the force that targets children when they’re weeping
Your metastatic lies will kill the ones who kneel before your teaching

Between Sleep
04:16
|
|||
|
I'll always die without any fear
The shades that I'll find can't be colder than here
Learning to accept all that I've seen
To sepia shadows I offer my wings
Between sleep is the longest time
Between sleep is the hardest time
The hardest time
I open my scars to learn how to heal
There's darkness in light, to live is to feel
We love and we suffer, we fly and we fall
And choose how we want to react to it all In the stillness inside you
Between sleep is the longest time
Between sleep is the hardest time
Hello, Sadness, can I sit with you a while?
I'm broken and I'm scared. However,
With nowhere left to run, I guess it's you and me.
But we can make it through this together,
You know it's true

The Dark Of Light
04:49
|
|||
|
The troublesome smile, innocents frown
Another endless mile, but walking it with clarity
I think that I feel, I think that it hurts
Acknowledge what is real: here we are in the dark of light
I’m carving my hands this way, faded and raw
But nothing stops a stormy day
It’s willingly, it’s willing me
I create peace, I create terror
The cycle will complete behind closed eyes where I can see
Standing on green hope today, navigate night
It’ll fragment and then float away
It’s willingly, it’s willing me
Remembering what I can find
So be still for a time and hold that space inside
A place to go when you need to hide
That I can find
Because there was a time, if you go down deep inside,
When you knew love and there was no need to hide

Here I Am
05:12
|
|||
|
Hey, you're living in a strange world
Anger and joy and all shades in between
It's a lot to feel
And when we break, when it's more than we can face
Forgive yourself for not being your best
Reboot, be still, and find a single breath
It takes time to heal
You can't stop the waves that are crashing
But you don't need to stay there and drown
If you're looking for some shelter, remember,
It can always be found
We can all find, if we go down deep inside
How we are loved and there is no need to hide
Don't be scared of what you’ll find when you go down deep inside ‘Cause you are loved and there is no need to hide
We can all find, if we go down deep inside
A quiet place, enduring grace, a guide
Don't be afraid of what you feel, don’t run away from what is real ‘Cause there is love and there is no need to hide
You know it's true, you know it's true
You can give only what you have
You can't bring peace without peace in your hands
And when you feel like you’re on stable ground
Your actions will reflect the sound
And you can set about making things bright
In a world that is darkness and light
