See It Through

We were never gifted the privileges of yours
We are living in silhouettes of your wars
Our skies are full of clouds that take many forms
But who are you to care, it's our children being born
We live to stand for the things that are true
And we sail our boats in hope of finding something new
It's hard to bite our tongue when drinking poisons you would brew
But we know our fate and we will see it through
In the darkest nights we can finally see
Where the biggest fruits hang freely from the leaves
Filling our bellies and minds with hope of what we can be
But the seeds fill our throats and dreams cannot breathe
And our tracks are covered by the freshly fallen snow
And the candle drips light onto your shivering bones
We wonder if we'll ever see our children grow
But it's not up to us, you know

Newborn

This house is a mess
But outside is inviting
I wander around
Wander around
The train tracks are lit
With an alien lighting
I can't be bothered
To question it
I won't be the same
I won't be the same
I won't be the same
I'm not the same
Everything's changed
My mind has gone blank
I'm not the same
Don't know what I've lost
But the world's so much clearer
An innocent child
A newborn
We all need to change
We all need to change
I wish you could have been there

Sailor's Warning
04:16
|
|
||
Bring your boats to the shore
We've all heard the lore
Poisoned like an apple's core
Clouds are turning red
Light is cast upon the dead
All the birds have fled
Hold on
Our god is gone
Hold on
It's the devil's dawn
Pull your babies tight
Forget your sailor's delight
Watch the seas ignite
The silent breezes blow
The captain takes it row by row
Waiting for the nightly indigo
Hold on
Our god is gone
Hold on
It's the devil's dawn
Sailor's warning
Sailor's warning

Still Alive, Still Alone
05:46

I'm not happy
With my friend
Who takes control
Of the stars
We've grown older
Pennies in wells
Can't keep up
And it's all gone
Still alive
Still alone
You left me nothing
Nothing of use
Tomorrow's the only
Day in mind
I'm not sure what I'm drinking
But just one last sip
Maybe it'll kill me
Maybe not
Still Alive
Still Alone
Still Alive

Like Most Strangers Do
01:51

I fell
From space
Far away
From this place
All this time
I hadn't known
To give you a chance
Give you a chance
And I thought I knew
You were you
Like most strangers do
See right through

For Her
05:28
|
|

She believes in summer
Not a cloud in the sky
Her eyes are greener
Than the hills we'd fly over
I wish I could see her
But not at this time
I would set sail for her
But the waves are too high
Don't set with the sun
You make my days brighter
I can feel her fingers
Wrapped around my hand
It's days like these I wish
I could walk on land again
The light of the sea
Shines in my eye
The image it reflects
Shows you and I
Don't set with the sun
You make my days brighter

Morningside
03:42
|
|
||
Haven't the slightest clue
What I am going to do
The morning light fills up the room
Warmth fills my arms in place of you
Heaven is far away
Such a thing to say
Hold my place with the light of day
I guess my life begins today
And I think I lost my mind
Making lies just to get by
It's not like me to be
So uptight unruly
Maybe I'm a fool for light
It's morning tonight

Still alive
Still alone
Try to keep myself
From coming home
I kept it honest
For some time
But I don't think I
Fall in line
You kept me going
I want you to stay
I didn't think it would
Be this way
Mom and Dad
You need to know
I'm still your son
But I have to go
Still alive
Still alone
I'm still your son
But I have to go

The Past Tense
04:29

That hanging light
Will it still be there
When all our
Eyes close
Your fragile lungs
Will they still pump air
When all the
Stars go
We will see our lives
In all the lights
Our skies are time machines
For our eyes to see
This can't be it all
We're not alone
There's too much
Out there
Will you come with me
To see it all
I'll show you what
Life's for
And we'll see our lives
In all the lights
Our skies are time machines
For our eyes to see
