Heliotrope 03:57
All our faces tell a story that our lovers come to know Etched in lines invisible til the time comes to show Traces of our trials past and smiles faded long ago Worries carving deeper paths than our roots care to grow We’re not growing a day younger This much oh I know is true Let’s not waste a moment more Just do what you love to do We must write our own stories just as we want them told Only through our own words can we turn this lead to gold No one said life was easy, no one said we’d be happy Just hold tight to your own pen never forget your own story We’re not growing a day younger This much oh I know is true Let’s not waste a moment more Just do what you love to do Death will come for us all and wrap us in her cold embrace The only store you’ll have then is the one marked upon your face Let it tell of all your passions leaving nothing unsaid Let her kiss all the secrets that you hold inside your head We’re not growing a day younger This much oh I know is true Let’s not waste a moment more Just do what you love to do

Drink the cold coffee that you bought for me Down in the chilly rainy valley Praying it will give energy To this weary shell of me Pretending that it was meant to be That our knuckles fit perfectly When we curled our hands into fists Remember this. You don't listen to me you say So I stare at you anyway It's hard to hear every word you say When you look at me that way Like I'm a map you've never read Like I'm a voice inside of your head Like I'm a story you know too well Like I'm a secret you'll never tell Remember this. Oh I listen to all you say But it's hard to do anyway It's hard to hear every word you say When you look at me that way Like I'm a map you've never read Like I'm a voice inside of your head Like I'm a story you know too well Remember this.

Orpheus 04:29
Orpheus my teller of tales I knew better than to fall for you With your gilded strings And your honeyed lies I knew you'd never stay by my side Anytime you sing a song for someone else it kills me Bit by bit and piece by piece I fade slowly away I never cared much for the chase So it's only fair to take me out of your race I'm not the one who'd risk death for you So you needn't worry about saving me Save me Save me from you Anytime you sing a song for someone else it kills me Bit by bit and piece by piece I fade slowly away You only love the girls who kiss your feet I only worship from afar So don't look for me Anytime you sing a song for someone else it kills me Bit by bit and piece by piece I fade slowly away

Dandelions 03:16
Hope that lay so dormant waiting patiently Stretched her arms and rubbed her eyes She uncoiled lazily Placed a crown of gentle light Upon her sleepy head Then set off seductively Into the dawn rose red Dandelions blowing dreams over my head Seeds of change are sowing Wishes left for dead Undead Flashes of light paint the sky An incandescent haze Hope skipping brightly on her toes Tripping through the maze Weaving through the shadow self Waiting to devour Unerringly she finds her way Growing stronger by the hour Dandelions blowing dreams over my head Seeds of change are sowing Wishes left for dead Undead

Leave your worries behind my love You won't need them here Let your mind rest my love Let go of all you hold dear Sink into the sound of my voice Calling you to me Siren song lulling you Into the deep blue sea Play my heart like a record Caress every curve every groove I'll spin in your embrace endlessly Playing this song for you Stay with me tonight my love Til morning frames your face Follow me into dreams my love We'll vanish without a trace Feel your breath rise and fall As you sleep next to me Two hearts beat as one Perfect symmetry Play my heart like a record Caress every curve every groove I'll spin in your embrace endlessly Playing this song for you

Synapses 03:35
Your eyes they flash, my heart it beats Still you're here sipping whiskey with me No water will grace your lips Nor will mine With these words my only weapon I write to make myself whole again As these words spill out of my pen You turn to talk to our friends Synpases slow and you become sweet Who needs these chemicals I put in me Moments of lucidity flash back to me when you leave To go out and smoke a cigarette You're just a casual hypocrite But I believe you when you kiss me Oh I take it so literally Synapses slow and you become sweet Who needs these chemicals I put in me The way you move your tongue over mine Has me so preoccupied With your greying hair, your green eyes How many years are left inside How many years are left to deny How many years are left inside Synapses slow and you become sweet Who needs these chemicals I put in me Synapses slow and your breath is sweet I take you so seriously

Drowning 04:06
I can't trust all that I see The look in your eyes as we're cheek to cheek The way you say my name to me But she kissed you oh so sweetly Loving you is like drowning in a river Clear on the surface Dark all together Can't wait to see the story unfold Can't believe fairytales that I'm told There's no prince who will come for me Alone in this tower I shall be Loving you is like drowning in a river Clear on the surface Dark all together People are such disappointments Oh I thought you were different Please don't prove me wrong I won't wait for very long Loving you is like drowning in a river Clear on the surface Dark all together

Silhouettes 03:01
This old love burns as it were born yesterday This old heartache it yearns for everything That you promised to me that day Impossible day dream oh this life seems Under the haunt of safety Under the hand of silhouettes Under the branched tangled Under the dangers still untold I lost you I found you When will this agony end, delicious pain Mixing lost love with living passion Desire creeps in through all the cracks Left untended for all these years Under the haunt of safety Under the hand of silhouettes Under the branched tangled Under the dangers still untold I lost you I found you

Traveling 03:36
Thought I found my wishing well, my carnival, my carousel Though I'd found my lucky ring, my talisman, my song to sing Now all I get is radio silence echoing across the line These threads stretch, threaten to break I hope that we can save it in time There's only so far my heart can travel before my love starts to unravel Thought I knew my heart so well Words to feel and stories to tell Thought I had a map inside Complete with key and places to hide Now I'm lost in my own tangled mind Living on images, flashes of memory Slowly fracturing down new fault lines There's only so far my heart can travel before my loves starts to unravel
10.
Sew up the hole of memories left behind Tuck them away with pocket knives and land mines Where you went I could not go You jumped ahead I could not follow Excise you from my life With a scalpel so precise You won't feel a thing Just a sting Just a stain Just the pain of absence gained Presence of past paints the future But it won't last Paint a portrait of the present With solitude standing Go forth into the world With this mask in place To hide the lines our story carved In my face Excise you from my life With a scalpel so precise You won't feel a thing Just a sting Just a stain Just the pain of absence gained
11.
Soon 02:05
Distance makes the heart grow fonder What doesn't kill you makes you stronger I never felt the weight my dear Oh the freedom of the fear of love I only want this song to find you Comfort and clothe you Warm and bind you To this voice that misses you so To these hands that never say no to you Please don't leave me though I'm hard to manage Please don't deserve me though I am a challenge I never meant to hurt you my dear I only wish you could be near me soon
