Eye of the Storm
03:13

did it take some great fall
to wake to your human harm?
in the eye of the storm
do you fight, do you mourn?
how far the mind will go
when you wrestle your ego?
without your hands on the wheel
would you lose yourself, do you feel real?
but here we ground
and tear down
can i feel it now?
we hold this time
we talk loud
till the lights burn out
when will the rain come?
if you burn it down and let it die
it’ll grow back stronger this time
are we so easily blind?
and could i be a mother
when this war isn’t over?
lately i feel alone
could you find me a place
we could be at home?
but here we ground
and tear down
can i feel it now?
we hold this time
we talk loud
till the lights burn out

Shame

haze haunts that time of life
crossed the world to feel both young and old
looked to get lost just to find my way out
found some stranger souls
so i took him up on a ride
winding road blurred lines
saw some trust in his eye
was it a flickering light?
was i a fool in my
longing to feel like i never had before?
lost myself in that night
couldn’t be strong enough to fight
off his hands
off my light
wouldn’t belong to me now
they asked me if i was alright
would i be this angry if i hadn’t lied?
like any woman
i was told to hold my pain close
oh, i made it mine
would the hurt blind my mind?
would i feel my life?
with each new touch i knew i
would fall back right in that time
and i was losing my feeling
to prove i was something more
something more
rewrote the storyline
to make them laugh
to keep some pride
but the shame out of the harsh light
feels the same to me now
but when i smell the salt air
ripening fruit
i remember why i had to bend that truth
that part of me that i held onto
couldn't be, wouldn’t be lied to
sadie, sadie
held my head when
i was too broken
and the strength i knew
was in my way now
as the tide kept
growing strong
the push would pull me back
to the truth
i wouldn't change now

The Garden

blue whale
you searched the coast with a longing hope
you always needed more than this
did we let you down?
and when the tides roll out
the harsh cold of the wind meets your eye
you see you pushed the hurt of your life
now you push me farther just to feel it alone
these were the walls that kept you strong in the storm
you call to say the gardens growing tall
the seeds you planted taken root
they didn’t let you down
did we not flower or fruit
in the way that you longed for us to?
you know we’d be lost in this life without you
so where are you now when the world is unglued?
we need our mother to remind us where we belong to
see the way its pulled you down
you fear your control is gone
now you’ve spun out
you can’t sleep through the night
repeating the lies of past lives
when i come home to hold our love
that is bound in lifeline
a shadow cast on lightest glance
i won’t pretend its fine
cause i can’t see it in your eye
to know you is knowing me too
are you so lost in your mind you can’t see through
to the love and life in the garden you grew?
what would it take to bring you back to your truth?

I'm So Tired
03:11
|
|||
|
i’m so tired baby
i’m so tired
down today
like no cause could come save me
from running off
caught up lonely
when i am only
in some thought of mine
and i call it time
to be a cog in turning the wheel
holding onto all this feeling
to believe that i’m real
when all is broken
they build themselves up tall
and they tell me i’m free
tell me i’m free
but i’ve come to know
the writing on wall, couldn’t be
caught in holy
when they get lonely
so take them down to the salt
where the water once be
cause they can’t be certain
that their sins would be free
well now, i could grow old
without seeing it change from this
would my words ring hollow
in the weight of this mess

Burning Blue
03:05
|
|||
|
was i dreaming?
took the last light of day
to lose you in the gray
i’ve been caustic
a little lost in my life
could you forgive me for these times?
knowing that the night could fall
before we had the chance to
love real
but i’ve gone
far into my own blue
and he’s wondering if it's right
cause i wasn’t me tonight
i’ll run circles round my mind
lose myself to keep your eye
crack the seal
to free the light that's holding me
burning blue for them all to see
chase the feeling
before you wake to see me fall
you help me, help me
warn it off
when i feel so small
take me out far from this tourist town
to where the trees grow tall
where the beauty blinds away my lost cause
baby could you believe?
i'll be strong again you’ll see
want to be here
want to love
through my doubts that echo on
don’t let your love swallow me whole
and carry me out through it all
in your shadow losing light
can’t hear my voice outside your mind

As It Seems
03:00
|

|
could it be all over when everything
keeps going as it seems?
it couldn't be
it couldn't be
while everything seemed perfect
i said who the hell am i?
i wasn’t me
i wasn’t me
you and me were good for only one laugh
i couldn’t fight the lie
i gave it all it took
but you know, i am not broken
cause i can see
that you want to be some man that's free
from the burden, the walls of grief
and i wouldn’t let you walk free
oh and maybe i fought to be heard
but you let them talk at me
you got all the words
you’re so naive
do you wake at night
and feel the weight of my head?
does your loneliness keep you living scared?
don't you blame me
for losing my virtue
when i was already lost at sea
but you were only lying to yourself this way baby
cause you want to feel the heat
and you can find her to fill all your needs
wake in late nights
baby cause i won't be
there to break your world to me

Orbit
02:35
|
|||
|
i see the clearing
in each morning
the way you smile before you open eyes
but when the day breaks
the pain of this place
hangs heavy on your waking mind
our love is like this landlock
it’s settled in stone
we circle round in orbit
till we lose our control
when the hold is heavy
you don’t feel it alone
but i could never reach you
if it’s all you’ve ever known
without a warning
some season turning
he said, “the joy it feels like pain most times”
the war in your mind
is fracturing time
i’m losing the will to fight
cause if you were to leave here
if you can’t face the day
i would lose myself in this meaning place
when the hold is heavy
let me lead the way
out of this old orbit
find space in another day

Easy
03:19
|
|||
|
when the water is descending
and the light is beginning to die
i call you asking to remind me
just who i am in this life
tell me you’re here
when i’m losing my hold
on the way i want to be yours
cause love isn’t real
till it hangs round your throat
and holds your eye to the door
if you let me go easy now
would we ever know?
saw the ocean take the storm down
she’s calm in the way that she fights
in all theses ways i feel so careless
i’m harsh with my words, with my mind
tell me you’re here
when i’m losing my hold
on the way i want to be yours
cause love isn’t real till it hangs round your throat
and holds your eye to the door
if you let me go easy now
would we ever know?

Down Too Fast
01:49
|

|
down too fast
see the night turn to black
can’t control the hell in my mind
can’t keep from losing time
maybe it’s all in your head
these thoughts aren’t yours
they’ve been fed
by the way that you run right to
the waves that are crashing blue
so i can break
and feel the weight
and feel the weight
when i look at this life but haven’t lived it
fear of death comes creeping in
need to be needed just to be left alone
see who i have become
maybe it’s all in your head
these thoughts aren’t yours
they’ve been fed
by the way that you run right to
the waves that are crashing blue
so i can break
and feel the weight
and feel the weight
and feel the weight

The Well
02:57
|
|||
|
shook the hand
of the man with some answers
trying to find that part of me gone missing
feel too much or feel nothing at all
take this pill
don’t let the pain define you
and he laid me down
to see my spirit drown
when the walls are empty i'll hang all,
all of my hurt to face the day
felt the pull
saw death laughing at life
my heart sank
deep down the well i built up
to hold my hurt
but the water spills over
ten years numb
when the clouds clear i won’t know her
and i'll drown
from my feet far off the ground
when the walls are empty i'll hang all,
all of my hurt to face the day
maybe i can see myself out
of the pain that surrounds my long living doubt
i know it's a long way out
will you be there when i wring myself dry
so tell me it's easy
to feel it all again
without a crutch the withdrawal feels
like my world is not real to me
i am not who i thought i’d be

Dirtbag Transformation: "What is this?" was my first reaction. But what an amazing song. It reminds me a bit of the Pixies in how it pulls together dissonance and then resolves.
