WEIGHT OF YOU
Love found me
When I was too weak to say no
You wanted to consume me
My desire
Unkowingly you stole my innocence
I wanted you to take it
And I fear
I fear
I fear
The thought of you might linger
And I fear
I fear
I fear I'll slowly unravel myself
Until I'm not bound
Bleeding words
Broken pieces of who I once was
A beauty free, uncaptured
A desperate grasp
I thought my love could save us both
I could not bear the weight of you
The weight of you
(Chorus)
My hands were tied to me
I never tried to flee
Now that time has come for me
I'm setting myself free
I'm not bound
(Chorus)
JULIAN
Julian left home today
A pale blue morning, a silent dawn
Out walking the streets of dreams of righting wrongs
And so he grieved goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye
Brandish your weapons of your mind
And exchange words
Your sentiments
All is wrong and you’re guilty to believe so strong
A mother grieves goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye
And the ocean divides us all
But we’ll find land
The ocean divides us all
Julian came home today
A pale blue morning, a silent dawn
Drenched in colors of a fight conceived in wrong
And so we grieve goodbye
FOOLISH DREAM
Here in between my hands
Lie your foolish dreams
Honestly, we are just poetry
Hidden in the sand
Voices come to me sleeping
They dance around my room
The moon beleives me whole-heartedly
But the sun cannot be swooned
Where are the voices of my generation?
They're silently drowning from not being heard
And I don't like the view from the edge of my nation
Words underwater of giving a damn?
Or do I hold a foolish dream?
Believe what's beneath my surface
From your lonely view
Where every moment is fleeting in a world this new
(chorus)
This doubt is enveloping me
Draw outlines of it in the sand
How much are you willing to sift my foolish dream?

PERIPHERAL
So blink into the burning of today
But look behind you
For to progress we must first comprehend
All that we might see if you'd turn your head
Tear down the walls
On your peripheral
Tear down the walls
On your peripheral
A stitch in the lining of our time
I found a warning
As light your conscience is within your head
Everything we fail to see still weighs as lead
Tear down the walls
On your peripheral
Tear down the walls
On your peripheral
SLEEP
This moment frozen here
In betweeen
A memory and a dream
The warmth of your embrace
Has long been cold under the ice
In the folds of the sheets
I feel I'm dying
Just to feel you breathing in your sleep
Or am I lying
A promise of a love I could not keep
Your eyes looked distant
Dilated and dark
A stranger standing before me
Copiously
I feel I'm dying
Just to feel you breathing in your sleep
Or am I lying
A promise of a love I could not keep
This moment frozen here
In between
The tangible and unseen
Our love can be so cruel
We lash out in hear again
But who are we trying to fool?
HOME
Outside
The air is stiil and the leaves reflect the sky
Just like your eyes
Inside
This fever wraps around me like a blanket
As you crawl into me
Gather round
The fires waning flames to warm our core
And laugh once more
The night is closing in upon desires
Of lying on your shore
To love once more
And I'm home, home, home
But feeling so alone
In the autumn of our parting
You held me by the sea
Sweetly, and sultry
Your lips lessened the sting
Of the tears in my eyes
And I'm home, home, home
But feeling so alone

THESE THINGS
Drawn to the edge
I jump off the end of this shore
Head over heel
I fumble across
I stumble across the sea floor
Collecting the pieces we valued so much more
Come under the shade
I'll show you my brightest light
Burning for you
The plans that we've made
Drift out with the low tide
Out to the deep trenches of my own lies to myself
We do these things
Because of, because of love
Out comes are not means
To unhappy ends
But I am
Your touch on my skin
A reverie once so near
Seemed to always be far
Residual shades of a life that we shared before
Surface in patterns
But leave me to implore
(Chorus)
SOON
Soon this sinking feeling will reside
Within the silence of my hed
I forget your poker face and fold my hand
But I'll still lay it down
And I do
But I do
Soon the days will become years
I'll have forgotten all my tears
I'll run away, I'll run away
Till my fears come to life
Soon my love won't be missed
It started off with just once kiss
I'll pull away, I'll pull away, I'll pull away
Soon isn't enough
Who can I kid?
I can't stop loving you
No matter how hard I try
I'll try, I'll try, I'll try
Soon I'll give up wanting you
Your love for me just can't be true
You're kissing me, kissing me
Until I stop loving you
(chorus)
FALLEN
The more I've known
The more I see devils as angels in white
And people are
Hardly people to me anymore
And I, I see
Who's been lurking in doorways and asking for more
With arms outstretched
Seeking beauty and solace from their jaded sight
I wish I could just turn my back
I wish I could just close my eyes
Sometimes I
Forget what I'm fighting against anyway
It's dog eat dog
Not peace, love and beauty like we are all taught
And I, I see
The smoke is done clearing from firing rounds
Bleeding I
Run screaming for truth in actions and words
Who are you?
What's your name?
Can I buy you a drink?
Can I take your clothes off?
I wish I could just turn my back
I wish I could just close my eyes
Close my eyes
Close my eyes
Close my eyes
Close my eyes
Facades of gold
Perfection attained with self-serving thoughts
And so they say
That money buys people and people buy words
And I, I see
That trust can't be fought for, defended, or sought
With tanks of gold
Making war against angels
The innocence lost
(Chorus)
My light is dim
What shimmers is tarnished
Dulled down to the core
A jaded youth
Raped of her beauty
Surrounded by war
SAN FRANCISCO
Up in San Francisco bay
Just the other day
I was walking, trying to find my way
When she came up to me
And said, "come on now I'll show you around,
All you need to do is come with me"
So I took her hand that fateful day
The wind blew in and I was swept away
She had short hair and big brown eyes
A rock star shirt to my suprise
She knew why I was there
I said, "come on now, I'll show you around
All you need to do is come with me"
So I took her hand that fateful day
The wind blew in and I was swept away
With my guitar upon my back'
I left all of my pain in the past
And I smiled all the way
My heart had found a place to stay
I thought to myself
It's the start of a brand new day
So I took her hand that fateful day
The wind blew in and I was swept away
