By My Side

Tell me one more time
I'll stay on your mind
No matter what may come
We'll hold the line
Remember yesterday
We were castaways
It took so many years to call you mine
When every now and then life falls apart
Honey I am glad you're by my side
Honey I am glad you're by my side
Honey I am glad you're by my side

Overflow

I was growing weary
Of magnetic influxes weighing down on me
Phantom waterfalls
Reckless invasions
Inner rants are failing
Melting all defenses
Breaching through the shielding
Imaginary clouds
Fading the picture
Oh we’ll make it alright
Oh just stand on the side
Oh we’ll make it alright
Certitudes are swaying
When looking outside means you don’t look in
Simple shapes are fine
Leave room for breathing
Oh we’ll make it alright
Oh just stand on the side
Oh we’ll make it alright
Oh we’ll make it alright
Oh just stand on the side

Out of Reach
03:31

There's no need to worry again
About those days ahead of us
I can see that door from where I stand
Wide open
Is everything really meant to end?
I don't think so
Do you want to talk about it then?
Do you wanna keep me around?
Feels like falling down
Don't make me wait, baby
Everytime I look at your face
I know we're ready to race
Show me the way, babe
You sure need another wound to mend
Eyes fixed on the evening sun
I know it seems out of reach now
Anxious wait for the right time
I admit I have no control
Over the way roads meander
How will I know when to reach out?
Do you wanna keep me around?
Feels like falling down
Don't make me wait, baby
Everytime I look at your face
I know we're ready to race
Show me the way, babe
Do you wanna keep me around?
Feels like falling down
Don't make me wait, baby
Everytime I look at your face
I know we're ready to race
Show me the way, babe

I Don't Remember
03:40
|
|||
|
The path of a hummingbird flying
Weaving woe and wonder
Tracing capricious arabesques
Multiform but indivisible
A sort of liquid rippling of sound
Making its way to my ears
Ruddy brilliance of ripe apples
Wafted upon the moist air of evening
An almost perfect hold on reality
Is that my split personality?
I don't remember at all
Oh I've got holes in both my shoes
I don't remember at all
I don't remember
I don't remember at all
I don't remember
Never had a dream
Never held a thought
Home is yesterday
Ruminating sad passions
Unknown passions
Day and night the same
Any thoughts of any kind
Imminent but out of reach forever
Is that my split personality?
I don't remember at all
Oh I've got holes in both my shoes
I don't remember at all
I don't remember
I don't remember at all
I don't remember
Is that my split personality?
I don't remember at all
Oh I've got holes in both my shoes
I don't remember at all
I don't remember
I don't remember at all
I don't remember at all

Liftoff

First thing I noticed
In the blink of an eye
Shivering down my spine
Haze through the window
Shaping up like a storm
Taking my house away from home
Since then, as time goes by
I only drift away
Carried by winds
Everyday brings another melody
Head to the other side
Sun tries to hide
Every night lasts as long as two
I do know you
Oh how I do
Last thing I noticed (Last thing I know, shivering down my spine)
In the blink of an eye
Shivering down my spine
This journey has no end
This journey has no end
It has no end, oh Love
See you on the other side

Augustine
04:57
|
|||
|
My mind brought back to seascapes invitations
Holding on to hopes and momentary glows
Lost romance arising in bright projections
Going numb undone by fleeting shades of skies
Early morning losing track of Augustine
Losing scents of pines
Cicada songs fade out
Losing sense of time
Back along meandering sodden paths
Distant songs blurred out by weaving strands of fiction
Dreams and memories, can I tell them appart?
On the edge, unsteady, trying to put things back together
Weakening the essence of it all

Spring
02:30
|
|||
|
Solitude seeking in spring
Longing for isolation
When talking is confusing
And everything is in full motion
I'm up for demolition
It has left me seeing through
Shifting sands I've been drawn to
Unconsciously being
In the shade of all the things I want to do
Memories as flashes
Carved on the inside
(Every shape so close)
Spread emotions as dashes
(Fading out into a single line)
That bind and divide
(Now I know I won't)
Oh peaceful contemplation
(Every find out all there is to know)
Simple deep desire
I'm up for demolition

Ego Wound
01:48
|
|||
|
Last time I tried I hit the wall
And then I fell into the deepest hole
Somewhere I knew I could do it
I never thought I would miss this time
All I'm left with is an ego wound
All I'm left with is an ego wound
All I'm left with is an ego wound

Searchlights
03:43
|

|
Imply the obvious
Only a shade lighter
Nothing too glorious
Just a little clearer
Shoulder to shoulder
Alone and talking
Closer
Both hemispheres are found
Northern and southern
Gravity bound
Either side of a mirror
Matching the other
Still reflecting
Brighter
I was oblivious
Clueless tucked in the shade
I could not be found
Searchlights over me
Chasing doubts away
Words at the speed of sound
Finding new answers, higher grounds
In an upstairs corner
Lost in the moment
Alone and talking
Closer
I was oblivious
Clueless tucked in the shade
I could not be found
Searchlights over me
Chasing doubts away
I was oblivious
Clueless tucked in the shade
I could not be found
Searchlights over me
Chasing doubts away

Up the Spiral Staircase
04:53

Who could you rely on?
Depends on the demand
Wide interpretation
Of a word or an action
Heart above mind
I still see your face when I close my eyes
Figure it out
I still see your face when I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
Wise interaction
Balanced opinion
I could translate internal anticipation
Changing my way
Learn from the others
Changing my way
I'll try mirrored reactions
Heart above mind
I still see your face when I close my eyes
Figure it out (Heart above mind)
I still see your face when I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
Heart above mind
I still see your face when I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
Figure it out (Heart above mind)
I still see your face when I close my eyes
When I close my eyes

Frozen Lake

Frozen lake
Temporarily interrupted
Out of this world
Unobtrusive rythm
Maybe I'm just dreaming
But the scenery's so clear
Icy winds are warming
When I wake up so near
Simpler words
Often carry deeper meaning
And so it goes
I'll try to keep it short
And try to wake up
