Still
She wondered what it would feel like
if they all stood still
with just a breath in the darkness
where their hope appears
she wondered what it would feel like
if they all stood still
nobody getting caught in the cross fire
they could shed their fear
she wondered what it would feel like
if they could take a day
to lay their burdens down
and just walk away
just walk away
They could lift their heads up
and tear down the barricades
if their origins betrayed them before their shadows were persuaded
they might still find away
to peace one day
She wondered what it would feel like
she wondered what it would feel like
What do you think it would feel like
if we all stood still?
nobody getting caught in the cross fire
we could shed their fear
what do you think it would feel like
if we all stood still?
What do you think it would feel like
what do you think it would feel like
what do you think it would feel like

The Light
All revved up
head spinning like a top
till Im choking on my thoughts
got caught in the illusion machine
what separates you is what separates me
torn by a great divide
living in my mind
a castle in the sky
feels like there's something I can't see
what separates you is what separates me
but there is a light
shinning out of your head
and it looks like a crown
when you move in the way you were meant to
like a bird taking flight
just for the first time
nobody told you how but you'll do just fine
over and over again
caught in the same web
spinning the same tricks
till nothing's really quite what it seems
just like a dream
what separates you is what separates me
but there is a light
shinning out of your head
and it looks like a crown
when you move in the way you were meant to
like a bird taking flight
just for the first time
nobody told you how but you'll do just fine
don't be afraid
you're an invincible soul
and if there's no time but now
then don't let go

Sparks
young and spun
wrapped up in dedication
each day running like we run from the gun
and every night is a celebration
I swear we've met before
somewhere perhaps we were not born
two sparks dancing in the dark
where time could not keep us apart
kings and queens
all torn up over the little things
can't we just dance our fright away
dance it away
Got caught on a crooked thought
got caught on a crooked thought
and stumbled your way
stumbled your way
I swear we've met before
somewhere perhaps we were not born
two sparks dancing in the dark
where time could not keep us apart

Explosions

Explosions
beneath the dark before the dawn
bare skin dances with light like explosions
dripping bliss we're holding on
can't get close enough always in motion
when we go off like a bomb
our bodies dissolve into a song
we shake like the earth and burn like the sun
just like a dream
we're here and then we're gone
every breath is a whispered word
each kiss is a love song that you've never heard
it hurts so good that I can't see
and when you scream I'll sing in harmony
and we go off like a bomb
our bodies dissolve into a song
we shake like the earth and burn like the sun
just like a dream
here and then we're gone
we go off like a bomb
dissolve into a song
and then burn like the sun
just like a dream

Cycles of Dreamers

Cycles of Dreamers
There is a frost that clings to stubborn leaves
who linger near the evergreens
where souls of faithful martyrs bring their memories
and they collect in silent crowds
to take communion from the clouds
and when it snows we hear an echo of the hymns they sing
and it goes la, la la, la la, la la....
there is an artificial truth
force fed by warm electric spoons
beneath a shroud of change the skull and bones have lain
where even those who had the chance were taken out merely for asking: does the executioner ever relinquish anything?
when he goes la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
will we go la, la la, la la, la la?
we have always slain our dreamers to see what could become
we can change, we have changed, and we will change again

The Fool

The Fool
I am the fool
who gave away his truth
too drunk in comfort's womb
and too weak to say no
I have never tasted poison quite like this before
with our stale tongues rubbing red wine onto winters lips
undressing slowly, cold feet on the kitchen floor
I have never tasted poison quite like this before
Slowly steeping in freezing sentiments
I am breathing smoke from the fire that starts wherever you go
You are the muse who never learned to love, can't seem to get enough, but too cold to care much
and I have never tasted poison quite like this before
where the silk and lace is drenched in sweat to cool the skin, our bodies are not ours here where we beg for more
I have never tasted poison quite like this before
I have never had my heart torn out and strung up on the wall, I have been twisted by an angel who was broken by her fall

Not Running Away
We made our way from the lights to the north for the night
Just to breathe something clean
cure my numb to the city scream
I'm not running away
I just needed a change
I'm not running away
Folding our flag
in the fire
keep us warm for a while
lick our pride with the flame
we will not die here in your name
I'm not running away
I just needed a change
I'm not running away
Each breath you take begets the life you lead
so don't forget to breathe
and its all we can do to keep quiet and be true
when there's a strange dawn on the rise and all the fire has turned to ice before our eyes
I'm not running away
I just needed a change
I'm not running away

So Familiar
amen she says with a grin giving thanks for the breath that it takes just to say it, closing her eyes to the lights of the finite and shedding the skin from her soul, she de-materialized
now she says it all seems so familiar but I swear I've never been 'round here before
Sweet dreams he says to himself with the spoon in his mouth that he used to cook it down, and tying it off with the yarn from her scarf, he did it up, nodded off in the dark, and left his body behind
now he says it all seems so familiar but I swear I've never been 'round here before, yeah he says it all seems so familiar but I swear I've never been round here before
Remember that day, we learned it would change? some say thats the way it ends, but what if it just started all over again?
