Bloom 05:23
Everything will change now Everything will turn into a lush green There has been enough heat All tension will be released The sky will fall upon us in a bright white flash of light The ocean will suffocate us in its blue velvet might So very far away So impervious and so opaque A heatwave rolling over me I’m not afraid, but I am weak Like the ants seek asylum in our house I seek asylum in your arms A rain that will wash away all that which prevented us from being pure And maybe we will bloom
2.
Airbourne 05:26
Soaring through the air I am coming over there No matter how hard I try I can’t make it to the other side I do not deserve to fly I grew up, still can’t go out at night I’m an infant, soon a child Ground me, keep me out of sight A giant magnet pulls me back A sudden stop, a mid-air crash A hundred locked doors, a hundred keys lost Why can’t I stop trying to go beyond? There is no infinity I’m looking for my boundaries I refuse to believe this is an endless place Drawing lines into this endless space I look down, all I see is clouds below Concealing all those places I cannot go From the air it looks more round I have to get down there somehow I have to find a way through the air I have to find a way out of here I have to find a home in the air I have to find a home somewhere

Focus Back 04:52
Tonight I’m not blinded by the city lights They blur into the background, they blur out of sight They shout their message to my deaf ears I see beyond now, everything is clear And I see beyond for the first time I see shapeless figures black the sky I flinch as they twitch and twirl before my eyes I wonder if it’s out there or if it’s within me They dance towards me to get within reach And I’m afraid for the first time Tonight I’m not leaping straight into the unknown Right here on the verge is where I feel at home And now the more I understand the less I care Stand on the ledge and throw your hands up in the air And I recognize my reflection for the first time I’ve got to focus back, I’ve got to focus back I’ve got to focus on what’s at hand Got to focus on the city lights Tonight I’ve got to focus on tonight First things first, a bubble that won’t burst My thirst for the unknown won’t be satisfied tonight One thing at a time Focus on what’s at hand

I dreamt That I slid over the edge Into the water Into the depths Away from remorse Away from fear Into the emptiness Into the silence Away from chaos Away from order There was nothing there

Hollow Sun 05:27
Can you hear the wind that blew the sun away? The hollow sun that shone my way That’s how we cooled down That’s how we became cold and indifferent Hollow sun, superficial star Who knows where you’ve been, who knows who you are Hollow sun, shine on me through the clouds Shine on my misery, shine on me loud It could be a nice day but I’m not certain Could walk to the window and open the curtain Embrace this moment and drop this burden Walk to the window and let the light in Maybe you gave me something Maybe my bubble needed bursting I really wanted you, oh well On the scale of the Milky Way it doesn’t really matter I really needed you, but I guess For a speck of dust in the universe, it could be worse
6.
Coöccur 04:32
Imaginary electrons on imaginary orbits Could we coexist? Eight on most, on the innermost two Could we collocate? Distant guesses and probabilities Could we cooperate? Could two things happen at the same time? Could we cooccur? We’re two extremes, we’re too extreme We don’t really exist Two dimensions, parallel lines We will never intersect
7.
Nightingale 04:47
Come June, be a nightingale, sing your song Open up your beak, with your hundred tongues Delicate, beautiful, crisp, and smooth Tell me what I want to hear, a hundred truths Read my mind, what do you find? Read my eyes, illusions and lies Come here, little nightingale, turn me on Spread your wings, open up your arms Please me, please be what I want Fly me into a hundred suns Vulnerable white lies, prone to catch fire Now you’re sunburnt, a red hot liar
8.
Mystery 03:16
When is it late enough to go to bed? Nobody’s hurt but I feel stupid And now that I’m too tired to remember what I said Take me into your arms Wash away my sins Dry the tears from my eyes Because they have never seen The night as it wakes up Cracking out of its black shell Everything, everywhere I might just break down I want to live through this nightmare The human experience And while I smother you With my painful innocence I need you to read into my nonsense A grain of salt from the dead sea of understanding Take me into your arms Whisper in my ear: “You have floated too far Into a dream of fear” I’m a little shaken By the fear of this all being a dream A recurring piece of reality Why I cannot just wake up Next to you when the sun comes up Is a complete mystery to me
9.
Sleepwalking 05:53
A June evening Sleepwalking Into the grassy grounds outdoors Sun shining So blinding Making everything seem so bright, seem alright Daffodils Reflecting The sunlight into my eyes, can’t see where I’m stepping Frightening Preventing Me from seeing the blackness of the Earth Under the flower bed Into the night Out of sight As we disappear in the shade of the midnight sun No more fear The snows of yesteryear Are melting away under this heat, so blistering I have no might That’s alright I don’t need to know what happens next Learn to let go Lose control I have no right to know what happens next
