Looking out of the play set
Saw her sitting all alone
I was climbing higher still
Would you like to talk a while?
Dreaming in my bed that night
Saw her dancing on the stars
Reaching high I yelled to her
Could you come down for a while

Walking/Running

Ya, I'll meet you there
By the hole in the fence
We could walk to the pond
And then walk right back
In the end
Whatever brought us to this place
I know will stay for good
Ya, I'll meet you there
Underneath the ash
I gotta do my chores
And then I'll meet you there
I'm so glad to see you here
And the sun is shining down
I brought snacks to share with you
We could eat them at the park
Teacher says I've got detention
She don't know that someone's waiting
Slip through the halls when no one's looking
Slip outside and run to safety
Spot you as I climb the hill
Underneath the old ash hill
You don't mind my knees are muddy
From falling down while I was running
I'm so glad that we are here
And the sun is smiling down
The world is ours that's what I think
And with a push and a wink
You send me rolling down the hill
Let's just have fun instead

The Words
04:33
|

Our talks do you think about them
In class or in your bed?
Sometimes when I'm unsure
I think of things you've said
I'm searching for hints or clues
In all of the things you do
I've been trying for so long
But there's so many things you do
The way you walk and hold your pencil
Can't help but to notice
Sometimes I try to act brave
Sometimes I think you know
Are you searching for the words?
The biggest ideas are stuck in my head
There are things I just can't quite say
They are growing every day

Going Around
03:44

I've found a girl
She don't mind
Wasting time
Lying on the floor
Talking 'bout
Nothing much
Oh, Help me!
When we're in class
My mind it wanders
Time just won't pass
And when we hold hands
The birds all sing
The greatest things
Oh, Help me!
When she kisses me
My legs give out
My eyes can't see

Stay with Me
07:58
|

When I was a kid I heard about
These two that tied strings around their wrists
And anywhere that one would go
The other'd go
I kind of thought we were those two
But lately are string is coming loose
Lately our string's begun to fray
Would should we do
Can't you see
The breeze moving thin leaves
In to the faint
Darkening distance
A glimpse in to
Unraveling wonders
Unleashed by
The now forsaken
Paths we tread
I think we may have gone too far
Hop a fence we can head back home
Your eyes are distant, Not this time
I need you know
Words expressing nothing at all
Carried away by the endless torrents of rain
Pounding like hammers on my mind
Drowning out your apologies
Or is it me that can't accept it?
Stay with me

Warning
03:59

The sky heaves open
But they do not say
Headless children crawling
Closer to me
The wind carries blossoms
Of cherry trees
She catches the blackest
The radiant Queen
Through walls she walks
She in no one
Hold on where have you gone?
Lost, weary, and lost
This maze is expanding
Hold on doesn't it end
On stars now she rest
I reach out toward her
Hold on
Gone are the flowers
We walked through
Bathe in the summer
The night sky
The night sky breathes
Her eyes move all
Oh, Great sun
Have I found you?
Is this done
Arms around
You've become the quietest sound
Beauty leaves replaced by what?
When left with nothing cling to love
Opened wide you fill my eyes
Covering the starlit night

Dream II

It's not the kind of thing you'll feel
When you're alone beneath the wheel
It comes to you at times like these
It's not the kind of thing I think
That anyone could hope to know
It comes to you at times like these
Why can't we just talk?
It's getting hard to think at all
This wall that we have built
I'd rather knock it down instead
It's not the kind of thing you'll see
When brighter lights are shining down
It comes to you in times of dark
It's not the kind of thing, I think
That anyone would to be
When it comes to you... you'll see
Do you think of me?
Like I think of you?
I still think of you
We were burning for the words
To take away the things that we both knew were wrong
I'll leave you all alone with yourself
I'll leave you all alone with this song
Do you think of me?
I hope and pray you know that I still think of you
I'm burning up but still I only think of you
In my head there is a thought that no one knows
And there it stays
In my home there is a room where no one goes
It's there I wait
On my arm there is a scar I made for you
To never forget
In my head there is a thought that no one knows
To find you again
Words collapse in to the sun
You alone could leave me here
You alone would leave me here
Don't forget me
When they come for you which we both know they will
Keep your memories close
Be strong
In the spring there was a time I shared with you
But now it's gone
Did you feel it at the bottom of your toes
Coming up from the bottom to the top?
Did you feel it at the bottom of your soul?
I felt it, too
I still see you at the bottom of the stairs
Running up from the bottom to the top
I can catch you fall
But this is your last chance

Gone or: Forever

She wanted to see
The things that she'd known
When she was with me
She laid in her bed
And filled up her head
With times that we'd spent
Ici je peux voir clairement
Dieu, je peux voir à l'infini
I needed to see
The things that she sees
Now that she's without me
So deeper I went
In search of her mind
And found myself there
Emerging sun-drenched I feel alive
All is clear now in my mind
I will see this through
The straight path curves
There west it lies
And never near
Til sun does fade
She lifts her arm in grace
All that follow, paths extend
Projecting beyond condition
Attracting all that can be known
A bondage not escaped
It's only to be with you my friend
My days have been nothing now that you've left
But when I wake the things that I'll see
I'll know there not for me
I've had some bad dreams and the felt so real
I'm starting to feel that enough is enough
Trapped as I am I stay where I am
Keeping light out is all that I want
When I wake the things that I'll see
I'll know there not for me
And those that wander apart
Who would wander apart?
She wanted to see
The things that she'd known
Back when there was me
And when she awoke
She went back to bed
And did not dream
In here I can see forever
But I must go now or I'll die here

Avalon

A fall was coming from the start
When I colored you the heroine
It's getting hard to tell
If I'm pursuing just another one
Are you one of them?
Only time will tell
But either way I know
This was coming from the start
A boy awakens all alone on a beach
He is naked, badly beaten
His legs are shackled to the sands
As time passes he builds his masterpiece
A castle made of swept away to the sea
All alone on my bike
This is what I'm bringing you
And so I ride, forever west,
To gather the remains
Across the plains, through mountain pass
More til the ocean still
And finally rest, to look beyond
The land for which I search
Again I ride, I'll always ride
To California
Forgive me there's no note
I did what I was forced to
What could I have even said?
I did what I was forced to
I must follow my heart
And it leads me far from you
I couldn't be yours for long
We both knew I couldn't stay
But I was yours for a little while

The Ocean
05:02
|

I had no wisdom
And yet you taught me
Illuminated, beyond conditions
Water is clear to the bottom
Where the fish swims
Without moving
The sky is vast and boundless
Where the bird flies away
And disappears
Just one word
Of a poem is better
Which if a man hears
He is quiet
This being that appears
Then loses
Every meaning
The withered tree spoken of
Is nothing but the ocean drying up
An ocean does not retain
What is the ocean?
Free of forms
All good and bad
In time will pass
All at once
Grasping and not grasping that
The sky is vast and boundless
Where the bird flies away
And disappears
