Monte Verde 03:54
You wake up in a maelstrom spiraling downwards into the water Pale green light with no sound, just bubbles escaping from your mouth You are on the ocean's bed all but gone So watch your feet with every step, but keep treading lightly, keep up ahead Cracks and creaks from all the weight that's bound by the memories that just won't fade You are on the ocean's bed all but gone Why'd it have to go in this direction? Faster then the blink of an eye Stuck in the forth dimension, just waiting for a sign

No this is not how you thought it would be And you're pained as you struggle to see Some kind of light a rush of warmth that spreads through the hollow Vessels you're traversing not knowing what to follow Well we're not the first, we're not the last But it doesn't mean we're not worth a damn And so we're told things come and go And we are not an exception Oh and she said.. Please hold me close yeah hold me tight Just let me know I'll be alright But it had weaved her grips and shut her down And instead of breaking in and breaking it she just ran out Well we're not the first, we're not the last But it doesn't mean we're not worth a damn And so we're told things come and go And we are not an exception So come inside, don't look out for the things you're not today Just come inside but hold the door and kiss the pain away Well we're not the first, we're no the last But it doesn't mean we're not worth a damn And so we're told things come and go And we are not an exception

Heard her voice but it's not the same yeah it doesn't feel quite right; snagged in a rut If I could learn to let thoughts go and settle in the dirt I might start to drift Now darling please touch my soul or have you forgotten how I've been falling through your holds and it seems I'm heading south Gone without a trace, and you don't know quite why It's hard to find your way when you've covered your eyes And I don't mind if you need your space but mind's in contention And I just want to rest I try to think of too many things and I'm lost in a whirl wind And i just need to rest Now darling please touch my soul or have you forgotten how I've been falling through your holds and it seems I'm heading south Gone without a trace, and you don't know quite why It's hard to find your way when you've covered your eyes Oh my scatterbrain Oh my scatterbrain sabotage Gone without a trace, and you don't know quite why It's hard to find your way when you've covered your eyes

Sun-drenched 04:31
How she sways in summer winds but locked in by her roots Got two arms outstretched to two that latch too soon Oh how sweet you are the city's own living wild flower Bent over to the light defying all the cancer This is for all of my senses that I just don't know yet And how we think of days long gone and wonder what they meant Only hope that we can leave all feelings of resentment Cause how we have forgotten a certain way we used to feel Bent over to the sun not a callus on our heels Expectations are not always met It's your choice on how you react I'll take my time, I'll search the inside for all it's worth This is for all of my senses that I just don't know yet

Tell me what's my face when I'm not seen A haze formed around my eyes and placed within a fading dream I'm unsure just where my heart lays but I hope to take you there I know that my art is flawed but it helps keep me here For my own good So tell me what's a breath worth nowadays? Cause I tried to drown myself but I breathed and stopped and felt the waves I'm unsure just where my heart lays but I hope to take you there I know that my art is flawed but it helps keep me here For my own good No I don't want to break now that I have sprouted new legs and I am walking I'm unsure just where my heart lays but I hope to take you there I know that my art is flawed but it's what keeps me here
